Woody Allen Says Epstein "Couldn't Have Been Nicer" at Dinner With Prince Andrew

The filmmaker's new interview revives questions about elite social ties to Epstein.

Overview

  • Allen says his first encounter with Epstein was a December 2010 dinner that included the Duke of York, shortly after Epstein completed a prior jail term.
  • He recounts being invited by a publicist and seeing prominent guests who, in his telling, embraced Epstein socially.
  • Allen says Epstein told guests he had been falsely imprisoned and was trying to make amends through philanthropy to scientists and universities.
  • Allen says he and Soon‑Yi Previn later attended more dinners, never saw underage girls present, and did not see Ghislaine Maxwell at those events.
  • Background noted in the reports includes Epstein's 2019 death after a sex‑trafficking arrest and Prince Andrew's withdrawal from public duties and settlement with Virginia Giuffre.
