Jeffrey Epstein’s Girlfriend Turned “Madame” - Supplying Girls To International Elite
Badabing, badaboom. It's night time and Sarah can't see. clearly. There's just not a lot of. light, but she does know that she's. standing on the edge of a cliff. Below. her are these jagged rocks with sea. urchins just roaming about. The waves. are crashing in. I mean, even if she. jumps, she could land on a rock. She. could injure herself. But if she doesn't. injure herself, let's say she jumps and. she's fine, then what? Is she really. going to swim 2 miles to St. Thomas. Island? Is it even in the right.
direction? What if the waves just push. her back to the jagged rocks? But even then, knowing all of this, knowing what's waiting for her below, seems better than what's waiting for her. behind. Behind Sarah is profile Island, where she would later state she has been. held and essayed sometimes up to three. times in a single day. Sarah is. hesitating. She's running through all of. the options. A straight jump would. probably kill her, but maybe she could. slowly climb down the rocks. Just get a. bit closer and closer to the water and.
then inch her way in. She starts bending down and she hears. these golf carts coming up behind her. She's got to move faster, but then. there's another and another and then the. lights illuminate the entire space and. these two girls, two very young girls, a. bodyguard, a model scout and a. middle-aged woman walk straight up to. Sarah. Sarah starts panicking, but this. middle-aged woman gently walks closer to. her, to the cliff, like a little cat. "It's okay, honey. Come with us.".
Sarah looks back. I mean, she's still. thinking, "I could still jump. I mean, it's going to kill me, but I could still. jump.". But she's got no choice. She takes the. woman's hand and walks back with them. Back to the island where there are. bungalows filled with girls in. Victoria's Secret Lingerie and food that. she's not even allowed to touch. She has. no choice but to go back to the island. formerly known as Little St. James, but. to her and hundreds of other girls, it's. known as.
Island or Island or just hell. We would like to thank today's sponsors. who have made it possible for Rotten. Mango to support RAINN, the nation's. largest anti-sexual violence.
organization. They created and operated. the National SA Hotline and all. resources will be linked in the show. notes as well as the description. This. episode's partnerships have also made it. possible to support Rotten Mango's. growing team of dedicated researchers. and translators and we would also like. to thank you guys for your continued. support as we work on our mission to be. worthy advocates of these causes. As. always, full show notes are available at. rottenmangopodcast.com, but there is a beautifully. heartbreaking, I mean, gut-wrenching.
book on this case called Silence No More. and it's written by Sarah Ransome. She. is a victim of Epstein and Maxwell and. just her sheer tenacity to keep fighting. for justice is beyond admirable. I would. highly recommend checking the book out. Virginia Giuffre is another victim that. was pivotal in Epstein's second arrest. Both of them have countless interviews. as well as articles where they have. shared their stories through their own. words. Many of the other victims have as. well and I would highly recommend going. to listen to those first. Some victims'. names, identifying information and. dialogue have all been changed for.
privacy. Due to all the ongoing lawsuits. for legal and professional reasons, we. will be using the word allegedly even if. authorities or the general public. believe it is a fact. However, our. intention is not to cast out on victims'. testimonies. Any and all theories. mentioned are netizens' speculation only. and with that being said, I want to make. it very clear that all of the details in. today's episodes can be easily found. online. We are not investigative. journalists and if you ever feel in any. episode that something was. miscommunicated, misrepresented or have. any additional information that you.
would like us to know, please let us. know down in the comments. With that. being said, the very last episode that. we've uploaded was part one of Jeffrey. Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes. I would recommend checking that out. before diving into this one. We went. through Jeffrey Epstein's death very. briefly, his childhood, his life, how he. made his money, a lot of the crimes that. he committed, some of the relationships. that he had and now this episode is. going to focus more on Ghislaine Maxwell. because she's got a very important part. to play in all of this. We didn't talk. about her at all. Not much at all, but.
she's been there the whole time. So with. that being said, let's get started. Headington Hill Hall, I mean, it seems. straight out of Bridgerton. It is this. English-style castle-like estate in. England with 51 rooms, a tennis court, swimming pool, of course, 24/7 guards. posted at the main entrance, fences with. barbed wire on the outer layers of the. property. There's video cameras drilled. into tree trunks and the lawn doubles as. a helipad. I mean, the house is so. massive there's a full-scale parking lot.
in front, multiple gardens. Like, you. know, the tiered gardens, the. multi-level gardens. I mean, this house. is full of history. It was built in 1824. and it's said that Oscar Wilde, the. author known for The Picture of Dorian. Gray, had attended parties there. But. now, the 50-room castle was owned by a. single family, the Maxwells. The. Maxwells of Pergamon Press, one of the. largest publishing houses in the UK at. the time. Now, Robert Maxwell, the. patriarch of the family, would later go.
on to own the Daily Mirror, which is one. of the biggest publications in the UK. with kind of a CD reputation. They're. They're considered more of a tabloid. newspaper, but massive nonetheless. And. Robert Maxwell was worth $1.9 billion. The Maxwells are not just rich, they're. filthy rich. She was born rich. She was born with a diamond spoon in her. mouth. During Christmas, there's usually. this beautifully lit up three-story-tall. tree inside the mansion. I mean, this is.
extravagant. It's opulent. If any of the. Maxwell kids, Robert Maxwell had nine of. them, if any of them wanted to know when. daddy's coming home, all they would do. was wait for the. noise of the helicopter. And he would land on the front lawn and. they would run outside. And most Sundays, Robert Maxwell would. host Sunday brunch for all the industry. leaders in the media world that he felt. like he wanted to spend more time with. and he would invite them over to his. house for brunch. Now, technically, this.
invitation is optional. I mean, you can. turn it down if you want. Of course, you. can. There's such a thing as free will, but it's Robert Maxwell, billionaire, controller of the media. I would hardly. call it a choice. Perhaps you turned. down a Sunday brunch because you made. other plans. The next day, your front. page on Daily Mirror with an article. about how your company is going down. south or allegations about how you're a. horrible person to work for. So every. single Sunday, the men in suits, they. would find themselves driving up this. long, windy road past the lush trees.
through the giant property until they. finally get up to Headington Hill Hall. You know what they called him, right? They called him a brazen, impatient, rude, insufferable, intolerant scoundrel. with a monstrous ego. That's what they. called him in the press the other day. You know what Robert responded back? What? He said, "I plead guilty to all of. it." Oh jeez, his poor wife, Betty, she's like a poor dormouse. She's so. quiet, so shy. I mean, at a recent party. he threw at the mansion, Robert, in. front of his wife, was hitting on.
another married woman and when that. married woman said, "Oh, no thank you, I'm not interested." You know what he. did? I heard he turned around straight. to that married woman's young daughter, maybe 20 years old, and hit on her in. front of everyone. The Maxwell family. was known to be a bit strange. Robert. Maxwell would attend galas and work. functions with this beautiful young. woman on his arm and if you didn't know, you might think that's his wife. Billionaire marries young, beautiful. woman. It makes sense. She was always. dressed in the most expensive gowns and. I mean, he would stare at her lovingly.
and show her off to everyone in the. room. "Isn't she just beautiful?". It was his 22-year-old daughter, Ghislaine Maxwell. So when all the business executives walk. into the estate for Sunday brunch, they. are led to the formal dining room and. they find Robert seated at the head of. the table. He looks up to greet them. They smile. They look down near his legs. and there is his daughter, 22-year-old. Ghislaine Maxwell, kneeling at her. father's feet under the table.
Doing what? Just tears streaming down. her face, eyes red, snot, everything. Robert Maxwell was completely ignoring. her. "Take a seat, everyone." Everyone at. that lunch that day had to eat and talk. to each other about business, make jokes. with Robert Maxwell, "How's the printing. business?" All the while acting like. Ghislaine Maxwell, the billionaire's. daughter, was not at his knees under the. table sobbing. It was bizarre. But there would just always be two men.
who Ghislaine's whole life revolved. around. She did everything to please. them, to make them happy, to feel loved. by them. The first being her billionaire. father, who would be found dead in the. water near his superyacht with. suspicions on whether or not he was. murdered. Then, her billionaire. boyfriend, who would be found dead in a. prison cell with suspicions on whether. or not he was murdered. Her father was. the disgraced Robert Maxwell of Pergamon. Press and her boyfriend, the disgraced. Jeffrey Epstein of Island. Maria was.
running down the hall of the massive New. York City townhouse. Some people said. this place felt haunted. I mean, the. color palettes were always mainly. burgundy and deep, rich, dark colors, which is beautiful. I'm sure it all cost. a fortune, but it has this suffocatingly. grim, atmospheric undertone to it all. There was a taxidermy tiger in the. office, a giant stuffed giraffe. There. was a life-sized female doll hanging. from a chandelier in one room. And in. the master bathroom, there were just.
boobs hung up on the wall. Not. paintings, not drawings, or even. pictures. Fake breasts mounted on the. wall, like suction cup to the wall, so. the owner of the mansion could take a. bath and play with the breasts on the. wall. But frame it as artwork type of. thing? I don't even think they were. framed. Oh. It was like a villain in a cartoon. movie was given a billion dollars. This. is the type of house that they would. build. But some rooms in the 40-plus. room estate were genuinely beautiful. Some of the ceilings had elaborate. murals painted on them. I mean, one was.
like the sky and the clouds with angels. And you look up and you feel like you're. staring at the clouds. I mean, regardless of how beautiful these rooms. were, there was just always this creepy. energy about the place. And even more so. now. Maria ran to her room at the end of the. hallway, and she slammed the door shut, and she looked around panicked. She. moved this giant piece of furniture up. against the door to block them from. coming into her room. She would stay. there until she thought it was safe to. escape. The night before, the wife, the. lady of the house as they call her, came.
to Maria in a bathrobe and asked her to. follow her to the husband's room. The. room that Maria's like never allowed to. go into. Maria worked for them. She's. not a guest, she's not a friend, she's. not a colleague, she's a young employee. in her 20s. The woman opened the door, and there was this middle-aged man just. laying in his bed. I mean, the whole. energy felt obviously unprofessional, but Maria felt like she had to go with. it. The lady tells her, "Rub his feet.". What? Maria was disgusted. She didn't want to. rub his feet. That's not what she was.
hired to do. I mean, what other option. did she have? Get fired? So, she sits. down, removes the blanket from his feet, and starts rubbing it. She's trying not. to be good at it so that she can leave. ASAP. But the man asks her to sit in bed. with them in between him and his wife, partner, whoever she was. Maria felt like she can't say no. So, she gets into the bed, into the. middle, and they proceed to assault her. together. Maria stated the wife was. wiping her tears and rubbing on her.
