Howard Stern Named in Epstein Emails About Woody Allen Dinner
Howard Stern has been pulled into newly released Jeffrey Epstein-related documents after an email exchange suggested the radio host was viewed as an enemy of filmmaker Woody Allen and Allen’s wife, Soon-Yi Previn. The reference appears in emails connected to a proposed 2017 dinner, included in a recent trove of Department of Justice-released records.
In a Nov. 29, 2017 message, Epstein asked Ms. Previn whether Stern should be invited to a dinner and floated an alternative guest, talk-show host Dick Cavett; New York Post reported that Ms. Previn replied, “Howard Stem is a mortal enemy. He is strongly in Mia’s corner,” a reference to actress Mia Farrow.
The report ties the comment to Stern’s long-running criticism of Mr. Allen dating back to the director’s early-1990s custody battle with Ms. Farrow, in which she alleged Allen sexually abused their daughter Dylan Farrow—an allegation Allen has denied. The documents cited also note that the allegations were not prosecuted, and the article describes Stern as frequently mocking Allen’s relationship with Ms. Previn on his radio show.
The latest release also includes other Epstein-era email chatter involving comics and entertainers, and it echoes earlier attention on Stern-adjacent names appearing in the material, including a prior Alternative Nation report about a Howard Stern staffer being mentioned in Epstein files.
Representatives for Stern, Allen and Mr. Cavett were not immediately available for comment in the report. The email references have renewed interest in how Epstein’s social circle overlapped with major media and entertainment figures, even when the mentions involve dinner invites and other non-criminal context.
