A photo from 2017 showing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani posing alongside actress Allison Williams has resurfaced, linking him to longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate Peggy Siegal at a high-profile luncheon. The image, taken on November 15, 2017, shows Mamdani smiling with Williams, as well as director Mira Nair and filmmaker Shimit Amin.
The photo surfaced in newly unsealed Justice Department records, which also reference Nair. The documents do not allege any wrongdoing by those mentioned but were released as part of a broader release of millions of pages detailing Epstein's social and professional network.
Siegal was once a powerful Hollywood publicist who later faced industry backlash over her ties to Epstein. She had been cut off by multiple studios, including Netflix, FX, and Annapurna Pictures, following reporting on her association with the convicted sex offender.
The 2017 luncheon photo shows Mamdani alongside Daniel Kaluuya, another celebrity guest at the event, which was hosted by Siegal. A second image from the same event highlights the prominent attendance of Jordan Peele's film, "Get Out," during Hollywood's awards season.
Another photo from December 2016 also features Nair attending a private-residence film event with Siegal for the movie "Queen of Katwe." The records include an email written by Siegal to Epstein in 2009 about an after-party for the film Amelia, which Nair had directed.
The correspondence documents attendance only and does not suggest any misconduct by those named. However, the revelation adds to the growing list of connections between Mamdani and individuals associated with Epstein.
