Bill Gates says he 'regrets' knowing Epstein as ex-wife alludes to 'muck' in marriage

Bill Gates Regrets Knowing Epstein as Ex-Wife Reveals 'Muck' in Marriage

Bill Gates has publicly expressed regret over knowing Jeffrey Epstein, his ex-wife Melinda French Gates' comments suggesting that their marriage was marred by "muck". Gates stated this during a recent interview with Australian television channel 9News, where he denied allegations of hiding a sexually transmitted disease from his wife.

Gates and Epstein met in 2011 and had dinner together multiple times to discuss business ventures. However, the billionaire philanthropist maintains that his relationship with Epstein never led to any illicit activities or abuse. Gates described their interactions as "foolish" but claimed that they were not related to the severe abuse allegations surrounding Epstein.

Meanwhile, Gates' ex-wife Melinda French Gates has shared her own thoughts on the matter, describing it as a painful reminder of their troubled marriage. She stated that she had "moved on" from the relationship and was now in a happier place. French Gates expressed outrage over claims made against her husband, including allegations that he tried to secretly procure antibiotics for her.

The Epstein scandal has brought forth a wave of scrutiny on high-profile individuals who knew or interacted with the financier. The case serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of ignoring or downplaying abuse allegations and the devastating impact on victims.

French Gates' comments have added fuel to the fire, as Republican congresswoman Nancy Mace has called for Bill Gates to be subpoenaed by the House oversight committee investigating Epstein's activities. This development raises questions about the role of influential figures in shielding or enabling perpetrators of abuse.

As the investigation into Epstein's activities continues, it is essential to examine how high-profile individuals can facilitate or ignore abuse and the responsibility that comes with knowing or interacting with such individuals. The revelations surrounding Bill Gates' marriage to Melinda French Gates serve as a poignant reminder of the devastating consequences of ignoring or downplaying abuse allegations.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this 🀯... how could someone like Bill Gates, who's known for his philanthropy and commitment to making the world better, be associated with someone like Epstein, who was accused of horrific crimes? It's like, you're a part of one thing, and then you're a part of another. I'm not buying into the "foolish" narrative either... sounds like he's just trying to spin this to make himself look good πŸ™„. And what about Melinda French Gates saying their marriage was marred by "muck"? Ouch! That's some heavy stuff. It's making me think a lot more about how we hold people in power accountable for their actions. πŸ€”
 
I'm like "muck" – you know, all that gross stuff in my bathtub and then suddenly it's everywhere! πŸ˜‚ But seriously, I don't think Bill Gates is off the hook just because he says his dinner chats with Epstein were "foolish". I mean, come on, if a billionaire can't be bothered to check his ex-wife for a STD without getting caught, that's some messed up behavior right there 🀒. And what's with Melinda French Gates saying they had "muck" in their marriage? Sounds like she's trying to stir the pot – but honestly, I don't think we should be gossiping about someone else's messy divorce while ignoring the real issue at hand: Epstein's victims and how their abusers got away with it for so long πŸ˜”.
 
πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ just read about this and I'm like wow, 200+ meetings between Bill Gates and Epstein is just crazy 🀯 did some quick research and it turns out they met like 11 times btw πŸ‘€ also, did you know that Epstein's private jet flew over 2.5 million miles before his death πŸš€ that's like circling the Earth like 100 times 🌎

anyway, stats say that 1 in 4 women experience some form of abuse, and it's only getting worse 🚨 here are some numbers from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence:

* 1.3 million adults in the US experienced physical intimate partner violence
* 83% of women who experienced physical intimate partner violence had been in an abusive relationship for at least 2 years
* 65% of women who experienced physical intimate partner violence were physically injured during the assault πŸš‘

these numbers are like, mind-blowing 🀯 and it's only going to get worse if we don't start taking action πŸ’ͺ
 
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s really messed up how Melinda is still talking about Bill’s past, like she knows all this stuff now. πŸ€” I mean, didn't their divorce make her an ex-wife? Shouldn’t they be done with that? It feels like she's trying to get back at him or something. I don’t know, it just seems like a weird way for her to deal with things. And what’s with the whole thing about Bill denying he hid any STIs from her? Like, isn't that kinda between them? Can’t they just leave each other alone? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ The Epstein scandal is already bad enough without Bill and Melinda getting all caught up in it again.
 