Eventually, Maria found the chance and. the opportunity to get up, run out of. the room, run down the hallway back to. her room. Maria pushed up a giant piece. of furniture to the door so that they. couldn't come in, and she did not sleep. at all that night. The next morning, she's trying to wait for them to leave. for the day or leave for work so that. she can run through this massive 30,000. square foot mansion to find a way out, and she's listening. And then her phone rings. She puts it up. to her ear. "Hello?" It was the wife. "What do you want?" "Nothing. I don't.
want anything. I'm going to the police.". Maria called the FBI. She told them. everything. She told them how she was. hired to work at Jeffrey Epstein's. mansion in New York City, where she was. assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein and his. wife, partner, she doesn't know, but her. name is Ghislaine Maxwell. She told them. everything that she knew, everything. that had been weird since she got to New. York City. She met the couple in Palm. Beach. She thought they were married. couple, and they just were patrons of. the arts. That's what they told her. Maria is an artist. She was excited when. Jeffrey offered her a job in New York.
City to live in his townhome full-time. in the city of art and help him purchase. art. But when she gets there, that's not her. role. Her role is to work the door. Every day, Maria would just sit by this. big 15-foot tall oak door of the New. York mansion, one of the largest private. residences in the city, just like a few. blocks from Central Park, and she would. sit by the door with this white. notebook, and her role was to log. everyone that came in and out of the. house. Really? Everyone had to sign in when. they visited, even if they were just.
delivering something. I mean, it was. mind-numbing, tedious work that wasn't. her job description, but it also meant. Maria saw everyone who came and went. She immediately noticed a lot of young. teen girls in school uniforms coming. into the house. The first time it. happened, she probably thought, "Maybe. it's a relative or something." But the. second, third, fourth time, Maria's. getting confused. She's getting alarmed. It's not like they have a high school. kid that's inviting friends over. What. business would this older couple have. bringing high schoolers into their. mansion? Maria gently brought it up to.
Ghislaine, the lady of the house, and. she just told her, "They're here to. audition for Victoria's Secret. You. know, Jeffrey is very close friends with. Leslie Wexner, the CEO of Limited. Brands, so they're the ones that own. Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works. So, I go and I scout for models at. Central Park. They come in for an. audition, and if they're lucky, they'll. be models.". From then on, Ghislaine would scout in. front of Maria. It was just odd. Sometimes they'd be in the car, and. Ghislaine would be like, "Stop the car.". The driver would park in the middle of. Central Park or near private schools.
Ghislaine would just hop out, run over. to a high school girl in her uniform, give her her number, and then run back. to the car. That's insane. Just in the middle of New. York. Yes. Wow. And it was ballsy. They would target. private schools, where these are pretty. privileged kids, too. Maria would later. see these same girls at the house, and. the whole thing, I mean, I guess it made. sense, right? But then Maria started. seeing some red flags. She couldn't. shake the feeling that they're not.
auditioning for Victoria's Secret. Like, the whole thing is weird. Side note, Maria herself is really young, so she. doesn't know how these things work, but. Maria's thinking, "First of all, the. parents aren't coming with them, which. is weird. Like, if you're getting. scouted to be a model for some sort of. career, your parents would likely come. Second of all, some of the girls have. braces." Maria's like, "I don't remember. the last time I saw a model with. braces.". And third, the girls were auditioning. for Victoria's Secret, so Ghislaine. said. And they're way too young to even. have any breasts, really. Most of them. didn't even have any breasts. So, she's.
like, "This is just kind of weird.". Maria's sitting at the stool in the. front when one of the young school girls. comes running down the stairs crying, screaming, and just she just rushes out. Maria turns around, and Ghislaine is. standing there. "Oh, no, like, what happened? What's. wrong?" "She didn't get the job, that's. what's wrong. Some girls are not cut out. for modeling.". Maria starts feeling really sick in that. house. I mean, the way that Ghislaine. talked about the girls like they were. auditioning to be models and the way the. couple treated the house staff. I mean, all the house staff were treated like.
useless peasants. Anyone that was deemed. beneath the couple were subhuman. It was. shocking. Sometimes Ghislaine would even. call somebody a nobody to their face. At the entrance of this massive. townhome, they actually have what they. call the living chessboard. It's a chessboard with figurines, and. each one is a staff member. modeled after the staff member and. custom-made. They're all just chess. pieces. So, imagine you're the. housekeeper of this house. You come and. you're cleaning the chessboard, and.
you're like, "Why does this chess piece. look exactly like me? Why does this look. like the maintenance man? Why does this. look like the assistant?". They made like a custom chess actual but. looks like. The staff members, yeah. Of the house. weird. It's so bizarre. And they're just. like moving them around like a little. chess. But only the workers, not. themselves. No, they're just pawns, and they're gods. of the masters of the universe. Oh, that's so sick and twisted. Yeah. But also, the psychology of coming. to work and you're on a chessboard. One.
day, Ghislaine walked over to Maria at. the front, and she pointed. "Look at. that pinhole right next to you.". Maria looks. I mean, it looked odd. Was. it reflective or something? It It looked. like there was a hidden camera or. something there. So, Maria later asked. Jeffrey about it, and he took her into a. room where the entire desk was lined. with screens and CCTV footage of secret. cameras throughout the property, which. is to be expected. This is a massive. mansion with artwork that costs millions. of dollars. The painting alone behind. Jeffrey Epstein's desk, which side note,
we went through this whole desk thing in. the first episode, okay? But uh it's 20. feet long. This is like a dining table. of a desk. It's the most massive desk. people have ever seen in their lives. But behind it is a painting of a woman. in a red dress, and she's pulling down. one part of her dress to just expose one. breast, and she's cupping it. That. painting alone is $6 million. So, having. a lot of security precautions is not the. alarming part, it's to be expected. The. alarming part is that Maria is inching. closer to the screens, and she sees that.
most of the CCTV footage. is inside the house, inside the bedrooms, and even the. restrooms, where you would expect full. privacy. There were hidden cameras. If. you were anywhere in this house, Jeffrey. Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were. watching you. And the FBI did nothing about it. They. took her call, and they said, "Okay, thanks." And hung up. Is it because it's just private. residence, they can do whatever they. want? No. Maria was SA'd. She was.
assaulted by them. Oh. They're basically saying it's your word. against a billionaire's. Oh. There's a. saying in New York, the only sin in New. York City is not having money. And Ghislaine Maxwell was a sinner. So, she invited a few acquaintances over to. her New York City place to repent. Now, I'm not sure if they all knew what they. were there for, for a tea party. I mean, they show up to the address on time. It's this giant brownstone on the Upper. East Side, and they knock on the door,
and a staff member of the Maxwell New. York City property ushers them in. So, this is not Jeffrey Epstein's house. This is Ghislaine Maxwell's New York. City townhouse. Mhm. "Right this way. Madam will be with you shortly.". They're like, "Madam?" They step into. the foyer, and absolutely nothing in. this house is subtle. I mean, everything. is in your face, but it's not tacky. It's not It's like eclectic. It's rich. It's in your face, but it's just. interesting. I mean, rich people are so. weird. Take it whatever way you want,
but it's not beige. The whole place is. royal blue, red, and black. There's. ornamental china everywhere. There's. samurai suits on the wall. It's just. fascinating. They get ushered up to the living room, where they find Ghislaine surrounded by. her father's photos, family photos, business awards that her dad received, and she's just weeping on the floor. No. introductions, no hellos, no. pleasantries. Ghislaine just starts. allegedly screaming at them, "I'm broke! I'm broke! I'm broke!". She was wearing nothing but her.
undergarments dripped in expensive. jewels, like diamonds all over her neck, wrists, fingers, weighed down by. diamonds, pearls. She had a full face of. makeup on. She went from screaming to quietly, but. still dramatically complaining to. everyone. And side note, people said. that her voice was always like a low. purr. "I'm broke, do you hear me? I'm broke.". The guests look at her. I mean, this is. so over the top. They're in a very.
clearly expensive brownstone. I mean, if. you're really broke, you could probably. sell that samurai armor suit downstairs. They're staring at all the diamonds just. dripping from her neck and wrist. It. was, even by high society standards, very out of touch. It was so abnormal. What's going on? Yeah, why is she not. wearing clothes? She's having a moment. But she had all the jewelries on. Exactly. It's like. a choice she made? It seems like it. Okay. Seems like she wanted to be in some sort. of soap opera. But everyone there, they. they tried to be sympathetic. Ghislaine.
Maxwell was a sinner. She had no money. anymore, because Robert Maxwell, her. beloved father, was dead. Robert Maxwell was found naked dead. floating in the ocean near his $15. million super yacht named the Lady. Ghislaine. After his favorite kid. Really? Ghislaine was daddy's little girl, his. little mascot. So, it's very. understandable that she was very. distraught over his death. But even this. was just a bit much. But wouldn't he. just leave everything to her? Oh, we're. going to get into it. Even when Robert.
Maxwell was still alive, Ghislaine was. incredibly proud to be his daughter, but. in kind of an alarming way. She once. pulled aside a family friend of theirs, and I guess they're slightly disagreeing. on something, and she turned on him and. she said, "Don't forget, I'm daddy's. girl.". And he was like, "What?" "Okay.". Then she would turn around to her dad, and suddenly she'd be very quiet and. timid and snuggle up on him, sit on his. knee. She worked her dad. I mean, she. knew what he wanted from her, and she.
became this blank canvas for him. But. now, now he's dead, and nobody knew why. I mean, they did and they didn't. Three. pathologists disagreed on the exact. cause of death. There are theories. circulating that he had a heart attack. and fell into the water and then died by. accidental drowning. One person close to. Robert Maxwell argued that Robert always. woke up in the middle of the night butt. naked. He would walk over in the dark to. the edge of his yacht to pee off the. side. They speculated that he probably. fell and drowned. Side note, Robert.
