""Please give the entire 15 to Hewitt," said the message to Epstein from Allen's phone. "As Woody said, that way they will definitely graduate Manzie." At the time, Manzie Allen, the adopted daughter of Allen and Previn, was a 16-year-old enrolled at the Hewitt School, an elite K-12 all-girls school just blocks from Jefrey Epstein's Upper East Side mansion of horrors."
"(Also at the time, Previn was frequently using her husband's phone and email to contact Epstein.) Hours after the text, Epstein's gift came through. "I just got home and found the contribution," said the message from Allen's phone. "You're the best. It made my day. I can't thank you enough. The schools never have enough money. This will help them with their expansion.""
In December 2016 Woody Allen and Jeffrey Epstein were coordinating recipients for a $15,000 donation. A message sent from Allen's phone requested that the entire $15,000 go to the Hewitt School so "they will definitely graduate Manzie." Manzie Allen, the adopted daughter of Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, was a 16-year-old student at Hewitt at the time and graduated in 2018. Hours after the text, Epstein's contribution was processed and a thank-you message from Allen's phone acknowledged the donation. The Hewitt School later confirmed receiving and then returning the funds. Epstein also lobbied Bard College's president to assist Manzie's older sister, Bechet, with admission.
