Howard Stern Sued by Ex-Executive Assistant Over Nondisclosure Deal
Key Points:
- Leslie Kuhn, Howard Stern’s former executive assistant, has filed a lawsuit seeking to void her nondisclosure agreement, alleging a hostile work environment linked to an animal rescue group run by Stern’s wife.
- Kuhn was hired in 2022 as an office manager for The Howard Stern Show and later became Stern’s executive assistant, but was terminated for cause earlier this year shortly after receiving a raise to $265,000.
- The lawsuit claims Kuhn was wrongfully accused of misconduct and that her firing was due to pressure from the animal foster group operated by Stern’s wife.
- Kuhn alleges she was presented with a fraudulent confidentiality agreement covering Stern’s personal affairs, including family, friends, and daily activities, which she was told she signed the previous year.
- Since 2024, Kuhn reportedly lived with Stern and his wife in their Southampton mansion, managing house staff and payroll as part of her duties.
