Stern's Ex-Employee Sues for Hostile Work Environment

0:00It's April 7th. Entertainment and celebrity news today starts now. AI-powered and spotlight-ready. I'm Cory with the story. Howard Stern and his wife Beth are facing a lawsuit from their former employee, Leslie Kuhn, who claims they created a hostile work environment. Kuhn started as office manager on the Howard Stern show, back in September 2022, then moved into their Southampton mansion as a live-in, assistant, handling staff duties, and Beth's big cat rescue operation at home. She filed the suit on April 5th in New York County Supreme Court, naming Stern's production companies as defendants. Kuhn got fired in February by the VP of Finance at 112 Inc, whose cited alleged misconduct, but she says that's not the full story. This hits close to home for fans since Kuhn was deep in the Stern's world, from Radio Gig to Mansion Management. The pressure from chaotic animal fostering and sloppy business practices reportedly built up, leading to her exit, and now this legal battle.

1:00Court docs show Kuhn plans to lay out her version of events, counter any accusations against her, and safeguard her career moving forward. No word yet from the Stern camp on their side. As this plays out in court, it'll be interesting to see how it shakes up the behind-the-scenes vibe of one of Radio's biggest names, stay tuned for updates.