πŸ€” y'all gotta wonder how many ppl know someone who's done some shady stuff and think its no big deal... like, i get that Bill was trying to make connections for his business but didnt do his due diligence πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ. Melinda's comments tho, she spoke truth, it's painful to see the "muck" in their marriage still haunting her πŸ’”. This whole Epstein scandal is a mess and its not just about him, its about how many ppl knew him and enabled his behavior πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. We gotta hold ppl accountable and take responsibility for knowing someone who's done some harm πŸš«πŸ’―
 
I feel so bad for Bill & Melinda's marriage πŸ€•. It sounds like they had some serious issues going on and now we're finding out more about their time with Epstein... it's just a really sad reminder that sometimes people who are powerful/ wealthy/ influential can enable or ignore abuse 🚫. I'm not surprised Nancy Mace is calling for him to be subpoenaed, the whole situation stinks 🀒. How could someone not take allegations of abuse seriously? The Epstein scandal is definitely exposing some dark secrets and it's time we hold people accountable πŸ’Ό
 
It's kinda wild that Bill Gates is now regretting knowing Epstein πŸ€”. I mean, we've all seen what Epstein was capable of, and it's not like he was some fly-by-night thing. He had connections to tons of high-profile people, which makes this whole situation even more messed up 🚫.

I think Melinda French Gates' comments are totally reasonable, though - it's clear that their marriage was pretty rocky πŸ’”. But at the same time, I feel bad for her having to go through all this pain and trauma again πŸ˜•. It's like, yeah, we get it, Bill had some stupid dinner parties with Epstein 🍴, but that doesn't excuse anything.

The thing that bothers me is how this whole situation highlights the role of powerful people in enabling or shielding abusers πŸ‘₯. If someone like Bill Gates can be scrutinized for knowing Epstein, what about all the others who knew him? Did they know something we don't? It's like, we need to have these kinds of conversations and hold everyone accountable 🀝.

Anyway, I'm just gonna say that this whole thing is super complex and nuanced, but one thing's for sure - it's not okay to downplay or ignore abuse allegations πŸ’―.
 
I'm shocked Bill Gates would admit regret over knowing Epstein 🀯. Considering his vast resources & influence, he could've done more to prevent Epstein's abuse πŸ€‘. According to recent stats, 1 in 5 women have experienced sexual harassment at work, and 1 in 7 will experience some form of physical or sexual violence by age 18 βš–οΈ. These numbers are alarming! Here's a chart showing the prevalence of reported intimate partner violence (IPV) in the US:

[chart: 15% of women experienced IPV; 85% were female, and median number of incidents was 4]

Gates' admission comes with some serious questions about accountability & responsibility πŸ€”. According to a study published last year, 67% of victims of abuse know their perpetrator πŸ”. This raises concerns about high-profile individuals enabling or shielding abusers, which is reflected in the rising calls for Gates to be subpoenaed πŸ“°.

Meanwhile, Bill's philanthropic efforts have been widely praised & scrutinized 🌟. According to a report released last year, his foundation donated $1.8 billion to global health initiatives in 2020 πŸ’Έ. However, some critics argue that his wealth & influence can sometimes overshadow his charitable work πŸ’”.
 
I feel bad for Melinda, she's been through so much already πŸ€•. I don't think Bill's regret about knowing Epstein is really about what happened between them, it's more about how it reflects on his marriage and the fact that he's a public figure who can get scrutinized for everything he does. It's like, he's human too, right? He made mistakes, but we're all still holding him to this super high standard πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. I don't think it's fair to call him out over this just yet - we need more context and facts before we start judging his character. And let's be real, Melinda's comments about the "muck" in their marriage are kinda harsh, even if she is trying to process some painful stuff πŸ’”. I'm all for accountability, but let's not rush to judgment just yet 🀐.
 
I'm genuinely shocked Bill Gates never came clean about his friendship with Epstein sooner 🀯. It's not like this is a secret nobody knew about, but at the same time, I guess he did say they had "foolish" dinner conversations... whatever that means 🍴. Anyway, Melinda French Gates seems super hurt by all this and rightfully so - her marriage was clearly marred by some major red flags πŸ”₯. But can we talk about how much more scrutiny Bill Gates is getting now compared to when his ex-wife was hiding the truth? I mean, he's still a billionaire philanthropist but at least Melinda has spoken out πŸ—£οΈ. It's like the tables have turned...
 
ugh, this just gets worse πŸ€• bill gates thinks he can just play dumb about his friendship with epstein? like, come on man... melinda's comments are super telling tho - she's clearly still hurting from their toxic marriage πŸ’” and now her hubby's in the hot seat because of it. what a mess... i mean, you'd think that people in power would be more aware of the consequences of ignoring abuse allegations, but it just seems like we're always hearing about these high-profile scandals lately 🚨
 
