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”.
I don’t think Bill has actually been accused of anything criminal, has he? Even if the stuff about getting STDs is true, there’s nothing to indicate the women involved weren’t adults.

The most disgusting oxymoron I’ve read this morning
As disgusting as this is, is it really surprising when most of media is referring to a child rapist and sex trafficker as ‘disgraced financier’.
He spent a lot of his money to eradicate disease in other countries. I guess he was just offsetting himself.
No sympathy for her, because she pretended not to know anything until someone else told everyone.
If she had blew the whistle as soon as she found out it woupd be one thing.
But she covered for child rapists until everyone else found out, and now is legit trying to pass it off as “crazy, right?”
If she knew and kept her mouth shut for whatever reason, then she’s an accessory at least after the fact
Fuck all these billionaires who think the rules don’t apply to them and their friends.
Plus, she married a billionaire, not a saint. What did she expect?
Painful to pee?
Billionaires become billionaires because they want all of the power and privileges that come along with it. If having the total freedom and liberty to do whatever you want is your goal, there doesn’t seem to be any better way to accomplish that than to become obscenely rich. And I think that’s why so many people tolerate this cultural, social arrangement: because their goals are aligned with the super wealthy. The difference between the rich and the poor isn’t their values, it’s their net worth. That’s why everyone is hustling so hard every day to try and get as rich as possible, so that one day, maybe, they might be the one laying out on the deck of a yacht, drinking expensive champagne, snorting coke and getting a hand job from a beautiful, young girl.
Did any other prominent people get divorced around the same time?
Interesting body language from her in that video.
