Celebrities Do Damage Control, Explain Epstein Files Mentions
Some pretty big names were already previously linked to Jeffrey Epstein, including former President Bill Clinton. However, the newly released files contained thousands of email correspondences between Jeffrey Epstein and high-profile figures. Your favorite celebrity was possibly mentioned in the emails.
Several celebrities, including The View host Whoopi Goldberg, scrambled to explain their inclusion in the files. None of the emails, so far, revealed any illegal behavior. However, the fallout from even having a connection to Jeffrey Epstein is ongoing.
CBS News Correspondent Named In Files Thousands Of Times
Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal s*x trafficking charges. He was previously convicted in 2008 of soliciting prostitution from a minor. Many victims have come forward alleging that they were assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies on the private island the millionaire owned.
Disgraced Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his title in 2025, was arrested in the United Kingdom earlier this month for “misconduct in a public office” for his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. However, the charges stem from allegedly revealing government secrets, not from his alleged treatment of underage girls.
The former Prince was the first arrest related to the Epstein files. However, several high-profile business executives in the U.S. have resigned amid their scandalous emails. Celebrity doctor Peter Attia, an expert in living longer, was mentioned 1,700 times in the 3 million documents.
He was let go from his CBS News correspondent job weeks after he issued a public apology for his tawdry emails to Jeffrey Epstein.
