Epstein: I support Time’s Up
Perv’s hypocrisy
Late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein stunningly claimed that he was a “firm believer and supporter” of the anti-sexualharassment Time’s Up movement, it’s revealed in an upcoming documentary.
In one of the last interviews Epstein gave before being busted on child-sex-trafficking charges girls in 2019, the multimillionaire financier told filmmaker Steve Bannon, “I made my living from old thinking. But the future is for the way women think.”
Bannon counters that Epstein’s claim was “a sop” to excuse “all of the depravity you’ve done against young women.”
“No, I’ve been — I’ve always believed that women will be, in fact, be able to take over,” Epstein responds.
With a straight face, the pervert adds: “I’m a firm believer and supporter of Time’s Up.”
The Time’s Up movement grew out of the avalanche of sexual-harassment allegations against various high-profile men in the wake of Pulitzer Prize-winning reports by The New York Times and The New Yorker about producer Harvey Weinstein, who’s now serving a 23-year prison sentence for rape and sexual abuse.
Last month, the entire board of the official Time’s Up organization — including TV producer Shonda Rhimes and actress Eva Longoria — resigned over a scandal involving advice its leaders gave then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo after he was accused of sexual harassment.
Epstein’s comments are contained in a two-minute trailer for “The Monsters” that’s being co-produced by Bannon, an adviser to ex-President Donald Trump.
The documentary explores the relationship between Epstein and international elites — based on hours of testimony from Epstein explaining how they worked together on research into “transhumanism,” the producers said.
During the interview, Epstein — who hanged himself in the his Manhattan cell — also discussed the impact of being locked up alone.
“The greatest threat to people put in solitary confinement is they try to kill themselves,” he said eerily. “Imagine that. You’re only in a room for 24 hours, you start to go crazy.”
Epstein, 66, was able to spend up to 12 hours a day outside his cell by holding lengthy meetings with his legal team.
He wasn’t on suicide watch when he killed himself, but two former correction officers agreed to perform community service to avoid prosecution for covering up their failure to periodically check on him, as required.
Epstein’s former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, is being held without bail on allegations she recruited underage girls — including one who was just 14 — for Epstein to abuse.