🚨🀯 Just saw this article about Bill Gates and Epstein... I mean, 4 years after Epstein's death, it still blows my mind how many powerful ppl knew him and didn't report anything... Like, did they not see the red flags? 🧐 Did they just choose to ignore it because of who he was? πŸ€‘ The stats on Epstein's victims are devastating - over 300+ reported cases of abuse... and we're still finding out more about what went down. πŸ“Š According to a study by the Polaris Project, there were 156 reports of suspected human trafficking in the US between 2001-2018... and only 0.3% led to federal investigations. 🚫 That's like 4 people out of 100,000 cases that actually got looked into! 🀯 The number of ppl who knew Epstein and didn't report him is staggering - from Donald Trump to Prince Andrew... it's a whole list of high-profile individuals who are still under scrutiny today. πŸ’”
 
πŸ€” I think it's wild that Bill Gates is only now speaking out about regretting his relationship with Epstein, considering he was married to Melinda at the time... like what was she supposed to do? πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ It also makes me wonder if there were more to their story than we know. Maybe they were in denial or something. I'm not saying Bill did anything wrong, but it's clear that he didn't think twice about hanging out with Epstein despite all the allegations. πŸ’”
 
Ugh, I'm not surprised Melinda French Gates is speaking out now πŸ™„... it's just more ammo for her husband's PR team to try and salvage his reputation. And let's be real, Bill's "regret" over knowing Epstein is probably just a PR stunt to make himself look less guilty πŸ˜’. I mean, come on, they had dinner together multiple times? That's some suspicious behavior right there πŸ€”. And now she's going on about how painful it was for her... yeah, sure, because that's exactly what we want to hear from a woman who just walked away from a marriage with a man accused of abuse πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. This whole thing is just a mess, and I'm not buying any of it πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ.
 
OMG u guys i cant even i just read about billy gates regretting knowin epstein and his wife melindas comments are EVERYTHING like she said their marraige was messed up by "muck" idk wut that means but its def not good news πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ meanwhile billy claims he never did nothin wrong but melinda says he tried to get her antibiotics without prescripion thats wild 🀯 and now theres talk of him bein subpoenaed by the house oversight committee lol only in america right? πŸ’β€β™€οΈ anyway this is def a dark day for billy gates and his rep.
 
omg i'm so salty about this 🀯 bill gates has been my idol for ages and now it turns out he had dinner with epstein like 5 times πŸ΄πŸ‘€ but honestly idk if i can still support him at all πŸ€” melinda french gates is literally the queen tho πŸ’β€β™€οΈ she's going through so much and then to have her husband's past come back and haunt her is just too much 😭 anyway, bill gates said he regrets knowing epstein but like what did you expect from a man who's been accused of hiding a STD from his wife 🀒 i mean, it's not the first time he's faced scrutiny over his behavior so maybe this is just another step in the right direction for him to grow up and be a better person 🀞 fingers crossed πŸ’•
 
πŸ€” Bill Gates has been dragged through the mud by his own ex-wife, what's next? He's not even denying he knew Epstein, that in itself is pretty sketchy 😏. I'm just saying if you're gonna be buddies with a pedophile, don't pretend like it doesn't have any repercussions on your marriage πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. His regret statement just comes across as BS, and Melinda's comments are totally justified, she knows a thing or two about what he's been hiding πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. The Epstein scandal is just a symptom of a bigger problem, the way we enable and shield powerful people who have done questionable things πŸ‘Š.
 
πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸš«πŸ’‰ Bill Gates should've just kept it on the DL, fam πŸ˜’. When you're trying to be a good guy philanthropper, but also got some shady connections πŸ€‘πŸ‘€. Now Melinda's all like "I had to move on" and we're over here like "girl, why'd you stay?" πŸ’β€β™€οΈπŸ”₯
 
I just found out about this thing and I gotta say, it's weird... Bill Gates is like super rich and influential, but he had some pretty shady connections with Jeffrey Epstein? πŸ€” Gates says he regrets knowing him, but his ex-wife Melinda thinks their marriage was pretty messed up. It's crazy to think about how much influence these people have and how they can get away with stuff. Like, if you're Bill Gates, can you just waltz into a dinner party with Epstein and then deny everything when it all goes down? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I don't know, man... it's like, what's the point of having power and influence if you're just gonna use it to hide your own mistakes? πŸ’Έ
