Soon-Yi Previn says Howard Stern is Woody Allen’s “mortal enemy”
Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, have a proclaimed adversary in shock jock Howard Stern, as revealed in a recent release of documents by the Department of Justice related to Jeffrey Epstein. In an email exchange between Epstein and Previn in 2017, Epstein inquired about inviting Stern to a dinner, to which Previn responded with a vehement declaration that Stern was their “mortal enemy” and a strong supporter of Mia Farrow.
The animosity between Stern and Allen stems from a tumultuous custody battle between Allen and Farrow in 1992, during which Farrow accused Allen of sexually abusing their daughter, Dylan Farrow, when she was a child. Despite the allegations being dismissed by the court and social services, the conflict between Stern and Allen persisted. Stern mocked Allen’s romantic involvement with Previn, Farrow’s adopted daughter, on his radio show, making their relationship a recurring subject of his commentary.
The newly released Epstein emails also shed light on Stern’s presence in Epstein’s social circle. In a series of emails from 2015 between comedian Bobby Slayton and Epstein discussing a gathering, Stern’s sidekick Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling was suggested along with anecdotes about Stern’s frugality. The emails also mention the possibility of inviting comedians Chris Rock and Louis C.K. to the event. Comedian Lewis Black recounted attending a party at Epstein’s mansion, where he noted the lavishness of the event and the notable attendees.
Following the release of these documents, Stern’s absence from his radio show raised concerns among fans about his well-being and the show’s stability. Stern, known as the “King of All Media,” recently renewed his contract with SiriusXM, further solidifying his position in the broadcasting world. Representatives for Stern, Allen, and other mentioned personalities were unavailable for immediate comment on the matter.
The ongoing feud between Howard Stern and Woody Allen, as revealed in the Epstein documents, adds a layer of complexity to the already controversial lives of these public figures. The clash between them continues to be a topic of interest and speculation among their followers and the general public. Stern’s unique commentary style and personal interactions with those involved in the entertainment industry further contribute to the ongoing intrigue surrounding this longstanding rivalry.
