Howard Stern and his wife, Beth Stern, are being sued by a former assistant who claims they operated a hostile work environment.
The former assistant, Leslie Kuhn, is suing the couple in a New York court, claiming the Sterns asked her to move into their 20,000-square-foot Southampton mansion and Beth assigned many duties, per reporting from TMZ.
Among her duties were managing the mansion’s staff, including scheduling, payroll, and general running of the household, which also included Beth’s at-home cat rescue and fostering operation.
Kuhn claims she was fired less than two years after moving in, saying it was due to a “hostile work environment and enablement of that hostile work environment, immense pressures on the household created by irresponsible and untenable animal rescue and fostering operations occurring on-site, and massively disorganized and questionable business operations and accounting practices.”
She also claims that Stern’s production company, One Twelve, presented her with a separation agreement that had an NDA made to look like it had been signed years ago when she first started her job with the Sterns.
But Kuhn claims the NDA was signed before she interviewed and says the signature “is nothing more than her typewritten name in the same font style and size used to identify the parties’ names in the recitals of the agreement.”
She is suing and asking the court to declare the NDA unenforceable so she can disclose further details of her employment and address any potential accusations from the Sterns.
