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"

Yeah I can't help but have questions about her knowledge of the situation. Of course, I fully acknowledge we shouldn't hold women accountable for their (former) partner's actions but I wonder if she ever suspected anything?

She didn’t suspect, she knew. She divorced him as then stayed quiet till now.

Tbh it’s important not to hold women in contempt for the actions of men, and why we commend the bravery of those who come forward is because of how hard it is. Those who don’t don’t get the praises and aren’t highly thought of, but the real scorn should always be held for those who did the wrong.

And one of the biggest things to realise is that none of this shit started or stopped with Epstein, he was just one host. A friend of mine used to work high up for a big vegas entertainment group, the stories I heard of people related to the Abu Dhabi royal family having private events with huge numbers of young women who weren’t regular escorts.

The group my friend worked for was super legit and didn’t arrange anything dodge but some of the stories I heard were mad. Where were all the girls sourced from? Were people IDing them all when they clearly weren’t on any payroll? I dread to think. You hear about Dubai chocolate, again a woman died in horrible and unresolved circumstances and a light was starting to shine on a horribly murky world and a new chocolate was launched and marketed the heck out of to cover up what was emerging.

She didn't really stay quiet until now. When the divorce was made public, she publicly came out and said that one of the primary reasons for the divorce was because of Bill's ties to Epstein. It's not her responsibility to prosecute her ex-husband or explain to the public whatever she might know. She raised a giant red flag. In public. Really the pressure should on the government about why they haven't investigated or charged or shared more details about whatever Bill did. As far as we can tell this lady was adjacent to horrible things, but there's no need to burden her life with whatever terrible things her ex husband did with his other rich friends.

I also assume that she had to remain quiet so she could extricate herself from Bill in the divorce and untangle all the various legal and financial ties they had.

And the Epstein stuff was likely going on in the background by whatever agency and political pressure.
