Ghislaine Maxwell on Prince Andrew: ‘I consider him a dear friend, I care about him’

Ghislaine Maxwell gave an “interview” to the Mail on Sunday – the interview was through her lawyers, as in the MoS submitted questions to Maxwell’s lawyers, she answered and the lawyers provided her statements to the Mail. During her trial and as she served her sentence, Maxwell hasn’t “named names.” She’s not revealing who received the trafficked girls and women provided by herself and Jeffrey Epstein. She was the one who ran the trafficking operation, so she would know. The feds obviously believed that at some point, Maxwell would try to cut a deal. She hasn’t. I guess she thinks/knows it would be too dangerous. All of which means that in this interview, she only names three people: Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, and she doesn’t say anything about any criminal activity. Some highlights:

On Prince Andrew: ‘I feel so bad for him. Yes, I follow what is happening to him. He is paying such a price for the association [with Jeffrey Epstein]. I consider him a dear friend… I care about him.’ Quizzed on the denial by Andrew’s lawyers that they were close friends, Maxwell said: ‘I accept that this friendship could not survive my conviction.’

On the March 2001 photo of herself, Prince Andrew & Virginia Giuffre: ‘I don’t recognise that picture and I don’t believe it is a real picture. There’s so many things wrong with it. There is no original and there isn’t a true picture and there are that many other things besides that I cannot hardly get into… I don’t know how many points there are, but there are over 50 problems with the picture.’

Whether she & Andrew ever dated: ‘I have read and seen and heard and had reported to me so many monstrous inaccuracies that I can’t start to pick apart all of them. If I pick apart one and then don’t address all the others, it’s going to say, ‘Well, she said no to this, what about all those others?’ I’m not going to discuss anything of that nature until after the appeal.’

On Bill Clinton: ‘It was a special friendship, which continued over the years. We had lots in common. I feel bad that he is another victim, only because of his association [with Epstein].’

On Donald Trump: ‘I was very grateful when he wished me well. He got bad media for it, but he dared while others didn’t. It gave me a big boost.’

So her take is that the photo of herself, Andrew and Virginia is fake? It’s not like Virginia had it in her possession this whole time – it was part of the FBI files, which were buried for years. Virginia had to fight to get access to the photo. As for Clinton and Trump… gross. It feels like Ghislaine has information on Trump especially, it’s always felt that way. As soon as she was arrested, Trump’s AG Bill Barr made a quiet visit to her in jail. Shady shady shady.

Anyway, Prince Andrew’s people are bothered by Maxwell’s words, even though for years, Andrew’s argument was that he wasn’t even that close to Epstein, and that Andrew mainly knew Epstein from Ghislaine, who was a close friend. From the Mail:

Hours after the interview was published, Prince Andrew was spotted looking ashen faced while driving around the Windsor estate with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. And now friends of Andrew have suggested that Ms Maxwell’s comments ‘have not been very helpful’ for the Duke, who continues to shake off his own sex assault allegations following his decision to settle with Ms Giuffre in her US civil case. Prince Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.

One friend of the royal reportedly today told The Sun: ‘Receiving words of support from a convicted sex trafficker isn’t very helpful.’ The friend also reportedly told the paper that he needs Maxwell’s backing ‘like a hole in the head’.

For the love of God, Andrew used to date Ghislaine, they were close friends, they socialized together for years, she would stop by the Palace constantly. The jig is up, we know, Andrew.

    Lol translation Bitch better have my money. He needs to go to jail and so so alot of other people.

    • traci says:

      She put his ass on notice – she’s not going to talk about anything “until after the appeal.”

  2. Josephine says:

    the fact that this woman is still protecting a bunch of predators and pedophiles is disgusting. talk about a woman who very clearly hates all other women. what a vile creature.

    • kelleybelle says:

      Exactly, and still trying to claim the picture is fake?? With her grinning in the background? Sure, OK. Dopey bitch.

    • Betsy says:

      She is protecting them, but it’s not like she’s going to be able to get the list out from prison (nor would she want to; she strikes me as the kind of entitled crazy that thinks she’ll get out and go back to her crime life). I don’t think a lawyer would broadcast a list which means she’d have to have someone else come in which would be alerting.

      I’m more annoyed that the feds are protecting the pedophiles. Because I see things through a partisan lens I have the suspicion that it’s the right wingers who have infiltrated the FBI and DOJ and any other relevant agencies, much as we found out that the FBI, DOJ and USSS have all been infiltrated by right wingers who supported the GOP coup against America.

    • NotSoSocialB says:

      She, *herself,* was a predator and a pedophile. She SA’d the minors, as well.

    Ghislane is a master gaslighter.

    This feels like a Fredo’s kiss.

    • Selene says:

      Right, like she dug his hole deeper. All of them, actually.

    • Redheadwriter says:

      Payments must be due to her offshore account and this is a reminder notice!

    • bettyrose says:

      Except, she also called out Trump & Clinton here. I’m mystified this woman is still breathing. I’ve never even question which one had Epstein offed. They all did.

  5. Southern Fried says:

    When is her book coming out? She can buy some yum canteen goodies, beef jerky, spam. Thank goodness there’s no underage woman to sexually abuse or pimp out.

    • Emily_C says:

      There are other women there though, including very young ones, for her to sexually abuse. It doesn’t only happen in men’s prisons.

  6. Emmi says:

    The thing is, she could name them all and I fear nothing would happen to anyone. She’s talking about Andrew and two former Presidents for god’s sake. Who else is there? I don’t even believe she still has access to compromising material, I’m sure it would all just be her testimony. People would just deny and move on. The moment Epstein died in prison, I lost all hope that this would ever be dragged into the public or even before a judge.

    This is why I don’t understand crazy conspiracy theories. THIS isn’t enough for people? We know the rich and powerful are horrible horrible people who do whatever the hell they want. There really is no need for GPS via vaccine or lizzard people or whatever.

    • bettyrose says:

      Trump, Clinton, and PA are out of reach. They will suffer no consequences. But as with Jan. 6th, plenty of minions can get taken down. People should be afraid, very afraid, just not the three of them.

  7. Eurydice says:

    Lol, I love the British capacity for understatement – “not helpful” indeed. You know who else isn’t going to be helpful? Charles.

  8. Casey says:

    Yuck!!!!! 🤢

  9. Kaye says:

    When we talk about Ghislaine and Andrew “dating,” we all know what that means.

    But I still get this mental picture of him driving up to her house (maybe in a carriage?), shaking hands with her dad and meeting her mom. Then Andrew and Ghislaine go out for a movie and a soda afterwards.

  10. lanne says:

    Someone should publish the picture of Ghislane and Kevin Spacey sitting on the Queen’s thrones in Buck palace. Not a close friend, indeed.

  11. Becks1 says:

    In the Newsnight interview, didn’t Andrew say that he was really good friends with ghislaine, and that was how he met Epstein, and he wasn’t really friends with Epstein but hung out with him because he was such good friends with Ghislaine, etc? But now the story is that he was barely friends with her?

  12. AmyB says:

    Gross! I feel like I need a shower after reading this 🤮

    Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

    No offense to actual dogs. Or actual fleas.
