Howard Stern and wife Beth make rare appearance after lawsuit drama

Howard Stern and his wife, Beth Stern, made a rare public appearance at “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Tuesday after their lawsuit drama with their former assistant.

The couple was seen leaving the late-night show’s set in Brooklyn, New York, where Kimmel is filming a special week of shows until Friday, in photos obtained by Page Six.

Howard, 72, wore an all-black outfit featuring a jacket, button-down shirt and jeans. He also rocked his staple sunglasses.

Meanwhile, Beth, 54, looked stunning in a yellow top, a long maroon skirt and matching heels.

As the pair exited the show, Stern stopped to greet fans and sign autographs.

Howard and Beth have been married since 2008. The radio host famously proposed to his wife again on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in October 2019, and the couple renewed their vows on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” a few days later.

During his solo interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday, Howard confirmed his “beautiful” wife was there with him.

“I don’t know how she puts up with me,” he quipped as Beth waved and blew a kiss at Stern from the audience.

Howard jokingly told Kimmel, 58, that Beth “was happy to get out of the house away from me,” before revealing his plans for their 18th wedding anniversary.

“I’m sending flowers. We’re gonna have romance,” he said before joking, “I will make love to my wife. It will take all of five minutes, honey. Don’t worry. It will be over very fast.”

In a more serious tone, Howard confirmed the couple “will celebrate our love” for their anniversary.

As Page Six previously reported, Howard and Beth were sued by their former executive assistant Leslie Kuhn, who accused them of creating a hostile work environment, in April.

Kuhn detailed the “immense pressure” of managing Howard and Beth’s Hamptons home — as well as helping the latter run “extensive at-home feline rescue and fostering operations” — in court documents obtained by Page Six.

She also claimed Howard’s production company, One Twelve, presented her with a nondisclosure agreement she denies ever signing. Kuhn claimed that both the reasons she was fired and the NDA were “manufactured by the Defendants in general and Beth Stern in particular.”

Howard called the lawsuit a “shakedown” and “transparent sham” in court documents obtained by Page Six in April.

His lawyer, Ilene Farkas, told us that Howard is “not going to play this out in public.”

By July, Howard and Beth scored a legal victory when a judge ruled against Kuhn’s allegations that the radio host’s production company had forged NDAs with her name.

Howard was made headlines over the summer when he laid off about a dozen staffers from his SiriusXM show and dropped Channel 101, handing it over to Andy Cohen’s “Radio Andy.”

On the Sept. 14 premiere of “The Howard Stern Show,” the host joked that he’s “never had a summer where I was treated so well in the press.”

“I can’t tell you how many different people have called me a scumbag,” he added.
