This is from a woman who worked in their house and for their cat rescue operation, not on the show. Since nobody reads the articles anymore. Probably more likely she worked closer with Beth, his wife, who runs a cat charity.

I had a stray cat spend 2 days on my porch and I made the mistake of posting on some local found pets pages. Kitty wandered off again as soon as the posts went live, and meanwhile I was overwhelmed with messages from dozens of people who were no help at all, and one particularly shady guy who insisted the cat was his (and accused me of kidnapping it) even though he lived 50 miles away. Never again.

I found a young Yorkshire pup in the road, covered with fleas. I picked it up took it home and gave it a bath and dried it off. Posted found dog on said street. I lived 5 miles where the pup was found, posted at the local post office. I left my number and was accused of stealing the dog. So I said ok then you can pick up the dog from the shelter. Sheriff office runs the shelter and you have to show proof. If I was going to be accused of stealing then you will need to pay & prove you are the owner and drive 20 mins away. They got the dog but unfortunately their child drowned a week later in a green pool and died

Yes unfortunately I went by there again to pick up my boys, their dad lived in the area. The house was a mess hence flea infested & nasty green pool. Trash in the yard. I felt bad for the kid & other kids. Not the mother she was a b****.

I used to listen to Howard’s show before he went to Sirius, but when he married Beth he told her he was not having any more kids so she started her cat rescue. While she has an Instagram account and is passionate about saving cats, he admitted they are her surrogate children.

He should’ve been dropping loads in her from day one. Like he couldn’t afford another kid. That would have prevented her from being the crazy cat lady.

That’s a contractor in the area who’s going to be dropping loads of dirt so if you need a healthy fertile load for your garden then ask him to stop by

Oh my god yes. This is such a universal thing! I am a pet sitter and when I was still on facebook I recognized cats I had taken care of before relocating further away. The woman watching them also ran a local catch/release for cats. I said “oh my god is that Superman?” And she scolded me stating she would never reveal a pets name for the owners privacy. Because people will obviously be able to locate the owners by searching for the pets name I guess? Intense is a very appropriate description.

Beth’s charity isn’t doing TNR, though. She fosters and adopts out cats. I’m sure it’s a lot of work. There’s likely a network of foster homes, and medical needs that need to be coordinated. TNR is hard work and I have a lot of respect for people doing this work, funding everything out of their pockets or meager donations (as you know).

Portland Oregon many scammers come out once you post an animal is missing. They call you and tell you they have pet at vet hit by car and to pay over the phone for life saving surgery to happen. Totally disgusting.

When I was about 12 (late 90s, Louisville) my family’s sheltie got loose. We posted ads in the paper and around town and one morning at breakfast, around 6:45, we got a call from a gentleman saying he’d found the dog. My mom is the one who picked up the phone. He seemed believable and after a few minutes, all of us beside ourselves with excitement, my mom asked the man if he could meet us at a McDonald’s in the neighborhood to exchange the dog for a reward. There was a beat and I watched my mother’s face drop and she said that no, she wouldn’t do that. The dude had said he wanted phone sex in exchange for the dog. We traced the call and it apparently came from a local prison. Apparently it’s how some of the inmates get their jollies.

Aw, that’s a shame, but thank you for clarifying. I follow Beth’s rescue efforts and truly appreciate what she does. It seems the plaintiff is trying to get the NDA voided so that she can disclose what working conditions she found hostile. Also from the article: > A woman named Leslie Kuhn is going after Howard and Beth in a New York court ... she says when she worked as Howard and Beth's executive assistant, they asked her to move into their 20,000-square-foot Southampton mansion, where she claims Beth put a lot on her plate. > Kuhn claims Beth tasked her with managing the mansion's staff ... including scheduling, completing payroll, and managing general household operations like Beth's at-home cat rescue and fostering operation. > The woman claims she was fired less than 2 years after moving in ... and she says her firing was a result of a "hostile work environment and enablement of that hostile work environment, immense pressures on the household created by irresponsible and untenable animal rescue and fostering operations occurring on-site, and massively disorganized and questionable business operations and accounting practices." > While Kuhn doesn't offer any further detail about the "untenable" animal rescue situation ... Beth and Howard make no secret about their passion for rescuing cats. Beth has said they had more than 900 cats in their home over a 5-year period ... not all at once.

Sounds like they're just not very organized.  Not illegal and not a hostile work environment under the law.

Except for the two years when she worked for Sirius as office manager.

