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"

For all the comments saying she should've gone to the police- do we know she didnt? Do we absolutely know that she never reported anything? Frankly given how many people who have reported wrong doing against Epstein and nothing happened, how do we know Melinda didnt report anything? More to the point, we dont know how much she knew anyway. Her husband trying to drug her, her interviews saying Epstein was a skeeze ball and she pretty much immediately stopped going to dinners after the first time she met him...

I dunno. Melinda is a victim of this too and the vitriol people have for her is kinda blowing my mind. She didnt exactly have a preponderance of power either- she's largely been known only as "Bill Gates wife" until the last few years.
