The billionaire Bill Gates has found himself in hot water this week. Indeed, explosive text messages have revealed that he allegedly “loved” the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In fact, Gates was reportedly so devoted to Epstein that he only stopped talking to him because his then-wife Melinda forced him to do so.
Gates Allegedly ‘Loved’ Epstein
In 2017, Epstein talked to a Gates adviser about a venture that never materialized. Indeed, it didn’t come to fruition partly because Gates’ wife banned him from speaking to Epstein.
“He wants to talk to you but his wife won’t let him,” Gates’ adviser told Epstein in a text obtained by CBS News.
The adviser allegedly went on to send a series of texts that read: “he loves you,” “he says hi,” and “he feels bad.”
“He thought great idea but his wife wouldn’t allow,” the Gates adviser added.
\Epstein responded by trying to change Gates’ mind. The convicted pedophile wrote that the former Barack Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler “would love to sit with Melinda and give her the other side of Jeffrey,” according to the texts.
Yikes!
Melinda ‘Did Not Like’ Gates Meeting With Epstein
Bill and Melinda Gates divorced in 2021 following 27 years of marriage. Afterwards, Melinda confirmed that her ex-husband’s friendship with Epstein, a convicted pedophile, played a major role in their split.
“I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein. I made that clear to him,” Melinda told Vanity Fair in 2022. She went on to claim that she met Epstein “exactly one time.”
Epstein died in prison, allegedly by suicide, in August of 2019. He was awaiting trial for various sex trafficking charges at the time. Three years later, Gates issued a statement in which he desperately tried to distance himself from Epstein.
“Meeting with Epstein was a mistake that I regret deeply. It was a substantial error in judgement,” Gates said in 2022.
“I remain dedicated to my work at the Gates Foundation in partnership with Melinda, where our focus is to help reduce global inequities, giving every person the chance to live a healthy and productive life,” he continued.
It should be noted that Gates pursued a friendship with this man even though Epstein had pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring a child for prostitution in Florida.
Epstein Allegedly Threatened Gates
This comes after Radar Online reported that Epstein threatened to reveal Gates’ alleged affair with Russian bridge player Mila Antonova in 2017. He reportedly made this threat after Gates refused to join his multibillion-dollar charitable fund.
Melinda seemingly referenced this in her memoir “The Next Day: Transitions, Change, and Moving Forward,” which was released back in April.
“Bill has publicly acknowledged that he wasn’t always faithful to me,” Melinda wrote. “That October, things had reached a fever pitch when The New York Times published a deeply disturbing article that raised serious questions about Bill’s conduct. Questions that suggested he had betrayed not only our marriage but also my values.”
Gates is just one of many powerful friends that Epstein had, with others including Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton. On Wednesday, Congress passed a bill to release the Epstein files by a vote of 427-1. It will certainly be interesting to see what other bombshells are revealed in these files, but needless to say, some very powerful people are shaking in their boots right now!
