The philanthropist always saw Epstein for who he really was – despite his meetings with her then husband Bill Gates. Now carving out a life on her own terms, she explains why she’s focused on the fight for women’s health

    For the record, Gates did NOT go to the island, ever. Not even once.

    He was a frequent guest at Epstein’s Manhattan penthouse, but never the island. He refuses to say why he never went to the island, other than saying it’s not for him. It is rumored he caught an STD from someone at the penthouse.

    None of this excuses Gates, since he clearly associated with Epstein. Just correcting the record on a detail.

      The rumor came from an email written by Epstein himself, so it’s either a malicious rumor or a fact.

        In his opening statement, Gates did not address any travel on Epstein’s plane, but said he never went to Epstein’s island, ranch or Florida home.

        So now that Gates denies it, the burden of proof is on everyone else to provide evidence that he was on the island.

          considering i am not a courthouse, nor will this case ever see the inside of one, i disagree with your premise.

          im glad we have a lying pedophiles word that he never went to pedophile island.

            Wait a second, we have no proof that you didn’t go to Epstein island.

              We don’t need proof. There is no indication he knew Epstein or that he even is part of the class that could visit the island.
