Billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates has said her ex-husband, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, being named in new files relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein dredged up “painful times in my marriage”.
She told an NPR podcast she feels “unbelievable sadness” about the Epstein allegations and that the people named in the records, including her former husband, need to answer to it.
“I am so happy to be away from all the muck,” she said. The couple divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage.
Records released by the US justice department include an allegation by Epstein that Bill Gates caught a sexually transmitted disease. He has called the claim “absolutely absurd”.
She is not a victim. I wouldn’t care about her at all outside of “tax her so she’s not a billionaire,” except this publicity does nothing for anyone but her. Chances are she’s paying big bucks to do these interviews. I mean it’s the same move her ex has pulled the last 20 years!
Maybe she was ignorant and had no access to proof. Or maybe she’s into the same shit and wants a squeaky clean reputation to help avoid consequences. Either way, these types of articles shouldn’t be trusted, and they certainly shouldn’t be on the front page.
she probably was an enabler, doesnt want to lose that sweet charity image you made.