Maxwell had a thing for urinating off of. the sides of things. Allegedly, he. urinated off the top of the Mirror Group. paper headquarters, just like the roof. So, a stream of pee was shooting down. I digress, but yeah. Others thought. This is so out of this world, bro. You think that's out of this world? Robert Maxwell had known links to the. British Secret Intelligence Service, as. well as the Soviet KGB, as well as. Israeli Intelligence. He was a secret. spy for like all three of them. The. speculation was that he might have known.
something that he shouldn't have, or. maybe he got cocky, and he thought that. with his billions of dollars, it would. protect him from some of the most. powerful entities in the world, and he. started asking for things. Or maybe he. was trying to get more for his end of. the deal, whatever deal he had with. them. I mean, obviously, this is purely. speculation, but people argued, knowing. Robert Maxwell's personality, where he's. constantly described as a bombastic, egomaniacal bully, nobody thought he. would have gone quietly,
nor would he have self-exited. So, there's a lot of theories. circulating that he was murdered, and. some people just believe that, no, he. self-exited on the Lady Ghislaine near. the Canary Islands. Because a few weeks. after Robert's death, Maxwell's empire. caught fire and burned to the ground. Authorities discovered a half billion. dollar hole in the pension funds of the. company. He had taken from his. employees' pension so that he could stay. afloat. When Robert Maxwell died, his net worth. was negative $1 billion. Oh my god. It's.
speculated that he realized this, and. there was no more that he could do. They. were going to go under, the boat was. sinking, so it's either go to jail, live. in disgrace, or exit off the Lady. Ghislaine. So, the speculation is he chose to exit. That's what some people speculate. Ghislaine doesn't believe that he would. have self-exited. But none of that. mattered. The Maxwell family name was. wrecked, and she could either stay in. London where everybody hates her guts. and try to rebuild it from the bottom. up, or she could move to a whole new. city and see if she could reinvent.
herself. That's exactly what she did. Ghislaine Maxwell came to New York City, got a place on the Upper East Side, and. the obvious answer for someone like. Ghislaine is to either, A, get a job. I. mean, you've got a degree from Oxford, one of the top five universities in the. world. Or, B, do what a lot of other. high society people do, get a husband. So, she technically still has some. money, but not a lot. Yeah, she doesn't have billions, but. she's not broke. Yeah, yeah, she has diamonds and mansion. and. She's She's got probably, I'm.
speculating, tens of millions. Damn. But. not billions. Now, the people in. attendance at this very bizarre broke. tea party, they thought, "She's going to. be fine. She's going to be fine." First. of all, she's not broke. Second of all, she's just going to find another man to. finance her life, and that's okay. Because Ghislaine was always the type of. girl that guys liked. Ghislaine went through a big dinner. party at her house, and usually guys are. notorious for complaining about going to. these dinner parties. They don't find it. fascinating, they don't find it.
exciting. It's just another dinner with. more people that you have to make small. talk with. It's just not that fun. But the guys, they loved Ghislaine's. parties. One of the attendees stated Ghislaine. was a masterful hostess. I mean, it was. like her life's calling. She knew how to. cater to everybody's needs, but not in. like this overly nice, I'm trying to. please you or impress you way. It was. almost just a level of class that exuded. out of her. Just sophistication, very. graceful. The tables were always. beautifully arranged. The food was.
prepared by chefs, and it was absolutely. delicious. And then after dinner, Ghislaine disappeared. Eventually, she. comes back to the dinner table holding a. big stack of silk scarves. "Everyone. come, come. We're going to play a game.". She starts passing out the scarves only. to men. "Blindfold yourselves. The. objective of the game is all the men. will have their eyes covered, and the. women will take off all of our tops and. bras, and we will walk around letting. the guys guess who is who based on how. the breasts feel. Based on weight, cup. size, they can guess.".
You're kidding me. Yeah, most of the. guys were like, "Now, that's how you. throw a dinner party." They really liked. Ghislaine. They thought, "What a cool. girl." But the girls, they feel so. uncomfortable and in a way betrayed. Like, what woman in their right mind. would pressure all these other women. into a game like this? Yeah, yeah. And. are they couples or is everyone single? some couple, some single. People said. Ghislaine was more like a man than a. woman, and that's why men liked her. She. was sharp, witty, a night owl. Not. saying that that's like male-specific,
okay? But that's what people were saying. about her. And she only wore the most. expensive clothes. Like, broke or not, she only wore the most expensive. clothes. And she just had these very. interesting ways of flirting. I don't. know if you can call it flirting. Allegedly, one time at a wedding, Ghislaine was flirting with a married. man, not the groom, but a guest, married. nonetheless. And she's caressing his. arm, laughing at his jokes. And his wife. comes up behind him like, "Who the hell. is this lady trying to rub up on my. husband?" The husband turns to introduce. his wife to Ghislaine, but Ghislaine.
looks her up and down. and what is this? Ghislaine loops her arm around the. husband's arm and walks him off into the. crowd. At another party, Ghislaine walked up to. a writer. I believe this is the first. time they're meeting. This writer is. married. They're 3 minutes into a. random, bland pleasant conversation, small talk. The writer's wife is like 5. ft away. Ghislaine looks him in the eye. mid-conversation, interrupts him, "If.
you lose 10 lb, I'll you.". Another guy dropped her off at her. townhouse, and when she got out of the. car, she leaned down through the window. and said, "If you come in and me, I'll tell you the secrets of my father.". It was, um, aggressive. It's like the concept of. whatever I want, I get. It was just. embedded into her DNA. It appears like. she could not process any other outcome. for her life. Other times, it wasn't as. straightforward. She would allegedly. meet a man at a high society party, lift.
her eyes up at them, and a lot of them. described her way of looking at people. as utterly compelling. She was very. charismatic, very magnetic, almost in a. cruel way. Like, you know that she's. mean, but for some reason, you want her. to like you. The moment she looked at you, you would. engage in 2 seconds of small talk with. Ghislaine, because this is your first. time meeting, right? And you'd say. things like, "Well, I work in finance, and the main objec- Will you take me out. to dinner?" She would just say it so. casually. Like, "Oh, I like your pants.".
Kind of like that. And it worked most of. the time. I mean, it didn't hurt that. Ghislaine is beautiful. She's really. electric. You wanted to be around her, because it almost made you feel good. Like, this is a really cool person, and. if they enjoy spending time with me, that must mean I'm cool. That's how Ghislaine made you feel. So, one of the guys ends up taking her. to dinner, to this nice little. restaurant. And for the first half of. dinner, I mean, everything's going well. She's a great conversationalist. I mean, nothing ever felt boring with her. And. then halfway through the dinner, the. conversation of her dad comes up, very.
subtly. It's not like he's like, "Who's. your dad? Tell me about your dad. Did he. die? What happened?" It just seemed. casual. It would have been one remark, and that's it. But it wasn't. She did. not talk about anything else the whole. dinner. I mean, once that conversation. about her dad came up, all she talked. about was how great her dad was, how. incredible it was to be a part of his. family, and how great he did for his. businesses, how she would open up the. daily newspaper and there would be an. article about him because he was that. prominent of a figure. By the end of the dinner, she had been. so loud and people were so interested in.
the story of her billionaire father, the. entire restaurant was quiet and. listening in, and it was just it was so. odd. The man said, you know, on one. hand, Ghislaine is so confident and. magnetic and she's so straightforward, she's constantly hitting on guys and. making the first move. But on the other. hand, you could tell that she's severely. insecure. It felt like she's got a lot. going on inside. And like a nice. gentleman, he probably thought, maybe. it's best to let her work through these. things on her own before she starts. dating people. But to some guys, they.
are drawn to that insecurity. They can. smell it from a mile away, like blood in. the water. And Jeffrey Epstein was one of those. guys. One day, Christina gets a call. from Ghislaine. Christina's an author. and kind of an acquaintance of. Ghislaine. I mean, I would hardly call. them friends. They're cordial, they know. of each other, they run in the same. circles, but that's about it. Christina. gets this call out of the blue, you need. to come over right now. Christina rushes. to meet up with Ghislaine at her. apartment, and the minute that she walks.
into the door, it's like she's getting. pitched. Ghislaine is confident, her. voice is strong. You're going to make a. lot of money, Christina. You are going. to meet everyone. Your life is about to. change. I'm sorry, what's going on? Live with me for a year. Move in so you. can learn everything about me. And. you're going to help me write a book. I'm sorry, what? A book isn't entirely a bad idea. I. mean, Ghislaine does have a lot of. high-profile friends. Her dad was. mysteriously dead billionaire Robert.
Maxwell. She was also super close with. members of the British royal family. while she was studying at Oxford. She. befriended Prince Andrew. She bragged. about how she made Princess Diana cry. Yeah, just another reason to hate. Ghislaine. She went to the Clintons'. daughter's wedding. I mean, she was. connected to all the people who ruled. the world. But it's still such an odd. random request. Like, they don't even. know each other. Live with her for a. year? Like, drop everything in. Christina's life and live with Ghislaine. for a year? Do people even care that. much about her at this point? Christina. is not convinced and I think Ghislaine.
could see that. So, she switches her. tone and she stands in front of her big. window overlooking the city and she. says, you have to write this book for me. because I want Jeffrey to marry me. I. need him to see me in a more elevated. light with a book written about me. He'll do it. He'll marry me if there's a. book on me. Okay, Christina's like, now. it's clicking. Christina now understands. why she was called out of the blue. Everyone who even knew of Ghislaine in. New York City, everyone in these circles. knew that she was absolutely infatuated.
with Jeffrey Epstein. The author that. Ghislaine invited, she knew this. Just a. few months ago, there was an incident. that she thought was kind of strange. Whether it was genuine curiosity or just. like a small talk sake, the author asked. Ghislaine, "My goodness, Ghislaine, how. are you keeping yourself so thin?". Ghislaine looked at her and very. confidently, like this is not a raging. red flag, said, "Jeffrey likes his girls. thin.". Well, still, how do you do it? Well, did. you ever see anyone in a concentration. camp with any weight on them?
No, because they didn't eat. So, I call. it the Nazi diet. I just don't eat. Side note, both Ghislaine and Jeffrey. Epstein were Jewish. So, that is a. really bizarre. She just says, "I just. don't eat. The reason that Jeffrey keeps. me around to begin with is that I don't. make mistakes." It was such an odd. conversation. What does that even mean? Are they dating? If so, what kind of. mistakes are you talking about? I mean, it seemed like they were less of a. couple and more like a team. The author remembers going to parties. thrown by Ghislaine at Jeffrey Epstein's.
massive townhouse in Manhattan, one of, like I said, the largest private. residences. She would show up and Bill. Clinton would just be there. Woah. Or sometimes Prince Andrew would. just be in attendance, you know? And it. seemed like a two-person team. Ghislaine. would be connected to all these powerful. people through the Maxwell name. She. would bring them to Jeffrey, into his. den, literally and figuratively, and he. would do business with them. So, Ghislaine was more old money in that. sense. Mhm. But not really. Okay, so. it's complicated. The Maxwell family.
were actually ridiculed often in the UK. for being nouveau riche, like new money. rich, just obnoxious. They're not. aristocrats, they're not royalty, they're not classy, but they're still. connected with a lot of people with. titles. So, compared to Jeffrey Epstein, who's just this vulgar finance dude on. Wall Street, I mean, she's got. connections. At the stage that when they. met, what stage of career is Jeffrey. Epstein? Like, he's already made it at. that point? Oh. kind of on his way. Like, I would say he. has made it, but probably not to the.
status he will be through Ghislaine. Ah, so Ghislaine's genuinely just attracted. by this person rather than his status. Oh, no, he has money. No status, but he's got money. So, she. likes the fact that he's rich and she. just genuinely really attracted to him. Yeah. So, he he still has that New York. City apartment by the time that. Ghislaine is inviting all these people. over. The biggest private residence in New. York City. very, very wealthy already. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I I don't think. that he was at his peak in terms of.
finances when they first met. Okay. I. think through Ghislaine, he ends up. making a lot more money. Now, Epstein. was really not a likable person, even in. Ghislaine's circles. I mean, to give you. context, Epstein had some powerful. friends. So, if you remember from part. one, he was friends with like Leslie. Wexner, the billionaire behind Limited. Brands that owns Victoria's Secret. But. Epstein's circle is still, like I said, limited to this finance world. And even. there, Epstein was just a bit too much. Like, either you hate him for being so. vulgar and bizarre, or you like him.