Federal_Coyote813 Apr 6, 2026 +5
Then why didnt she name Sirius as party to the lawsuit?
5
YesMaybeYesWriteNow Apr 6, 2026 +1
Because she’s not suing Sirius. It’s about when she went to work directly for Howard and left Sirius. This is all in the article.
1
Federal_Coyote813 Apr 6, 2026 +1
No it isnt. SiriusXM isnt mentioned once in this article. Maybe you inferred that info from somewhere else. It also doesnt materially change what I said at all: the context of the lawsuit is to-do with her work in his residence/for his cat charity, not rhe show

The article is about an assistant who worked in their home, where Beth runs a large cat rescue. Thus, it's not about the radio show.

She worked at both Sirius and then as a live-in assistant. She is suing Sirius, Stern's production company and others.

Development-Feisty Apr 7, 2026 -2
So you’re saying that Howard Stern the radio disc jockey and terrible misogynistic celebrity personality did not live in that home?
-2
SuchDriver7770 Apr 7, 2026 +1
well I'm not sure what you're take is to be completely honest because you sound so f****** stupid but here are a couple responses to things you seem to be implying. "The show has been a hostile work environment for 45 years," is a response to an article about unrelated hostile work environment. This is a cross application based on an article related to the situation at home. Even if we granted your subjective take on Stern as a "terrible misogynistic celebrity" we would consider this correlative not causal. In other words we would not assume that actions that someone engages in as a personality suggest their workings at home. Similar to the commenter I was responding to, you engage in same sort of fallacious logic by suggesting that Stern's interactions were the issue. This is comical because you're responding to a comment about not having read the article but you also don't appear to have because the complaints are directly related to Beth's work in animal rescue. (The woman claims she was fired less than 2 years after moving in ... and she says her firing was a result of a "hostile work environment and enablement of that hostile work environment, immense pressures on the household created by irresponsible and untenable animal rescue and fostering operations occurring on-site, and massively disorganized and questionable business operations and accounting practices.")

The Howard Stern show is infamous for being kind of rude, innapropriate and vulgar. They would routinely make fun of each other, staff members, callers and celebrities. It’s definitely softened as he’s aged. It used to be pretty meansprited.

One person said “the show has been a hostile work enviornment for 45 years”. Another person said “what happened that it was a hostile work enviornment?” I am responding to and explaining that question. Make sense?

Workers are also bullied on air to not use guaranteed and lawful benefits, like maternity and paternity leave, paid family leave, sick time. EDIT: Maybe you are downvoting because you don’t understand your rights as workers? The show is subject to New York law, and every time Howard reprimanded someone like Richard and Shuli for taking time with a newborn, that was not cool. Pretty simple stuff.

ChumleyEX Apr 6, 2026 -5
I used to listen, but he treated everyone like shit and eventually I just couldn't anymore. The day that did it was when Ronny took a day off to be in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and Howard was just horrible to him.

Every environment in Hollywood is essentially a hostile work environment. It really needs to be addressed at a more systematic level- but I’m all for people getting their bag from the individuals responsible for their part in it.

Why didn’t she quit? Why stick around two years - maybe the job was not suited for her ability? There are many people in the area who have a skilled manager overseeing their homes and staff. It is a skill. Fostering is another issue. I’ve worked for awful bosses and I left as fast as I could find other employment

CuddlyResurgence Apr 6, 2026 +6
Loved Stern when he had Artie in the Jackie Chair. Since Covid, he’s become the fear-mongering curmudgeon he used to mock his parents about. He should have been cancelled after what he did to Scott Salem when his wife passed. F*** Stern and his crew.

Sad-Development-4153 Apr 6, 2026 +2
What did he do to Scott now?

CuddlyResurgence Apr 6, 2026 +1
Scott setup a fundraiser event for his wife’s cancer treatment and noted that he was “Scott The Engineer” from The Stern Show. Nothing more. Howard told him he couldn’t do that. When his wife passed, he just gave him a card. Zero support for a 20+ year crew member.
1
nakedpilsna Apr 6, 2026 +3
You dont know if Howard gave Scott money or not. Maybe Stern didnt want her death to become a big thing. He would regularly plug Scott's Sons Band, so hes not unsupportive toward Scott's family.

The woman who is suing is claiming that she worked in a hostile work environment because she was not allowed to discuss anything about her employer’s life- not even her diet, residences etc. It is not at all clear why she is suing because someone wants to protect their privacy. What am I missing here?
