It is also what led me, decades later, into the very uncomfortable position of speaking out about the horrific legacy of the child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whom I briefly dated in 1993.
I was introduced to Epstein at a dinner party, which I attended at the request of my then agent, Faith Kates. He was charming and smart, and didnt condescend as we connected over current events and the state of the world, a rare experience for me in those scenarios.
The brief relationship that emerged was consensual. But some of the events that took place within the confines of that relationship were not.

She was filmed by Epstein disrobed without her consent and groped by Donald Trump.
Simply put, this is a story about two evil men.

He may not be able to maintain the sanctimonious tone and arrogance trying to spin that.
Even with his BuyBull verses.

(75,254 posts)Yet what weve seen is a game of political chicken. The Wall Street Journal reported that the attorney general, Pam Bondi, privately told Trump his name appears in Epstein-related files. The justice departments second-in-command, Todd Blanche Trumps former lawyer met behind closed doors not with victims, but with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for helping Epstein abuse underage girls. And despite public assurances that there is nothing to see, Congress recessed early rather than debate the issue. Maxwell, meanwhile, was quietly moved to a more comfortable minimum-security prison in Texas, despite the fact that she repeatedly deflected and minimized facts during her interview.
