Of course I’ve noticed the steady and obvious uptick in stories about the Duchess of Sussex (negative stories) and the Duchess of Cambridge (positive stories). Once again, the palace is being super-obvious and at least one royal house (House Keen) is playing along with the Deflection Game. The idea is that if the royal reporters just continue to focus 95% of their efforts on embiggening and/or smearing, no one will talk about how Prince Andrew is a criminal, a rapist and a co-conspirator to human trafficking. So, did you know that Ghislaine Maxwell probably has a stash of Epstein’s old blackmail material and it probably included Prince Andrew? Of course.
Accused Jeffrey Epstein procuress Ghislaine Maxwell will use her secret stockpile of the late pedophile’s sex tapes as an insurance policy to save herself from federal charges, her friend said in a new report. Christopher Mason, a TV host and journalist who has known Maxwell since the 1980s, has said he was told that Epstein rigged his multiple homes with cameras and kept surveillance tapes of everyone and everything that went on in them. Mason said she has access to the potentially compromising tapes. And now, Maxwell’s former pal told the Daily Mail that she will use those recordings as a way to beat the rap.
“Ghislaine has always been as cunning as they come. She wasn’t going to be with Epstein all those years and not have some insurance,” the ex-friend told the news outlet. “The secret stash of sex tapes I believe Ghislaine has squirreled away could end up being her get-out-of-jail card if the authorities are willing to trade. She has copies of everything Epstein had. They could implicate some twisted movers and shakers,” the former friend said. “If Ghislaine goes down, she’s going to take the whole damn lot of them with her.”
The source continued: “Not only did Epstein like to capture himself with underage girls on camera, he wanted to make sure he had something to hold over the rich and powerful men who took advantage of his sick largesse. I’ll bet anything that once it comes out that Ghislaine has those tapes, these men will be quaking in their Italian leather boots. Ghislaine made sure that she socked away thumb drives of it all. She knows where all the bodies are buried and she’ll use whatever she had to save her own a—.”
Again, I have no doubt. Ever since last year, when the crop of reporting around Epstein’s criminal enterprise really picked up steam, I believed that Epstein not only kept a huge stash of blackmail material, I also believe he used it. The origin of his fortune doesn’t make sense any other way – I believe his empire was literally built on pedophilia, rape, human trafficking and blackmail. And Maxwell was something like his chief operating officer, and of course she kept copies of everything.
So what of Andrew? Sources tell the Telegraph that Andrew is “agonizing” over whether to formally condemn Ghislaine, which… I mean, that’s just funny. There’s this Richard Kay piece at the Daily Mail where Kay tries to pretend like the palace is equally upset at Prince Harry AND Prince Andrew, and even Kay can’t keep up the charade. Then there was an interview with Laura Goldman, who claimed to be good friends with Ghislaine – Goldman said this about Andrew:
Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, Laura Goldman was asked how much the duke knew about the convicted paedophile’s actions. She replied: ‘Prince Andrew doesn’t know a lot. Partially because he’s not that intelligent, and he is spoiled and entitled so he didn’t really ask questions about what was happening.’
I mean, being stupid and pampered by one’s mummy is not an actual defense for rape and human trafficking. I’m not even sure about Goldman’s whole interview either – she basically said that Maxwell was Epstein’s victim too and that Epstein wouldn’t let Maxwell leave? Please. Maxwell abused those girls too and she did all of it willingly. As did Andrew. That being said, I do believe Andrew is a complete moron and an entitled narcissist. I also believe he’s a rapist.

I have a feeling maxwell will name Andrew as a scapegoat in order to distract the world about the other people involved. Too many powerful people are involved. They’ll offer one of their own as a sacrifice and it looks like it’s going to be Andrew.
The queen is holding on to him for dear life but I could see this happening. He’s high profile enough but not too high on the totem pole. I feel like he offered himself up with that horrible interview.
I really want him to be named. I’m not sure much will come of it but I hope that at least we will find out more about his involvement. I am worried that She will stay quiet though. Who knows what deals have already been set up to buy her silence. Perhaps it will rest upon who gives her the best deal
it honestly depends on the people who wanted epstein dead. Epstein was a much larger threat than this woman. He seems to be more connected to the sharks in this entire operation. She seems to be the middleman for kidnapping and trafficking these girls and bringing them to Epstein (from what I’ve read). I’m a bit more hopeful on maxwell than I was with epstein.
I’m with you, jess. Epstein doesn’t seem the type to put all his eggs in one basket. I don’t believe she has copies of everything Epstein did. He just wasn’t that stupid. A lot of info? Sure, I buy she has lots of info and tapes, but does not have everything Epstein did. And notice, his death did not release any info about anybody? Everyone said if he died reporters and DAs would all be getting info letters from Epstein about his rapist pals. Instead we got radio silence.
Are they trying to pull a Affluenza kid much? except, Andrew is a grown ass MAN!
I mean, it does say a lot about Betty, yes? The only child she is reported to have had a greater relationship than the occasional shaking hands when returning from vacation is scum? the only child she really paid attention to and loved the most has turned out to be a legit, certified, sexual predator?
I hate to blame the mom, but in Andrew’s case, I totally 100% completely blame the mom.
I mean, if Andrew’s best defense is that he is stupid, entitled and arrogant – that’s really not a great defense. Especially since according to Virginia, he asked how old she was, so he KNEW she was young.
Queen must be freaking out.