because you convince yourself, "Wow, this rich guy doesn't take himself too. seriously.". Ghislaine, she's a Maxwell. She went to. Oxford University. She's very close. friends with Prince Andrew. I mean, he. threw her a birthday party in England. once. She's close friends with the. Clintons, it's just a different league. Side note, allegedly, whenever Jeffrey. Epstein and Prince Andrew went out to. party together, people said it was the. most boring party in the world because. it seemed like they had, allegedly, this. competition was who could look the most.
disinterested and bored. What? Yeah, so the two of them, they would. just be sulking in their corner. They. looked like they were too intellectual, too high-class to be entertained by. anything. Another source that was at one of these. dinner parties said Prince Andrew. thought it was absolutely hilarious that. people were so fascinated by Kate. Middleton's wedding. So, this was like. right before they were going to get. married and he thought it was so he was. in hoots because everybody was like, "What is she going to wear? Oh my gosh, who's coming? Who's invited?" And he.
just thought, "Look at these peasants.". What? This is so funny. Ghislaine's. friends thought Jeffrey Epstein was. weird. I mean, firstly, his New York. City apartment was strange, strange. design, but also at these dinner. parties, if they were mid-conversation. and Jeffrey Epstein found himself. getting bored, he would just interrupt. everybody and scream, "And what does. that have to do with pussy?". That was his favorite saying. Ghislaine would be the only one. sincerely laughing. Everyone would just. be glancing at each other and awkwardly.
chuckling because what the hell is that? It's so crazy these two found each. other. Yeah. They're so weird in their own way. already. I I can see right I already can. see how this is going to like go. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Ghislaine's friends would ask her, "Wait, so what does he do for work?". "Oh, he's the money manager, but he only. takes on clients with at least a billion. dollars to manage.". So now, Christina, back in the. apartment, is no longer interested in. writing Ghislaine's book. She's not. going to waste a year of her life.
writing a book for Ghislaine just so. Ghislaine could get proposed to. Like, what kind of deal is that? But Ghislaine. keeps begging. "Jeffrey has been. medically diagnosed by the best doctors. in the world. He needs three orgasms a. day. Sometimes he has an orgasm that. lasts 24 hours.". No way. Christina's like, "Excuse me?". And what does that have to do with this? Exactly. Christina felt like, "Am I on. drugs? Is she on drugs?" And like, "What. chapter of a book would that even go. into?".
The opener. The author's note. I mean, Ghislaine's. like, "I cannot keep up with his needs, so I drive around, I look for girls that. are his type, then I offer them a deal. Do you want to give a rich man a massage. for a few hundred bucks?". Christina is like, "What are you talking. about?" "What I do in Palm Beach is I. get in my car, I drive to the trailer. parks. I look for Jeffrey's type, and. when I see what I'm looking for, I. approach them. I bring them to the. house." The way Ghislaine described what. she does for Jeffrey is interesting. It's so casual, yet so professional.
Casual in the sense that Ghislaine talks. about picking up these girls like she's. picking up takeout for her boyfriend, just debating on which meal he's craving. and then going to pick it up. But at the same time, you can tell that. Ghislaine takes it very seriously. It's. like a career, a profession. Apparently, she would even leave parties early to go. pick up girls for Jeffrey. So, at this. point, are they dating or are they. romantic? So, it's speculated that they started. off briefly romantic Mhm. and then they. were no longer romantic, became best. friends and codependent on each other.
for various things. Jeffrey Epstein was. probably dependent on Ghislaine Maxwell. for her connections, and I think that he. liked being associated with her. She was. really good at hosting. She was doing. all the wifely duties without him having. a wife. She's hosting these parties for. these business partners and getting him. more clients for whatever he's doing. And she's just obsessed with him. She's. obsessed with him and he's paying her a. lot of money. Mhm. We don't know how. much, so it's almost like ex-girlfriend,
employee, best friend, it it's just weird. And. there's no definitive timeline or a. strong point of when it transitions. Mhm. It's very odd, but it does seem. like she's obsessed with him. Whether. she wants to marry him for the money or. for the love, it's unclear. Christina. looks at Ghislaine. Wait. But who are these girls? What are you. even talking about right now? And. Ghislaine whips around and says, "They. are nothing. They are trash.".
Christina is taken aback. I mean, Ghislaine was clearly desperate for. Epstein. I mean, enough to go and find. girls for him to sleep with three times. a day, and she still wants to marry him. But not only that, she's talking about. these women like they're subhuman. They're nothing but slots to fill in. Jeffrey's busy schedule. Christina. walked out of that apartment that day. disgusted. She had no idea that. Ghislaine Maxwell was talking about. children. 14-year-old girls. One of the most iconic stores in New. York City was Henri Bendel on 5th.
Avenue. The brand's colors are brown and. white stripes. I don't know if you guys. remember Henri Bendel. And at one point, a lot of wealthy women would go there to. shop. It's like a department store, so. they have a little bit of everything. there, and Liz was working there. assisting a woman. And Liz was asking, "Wait, how do you spell your name? I'm. so sorry. It sounds like the French. spelling of gasoline." And the woman. said, "It's Ghislaine." And my boyfriend. thinks I'm a lot like gasoline. I'm the. gasoline and he's the match. So Liz and. the woman, Ghislaine, they start busting.
out laughing. I mean, I've worked in. retail before. These are like the best. clients. Sometimes in luxury retail, you. have people who take themselves way too. seriously, and you feel like as the. salesperson, you have to walk on pins. and needles cuz they're so prim, they're. so proper. But then you have someone. walk in buying stuff, and they're so fun. to be around. It is like the best part. of your day. And Liz is genuinely having. a good time. She feels like she's making. a friend. Ghislaine picked out a ton of. stuff and requested that Liz drop it off. at her hotel nearby later tonight. Which, I mean, it isn't completely.
unheard of in Manhattan in luxury. department stores. So Liz is like, "Okay, yeah, that's fine. And I'm kind. of excited to see her again.". Not in the "Ooh, I can't wait to spend. time with her," but more so at least. it'll be fun to drop it off with this. client rather than a different client. So Liz hauls all the bags to the hotel. She gets there. The concierge was. expecting her. He escorts her to the. dimly lit hotel bar where Ghislaine is. sitting with a man. This is my friend, Jeffrey Epstein. Hello.
They had Liz sit down, and she remembers. thinking, "Wow, if Ghislaine is. electrifying, Jeffrey's on fire." I. mean, the two of them are just so fun. They're so hilarious, fun, natural to be. around. Ghislaine explains, "Our. residence is being renovated, so we're. staying here for the time being. Oh, actually, do you mind helping me bring. the bags up to our room?" Liz agreed. They went up the elevator, got to the. room. Liz came in, and they were still. talking as normal. Then all of a sudden, Jeffrey gets up, goes to the restroom, and Ghislaine,
without saying anything, goes in after. him. And it's just a little bit weird. Liz is just standing there like, "Uh, okay. I don't know what they're doing.". Then they come back out in bathrobes. And again, it wasn't the craziest thing. in the world. I mean, they didn't make. it weird. They're still having open. conversations about casual stuff. It. just seemed like maybe they're turning. down for the night. And then out of nowhere, the entire. energy of the room shifts. Jeffrey and. Ghislaine start making out in front of. Liz intensely. Liz has zero idea on what.
to do. I mean, this is. Does she just say, "Okay, bye. Thank. you," and leave? Does she wait it out. and hope that they're done in 3 seconds. so that she can politely excuse herself? She doesn't even know. She can't even. fully run through her options before. Ghislaine starts waving at her to join. them. Ghislaine kept narrating what Jeffrey. likes, how she pleases him. But. Ghislaine's voice was never in this. weird overtly sexual way. It almost. sounded like a big sister teaching a. younger sister how to braid her hair.
It sounded so natural and almost normal. Liz stated the night escalated into full. assault, and as soon as she had the. opportunity to run away, she ran away. And Liz left as quickly as possible, ran. home. She quit her job at Henri Bendel. She wanted to get as far away from her. job, as far away from Ghislaine as. possible. She wanted to just get over. that night. Like, forget about that. night and try to move on from the. trauma. A few weeks later, Liz is working at a. new high-end retailer. A woman walks in. through the door. "I'm looking for Liz.".
It was Ghislaine Maxwell. For 3 years, Liz tried changing her phone number, her. apartment, her job. Ghislaine and. Jeffrey always found her. Because. Ghislaine and Jeffrey always get what. they want. There's an interesting quote. that's "History repeats itself, but in. such a cunning disguise that we never. detect the resemblance until the damage. is done." So it's I guess it's supposed. to mean that history is running on a. cycle. We're doing the same things over. and over again, and we don't even.
realize it because it's so cunning. Ghislaine Maxwell seemed to be modeling. Island, Little St. Jeff's, after her. childhood. Whether this is intentional. or subconscious, the similarities. between the island and Ghislaine's. childhood are eerily creepy. So we. briefly went over the island in part. one, but Jeffrey Epstein owned an island. in the US Virgin Islands where he would. take, honestly, whoever he wanted. Sometimes he held scientific conventions. there where he and 20 of the top. physicists in the world, including the. likes of Stephen Hawking, would explore.
the concept of gravity. Other times, he. would go there with his closest friends. Who's been on that island has been hotly. debated. Names like Bill Clinton, Naomi. Campbell, Stephen Hawking, Prince. Andrew, the Obamas, like they've all. come up. Their presence on the island. has all been debated, but the locals. that were there, they knew that young girls were. constantly on that island. They don't. know about the Clintons or the Obamas or. Naomi Campbell or any of these people, but they nicknamed Epstein's plane as. the Lolita Express because every time he. would fly in with a plane full of.
underage girls, and they would be barely. clothed, just lounging in the sun with. Epstein. It's stated by victims that the island. is where a lot of the trafficking and. the quote "loaning out to celebrity. CEOs, world leaders" happened because of. how secure it is. The island is. controlled by Epstein. It's his own. lawless land. You can only get to it by. landing his private jet on a nearby. bigger island, then taking his. helicopter to Little St. Jeff's. Allegedly, Epstein purchased a ton of. sea urchins, like the spiky-shelled.
black balls, to put into the ocean to. spread throughout so that nobody could. get on or off his island without him. knowing about it. It's basically like. being completely deserted on an isolated. island. There have been allegations of. rituals being held on the island where. the rich and influential have sacrificed. children in exchange for more power. Allegations of group intimate relations. with world leaders and underage. children. It's also alleged that what we. know about everything that happened on. the island is only tip of the iceberg. It's stated that a big group of Jeffrey.
