Howard Stern Ex-Assistant Values NDA Challenge at $2.5 Million in Amended Suit

The case tests how far celebrity household NDAs can silence former staff.

Overview

  • An amended complaint asks a New York court to void a confidentiality agreement and a nondisclosure agreement, valuing that request at not less than $2.5 million.
  • The filing notes that Howard and Beth Stern have not yet responded in court or commented publicly.
  • Leslie Kuhn alleges a hostile workplace while managing staff and Beth Stern’s large at-home cat rescue, calling the operation and bookkeeping massively disorganized.
  • She says Howard’s production company promised a $265,000 salary and an $80,000 2026 bonus in a December 2025 letter, then fired her in February 2026.
  • The suit argues the agreements bar her from discussing her work and the couple’s personal details, so she asks the judge to lift terms she says silence her.
