I was going to lead with a snide comment like "Amber Heard has entered the chat", but here's the thing... A close friend of mine got absolutely fucked over this way.

One day, out of the blue, his wife went psycho. Divorced him, accused him of abusing the kids, coached the kids to say they were abused, the works.

He lost custody, had court battle after court battle, dealt with the most evil, vile shit said about him, none of which was true.

When he attempted the court mandated visitation she would literally attack him and deny visitation. When he recorded her, she broke the video camera.

Then she up and died from a brain tumor.

He goes to court with the medical evidence for her bizarre behavior, and you'd think that would be it, right? Nope. Court tries to give custody of the kids to HER parents, who are of an age that they can't care for teenagers.

So her parents have to travel from 4 states away to testify that there's no evidence to support the accusations, that he should have custody of his kids.

Whole process took 7 or 8 years and he finally got custody just as one of his kids turned 18 and could do what they wanted anyway.

I’m sorry to hear that happened to your friend. I had a family member who went through uncharacteristic and risk taking behavior before they ultimately passed from a brain tumor. It happens and it is very confusing for everyone involved. Especially since that person, a very accomplished (decorated officer) intelligent person (genius IQ) randomly started on hard drugs, which just confused the situation further. We got them away from that life just in time to get them a diagnosis. The strain and chaos with that type of illness can be devastating.

That being said, I think the number of women in this case, and the context clues, are sufficient that we can conclude that this guy isn’t innocent. We have multiple different testimonies and his own words about young girls and his own daughter to conclude he was involved in that lifestyle at a time when he was high on money, power and a circle that was judgment free. He ran pageants in the 90’s which just… ewww. Also, I mean who calls Epstein at 5am in the morning and leaves messages? Not exactly normal operating hours. If he wasn’t insulated with limousines and a real estate empire this guy would have been drug through the mud in any podunk town for being a total creep. No one would be questioning when word came out, they’d be saying, “oh yeah, that guy, I can see it”
