Soon-Yi Previn, the wife of the film director Woody Allen, sent emails to Jeffrey Epstein telling the convicted sex offender that the #MeToo justice movement “has gone too far” – and smearing an underage girl at the center of a sexting case as “despicable and disgusting” rather than the former US congressman who went to prison for illicitly messaging the minor, according to recently released government files.

At one point, Previn also wrote about how her stepbrother Ronan Farrow received more “prestige … than he deserves” in a New York Times article published months after his journalism about Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul and now-convicted sex offender, won a share of a Pulitzer prize and kicked off the #MeToo movement.

Those documents emerged amid Friday’s tranche of the so-called Epstein files, which built upon earlier partial disclosures and was released by the US justice department in connection with a congressional transparency law. They also surfaced as Previn’s complicated history in the public eye looms.

Previn and Allen were among the myriad notable figures to maintain a friendship with the late Epstein even years after the affluent financier had pleaded guilty in Florida state court in 2008 to procuring a minor for prostitution. The new files, and ones released beforehand, are replete with communications surrounding social gatherings – even detailing how Epstein once gifted them genetic testing kits.
