The latest documents released by the Department of Justice regarding disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein have dropped a major celebrity feud right into our laps. Shock jock Howard Stern is certainly named in the trove, but thankfully for him, the context is pure social drama: he’s mentioned as a “mortal enemy” of director Woody Allen and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn.
This information came to light through an email exchange dated November 29, 2017. Epstein, who was neighbors with Allen and Previn on the Upper East Side, emailed Previn to ask if they’d like Stern to attend a dinner they were planning. Epstein wrote, “Do i remember correctly that woody does not like howard stern? Should we invite cavett?” referring to talk-show host Dick Cavett.
