Woody Allen and Soon-Yi’s Emails to Epstein Reveal College Admission Boost & More
The recent disclosure of private emails between Soon-Yi Previn and Jeffrey Epstein has raised eyebrows regarding their relationship. These communications reveal insights into Previn’s interactions and connections, particularly concerning their daughter’s college admissions.
Emails Uncover Admission Assistance
In a notable exchange from 2017, Previn expressed gratitude to Epstein for assisting her daughter Bechet Allen’s acceptance into Bard College. This favor reportedly stemmed from Epstein’s personal connection with Bard’s president, Leon Botstein.
- Bechet Allen graduated from Bard College in 2021.
- Approximately 40% of applicants gain admission each year based on merit.
Previn communicated her desire for Bechet to experience the challenges of the admissions process. She stated, “I think it’s best that Bechet struggles and doesn’t know ahead of time that she got in.” She further expressed deep appreciation to Epstein, emphasizing the significance of his help by stating, “Thank you for coming through for us.”
Institutional Responses
Following the revelations, Bard College did not comment directly. However, a spokesperson for president Botstein dismissed Epstein’s claims, asserting he was “a serial liar.” The spokesperson maintained that Bechet’s admission was based solely on her qualifications.
General Correspondence with Epstein
The emails also indicate that Previn and Epstein’s relationship was multifaceted, covering various subjects. In 2016, they discussed Anthony Weiner’s legal troubles, with Previn criticizing the victim’s actions in the scandal.
- Previn reflected on the vulnerability of the victim, questioning her motives.
- Her comments highlighted a complex understanding of the situation involving Weiner.
Thoughts on Public Figures
Amid discussions about her children’s education, Previn also shared opinions on Hollywood figures. She notably commented on Timothée Chalamet in 2018, expressing satisfaction over the negative reviews of his film.
