Epstein ‘Wanted Sarah Ferguson to Release Statement Saying He Wasn’t a Pedo’
Emails show Epstein sought to control narrative by having Sarah Ferguson deny abuse claims and blame others, with publicist drafts and legal pressure detailed in DOJ documents.
- On Friday, the US Department of Justice released emails showing Epstein asked publicist Mike Sitrick in March 2011 to `draft a statement that in an ideal world Fergie would put out` and claimed `Fergie can now say, I am not a pedo..`
- After Epstein's 2008 conviction, messages said `She was DUPED into believeing false stories, by Civil Plaintiffs Attorneys from Florida`, and advisers discussed escalating to a `draft defamation lawsuit`.
- Sarah Ferguson wrote in 2009 that Epstein said she could organize tea in Buckingham Palace apartments or Windsor Castle, and Epstein asked in July 2010 if her daughters could say hello; she responded that Beatrice was with her father and Eugie was away with a boyfriend.
- Last year, several charities severed ties with Sarah Ferguson after she apologized to Epstein in April 2011, and she was criticized for writing to him after his conviction. The files also include images raising questions about Prince Andrew's connection to Epstein.
- Amid broader scrutiny, Jeffrey Epstein paid millions to Ms Giuffre to settle a civil sexual assault claim in 2022, amplified by her posthumous memoir and document releases.
