Howard Stern Moves to Dismiss Ex-Assistant’s Lawsuit

Howard Stern is challenging a lawsuit against him from his former executive assistant, who’s suing for $2.5 million and a court order voiding her nondisclosure agreement. In a bid to dismiss the case filed on Wednesday, Stern alleges the assistant, Leslie Kuhn, attempted to extract a hush-money payment from him and his production company before they sued. He denies claims that he fostered a hostile work environment, calling the lawsuit a shakedown. “We are not going to play this out in public,” said Ilene Farkas, a lawyer for the SiriusXM host, in a statement. “The Sterns are entitled to enforce non-disclosure agreements signed by employees who enter their home and their private life, and they have filed a motion to address the lawsuit and the conduct of Ms. Kuhn and her lawyer.” The legal battle started last month when Kuhn sued Stern, his wife and his production company, One Twelve. She was hired by SiriusXM in 2022 as an office manager for The Howard Stern Show and later became the host’s executive assistant. Earlier this …

OLIVIER MONGE/MYOP FOR LE MONDE “We are entering a war economy.” On June 13, 2022, at the opening of the Eurosatory arms fair in Villepinte, near Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron, for the first time since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine four months earlier, had called on the defense industry to “move faster, rethink the pace, ramp-ups and margins in order to more rapidly rebuild what is essential for our armed forces, our allies or those whom we want to support.” Three and a half years later, Macron remains unsatisfied, and he made that clear to industry leaders on Thursday, January 15, at the Istres air base in the southern Bouches-du-Rhône department, during his New Year’s address to the military. “A lot of efforts have been made. I acknowledged it; we have doubled, sometimes tripled, our production capacities and rates. Let’s be honest with ourselves. Are we truly operating under a war economy? The answer is no. Because if we were at war, …

Published by Sam Flores

The president previously warned the Islamic regime that he would take military action if they harmed protesters. Since then, at least 2,000 protesters in Iran have been killed. Mr Trump vowed the US would take “very strong action” if the “red line” had been crossed. Issuing a stern warning, President Trump said it won’t “work out good” if claims about hanging protesters ring true. “I haven’t heard about their hangings, if there’re any,’ Trump told CBS as he toured a Ford factory in Detroit on Tuesday. “We will take very strong action if they do such a thing.” CBS’ Tony Dokoupil asked: “And this strong action – are we talking about, what’s the end game?” Mr Trump replied: “If they wanna have protests, that’s one thing. When they start killing thousands of people – now you’re telling me about hanging – we’ll see how that works out for them. It’s not gonna work out good.” His remarks came after reports from rights groups claiming that the Iranian government plans to execute the first protester on …
