Private Emails Reveal Woody Allen’s Wife Spoke Against the #MeToo Movement With Jeffrey Epstein

New court releases tied to Jeffrey Epstein are once again pulling well-known names into public view. This time, attention has turned to Soon-Yi Previn, the wife of filmmaker Woody Allen, after private emails connected to Epstein were made public.

The messages were released by the Department of Justice as part of a large document dump under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Millions of pages were unsealed on Friday, offering a closer look at Epstein’s personal contacts and years of private communication. Among them were several emails exchanged between Epstein and Previn.

According to the newly released files, Previn shared her personal opinions on major cultural moments, including the MeToo movement. In a 2018 email sent to Epstein, she forwarded a note she said she had written only for herself.

In it, she compared the MeToo movement to cosmetic procedures, suggesting it had gone too far. The email was created at a time when the movement was rapidly reshaping Hollywood and other industries.

The documents also show that Previn discussed other public scandals in her messages. In one exchange from 2016, she sent Epstein a link related to former congressman Anthony Weiner and his s*****g case. In her comments, she expressed pity for Weiner, writing that he seemed unable to stop his behavior and saying she felt sorry for both him and his wife.

Her tone shifted when she referred to the teenage girl involved in the case. In the email, Previn described the situation in harsh terms and placed blame on the minor. She wrote that the girl knew exactly what she was doing and accused her of taking advantage of an older man. She added that the teenager should feel ashamed for her role in the scandal.

Those statements, now public, have sparked renewed criticism online and reopened conversations about Previn’s own past. Her relationship with Woody Allen has been controversial for decades. Allen began dating Previn in the early 1990s after ending his relationship with her adoptive mother, Mia Farrow. The couple later married and has remained together ever since.

The resurfacing of these emails has also renewed interest in Allen’s own connection to Epstein. In a 2025 interview, Allen spoke openly about knowing Epstein socially. He described him as charming and said he attended dinner parties at Epstein’s home that were filled with high-profile guests, including scientists and Nobel Prize winners.

Allen said in that interview that he never witnessed anything inappropriate at those gatherings. He insisted that he never saw underage girls present and claimed Epstein was always accompanied by adult women. Allen maintained that he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal behavior during the time they socialized.

The Department of Justice has not commented on the specific emails involving Previn, but officials confirmed that the release is part of an effort to make Epstein-related records more transparent to the public.

Legal experts have noted that the documents do not suggest criminal wrongdoing by many of the people named, but they do reveal personal opinions and associations that had previously stayed private.

As more documents continue to be reviewed, it is likely that additional names and conversations will come into focus. For now, the emails involving Previn have added another layer to the ongoing discussion around Epstein’s influence and the long shadow his connections continue to cast.
