Soon-Yi Previn’s Emails to Jeffrey Epstein Unearth College Admissions Boost, #MeToo Criticism and Timothée Chalamet Diss

Numerous unearthed notes give insight into the couple’s personal history, suggesting close ties to Epstein, the late convicted sex offender and human trafficker.
A 2021 exchange shows Previn profusely thanking Epstein for helping daughter Bechet Allen gain admission to New York’s Bard College, thanks to a personal connection the billionaire had with school president Leon Botstein.
“I think it’s best that Bechet struggles and doesn’t know ahead of time that she got in so that when she gets into Bard she will have sweated it out a bit and will really want to go. Thank you for coming through for us,” Previn wrote Epstein. “I can’t tell you how much this means to me. Woody said when Bechet sets fire to the school they’ll have you to thank.”
Bard College Admissions Scandal
Bard College did not return requests for comment, though a spokesperson for Botstein told the New York Times that Epstein was “serial liar who apparently took credit for the sun rising each day.” The rep added that Bechet Allen was admitted “on the merits of her own qualifications,” as are 40% of hopeful students are to Bard each year.
There’s also 2016 exchange between Previn and Epstein, discussing disgraced politician Anthony Weiner after his conviction for transferring obscene material to a minor.
Outside of the academic aspirations of her kids, Previn shared thoughts with Epstein about famous figures she and Woody Allen intersected with.
“I’m glad that prick Chalamet’s movie did not get a good review,” she wrote in 2018, referring to Timothée Chalamet. The “Marty Supreme” Oscar contender was the lead in Allen’s A Rainy Day in New York, which Amazon shelved that year. The production was plagued by scandals– #MeToo consumed the culture and Allen’ past accusations of sexual abuse of his own daughter Dylan Farrow.
