The philanthropist always saw Epstein for who he really was – despite his meetings with her then husband Bill Gates. Now carving out a life on her own terms, she explains why she’s focused on the fight for women’s health

    That’s a good question and I wonder how aware of his exhusband’s fast “friendship” and the fact he was a guest to his island nyc subsidiary in multiple occasions, because their divorce came quickly after the revelation.

      For the record, Gates did NOT go to the island, ever. Not even once.

      He was a frequent guest at Epstein’s Manhattan penthouse, but never the island. He refuses to say why he never went to the island, other than saying it’s not for him. It is rumored he caught an STD from someone at the penthouse.

      None of this excuses Gates, since he clearly associated with Epstein. Just correcting the record on a detail.

        The rumor came from an email written by Epstein himself, so it’s either a malicious rumor or a fact.

          In his opening statement, Gates did not address any travel on Epstein’s plane, but said he never went to Epstein’s island, ranch or Florida home.

          So now that Gates denies it, the burden of proof is on everyone else to provide evidence that he was on the island.
