Dr. Helen Fisher was a renowned biological anthropologist and Senior Research Fellow at The Kinsey Institute who had social contact with Jeffrey Epstein in 2016, attending multiple lunches and dinners at his Manhattan townhouse with other intellectuals and public figures.
Helen Fisher appears in the documents primarily through personal correspondence and calendar entries from January 2016, showing she attended social gatherings at Epstein's Manhattan residence. Emails show Fisher coordinating lunch meetings with Epstein's assistant Lesley Groff, dining with Epstein alongside figures like Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and conductor Leon Botstein. One email from Fisher thanked Epstein for "another fascinating lunch at your house....and a few sneak peaks at some of your art." The documents also reference a presentation Fisher gave in October 2016, likely at an Epstein-affiliated event. While the frequency of contact appears limited to a concentrated period in early 2016, the tone of communications suggests a collegial relationship.