Epstein's victims on the island were. foreigners, underage foreigners from. Eastern Europe that were flown in to be. trafficked, abused, and then flown back. with threats and fear. It's been. corroborated to a degree by another. victim from the island that said this. was true, and that Epstein would joke. about how it's perfect because they. don't have to listen to the girls talk. cuz nobody understands their language. There are allegations that victims'. passports were confiscated on the. island, and it became a jail. They had.
lost all ability to say no to anything. They were completely powerless. But the. frustrating thing is, we don't know for. 100% certain what happened on that. island. We know bits and pieces from. victims, but the full scale of all the. crimes that took place, I don't know if. we'll ever know. But I can present you. with some of the stuff that we do know. And what we know about this island and. how it was run, it seems alarmingly. similar to Ghislaine's childhood. So I'm. going to try to give you little bits and. pieces of both because it's kind of.
eerie. It A lot of this was told in. Sarah Ransome's book where she was lured. to the island by a friend of hers. She. was recruited, essentially, to the. island. She gets there, her passport's. taken. She has no way off, and she's. being assaulted. It's bad. So, growing. up, Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine's father, believed that his whole life, women are. just there strictly for men's pleasure. I mean, they're strictly there as. objects to be used at his convenience. He would hit on other women in front of. his wife. He would hit on those women's.
daughters in front of that woman and in. front of his wife. I mean, women for him. were just a good time. That's it. On the island, Sarah remembers Ghislaine. was going to be arriving separately from. everyone. And Sarah was so nervous and. excited to finally meet this woman that. every other girl on the island was. talking about. Some even called her Mama. Bear. One girl told her, "She's. powerful, wealthy, and she knows. everybody. Don't cross her. Just stay. out of her way, and you're going to be. fine. Just do whatever she tells you to do.". When Ghislaine's helicopter landed,
Sarah nervously waved hello when. Ghislaine got off because what else are. you supposed to do? Ghislaine looked her up and down, walked. past her because to Ghislaine, just like. Robert Maxwell, Sarah and these other. girls were nothing. They are trash. Growing up, Ghislaine's dad trained her. to be some sort of some sort of a. ranger, connector. She was always. putting two people together. So when her. dad, Robert, would host parties at the. Hill Hall, Ghislaine was expected to. bring people she thought would be. interesting for her dad or bring people.
that would be interesting for her dad's. friends, i.e., very young women. And she was. really good at it. Ghislaine would. always find the right people to connect. She knew how to read people. She knew. how to read the room. She knew exactly. what people were looking for. Ghislaine. would make such seamless, smooth. introductions between two parties that. you would never even know that all of. this was masterfully planned and. meticulously executed by Ghislaine. She. just had a way of making everything, normalizing every single social. interaction. On the island, Sarah.
claimed Ghislaine would wake her up in. the middle of the night to go service. Epstein. Even if she told Ghislaine she. was bleeding from the assaults from. earlier that day, Ghislaine would calm. her down and forcibly drag her if she. needed to because her job is to connect. the two. She's there to arrange the. meeting between Sarah and Jeffrey. Epstein and she was going to get her job. done. Growing up, it said Ghislaine. developed an ED at just 3 years old. They say it's one of the main reasons. that the Maxwells spoiled Ghislaine more.
than the rest of the kids. Her parents. felt like she was really neglected when. she was a baby. So, right around the. time of Ghislaine's birth, the eldest. son of the Maxwell family had slipped. into a coma. And a lot of people were just not paying. attention to Ghislaine and it's. speculated by Ghislaine's parents that. Ghislaine developed a terrible eating. disorder at just 3 years old to try and. receive some attention. On the island, Ghislaine tells Sarah she's too heavy. You being 5'9" and 146 lb is not to.
Jeffrey's liking. Ghislaine would make. sure that all the delicious food that. the chef prepared were off limits to. Sarah. All the snacks would be locked. up. When the rest of the group would sit. down to eat, Sarah was given thin slices. of cucumber, tomato, and tiny tiny. portions of meat. The other girls would. glance at her and Sarah, she can't leave. this island. She's being abused. There's. no way out. There's no escape. She's. miserable and now she's being starved. She's taking giant gulps of water in. between bites of cucumber to try and. fill her stomach. Growing up, Ghislaine had these Sunday.
weekly reviews. Every Sunday during. family dinner, the Maxwell kids would be. instructed to stand around the dinner. table. They can't sit down. They would. have to stay standing until Father. Maxwell would walk in and the room would. be silent. Everyone would have their. shoulders pushed back, their chest. forward, and they would wait for him to. sit down at the seat at the head of the. table and he would probably say. something along the lines of proceed. The children would have to go one by one. giving a full presentation to Robert. Maxwell about what they did this week, what they achieved, and what they hope.
to achieve next week. If he didn't like. their responses, they don't get to sit. down. They don't get to eat. He would. take off their belt and whip them and. then send them up to their rooms where. they would have to write him an apology. letter after getting whipped. On the island, Ghislaine would have. Sarah stand up at the dinner table and. had all the other girls point out all. the quote fat parts of her body and she. would laugh, "You're enormous. If you. didn't eat for an entire month, you'd. still be overweight and disgusting.". Other days, she would grab Sarah's waist. at the dinner table, have Sarah stand up.
and start poking at her waist. "Look how. massive you are today. It looks like we. need to cut down even on cucumbers.". Ghislaine told her the only acceptable. weight for her at that height was 114. lb, which would actually classify Sarah. as underweight, but Ghislaine did not. care. Growing up, Ghislaine's mom never. stepped in to help when the kids were. being belittled or berated by Robert. Maxwell. She took a very passive. approach. Some would even argue that she. let it happen. On the island, there were. a lot of girls that looked at Ghislaine.
like a mother figure. Shante was one of. those girls. Shante came to the island. because she thought this was a great. opportunity to become a masseuse. She remembered the first time on the. island, she felt like she was in a. fantasy land. She was a princess. Everyone had their own separate villas. that were separated from each other and. the beautiful candlelit dinner. I mean, Shante went back to her villa and. someone had lit a candle in the room, left a book on the nightstand, and had a. mosquito net set up around her bed. It's. like a dream. She remembered the first night she.
plopped down on her bed thinking, "This. is going to be the best job in the. world. I get to travel the world and I. just do massages? Incredible." She. starts reading her book. She's getting. ready to fall asleep when she hears a. knock on the door. It's one of Epstein's. assistants. "Jeffrey's ready for his. massage." Shante thought it was odd, but. she was hired to be a masseuse and. technically it's a private island. Maybe. island time works differently. I mean, she tried to convince herself this is. completely normal, right? Cuz if you're. hired to be a private masseuse, it's not. like you just work business hours. She.
follows Jeffrey's assistant, goes to his. villa. The massage table was all set up. and the waves were crashing outside on. the rocks and Shante kept thinking, "Well, okay. This is a little. uncomfortable, but at least Ghislaine is. nearby because I don't know if that's. his girlfriend or his wife or what, but. she's like the mom of the group." Shante. waited for Jeffrey and he burst in with. a rope, threw it off, and climbed onto. the table. He looked incredibly smug, she said. Then he grabbed her wrist and. tugged her toward the bed, pulled her on. top of him, and he assaulted her. She. stated the more she struggled, the more.
fun he was having. When he was done, he. just jumped up, left her there, hopped. into the shower. Shante said she was so. traumatized, she got up, threw on her. shorts, ran all the way back to her. villa without her shoes, cutting up. completely the whole bottom of her feet. was all bloody and she cried herself to. sleep. And she kept thinking there were. so many people. Ghislaine was there. She. was nearby. She knew Ghislaine heard her. scream and Ghislaine did nothing. There were 70 staff members on that. island. How did they not see anything? I.
mean, Ghislaine warned the employees. that there would be a lot of women. around. She explained it to the. employees as, "They're going to be bees. around the honey pot, but I'm queen bee. Always remember that." And it was. impossible to forget. Ghislaine was a. demanding bee. There were about 70 staff. members on the private island alone. Some of them called her Hurricane. Ghislaine. They said whenever she got to. the island, all tranquility, all. peacefulness, out, gone, out the door. And her way with staff was to treat them. quote like the help. I mean, she was.
ruthless. The workers there were. explicitly told not to be seen unless. requested and they weren't allowed in. most buildings where the abuse was. taking place. So, many victims stated. it's perfectly understandable that some. of the staff didn't even know what was. going on. But they say a photo is worth. a thousand words. and there is a painting of Bill Clinton. that was saying a lot. There was a. painting of Bill Clinton hung in Jeffrey. Epstein's New York City mansion. It's of. Bill Clinton in a blue dress and red. heels. Former President Clinton is. sitting dangling his legs off the side.
of an armchair and pointing at you or. whoever's looking at this painting and. he's smiling in almost like this. coquettish manner. Some people have. interpreted this painting to be the one. that pokes at Bill Clinton's affair with. Monica Lewinsky because Monica Lewinsky. is the woman that Bill Clinton had an. affair with while he was president of. the United States. Side note, the power. imbalance there is like a whole other. story for another day, but she wore a. iconic blue dress that was stained with. the president's bodily fluids after an. intimate incident that they had. She. wore the blue dress for the rest of her.
day working as an intern in the White. House because she thought it was spinach. dip that she had spilled on her dress. It was not spinach dip. I mean, I guess. it could be argued that it's the blue. dress Hillary Clinton wore to the 2009. Kennedy Center Honors. It's not, but it could be. I guess art. is about who interprets it. And the. interpretation that the internet had of. this painting being hung in Jeffrey. Epstein's New York City estate was he. was sending a message because if he. knows Bill Clinton personally and still. purchased this piece of art and hung it.
up, it almost felt like he was outwardly. telling people, "I have stuff on Bill. Clinton. I have stuff on everyone. I can. make fun at former presidents. because what are they going to do to. me?". Jeffrey Epstein was also known to keep a. collection of photos of very powerful. people that he had ties to. Allegedly, he had a wall of photos that included. Woody Allen, Bill Clinton, the Prince of. Saudi Arabia, Pope John Paul II, and. Cuba's Fidel Castro. Now, just to. preface and disclaim, just because there.
are pictures of them on his walls. doesn't mean they were in any way. friendly with one another or even met. each other or even if they did, that. still does not explicitly imply guilt of. any sort of crime or even morally. corrupt action. So, don't kill me. Honestly, I should just. leave it there, but I will say a lot of. the photographs included individuals who. had scandals of their own. So, it's just. very interesting. But more damning in Jeffrey Epstein's. photo collection were photos of young. girls in small bikinis or naked girls. pictured on the beach. There were. several photos of various girls engaging.
in group activities with one another and. with Epstein. There's a crudely drawn. picture of a baby and a skull as well as. a real photo of a girl that appears to. be around 6 years old wearing a short. dress bending over and exposing her. back. But that's not even the picture. that brought this case to the forefront. of all the international news. Instead, it was a picture of 17-year-old. Virginia Giuffre wearing a tank top, a. pair of jeans. There's Ghislaine Maxwell.
standing in the back and Prince Andrew. of the British royal family with his arm. on 17-year-old Virginia's bare waist. There is a room in Florida where there. are so many valuables in this room. Crystals, chandeliers, museum-level. statues. But if you really want to rob. the place because I don't know, you have. a wish to be imprisoned. I don't advise. anyone to do that, but if you must, they. say you should peel off the walls. Not. for the artwork that's hanging there, but the room is plastered with $7. million worth of gold leaf.
