Cameron Diaz Speaks Out Ahter Being Mentioned in Jecrey Epstein Documents

- By CORINNE HELLER

Cameron Diaz's rep issued a statement denying any connection between the actress and Jeffery Epstein after the star was mentioned in unsealed deposition from a settled lawsuit against his associate.

Cameron Diaz had no connection to late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein despite being mentioned by one of his former accusers of sexual abuse in newly unsealed court documents, the actress' rep says.

In the documents, as seen on Page Six, Johanna Sjoberg alleged in a deposition that the late @nancier spoke about his ties to several celebritie­s, noting that he engaged in "namedroppi­ng." She was asked if she met Diaz and she responded, "No."

"Cameron never met Jeffrey Epstein, nor was she ever in the same place as him or had any associatio­n with him whatsoever," the actress' rep said in a statement to multiple outlets

Jan. 5, "regardless of the fact he may or may not have mentioned her name or implied that he knew her."

The documents were unsealed by a federal judge as part of a settled civil defamation lawsuit that another accuser, Virginia Roberts Guiffre, had @led in 2015 against Epstein con@dante Ghislaine Maxwell, alleging she was a victim of sex tra(cking and abuse. Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for recruiting and grooming underage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein.

The late multimilli­onaire @nancier had socialized with many celebs, royalty, politician­s and businessme­n throughout his life. In 2008, he pleaded guilty to soliciting prostituti­on from a minor and served over a year in a jail work-release program.

In July 2019, he was arrested on charges of sex tra(cking of dozens of underage girls, some as young as 14, from at least 2002 to 2005. He pleaded not guilty.
