Disturbing messages about sexting exchanges between Jeffrey Epstein and Woody Allen’s stepdaughter-wife, Soon-Yi Previn, have been exposed.
An explosive cache of newly released Epstein files has revealed a disturbing email and text trail linking three of America’s most infamous sex scandal figures: Epstein, the 90-year-old director, and former Congressman Anthony Weiner.
At the center of the correspondence is Allen’s wife, who began a relationship with the Oscar-winning director when she was 21 and he was 56.
Previn’s Response To Weiner Scandal
In 2016, the Daily Mail revealed that Weiner had asked a 15-year-old girl to undress for him and enact rape fantasies. He was later sentenced to 21 months in prison.
After Previn shared the article with Epstein, he replied simply: "Wow."
Rather than criticize Weiner, who was 53 at the time, the 55-year-old directed her anger at the teenage girl, saying: "I know. I also thought it was disgusting what the 15-year-old did."
"I hate women who take advantage of guys, and she is definitely one of them. She knew exactly what she was doing and how vulnerable (Weiner) was and she reeled him in like fish to bait," she continued. "What is her excuse for being a despicable and disgusting person who preys on the week (sic)."
She added: "Most importantly, I feel sorry for his wife," referring to Weiner’s ex-wife Huma Abedin, and concluded: "So manipulative on her part. She should be ashamed of herself."
The exchange is one of several revealing communications illustrating the close bond between Previn, Allen, and Epstein.
A Cozy Friendship With Epstein
The connection began in 2010, two years after Epstein served 15 months in prison for having sex with minors. According to Allen, Epstein framed his conviction as “extortion.”
Allen later told the Sunday Times of London: "He told us he was trying to make up for it now by being philanthropic and giving money to cutting-edge scientists and universities. He couldn't have been nicer," cited by Metro.
Pictures unearthed from the DOJ files show Allen and Epstein walking together in what appears to be Paris, dining at Epstein’s New York mansion, and socializing alongside unidentified women whose faces were redacted - likely because they were the disgraced financier's victims.
The pair were also seen leaving Epstein’s home during Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s December 2010 visit.
Andrew has denied allegations that he had sex with Virginia Giuffre when she was 17.
Flirtation And Dark Humor
Text messages between Epstein and Allen’s account, often believed to have been written by Previn, included off-color jokes and flirtatious banter.
In 2017, Epstein told Previn: "You are sOOOOO funny." She responded: "I'll have Woody put pressure on you. That way you'll be book ended."
In 2018, she wrote: "Woody said that you are probably thrilled that you met me. That you probably have never met anyone so much on the take, not even in politics."
Epstein replied: "Idi amin," referencing the former Ugandan dictator. He added: "He didnt just cause heartburn he ate them. Hearts."
In another 2016 exchange filled with innuendo, the person using Allen’s phone wrote: "You should be so lucky. Once I get out my whip they will."
That same year, Epstein purchased Previn a Hermes Apple Watch worth up to $1,950. She replied: "OMG you give the best gifts ever."
The files also reveal Epstein acting as a confidant and adviser to Allen and Previn. After the mom-of-two gave an interview to New York Magazine in 2018 discussing her upbringing and the allegations against Allen, which he denies, Epstein criticized her for admitting that she once ate a bar of soap in distress.
"Lets say it doesn't portray a healthy mental state," Epstein said. Previn responded: "Mia's people threatened to sue the magazine. It was pile on." Epstein replied: "DONT give up. It is ok if it is step one. But it cannot rest here."
When Previn said she feared the press might be outside her home, Epstein advised her to focus on appearances. "Try to look cute", he said. "Try hard."
Other Powerful Links Revealed
The Allen-Previn revelations come amid broader scrutiny of Epstein’s global connections.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, head of global ports operator DP World, recently resigned after newly released files showed he exchanged hundreds of emails with Epstein over a decade, including one where he allegedly sent a "torture" video.
Per BBC News, Epstein described Sulayem as “one of his most trusted friends” in a June 2013 email. The correspondence included travel plans, business discussions, crude jokes, and references to women.
In one email from 2015, Sulayem wrote that he believed “Russia is the source of all beautiful women.” In 2017, he boasted: "This my new 22 years old Uzbek" - to which Epstein replied: "According to her passport she is now 23, old".
Epstein also appeared to lobby UK business secretary Lord Mandelson on Sulayem’s behalf, writing in 2009: "Be nice to Sultan."
