Ok but if she knew about it and it's why the divorce why didn't she say shit, unless I'm missing something?
Their divorce process started when their youngest daughter turned 18, so it might be the usual "sticking to a toxic wasteland of a marriage for the children" delusion.
Obligatory Mad TV sketch
She may have had to sign an NDA for the divorce to go through.
Dunno why y'all are blaming her for shit. She wasn't the one involved with Epstein.
For a lot of (if not most) people, knowing about the heinous shit happening and doing nothing about it (at minimum trying to go public) is an issue nearly as bad as actually participating.
And maybe people have forgotten how to use their critical thinking skills first before jumping on the blame bandwagon.
If you think she was clueless to what's going on, then say it.
Take a stance.
I think you're clueless about real life.
You must've been born yesterday.
Your account is literally a day old lmao
Not blaming,and an NDA to cover illegal shit is enforceable?
I'm not from USA, I don't know how NDAs work there?
No an NDA can't cover withholding information about a crime. Asking someone to not divulge information under an NDA pertaining to a crime, is in itself a crime/an unenforceable nda
The emails don't seem to allege any crimes by Bill Gates, there's nothing about the island etc., it just seems to be alluding to an affair with a Russian woman which already came out a couple years ago, that Epstein knew about and was trying to blackmail Gates about. Unethical but not actually criminal activity on Gates' part. Possible that could be covered by an NDA since it wasn't publicly known yet when they split.
If the NDA used generic language, ie: spouse is barred from sharing any private conversations or information shared within the marriage, it may be covered ... but IANAL so ...
How do you see that playing out?
Subject A says, "Ron told me he committed a crime"
Subject B says "I'm suing you for divulging information that should be covered by the NDA"
It would be admitting that the statement occurred. Thus now the entire NDA is void, and those court records can be used as testimony in a criminal investigation.
Do you actually think Billy Boy sat her down and confessed to fucking teenagers????
Jfc buddy. Use your brain. If anything he had to tell her he caught an STD so she would have to go have it taken care of. For most women that would be the last straw ... marriage done.
Keep in mind, OP literally pulled the "NDA" thing out of his ass.
If you don't specify pronouns there is no way for anyone to know your gender on an Internet forum, so your derogatory animosity comes across as particularly petty.
There are generic terms which can be used, ie: buddy.
No one thinks about that on an Internet forum and policing that seems incredibly petty. Especially when you do it by calling someone a dipshit.
Unless you go out of the way to tell people what pronouns you want, then don't be upset when people pick one.
at least dipshit is unisex
"My pronouns are dipshit/buddy"? One complimentary, the other derogatory. These are neopronouns I can get behind 100%.
America is covered with them. Iirc California is the only state to have banned them.
People aren't blaming her for anything. If all she knew was that she was being cheated on because she suddenly got an STD, that's one thing. What they're saying is, if she knew about Bill going to Epstein to rape children, then she'd be complicit.
An NDA doesn't prevent you from reporting crimes to the relevant authorities. This woman was very much part of the system. She deserves credit for getting out but she's by no means an angel.
We don't know if she had any information about crimes, or whether she went to the authorities ffs
Agreed - and who knows how much she actually knew, I highly doubt she knew everything and just the cherry picked version her ex gave her.
Leaving a marriage, especially an abusive (speculation here) one, and especially when you’re raising children, and (yes one more) especially to someone as rich as he is no easy, simple, or fast task.
TIL you can sign NDAs for divorces
She knew what was happening and didn't tell us.
Don't be a fool.
I believe that she divorced him after the Epstein thing first blew up and it was because of that.
Well, that and maybe the STD Bill gave her .
she probably knew or at least highly suspected he was involved. his "charity initiative" always seemed disengenious.
I mean he's pretty heavily involved in charitable giving. It doesn't seem surprising to me he would try to get some charity money out of Epstein. Maybe ill-advised because Epstein doesn't seem like he was a charitable type..
Because money?
