In an interview with NPR's "Wild Card" podcast, French Gates addressed the Department of Justice's most recent disclosure of millions of pages of Epstein-related materials, including shocking draft emails from 2013 in which Epstein made lurid allegations about Gates. One draft accused the billionaire of contracting a sexually transmitted infection from encounters with "Russian girls" and seeking antibiotics that he could administer to his then-wife without her knowledge.
A spokesperson for Bill Gates dismissed the allegations as "absolutely absurd and completely false," attributing them to Epstein's frustration over the end of their relationship and efforts to defame the Microsoft co-founder.
French Gates, who shares three children with Gates and now leads her own initiative, Pivotal Ventures, spoke about the societal reckoning over Epstein's exploitation of young women and his connections to powerful figures.
"No girl, no girl should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and whatever was going on with all of the various people around him," she told NPR. "It's beyond heartbreaking, right? I remember being those ages those girls were, I remember my daughters being those ages."
French Gates went on to describe the details in the Epstein files as personally difficult, stirring recollections of "some very, very painful times in my marriage," though she claimed having moved on.
"Whatever questions remain there — of what I don't, can't even begin to know all of it — those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband. They need to answer to those things, not me. And I am so happy to be away from all the muck that was there."
Gates has expressed remorse over his decision to associate with Epstein, beginning around 2011, years after Epstein's 2008 conviction, as a "huge mistake" pursued in hopes of securing philanthropic funding. The Microsoft founder has denied any involvement in Epstein's criminal activities.

The correct response would have been to just say it was horrific and to have meant it. Instead it's evidently all staged performed to boost her image, raise her stocks, while her ex husbands image is in the trash.
In the video she also uses a lot of filler words like "right?" as if she's trying to convince herself of what she is saying. She is evidently so disconnected from the reality of her involvement, indirectly or otherwise, with Epstein through her ex husband and their shared "philanthropic" pursuits.
I guess we are getting a temporary glimpse into the mind of Western elites right now while their desperately attempt to do damage control to salvage their reputation and attempt to maintain the facade they are not completely psychopathic and predatory nut jobs and actually care about the society in which they live and claim to be helping through their "benevolence"
would involve less people)
My context, I don't trust Melinda. My conclusion, this is an attempt to distance herself from the evil perpetrated on children by Epstein and his "friends". Or Melinda has turned States evidence on the pedophile and money laundering ring.
This raises the question. Was Melinda involved in child abuse and sacrifice? We will find out maybe in the next round of Epstein files.
Maybe you reach a similar place when you become infinitely powerful and infinitely wealthy that you're really no different to a crack addicted bum on the streets begging for money because you think society owes you something and you don't have to take part in society like everyone else because you're "special"?
You find yourself asking the question - what is the difference between a low level psychopath who plays dark alleyway games and loses and a high level psychopath that plays at the world table and loses? None of these rich and powerful seem to be "winning" especially when there is an evident pathology at the root of everything they do.
If you put Bill Gates and a bum in the same room and swapped their clothes around and roughed Bill up while cleaned up the bum - what is the difference? The bum would go on to inflict the same amount of harm Bill has done globally just like Bill would lower himself to the level of the bum.
There seems to be a universality of deprivation that is met at both extremes, whether you live in the most deprived ghetto or the most lavish and exclusive gated community. The same shit is happening behind the scenes even though mainstream society and culture would have you believe different that it's only the poor and needy at the bottom of the ladder.
Funny (not literally) that you're more likely to find the lowest example of humanity behind multi million dollar compounds of some of the most powerful and wealthy than in some dilapidated cockroach infested shack in bumfuck nowhere
Partake thou also: happy though thou art,
Happier thou may'st be, worthier canst not be:
Taste this, and be henceforth among the Gods
Thyself a Goddess, not to Earth confined ."
The Gates believe that.
Let's hope that French tells us something we don't already know. I'm not going to hold my breath.
The amount of secrets that any one significantly wealthy and influential person must know would probably shock the average person but unlike the average person whose life and livelihood doesn't depend on holding the fort for some privileged position at the table, it's probably not as simple as just splurging all the gossip, not without consequences.
You're basically compromised the minute you get involved. I guess that's why most A list celebrities don't expose the sordid affairs that happen behind the facade of being a celebrity. Once you're in you're in. At the very top, like with Melinda whose now probably one of the most richest women in the world that probably just amplifies by a thousand so you can't so much as open your mouth without revealing that something stinks.
Best to stay well out of the way because as soon as you're shown to the public unless the "dialogue" is scripted you're probably going to expose that everything that puts you where you are today is built on darkness beyond comprehension