Or if you think that's way too. complicated, just steal a bathroom sink. or two because there are gold-plated. sinks with over $100,000 per sink. It is. the 20,000 square foot ballroom in. Mar-a-Lago, former President Trump's. Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach. Did you. know they charge $200,000 for your. initiation fee? It's a one-time payment. that you don't get back. There's also an. annual fee of about $16,000 that you. have to pay, but even if you have the. money and you want to spend it at. Mar-a-Lago, you can't. They have a 500.
member cap and each applicant must be. vetted and referred by a current member. and then Trump himself will sign every. single approved applicant. Jeffrey. Epstein was banned indefinitely from. Mar-a-Lago. He wasn't even a member and. he got banned. I feel like that got that. sounds more impressive than being a. member. Yeah. Exactly. Allegedly, Ghislaine was the one who knew Trump, not Epstein, and through Epstein's. connection with Ghislaine, Epstein. started visiting Mar-a-Lago even though. he's not a member. I don't know if. that's against the club rules. I don't.
know if the rich are allowed to break. club rules, but it seemed like Trump. didn't really care Yeah. until one day. he gets a call from a very angry member. He states that his young daughter was. laying out by the pool when a man. approached her giving her some sort of. reason on why she needed to go to his. mansion and she went probably assuming. everyone at the club was at least. familiar with her family, maybe a family. friend. It'd probably be safe. So she. went and he tried to convince her to get. naked. So she ran out of there called. her dad who immediately directly called.
Trump very upset about what transpired. and Epstein was banned from ever. stepping foot on Mar-a-Lago ever again. That is a crazy crazy story. But. Ghislaine wasn't. Virginia said the same. thing happened to her. But she didn't have rich parents to call. Trump. Virginia was a changing room. assistant at Mar-a-Lago making $9 an. hour. Her dad worked there as a. maintenance manager. One day Virginia. found her dad at work and she was. excitedly telling him about this new. opportunity that she had. One of the.
very wealthy members had asked her if. she wanted to work for her and earn a. massage therapist license. I mean it. seemed perfect because she would. probably pay more than the club and. Virginia would get a license from it. meaning it would only open more doors. for her future. Virginia was so excited. and her dad wanted to support her. So. after work he personally drove her. Her dad personally drove her to. Epstein's Palm Beach mansion where. Ghislaine met with the both of them in. the driveway. Ghislaine reassured. Virginia's dad that they would have. Virginia home safe and sound later. tonight so he could just get home and.
rest. He trusted them. They're members. of the club. So Virginia's dad left. Virginia was. escorted upstairs with Ghislaine. She's. 16 17 at the time. She has zero. experience with massages. She's never. even gotten a massage at this point so. she has no idea how it works. She goes. upstairs the door swings open and she's. shocked. Jeffrey Epstein is laying there. naked on the table. Virginia is like contemplating running. out but she reasons with herself because. our brains are incredible at reasoning. with ourselves that maybe this is normal.
like maybe you just put a towel over. right? But then Ghislaine starts taking. off her shirt and starts rubbing her. bare chest on Jeffrey Epstein's body. with massage oils implying to Virginia. and stating that this is what she needs. to do. They coerce Virginia into taking off her. clothes. She just did as she was told. I. mean she didn't know what else to do. That was the very first time the two of. them assaulted Virginia Giuffre. Virginia Giuffre would be one of the key. victims to take down the sex trafficking. ring. Even the newest court document. releases, those were from Virginia.
Giuffre's defamation lawsuit against. Ghislaine. But unfortunately, that also. means that Virginia Giuffre would endure. some of the worst most extensive and. traumatizing acts committed by Jeffrey. Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Virginia. stated that she was essentially loaned. out to basically service all the other. high-powered friends that Epstein and. Maxwell had. Virginia said, I was. trained to be everything a man wanted me. to be. It was interesting sexual. training. They wanted me to be able to. cater to all the needs of the men they. were going to send me to. They said that. they loved that I was very compliant and.
knew how to keep my mouth shut about. what they expected me to do. Epstein and. Ghislaine also told me that they wanted. me to produce information for them in. addition to performing sex on the men. They told me to pay attention to the. details about the men so that I could. report back to them. Virginia stated that she was terrified. She said she couldn't leave or speak up. sooner because he could have had me. killed or abducted and I knew he was. capable of that if I didn't obey him. She said, I realized that my only. purpose for Jeffrey Epstein and. Ghislaine Maxwell and their friends was. to be used for sex.
Virginia stated that she was working. with them and Jeffrey had sex with. underage girls on a daily basis. She. said, His interest in this kind of sex. was obvious to the people around him. The activities were so obvious and bold. that anyone spending any significant. time at any one of Jeffrey Epstein's. residences would have clearly been aware. of what was going on. In a deposition. Virginia stated, In addition to. constantly finding underage girls to. satisfy their personal desires, Jeffrey. Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell also got. girls for Jeffrey Epstein's friends and. acquaintances. Jeffrey Epstein. specifically told me that the reason for.
him doing this was that they would quote. owe him, that they would quote be in his. pocket and he would quote have something. on them. I understood that Jeffrey. Epstein thought he could get leniency if. he was ever caught doing anything. illegal or he could escape trouble. altogether. Virginia would come forward. with allegations that she was essayed by. Prince Andrew three times, once in. London, once in New York City and. another once in a group activity session. on the island. Virginia stated, quote, I. knew he was a member of the British. royal family, but I just called him. Andy. I got news from Ghislaine Maxwell.
that I would be meeting a prince later. that day. Jeffrey Epstein told me I was. meeting a major prince. Jeffrey Epstein. told me to exceed everything I had been. taught. He emphasized whatever Prince. Andrew wanted, I was to make sure he. got. Prince Andrew would state that he has no. recollection of meeting this lady even. though there's a picture of them. together when she was 17. But he said, No, no, no. No to all of it. That's what. Prince Andrew said in an interview about. the allegations. He also argued that the. photo of him and Virginia must be edited.
because those are his traveling clothes. that he's wearing. But it's stated that. the picture was taken in London which to. him doesn't make sense because he only. travels in his traveling clothes. Prince. Andrew also states that men always. remember every single time they have. intimate relations because it's a. positive experience. So the fact that he. cannot remember intimate relations with. Virginia basically means that it didn't. happen. In the end Prince Andrew settled out of. court and it's rumored that Virginia. Giuffre was given more than $12 million.
which I believe she's putting into a. charity that she's started. But even. with the settlement Prince Andrew has. denied all allegations. Soon after the. settlement the queen stripped him of all. of his royal titles which was incredibly. significant because it is alleged that. Prince Andrew was Queen Elizabeth's. favorite son. Virginia Giuffre said, Cages come in. many forms and I can tell you my cage. might have been a golden cage, but it. was a cage nonetheless. I was very alone. and there was no way out. It's speculated that humans evolved to.
be able to sense when others are looking. at us and watching us. Everyone at the. Daily Mirror, Ghislaine's dad's company, knew that Robert Maxwell was watching. them. He would bug the executives'. phones. It was known that people at the. Daily Mirror would have meetings where. they just wrote down their thoughts. rather than saying it because everyone. knew that Robert Maxwell was listening. to them. Even at home Robert Maxwell would hide. recording devices into antique lamps. because he wanted to hear everything his. family was saying about him at all. times. Jeffrey Epstein allegedly did the same.
thing. Sarah Ransom states that every. inch of his properties including the. island was monitored with cameras every. single inch. Robert Maxwell watched. Ghislaine and everybody else in his. life. Ghislaine and Jeffrey watched all. their victims, but someone was watching. Jeffrey. And I think he knew it. He had. a new addition to his art collection, a. photorealistic painting he personally. commissioned that depicted a prison. scene with him in the middle of barbed. wires and guards. This is after he got. out of prison the first time. So he gets a photo commissioned like a.
painting commissioned of him. in prison and he told a friend about the. painting and he said, That's me. I want. this painting so that I am always. remembering the possibility that that. could be me again. Like I could always. go back to prison. Which is objectively I guess a smart. reminder. But the problem is Jeffrey got. too comfortable and forgot that people. are watching him. July 8th, 2019 Jeffrey. Epstein was arrested for conspiracy to. commit sex trafficking and sex. trafficking of underage girls in New.
York State. It's likely he didn't know. that he was being watched or. investigated or studied because he got. aboard his private jet, flew in from. Paris, landed in New Jersey where he was. greeted by a fleet of cars, the FBI and. NYPD. The minute he stepped on American soil. he was arrested and placed in handcuffs. How did he not know that they were. watching him? If he knew he probably. would have stayed in France or fled. somewhere else. He had the means, he had the money. The. authorities would later find fake. passports in his New York City townhouse. safe. I'm sure he had more. By all.
accounts Jeffrey Epstein seemed. genuinely surprised that he was arrested. a second time, 10 years after his first. arrest. Even after his first arrest. Epstein told the New York Post, I'm not. a sexual predator. I'm an offender. It's. the difference between a murderer and a. person who steals a bagel. He's saying. he just stole a bagel. That's it. But now 10 years later just like the. Maxwell empire the Epstein empire was. going to crumble down in disgrace and. everything that Ghislaine had worked for. the past 10 years was gone down the.
drain. Yeah, sure the sex trafficking. ring. Yeah, okay. That's down the drain. But additionally Ghislaine kept herself. very very busy after Jeffrey's first. arrest in 2008 10 years ago, okay? She. wanted to completely reinvent herself to. be a new woman, the water woman. Side. note, Jeffrey and Ghislaine were very. much close after his first arrest. It. didn't seem like anything ever really. changed. People said that Ghislaine was. still organizing and planning all of. Epstein's massages even after he got out. of prison, but she also created a. network like a method where girls would.
recruit other girls and she would just. kind of sit at the top to make sure. everything was going accordingly. Ghislaine was reinventing herself after. Jeffrey Epstein came out of prison the. first time. She started her own. nonprofit called TerraMar in 2012. She. said it was her project for humanity. The focus was on cleaning up the 8. million metric tons of plastic debris, the garbage that's dumped into the. world's oceans every year. So she would. host these TED Talks where she asked, Is. anybody here staying awake at night. because they're frightened about the. ocean? Are you scared about what could.
happen? Are you trying to think about. what you could do that would help the. ocean and all its myriad of troubles? She would invite her friends over and. instead of talking about writing a book. now to get Jeffrey to marry her or throw. tea parties in her undergarments, Ghislaine was now spending all her time. at dinner parties talking about saving. the ocean, the deep sea and all the. animals that live there that need. saving. It's like she was trying to tie herself. to a bigger picture, a big cause that. was more than why is Epstein obsessed. with massages?
