Overview

  • In his 63rd birthday note, Allen described dinners at Epstein’s seven-story, 21,000-square-foot townhouse as served by staff and “young female vampires” evoking the 1931 Dracula film.
  • He quipped that Epstein lived alone in the vast home, suggesting one could picture him “sleeping in damp earth.”
  • The letter surfaced in a recent New York Times exposé detailing the mansion’s eerie decor and its history as a former Les Wexner estate.
  • The Times report also released private messages from other notable figures, including former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak and media mogul Mortimer Zuckerman.
  • Allen has declined requests for comment on the letter, which adds a vivid new anecdote to ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s social circle and properties.