Ugh!
Hell yes she knows where those bodies are buried and I have no doubt in my mind she has insurance to cover herself. They must have put together plans to different scenarios. But sometimes people think they are above the law. So this will be interesting to see how it shakes out in the end.
PA is a sad sad man. As someone said yesterday, to be the richest woman’s favorite son and be considered a handsome (compared to the rest of the lot) naval pilot too. And he’s come to THIS.
This story about tape recordings reminds me of one I heard of Hugh Hefner. He had tapes of exploits and when he dies he buried them at sea or something so no one else could get to them and do damage to the people in them. I’m not saying Hugh was blackmailing, just that this story triggered that memory.
This was what I was talking about yesterday- this ridiculous defence of Andrew being too dumb. Yes I know Windsors and Andrew especially aren’t known to be bright but this being pushed is pretty foul like trying to make Andrew someone who just got ‘involved with the wrong crowd’. And don’t know why this friend of an accused sex offender is being given so much airtime anyway.
“Andrew is not that intelligent, is spoiled and entitled”. And in other news, water is wet.
Exactly, I think we knew that, right? Throw in extremely arrogant too.
That was what I thought too – and, no, it doesn’t make him any less guilty. He might be dumb, be he’s not mentally impaired to the extent that he cannot be held accountable for his actions.
C’mon Ghis, do one half decent thing in your wretched life and drop the names of these predators. Let the bodies hit the floor!!
And I read she was “In love with Jeffrey. Wanted to marry him”. WTF, is she brain damaged????
She won’t do the right thing. She will do whatever it takes to stay out of jail and keep her millions of dollars. If she has to take down a bunch of creeps to do it, she will.
Why is a friend of ghislaine seen as a credible source? It’s not like ghislaine was unknown until recently, we’ve known she’s as despicable as Epstein for years now. This friend had to have known that too and yet had/has no problems publicly callling themselves her friend. Why kind of person has no problem doing that?!
I feel like this is all being made up. I don’t think there IS any friend. They are planting stories about Prince Andrew to divert attention from much bigger names. Maybe the biggest of all, currently.
Clarification: Not that Virginia made up the stories about Andrew raping her – I believe it 100%. He’s a rapist. But that powerful people are making up this bs about Maxwell’s big bargaining chip is tapes on Prince Andrew. It’s not. Not by a long shot.
The headline says it all, no?
Except for the following… criminal behavior, victimizing others, morally bankrupt, entitled to the nth degree, etc.
Who the F is the women “friend of G?”
So, tons of people knew what Epstein and Maxwell were doing and they kept quiet too?
Friend of G..piss off! WTH! Q: Why would you ever associate with either of them? A: Money.
Sickening. All of them.
I am a working person, and I am OK with being just that, I have no stomach for these money and power worshipping criminals. Victimizing others is evil.
Jail time at once. Justice for the victims.
Honestly, I’m worried that all of this information is coming out about what deal she is making. This sounds like a warning shot to those involved (ie LOOK FOR FLASH DRIVES, THERE ARE COPIES). I’d prefer to hear when she has turned over the flash drives and how many others are now implicated…
Yeah, none of these are mutually exclusive statements. Being unbelievably stupid and spoiled does not mean you are not also a rapist pedophile. Being damaged by mental/emotional abuse from Epstein does not negate your accountability for your own actions.
I am so glad someone finally called Maxwell a rapist and pedophile. Every story around this Monster makes it seem like she is still a victim herself and she never raped this children. She did and it will not surprise me if there are tapes of it to prove it.
Why is the MSM focused on Prince Andrew? What are they diverting attention from with this constant stream of Prince Andrew stories? You’d think he was the only man who ever partook in this with Epstein. He’s not even the most famous one, by far, AND he’s so far from the most powerful one. This all stinks.
I’m not sure what you mean by this @Darla? Prince Andrew is the one who had a whole TV interview about his involvement with Epstein and claimed it was a “positive thing” because he met so many influential people. Now that the heat is on he wants to run and hide. And to me it looks like the U.K. press is talking about everything but Prince Andrew; ahem Harry, ahem Meghan.
Darla is saying that bringing up Andrew is a distraction from bigger fish, like allegedly Trump, Clinton, etc. Andrew would be a big get, but not big like either of those two.
I don’t know that letting the existence of these tapes be known is the best idea for Maxwell, it gives too many with too much power the confirmation they need to ensure she doesn’t make it to her trial.
If there are tapes, they’re probably already in the custody of her lawyer if that’s her bargaining chip.
Suicide it too obvious, are we taking bets on when the “undiagnosed heart condition”, magnified by the stress of jail cause of death will take? I say 10 days. 😳🤷♀️🙄
Yeah, I’ll be shocked if she survives until trial.
“Not that intelligent, spoiled and entitled” describes any number of folks in that family including Mummy.
Exactly! If not by virtue of their “royal” birth, these people are below average. The whole idea of a monarchy is a farce.
I have no sympathy for HM because she IMO scapegoated the Sussexes to distract from the Andrew Scandal. ir tried to distract.
I’ve seen it suggested that Epstein was an arms dealer, a human trafficker and several other things. Makes sense to me if that is true.
I’m sure that he felt he was entitled to take whatever he wanted and that it was an “honor” for the girls to be with a prince. Sick.
Is the woman in the left of the bottom picture Melania? It looks like the same party and dress that she was wearing in the picture with Trump.
