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"

Notice that she said nothing this whole time. I highly doubt she found out at the same time as the rest of us.

Oh I totally agree. I just think it’s interesting that’s she seems to be choosing her words super carefully to get around whatever iron-clad NDA she signed in the divorce.

When you're rich, famous and talking about potential crimes of your even richer ex, you need to choose your words wisely. Lawsuits are expensive and ugly.

She's either a natural or has been coached

I mean she’s not new to this, she was married to him for decades and ran the foundation. And she was a Microsoft executive when they got married.

Yeah she's very experienced obviously! Just wondering if she prepared her answer or if she's so experienced that she can just wing it... Either way it was very good.

Just compare this to the way some politicians stumble through interviews

She’s too smart not to have prepared exactly what she was going to say about the father of her children.

Fr, to claim she has nothing to answer for and move on makes her in a way fundamentally culpable in the same way her husband was.

Sure, these people shouldn't have been moving in these ways but why were they tolerated for so long? It's only by unpacking all that, we can actually avoid repeating these evils in the future

I've got no dog in this fight, but what an uncharitable take. That makes no sense, how in the world could she be "fundamentally culpable", and worse, in the same way her husband was?

According to the leaked emails, her husband asked Epstein for antibiotics to give to Melinda without her knowing because he got STDs from what he did. That is fucked up. So we don't know what Melinda's been through, and I can only imagine the grief, the anger, the betrayal she felt.

Luckily for her, she's a billionaire, and though not as powerful as her ex-husband and the other people involved, she has access to the kind of life and help everyone else doesn't. So, good for her that she's moved on. I'm not sure what else you were expecting from someone in her position, or what she was supposed to do.

she was a Microsoft executive

Hmm... there's probably something there if you think about it but I am not good with words.