But some people who knew her said, "I. mean, she could not care less about the. ocean, okay?" At a conference in South. Carolina, she was busy talking to. everybody that would listen about. TerraMar. I mean, she sounded really. passionate. So, there was one filmmaker. who had no idea anything about Ghislaine. Maxwell's life, and he was convinced by. her excitement to change the planet. So, he offered to help her shoot this. promotional video that would encourage. viewers to sign a petition. They planned. out the whole video, and just to make. sure that he knew what was going on and. what color she was going to wear, he. asked her, "Wait, what are you going to. wear?" And she's like, "Oh, the TerraMar.
shirt that I plan on releasing." Okay, yeah, that's perfect. But you should see. me in my full leather outfit with. weapons. He was like, "That's so strange, that. happened out of nowhere." And she's. like, "You know Lara Croft from Tomb. Raider? I'm the real-life version of. her.". He said it was incredibly sexual, but in. a creepy way, like there was something. off about it. It was weird. Anyway, the. next morning they meet up on the beach. to shoot the video, and she's wearing. the TerraMar shirt, which looks like the. I heart NYC shirt, but it's I heart.
squiggle squiggle, so like I heart. waves. She paired it with jeans and. stilettos on the sand. Are you here to. save the ocean or get some pictures for. Instagram? He had no idea. The producer. said it was more like a glamour shoot. than anything. He said, "It's like she. was trying to reinvent herself with the. ocean, but she was the same exact. person, and none of us can run away from. ourselves.". But Ghislaine still tried. She would go. to the United Nations and give speeches. about what we need to do for the oceans. People would even joke with her, "You. Maxwell seem to love it underwater.".
Wait, what what what does that mean? Cuz. she loves water, her dad drowned. Oh, man. Yeah, Ghislaine thought it was hilarious. apparently and tipped her head back and. laughed. She even went to a fundraiser. event in New York City after Epstein's. first arrest that was for stopping sex. trafficking. She showed up, took a few. pictures, and left. The fundraisers were. confused why she even came, but also. they noted she did not donate a single. cent. And her sex trafficking partner in. crime was now sitting in prison for the. second time, suspiciously dead, just.
like her dad. Jeffrey Epstein was found. suspended in his jail cell. His death. was officially deemed a self-exit, but. there's even a Wikipedia page called. Jeffrey Epstein isn't dead. So, there's. a few camps of people out there. One. group that thinks that he self-exited, another group that thinks that he was. killed, and one group that thinks that. he's not dead at all, that he's alive, and the Jeffrey Epstein in that cell is. a look-alike. So, let's explore the. first theory briefly, the official. theory. Jeffrey Epstein self-exited.
Experts stated that Jeffrey Epstein had. no defensive wounds, and just going over. his last few days in prison, people said. that it was very tumultuous. A few days. before Jeffrey's death, it stated that. his state was declining very rapidly in. regards to his mental health. It was. reported that he was agitated, he. couldn't properly sleep, the toilet in. his unit kept running. So, the prison. had a toilet overflowing plumbing. problem, so the whole place was infested. with like feces, urine, and infested. with rats and cockroaches. He couldn't. sleep because the toilet was running all. night, and he has sleep apnea. So, he.
would allegedly sit in the corner, sleep. deprived, rocking back and forth, covering his ears, calling himself a. coward. Sometimes he would just crawl up. on the floor and try to sleep on the. floor. He stopped showering. His beard was. unkempt, and a few days before his. death, he attempted to self-exit. The psychologist stated, "Inmate has. multiple risk factors for self-exiting. as identified by BOP statistics. Let's. be proactive.". Jail officials noted in logs that. Epstein was, quote, "Sitting at the edge. of his bed, lost in thought," and, quote, "Sitting with his head against.
the wall." Another facility assistant. emailed the jail official stating. Epstein seemed, quote, "Dazed and. withdrawn." She wrote, "Just to be on. the safe side, can someone from psych. come and talk to him?" He also left a. meeting with his attorney to go call his. mom. His mom has been dead for 15 years. So, it's speculated that perhaps he was. losing his grip. Others felt like by self-exiting, Epstein was getting the last laugh. I. mean, it's like he was saying, "Screw. you." Which a lot of people close to him. said that it would fit exactly what. Epstein would do. He was someone that. wanted to have control till the very.
last end. He wanted to have the final. laugh, the final say, the final word. Days before Epstein's death, he was. making adjustments in his will that. would impact how his assets were going. to be handled. He changed it so that his. $500 ish fortune would go to a trust in. the US Virgin Islands, the 1953 trust. named after the year he was born, but we. have no idea who the benefactors of this. trust are. For all we know, he could. still be paying the people who helped. him commit these crimes. Right now? Yeah. Nobody knows where his money's at?
This was really purposeful because by. putting the money in a trust in the US. Virgin Islands, it would be really hard. for the victims to get money. I believe. there is a separate victim fund trust. set up in the US from the proceeds of. his real estate sales that would go to. victims, but still. He wrote to the You. know the US gymnastics team doctor that. was convicted of abusing athletes? Well, he wrote to him in prison. That letter. never got to Larry, and we don't know. what he wrote in the letter, but that. was like a few weeks before his death. It was just odd. So, people speculate, yeah, no, it seems like he self-exited.
The next theory is that perhaps he was. murdered. Some people think it's a. little simpler. Maybe he was murdered by. someone in prison, you know? And maybe. someone high-profile paid someone in. prison to do it. Maybe the inmate just. didn't like people that abuse children. Others stated, "No, he was murdered by. high-profile people. It was a hit job.". I don't know, but I do know that the. guards, the two guards that were sitting. 15 ft away from Jeffrey Epstein's prison. cell when he was murdered or when he was. dead, they were supposed to do rounds. every 30 minutes, but they didn't. They.
just forged the documents and the. records to make it seem like they did, but in reality, they were on their. phones online shopping for furniture and. motorcycles. They also fell asleep for 2. hours. They stated it was because they. were overworked due to the lack of. staffing. There were only 18 guards in. the entire prison that day that's 12. stories tall and houses close to 800. inmates. One of the two guards was on a 16-hour. shift, so that was kind of their excuse. of, "That's why we didn't realize that. he was dead in his cell." But other.
people thought, "Maybe that's not why.". "Maybe it's because you're not supposed. to tell us what you saw.". Did someone come in and kill Jeffrey. Epstein and stage it? Maybe the guards weren't paying. attention, maybe they were. Jeffrey. Epstein did tell his psychologist that. he was too much of a coward to. self-exit, and one psychologist wrote. that Epstein was very future-oriented. He explicitly told her, "Why would you. ever think I'm suicidal? I'm not. suicidal, and I would never be.". It's also stated that Epstein was. supposed to be hopeful when he died. because his attorneys were on the verge.
of filing a motion that would argue his. non-prosecution agreement in Florida. would apply in New York City somehow. So, I don't know. There's other arguments. where people argue where his ligature. marks were on his neck. So, people were. saying, "Regardless of his mental. health, they believe that the marks on. his neck were not consistent with. self-exiting." Netizens stated that the. marks on his neck were too low. When. you're suspended, the marks would. naturally be higher up near your ears. They stated that the lines on Epstein's. neck were more consistent with someone. coming up behind Epstein and strangling. him. But I would say most people think.
that Epstein was killed by someone. powerful. After Epstein got out of. prison the first time he was arrested, he allegedly joked to his close friends. and said, "Everyone thinks they know me. now, but no, I'm the one that has. everything on them.". It's insinuated that Epstein had. blackmail on powerful people. The. theory, the conspiracy, the same source. does not think that Jeffrey Epstein. killed himself. They stated that he is. way too important to way too many. people. There are stories that came out. that Jeffrey Epstein had every single.
guest bedroom in every single property, even the bathrooms, wired with secret. hidden cameras. He was able to record. very powerful people having sex with. underage girls. He had saved all of. those tapes and used those to gain his. own power and wealth, and that's why. nobody knows how he even made his money. A lot of victims stated they never saw. him work a day in his life. No business. calls, like nothing. It was weird. And. nobody really knows how he made his. money. Netizens say it aligns with. victims coming forward saying that. Epstein would tell them to snoop on all. these men that they were being abused by.
and bring him all these salacious. secretive details about them. But then on the other side, you have. people saying, "But why haven't there. been official mention of any of these. videos? Or why haven't they been not. released, but taken in for evidence, and. everybody involved would have been. arrested?" The conspiracy theorists say, "Well, because everyone in the videos. are too powerful. Not in the sense that. they can control the government, but in. the sense that if they all go down, the. world will see just how corrupt our. world leaders are and our industry. moguls are, and people will turn from.
the government. All trust, the social. contracts will be broken. There will be. some sort of uprising." That's the. theory by netizens. It would be too damaging because it's. not just one politician, it might be all. of them. There are conspiracy theorists. who believe that world order would be. absolutely destroyed with the knowledge. of these tapes existing getting out. And. then you have the theory that he's not. really dead. There is an alleged photo. of Epstein from his cell, dead, and. allegedly the photo doesn't add up with. the facial proportions. So, his ears and.
nose don't match his photo when he's. alive, the side profile. So, the alleged. photo of him dead shows a much more. curved nose at the bottom, at the tip, and the nose bridge is a bit slopier. But Jeffrey Epstein's side profile from. when he's alive, the nose bridge is a. bit straighter, and it's a little bit. more pointed at the tip. His ear, the. alleged photo of him dead, the ear. cartilage is a lot spinier and busier. There's more ear cartilage like showing. in his ear, and it looks like, but when. he's alive, the side profile, it doesn't. look like that.
So, for those reasons, some people. believe that he's out there living with. his $500 trust, living his best life. So, Jeffrey. Epstein is dead, and Ghislaine Maxwell. is on the run. Ghislaine Maxwell was not arrested. She. had multiple citizenships, so she could. technically be anywhere, Paris, Brazil, in a bunker, in a submarine. We don't. even know how much money she has access. to at this point. or even now. So July 2nd, 2022, 11 months after. Jeffrey Epstein's death, in a tree-lined.
hill of New Hampshire, like in a cabin, which cabin makes it sound like she's in. the woods being one with nature. This. cabin is massive. It's surrounded by. endless beautiful pine trees. It's a. luxury oasis. There's a giant window. that's like two stories tall that's. letting in all the sunlight. It's. secluded. It's isolated. I would imagine. if I had to rent this cabin for a month, it'd be tens of thousands of dollars. It's a beautiful, luxurious, well-equipped facility. And it even has. an ironic name. It's called Tucked Away.
Helicopters start flying up above the. trees. Authorities and squad cars show. up. Officers are hiding behind the tree. trunks, and they know that Ghislaine. Maxwell is in there, and they're not. leaving until they get her. So why is. she in the US? We don't know. A lot of. people speculate that she thought it. would just die down. People would just. kind of get over it. What? Yeah. This is a little goofy, but I. mean, you have the FBI out there trying. to get Ghislaine, and she knows this. She's done for. Like she still tries to. flee. She runs from room to room trying.
to outrun the FBI. They eventually found. her, caught her, and her phone was. covered in tinfoil cuz she thought the. aluminum foil would block her cell. signal. No way. Yeah. This is crazy. arrested at 58 years old, and she was. facing 38 years to 50 years in prison. Now people who knew Ghislaine personally. said that she was like a shark, a great. white shark. A lot of people say that. she's a shark that was dealing with a. lot, that she was struggling with deep. insecurities probably caused by her dad.
