The uproar that surfaced Wednesday about the paternity of Mia Farrow's son Ronan namely that his father is Farrow's ex, Frank Sinatra, and not her former longtime partner Woody Allen has been called "a phony deal" by Sinatra's widow Barbara Sinatra.
Barbara Sinatra spoke to The Desert Sun after the emergence of the rumors, which were connected with a new Vanity Fair profile of Mia Farrow. Writer Maureen Orth spoke to the actress and eight of her children for the story, and visited TODAY on Wednesday to discuss her article.
She told TODAY, "I asked (Mia Farrow) point blank, and I said, 'Is Ronan Frank Sinatra's son?' and she said, 'Possibly.'"
Sinatra, 85, told The Sun that she was unaware of the reports until the publication asked about them. Her response: "I can't hardly believe that. It's just a bunch of junk. There's always junk written lies that aren't true."

(103,856 posts)Sinatra DNA of any living relative would show a link and if there is anything he left behind (hairbrush etc) they could test it as well.. They could also rule OUT Woody Allen fairly easily.
I don't think the kid is interested in suing the estate.. Mia probably should have not said anything unless she knew for sure..

She and her son are very close and he has nothing to do with his legal father, Woody Allen. If Ronan doesn't mind her answering this question truthfully, why should anyone else?

(109,024 posts)But I can see why Sinatra's wife would find this story disturbing -- unlike Sinatra's daughter, who says the young man is part of the family.

(20,277 posts)I don't understand what the big deal is. Mia wants another 15 minutes...

(7,720 posts)As opposed to lies that ARE true?
I don't think Ronan Farrow would like his DNA tested against either Allen or Sinatra. He might not like to discover that his brother-in-law is his biological father.
