Sterns' Assistant Sues for Wrongful Firing

0:00On April 7th, Howard Stern and his wife Beth are catching heat from a lawsuit filed by their former executive assistant, Leslie Coon. She managed their Southampton mansion, oversaw the staff, and handled Beth's big cat rescue operation right there at the house. Coon claims they wrongfully fired her and created a hostile work environment. Things look solid at first. Back in December 2025, Howard's production company sent her a letter promising a salary bump to $265,000. Plus an $80,000 bonus the next year. But by February, it all flipped. Their company asked her, blaming alleged misconduct. Coon argues the real problem was non-stop stress from the chaotic animal, fostering and messy household accounting that made the job impossible. She's also fighting a non-disclosure agreement they pushed on her, covering details like their properties and travel plans. Coon says she never signed it and wants a court to rule it invalid, calling it way too one-sided for someone in her position.