I mean, there are theories that she was. just looking to find another Robert. Maxwell for her life. It's like she was. chasing that feeling that she's never. enough but wants to keep trying for a. man. I think that there's a few ways that. people perceive Ghislaine. I mean, especially the ones that were. close to her or knew her personally. It. seems like there's the ones that believe. that Ghislaine was victimized by her. father and that she was looking high and. low to fill this gaping hole in her life. for a father figure. She meets Jeffrey. Epstein, and she starts just.
going from this deeply wounded woman to. a monster. That Ghislaine was so. desperate for the attention and love for. these men that she was willing to be a. vile evil being. I mean, side note, this. is what some acquaintances and a small. group of medicines believe, but just. remember, to be a monster, you have to. already have those traits in you. That's how I feel. But those close to. the pair said Ghislaine was obsessed. with him. Genuinely would do anything. for him. When the FBI raided Epstein's. house, they found this hard drive that.
was registered under Ghislaine's name, and it could be inferred that she's the. one using it. They found a Microsoft. Word document that she was working on, and it read like Ghislaine's writing but. pretending to be someone else. It reads, "Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine. Maxwell have been together as a couple. for the past 11 years. They are, contrary to what people believe, rarely. apart. I always see them together. Ghislaine Maxwell is highly intelligent. and great company with a ready smile and. an infectious laugh. Jeffrey Epstein and. Ghislaine Maxwell share many mutual.
interests and are a lot of fun together. They both have inquisitive minds. Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. complement each other really well, and I. cannot imagine one without the other. On. top of being great partners, they are. always best friends." I don't get it. What is that? It seems like she was. writing it to submit it into some sort. of article or newspaper. It's like she. was just so obsessed with him. What kind. of grown woman talks about her. relationship, barely their relationship, in third person form? It's like she's. needs to convince people that they love. each other.
Then there are those who believe that. Ghislaine was just a monster. She's just an evil parrot. People said. that when she would come into work at. her dad's office, because of course she. got a job there, she was just um. when her dad wasn't there, she would. just try to copy her dad. She would. parrot her dad. She would be incredibly. loud and aggressive. It's just she didn't have her own. personality, but she was rude. She was. evil. She did everything for herself. That's all she cared about at the end of. the day was herself. Even what she did.
for Jeffrey Epstein, all these girls. were. a means to an end. Just to give you an idea, I mean, the. way that Ghislaine treated people, especially the house staff, is insane. I. I do think that this is kind of crazy. She wrote a 58-page booklet with. hundreds of checklist items on how she. wanted things done in the residence. She. would get infuriated if someone broke. the oftentimes completely unreasonable. rules. The rules read, "In the grooming guest. relations section, appearance is. extremely important if high standards.
are to be maintained. A favorable first. impression goes a long way. Personal. cleanliness, good presentation, and a. genuine and polite aim to please. approach are very important. Try and. anticipate the needs of Mr. Epstein and. Ms. Maxwell and their guest. Make guests. feel pampered and welcome. Do not. discuss personal problems with guests. Remember that you see nothing, hear. nothing, say nothing except to answer a. question directed at you. Inobtrusive is. the key. Wear the appropriate clothing, dark blue.
trousers with white golf shirts to be. worn daily, long-sleeve white shirts for. dinner service. Items in pockets must. not create a bulge or be visible. Do not. address Mr. Epstein, Ms. Maxwell, and. other guests with hands in your pockets. Do not chew gum. Avoid using strong. perfume or aftershave lotion. This could. cause an allergic reaction. And smile.". Another section is titled Proper What. you say is as important as what you do. Your language must include good diction. and exclude swear words and slang. You. do not say, "Yeah, sure, no problem, you.
bet, gotcha, I don't know." You do say, "Yes, Mr., of course, Ms., my pleasure, it's no trouble at all, you're quite. right, I would be very pleased to, I. have no idea, but I will find out. immediately.". To a compliment, you must say, "You are. very kind. Thank you, Ms., I enjoyed. doing it.". To justified criticism or mistakes, you. say, "I am very sorry, it will not. happen again. It was completely my. fault, and I will make the changes. immediately.". What to say when entering a room. "May I.
come in? Greet whoever is inside the. room. You do not expound on weather or. any other subject unless asked. You. provide your service and then ask, 'Is. there anything else I might do for. you?'". "If not, leave the room.". "When answering the phone, do not slam. the receiver at any time. All calls. should be answered within three rings or. less.". It even has very strict rules for. Ghislaine Maxwell's breakfast. "Maxwell. house coffee served with milk, freshly. squeezed orange juice, glass of water, one Weetabix with sliced banana, milk.
and sugar on the side.". So I guess it's up for you to interpret. how you see Ghislaine. I will say I. don't think in any scenario she is the. victim, but I guess it's the question of. is she a right-hand woman or is she the. mastermind? Did she do what Jeffrey told. her to do or did she plan, execute, and. mastermind a trafficking ring for the. ultra-wealthy? Ghislaine once said in an. interview, "You tell me one person you. know and take 20 people who know that. person, they're all going to give you different.
versions of what they think of that. person.". One victim stated Ghislaine was worse. than Jeffrey. She said Ghislaine got off. in her own way from these assaults. Ghislaine got off on making those. high-powered men happy. She felt. validated from it. Before the trial, Ghislaine's attorney. made a statement. They said, "Ghislaine. is in a very, very difficult condition. Conditions none of us wish on our worst. enemies. I've never seen anything like. it. It's the Epstein effect.". Ghislaine's family have set up a website. for her called realghislaine.com. Her.
brother defended her in an interview and. stated, "Imagine yourself arrested and. imprisoned in solitary confinement, deprived of bail for 9 months. Whatever. your feelings about her allegations, she's entitled to a fair trial, to due. process. My brothers and sisters and I. will never stop fighting for Ghislaine.". The trial itself was very messy, mainly. on the defense part. Ghislaine's defense. attorneys just kept trying to insinuate. that it's unfair that a woman is taking. the fall for a man. In their literal.
opening statements, they said, "Ever. since Eve was tempting Adam with the. apple, women have been blamed for the. bad behavior of men. The charges against. Ghislaine Maxwell are for things that. Jeffrey Epstein did, but she is not. Jeffrey Epstein. She is not like Jeffrey. Epstein.". A victim testified about her abuse that. started when she was 14, but now she has. overcome her trauma and became an. actress. The defense attorneys were. like, "You're an actress? Well, can you cry on command? How do we. know you're not crying on command right.
now? How do we know that you're not. acting right now?". Other times, the defense tried to use. the fact that a lot of the victims grew. up to battle addiction and face other. obstacles in life. They just kind of. threw it in their face, like, "How can. we trust you if you do drugs?". It's a lot. And side note, addiction is. a whole other topic, but many of the. victims stated that they fell into drugs. to cope with their trauma. So it just. felt like a very gross thing to use. against them. Another victim, Annie, who is Maria's. sister, she testified, and the defense. tried to argue that Annie was not.
traumatized by her abuse because she. wore cowboy boots. Okay, I'm obviously summarizing, but. essentially, Annie was gifted a pair of. cowboy boots from Ghislaine and Jeffrey. She stopped wearing them once she. escaped them, but every time she would. look and see them in her closet, she. felt this pain, and she thought, "You. know what? No, I'm going to reclaim it. It's just a pair of shoes." It was part. of her overcoming her trauma. So she. starts wearing the cowboy boots again, and the defense brought in her cowboy. boots, showed the wear and tear, and. insinuated that if Annie was actually. distraught about what happened and.
traumatized, she would throw the boots. away, and she would never be able to. even wear them. The defense also tried to use the fact. that some of the victims testifying were. awarded anywhere between two to five. million dollars in the victim. compensation program as a way to show. that that victims were just money-hungry. and that they would say anything to get. money out of the fund. There's a lot of victim-blaming, a lot, which is, in a way, expected in our. justice system, but also not, and it's. infuriating because, you know, it's.
what is going on? Why are we still doing. this? And side note, when Ghislaine was. asked if she would testify or not at her. own trial, usually the defendant on. trial will answer just a simple yes or. no. But Ghislaine responded to the. judge, "Your Honor, the government has. not proven their case beyond a. reasonable doubt, so there is no need. for me to testify." In the end, December. 29th, 2021, just a few days after. Ghislaine's 60th birthday, Ghislaine was. born on Christmas, the verdict came. through, and Ghislaine was found guilty. of five of the six charges.
Ghislaine was sentenced to 20 years in. prison. Her attorneys will be appealing, and Ghislaine states that she, too, is a. victim of Jeffrey Epstein and was. manipulated by him. She also states that. when she gets out of prison, her life. goal is to help others that have been. incarcerated. So, that's like Terramar point 2.0. Ghislaine also stated that she wishes. that she never met Jeffrey Epstein, had. no idea how evil he was, and according. to one source, Ghislaine is writing a. book in prison. The source states that. Ghislaine doesn't think that she's done. anything wrong, and that once people.
read her book, and they know her true. story, she will be freed. Yeah. Crazy, crazy. The source also states. that Ghislaine is very upset that she, a. woman, is the only one facing. consequences. Ghislaine is also adamant that the. picture of Prince Andrew and Virginia. Giuffre when she was 17 was forged. It's. a fake edited photo. So, it's wild. She. also has zero proof. She just says, "I. don't know exactly how many points there. are, but there are over 50 problems with. that picture, so I don't believe it to. be a true picture.". I will say the FBI had it in their.
possession and never brought up any. suspicions that it was altered. So, hopefully, Ghislaine will spend a. very long time in prison. But there are. still a lot of unanswered questions with. this case. Like one victim stated during. the trial that she saw a picture of. Ghislaine Maxwell nude. and pregnant in Jeffrey Epstein's house. There have been no further details. Ghislaine is not known to be a mother. Could she have a child somewhere out. there? Could that be the beneficiary to. the trust? I really can't tell you. I mean, the.
theories just keep going on this case. They're endless. But I will say the. victims who have come forward to go up. against people like Jeffrey Epstein and. Ghislaine Maxwell, they are the ones. with the true power. They are incredibly. brave and admirable. And just to give. you an idea, in the 58-page rulebook for. the house staff, a page reads, "Preparations checklist for master. bedroom. Set air conditioning at 60. degrees. Two lighted pens on both. bedside tables. Jeffrey Epstein's large.
and small notepads on both bedside. tables. Box of tissues on each bedside. table. Replace if less than 1/3 full. Gun placed in bedside table drawer.". And that is the full case of Jeffrey. Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I mean, there's a lot more online if you're. interested, but these are just what we. know of them from online sources, those. acquaintances, anonymous sources that. have come forward, and I don't know. It's just more messier than I thought it.
would ever be. What are your thoughts? Let me know in. the comments, and I will see you guys on. Wednesday for the next episode. Bye.
