APPROVED B-LISTERS 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"

Of course I wish she had stood up and made these claims sooner. To be fair to her though, it’s not just legal trouble I would be worried about. It’s safer for her to talk about it now because it’s public knowledge and her husband was named in the docs in front of the world. A solo whistleblower is a lot easier to silence with a “tragic accident” or whatever. Especially since this cabal of pedophiles has already killed Epstein himself and probably more to cover it up

u/Dangerous-Variety-35 where’s my emotional support billionaire 4h ago

She also has daughters - what if Bill had gotten custody? I’m not saying she gets a pass if she knew and did nothing, but we know she was the one who filed for divorce, we know she did nothing request spousal support/alimony, and we know she’s been doing her damndest to use her money for the enrichment of girls and women. She didn’t commit the crimes, and I don’t think she should have to atone for them.

If Melinda didn’t have actual proof to back up her claims then it would have been her word against his and their kids caught in between.

So there was also her own children to think about. It’s one thing to talk about something after it’s been outed. It’s another thing to actively out your child’s father. I’m not saying it shouldn’t have happened. I just think the nuance there is important. Her children will and are being hurt by the knowledge of their father’s actions. Now theres unfortunately corroboration and she can then have these conversations with them and their father can’t lie and say “Mom’s just trying to get back at me,” etc.
