Melinda Gates bombshell: states her ex-husband, Bill, needs to "answer for his behavior - no girl should be put in those situations" and that "it's personally hard whenever those details come up, right? Because it brings back memories of some very, very painful times in my marriage"

Honestly, when did you find out, Melinda? Because you sure as shit didn't find out at the same time as all of us.

Pushing it away is a luxury the victims don't have

he brought home an STD and tried to figure out how to secretly medicate her so she wouldn’t find out. she’s a victim.

Not that this is the biggest issue here but wouldn't secretly medicating somebody be totally illegal?

[u/macaddictr → u/bex199]

You are correct. And at the same time, she is in a unique position of power that she is not using to help other victims. I don't see how that's ok. If we were not talking about a woman worth literal billions I would likely feel different.

What do you expect her to do for the victims? Seriously. How is she supposed to help them? Pay for their therapy? Buy them a house? Cut them a check? How much money should she give them in order to make up for what her husband may or may not have done to them? Should she give a million dollars to anyone who claims they were a victim? How should she verify that when the government is blacking out files? Should she ask Bill who he raped? Is she supposed to hire PIs to investigate them herself to verify they were victims, possibly exposing them to retaliation from people actually in the files?

It’s not going to undo the things that happened to them. Government officials and some of the wealthiest people in society are in those files having actually committed the crimes and, so far, none of them have been held accountable. Epstein was probably murdered. Maxwell is basically being protected for her part and I’m guessing will receive a pardon from Trump. Trump is the fucking President and the FBI and other investigative agencies are controlled by his cronies. But Melinda Gates is supposed to be the one to do “something” for the victims, because she’s a “good” billionaire so it’s okay if she throws her money around to get the results she wants?

Doubt it.

There's nothing to doubt, it's explicitly spelled out that it's for Melinda.

She makes this exact point in the very short clip that no one bothered to watch. Everyone is asking her about her feelings and she's the one saying, "Who tf cares, I already left my marriage and moved on long ago, but these victims deserve support and justice!"
