Ex-Stern Assistant Sues for Wrongful Termination

0:00A former assistant to Howard Stern and his wife Beth Astrosky Stern just filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against the couple, along with their company's 112 and Howard Stern, production company. Leslie Cune claims she got fired in February 2026 for supposed misconduct that hurt her reputation, but she says those reasons were made, up, especially by Beth Stern. Cune worked overlapping jobs for them, starting in September 2022 on the Howard Stern Show at Sirius XM, then as executive assistant in December 2023, and from May 2024, managing their Southampton mansion, including Beth's big cat rescue operation at home. She insists none of those roles required signing any employment contract or non-disclosure agreement. No one from Stern or Astrosky Stern's team has commented yet on the suit. Cune says right before getting canned, the company think turned December for her 2025 work, promised an $80,000 bonus, and a raise to $265,000 in 2026.

Cune wants to speak out about a hostile work setup from chaotic animal fostering and messy business accounting to clear her name. This legal battle could spill more details on their home life and operations, so stay tuned as it unfolds in court. This has been Vancouver News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
