Sterns Facing Lawsuit: Hostile Work, Forged Agreement

0:00On April 6th, Howard Stern and his wife, Beth, are facing a lawsuit from their former employee, Leslie Koon, who claims they created a hostile work environment. She started as office manager for his serious XM show back in September, 2022, then moved up to Executive Assistant in January 20. 24. A few months later, they asked her to relocate to their Southampton Mansion in New York. There, she handled staff schedules, payroll, household ops, and especially, Beth's big-at-home cat rescue and fostering setup. Beth's a major animal advocate, tied to North Shore Animal League in their new Feline Adoption Center. But Koon says the chaotic rescue operations and sloppy business practices piled on massive pressure, leading to her firing on February 26th. Now, she's alleging the Stern's law firm forged her signature on a separation agreement with an NDA to silence her. Core docs call it totally fabricated, and she's pushing to have it thrown out while making them pay her legal fees.
