Newly unsealed court documents have revealed email correspondence between Soon-Yi Previn and the late Jeffrey Epstein, adding another layer of scrutiny to the high-profile figures connected to Epstein’s private communications.
The emails were released as part of millions of pages made public under the Department of Justice’s Epstein Files Transparency Act. Among those documents are several messages sent by Previn, who is married to filmmaker Woody Allen.
In one email exchange dated January 2018, Previn forwarded Epstein a message she had previously sent to herself. The email carried the subject line, “Just as the Me Too movement has gone too far so has Botox.”
The #MeToo movement gained global attention in 2017 as women began publicly sharing experiences of sexual harassment and abuse, particularly involving powerful men in media, politics, and business. It led to widespread cultural reckoning, workplace consequences, and legal action in some cases.
While Previn did not expand further on the comparison in the forwarded message, the phrasing drew renewed scrutiny after the email became public, given Epstein’s later criminal convictions and the broader context surrounding allegations of sexual misconduct involving influential figures.
The unsealed documents also include a message in which Previn shared a Daily Mail article with Epstein about former New York congressman Anthony Weiner, who was involved in a sexting scandal with a 15 year old girl in 2016.
In her email, Previn placed blame on the teenage victim rather than Weiner. She described the situation as “an incredible story” and said she felt sorry for him, adding that she believed the girl was responsible for the encounter.
“I also thought it was disgusting what the 15-year-old did to him,” Previn wrote, adding that she believed the girl “knew exactly what she was doing” and took advantage of Weiner while he was vulnerable.
She went on to say that while Weiner was “sick,” she believed the teenager was also “sick” and described her actions as manipulative.
Soon-Yi Previn was adopted by actress Mia Farrow and conductor André Previn in 1978. She first met Woody Allen as a child after Farrow began a romantic relationship with the filmmaker in 1980.
Farrow and Allen ended their relationship in the early 1990s after Farrow discovered Allen’s affair with Previn. Allen and Previn married in 1997 and later adopted two daughters together.
In 1992, Farrow accused Allen of sexually abusing their adopted daughter Dylan, who was seven years old at the time. Dylan publicly repeated those allegations in 2013 and again in the 2021 documentary Allen v. Farrow. Allen has consistently denied the allegations and has never been charged with a crime.
Allen has previously acknowledged being friends with Epstein. In a 2025 interview with a U.K. publication, Allen described Epstein as “charming and personable” and recalled attending dinner parties at Epstein’s home with Previn.
Allen said the gatherings included academics, scientists, and other accomplished guests. He stated that neither he nor Previn ever witnessed Epstein with underage girls and claimed Epstein always appeared with an adult girlfriend.
The release of the emails has renewed public attention on the social circles surrounding Epstein and the opinions expressed by those connected to him, particularly in light of ongoing conversations about accountability, power, and sexual misconduct.
