Overview
- New DOJ documents detail frequent contact among Woody Allen, Soon‑Yi Previn and Jeffrey Epstein as the department continues releasing millions of pages with ongoing redactions.
- Emails show Epstein enlisted former Obama White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler in 2015 to arrange a tour for Allen and Previn, which visitor logs confirm.
- In 2018, Previn wrote that the #MeToo movement had “gone too far,” and in 2016 she blamed the 15‑year‑old in Anthony Weiner’s sexting case in messages to Epstein.
- A 2021 exchange shows Previn thanking Epstein for helping daughter Bechet Allen with admission to Bard College, while a spokesperson for Leon Botstein disputes Epstein’s credit and says she was admitted on her merits.
- Previn called Timothée Chalamet a “prick” in a 2018 email, and a separate note from publicist Peggy Siegal to Epstein said Chalamet was “forced” by agents to publicly distance himself from Allen.
