Woody Allen Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Again at Age 90
According to Cinemadrame News Agency, 90-year-old American director Woody Allen has once again been linked to the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The Annie Hall director appears in several photographs released by House Democrats last Friday, though the images do not explicitly show him engaging in any illegal activity.
In one of the photos, Allen is seen sitting in a director’s chair conversing with Epstein. Another image shows him speaking with Steve Bannon, former advisor to Donald Trump, while a third photo depicts Allen and Epstein sharing a drink. The time and location of these photographs currently remain unknown.
Epstein committed “suicide” in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Last month, after the U.S. House and Senate agreed to release the Epstein documents, Trump was linked to Epstein in several other images. Remaining documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case are scheduled for release by December 19.
Allen has never denied his association with Epstein, stating they first met at a dinner party in 2010. In an interview with The Sunday Times, he mentioned that he and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, were invited to the dinner, where they met other guests including “one of those British royals.”
“At that time, we didn’t know Jeffrey at all,” Allen said. “But we saw all these people coming and greeting him, so we thought, ‘Well, he must be a person of note.'”
He added: “He told us he had been to prison and that, in some ways, he had been wrongly imprisoned. He said he wanted to make amends through humanitarian work and by donating money to scientists and universities. He couldn’t have been more gentlemanly.”
A letter from Allen to Epstein for his 63rd birthday was previously published in The New York Times. The Manhattan and Midnight in Paris director recalled Epstein’s dinner parties at his Upper East Side apartment in New York, calling the gatherings “always fascinating.” In the letter, he writes that at these parties, he encountered “politicians, scientists, teachers, magicians, comedians, intellectuals,” and “even royalty.”
In another part of the letter, Allen writes that these parties—which were “frequently with professional servants and also frequently with several young women”—reminded him of “Dracula’s Castle” in the film Dracula: “Where [Bela] Lugosi has three young female vampires in his service.”
Among the new images released last Friday, figures such as Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Bill Gates, and Prince Andrew are visible. In one of the most controversial photos, Steve Bannon is seen meeting with Epstein, while a reflection in a mirror appears to show a girl who seems to be unconscious.
