According to The Wall Street Journal, Jeffrey Epstein and Woody Allen had plans to socialize together every month from 2014 to 2015, despite Epstein being a registered sex offender who had already been sentenced to jail for soliciting a minor for sex.
Epstein's schedules and diaries, which were recently made public, also reveal that he was friendly with Lawrence Summers, former Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton and later President of Harvard University. Epstein was also known to hang out with billionaire LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, a major donor to President Joe Biden.
A spokesperson for Woody Allen stated that the filmmaker was always accompanied by his wife, Soon-Yi Previn when socializing with Epstein. The couple lived in Epstein's neighborhood and were frequently invited to dinner parties at his townhouse, where there were always other guests. The spokesperson clarified that Epstein and Allen never had a business meeting.
Epstein's documents reportedly show that in late 2012, they planned to view Allen's new film together. An assistant to Allen sent one of Epstein's assistants a note asking if Jeffrey would be interested in watching the movie that day or the next. Epstein said he was available. In 2013, they reportedly scheduled multiple visits to artist Jeff Koons' studio, and in 2017, they planned to attend a Sotheby's auction together. Epstein's staff sometimes ordered Allen flourless chocolate cakes and bottles of Beck's beer.
It is worth noting that Epstein was found dead in his New York prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Earlier this year, a police report revealed that former President Clinton's special advisor Mark Middleton, who reportedly signed Epstein into the White House seven out of the 17 times he visited, was found dead in Perryville, Arkansas, having been hung from a tree and shot in the chest.
