Jeffrey Epstein's vast network of influential friends and acquaintances is laid bare in a trove of 3 million files released last week, shedding light on his relationships with prominent figures across the US, UK, and around the world. Among these revelations are extraordinary details about Epstein's personal life, including his extensive contact with royalty, celebrities, and high-ranking politicians.
One of the most striking stories to emerge is that of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit, who appears to have had a close relationship with Epstein from 2011 to 2014. The files reveal that she exchanged flirtatious messages with him, describing him as "soft hearted" and "such a sweetheart". She even told him that he was "very charming", while also expressing concern about the propriety of certain interactions.
Epstein's network also includes Deepak Chopra, the renowned holistic healer and author. The files show that Epstein took great pride in improving his spiritual health, attending intimate dinner parties at Epstein's New York residence, where Woody Allen was present. Chopra attended 12 meetings with Epstein between 2016 and 2019 for "meditation and funding meetings" for alternative science health projects.
Another high-profile figure to emerge from the files is former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, who appears to have stayed in regular contact with Epstein after his conviction in 2008. The two men exchanged messages on topics ranging from geopolitics to mundane logistics, including a planned visit to New York in 2017.
The release of these files also sheds light on the personal life of Peter Mandelson, the former UK ambassador to the US. Mandelson had described Epstein as his "chief life adviser", and appeared to have sent him a draft of his memoir, The Third Man: Life at the heart of New Labour in May 2010. Epstein was concerned that the book's gossipy nature would damage Mandelson's potential for dealmaking in his post-political life.
In another surprising revelation, the files reveal that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, now known as Prince Andrew, had a close relationship with Irina, a Russian woman who was described by Epstein as "clever, beautiful, trustworthy and yes she has your email". The royal reportedly recognised that the woman might not be a close friend but still agreed to meet her.
The files also contain a trove of information about Epstein's personal habits and rules for his staff at his Florida mansion. The so-called "household manual" includes strict requirements such as keeping air conditioning at 60F, providing guns in bedside drawers, and requiring large quantities of tissues and toothpaste.
Finally, the release of these files raises questions about whether those who knew Epstein should have acted to prevent the abuse of vulnerable individuals. While some figures, like Prince Andrew, appear to have been unaware of Epstein's activities, others seem to have known more than they let on.
As one document from a businessman named Ian Osborne reveals, Woody Allen was invited to Downing Street for a meeting with David Cameron and Rohan Silva in 2011. The files suggest that this meeting may have been facilitated by Epstein himself.
In another surprising twist, the documents reveal a close relationship between Steve Bannon, former Trump adviser, and Epstein. Bannon appeared to advise on personal grooming, including the length of his beard, while Epstein provided him with high-end gifts.
Throughout these stories, it is clear that Epstein's vast network and influence have raised many questions about his activities and those who knew about them but chose not to act.

. I mean, Jeffrey Epstein was already known for being connected to some heavy hitters in the US, UK, and around the world, but this is just wild 
. The fact that Crown Princess Mette-Marit had a flirtatious relationship with him 
and even exchanged messages about his 'soft hearted' nature 
is just bizarre. And what's up with Woody Allen being part of these dinner parties 
? It's like, we already know he's been in some sketchy situations, but this is on a whole other level...
so like Crown Princess Mette-Marit was totally flirting with Epstein back in 2011 and he thought she was "such a sweetheart" 
but also she had some major concerns about his behavior which is kinda wild. And then there's Deepak Chopra who seems to have been all about that spiritual life with Epstein 
it's crazy how much they were hanging out at dinner parties and stuff. And what's up with Prince Andrew and the Russian woman Irina? Like did he even know she was a victim of Epstein or not? 
These files are like a big ol' plate of spaghetti - hard to untangle but kinda fascinating? I mean, who knew Crown Princess Mette-Marit was a fan of Jeffrey Epstein's "soft hearted" vibe? 
And Deepak Chopra attending dinner parties with Woody Allen? That's just... wow. It's like a Hollywood dream team (minus the talent).
And what about those who knew more than they let on? Shouldn't someone have stepped in to prevent some of the abuse that went down?
it's disgusting that ppl like prince andrew just brushed it off and moved on. and steve bannon, of all people, advising epstein on grooming lol what a whole thing. anyway, i think this release of files is super important for us to see how widespread the problem was and maybe hold some people accountable 
It's crazy to see how many influential people he had relationships with. And what's even more shocking is that some of these people knew about Epstein's activities but didn't do anything to stop it.
And don't even get me started on Deepak Chopra, dude was just using Epstein for his "spiritual health" meetings 
Can we please have a good ol' fashioned house cleaning of all these influential people's homes and see what other skeletons come out?! 
the files are definitely shedding light on some dark secrets...
Mette-Marit sounds like a total sweetheart, exchanging flirtatious messages with him and calling him "soft hearted". And then there's Deepak Chopra, who seemed to be into some pretty weird spirituality vibes. I'm not surprised he was at dinner parties with Woody Allen, though - that guy's got more baggage than the Titanic.
and Prince Andrew was just chillin' with some Russian chick 
idk how much more evidence we need that Epstein's network is sketchy 
these files are crazy
The fact that Mette-Marit was flirting with him is just wild 
Is it really that deep into spirituality and science?
