Howard and Beth Stern Make Rare Public Appearance Following Lawsuit Drama
The couple was spotted leaving "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in Brooklyn after a legal battle with their former assistant.
Howard Stern and his wife, Beth Stern, were seen making a rare public appearance on Tuesday, exiting the set of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in Brooklyn, New York, following recent legal disputes. Kimmel is hosting a special week of shows in Brooklyn.
Howard, 72, was dressed in an all-black ensemble, including a jacket, button-down shirt, and jeans, complete with his signature sunglasses. Beth, 54, wore a yellow top paired with a long maroon skirt and matching heels.
During his interview on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," Howard confirmed his wife's presence, affectionately calling her "beautiful." He also touched on their upcoming 18th wedding anniversary, joking about plans for romance and a quick celebration.
In April, the couple was sued by their former executive assistant, Leslie Kuhn, who alleged a hostile work environment. Kuhn's lawsuit detailed the pressures of managing the Sterns' Hamptons home and Beth's extensive feline rescue operations. She also claimed that Howard's production company, One Twelve, presented her with a forged non-disclosure agreement.
Howard dismissed the lawsuit as a "shakedown" and a "transparent sham." In July, a judge ruled against Kuhn's allegations concerning the forged NDAs, marking a legal victory for the Sterns.
This public appearance follows a period of significant media attention for Howard, including layoffs from his SiriusXM show and a joke about being called a "scumbag" in the press during the season premiere of "The Howard Stern Show."
