Beth has fostered 2,000+ cats since 2013 as spokesperson for North Shore Animal League America. Howard's always supported the rescue work — but this lawsuit suggests the scale may have created operational chaos behind the scenes.
Kuhn's asking the court to void the NDA, arguing it creates an "unfair advantage" for the Sterns — who have far more resources and influence. She claims it prevents her from defending herself while they control the narrative.
The real fight: an NDA that Kuhn says she never signed. She claims Howard's production company manufactured both the termination reasons and the agreement — which silences her but allows the Sterns to speak freely about her.
The lawsuit alleges a "hostile work environment" driven by "irresponsible and untenable animal rescue operations" on-site, plus "massively disorganized business operations and questionable accounting practices." Beth's rescue work has housed 17+ cats at a time.
Kuhn started in May 2024 managing their 20,000 sq ft Southampton estate — including Beth's extensive cat rescue operations. She got a raise letter in December 2025, then was terminated two months later with no clear explanation.
Howard Stern and wife Beth just got hit with a lawsuit from their ex-executive assistant — and the allegations paint a messy picture behind the mansion doors. Leslie Kuhn claims a promised $265k salary + $80k bonus vanished when she was abruptly fired in February.
