Melinda Gates Throws Ex-Husband Bill Under the Bus Over Epstein: ‘I Hope There’s Justice’
by Frank Bergman
Melinda Gates publicly distanced herself from her former husband, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, following the latest release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.
As Slay News previously reported, the latest Epstein Files include explosive allegations about Bill Gates’s conduct during their marriage.
Speaking Tuesday on NPR’s “Wild Card podcast,” the 61-year-old philanthropist said the newly released Epstein files were deeply disturbing and insisted that those named in the documents, including her ex-husband, must answer for what has come to light.
“I think we’re having a reckoning as a society, right?” Melinda said.
“No girl, no girl should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and whatever was going on with all of the various people around him.
“It’s beyond heartbreaking.”
She added that the revelations hit close to home.
“I remember being those ages those girls were, I remember my daughters being those ages,” she said.
“So, for me, it’s personally hard whenever those details come up, right?
“Because it brings back memories of some very, very painful times in my marriage.”
Melinda then made clear she wants no part of the fallout surrounding the Epstein disclosures.
“I purposely pushed it away, and I moved on,” she said.
When asked how the allegations involving Bill Gates made her feel personally, Melinda responded bluntly.
“Sad,” she replied.
“Just unbelievable sadness.
“Unbelievable sadness.”
“I hope there’s some justice,” she added.
