Melinda Gates ‘heartbroken’ over husband’s philandering, ties to Epstein
Bill Gates, you might have heard from the Epstein files, according to allegations in an email that Epstein sent himself apparently meant as a draft of a future blackmail letter, got himself infected with an STD from a Russian prostitute and subsequently approached Epstein for pharmaceutical prophylactics that he could surreptitiously slip his now ex-wife, Melinda, so she wouldn’t be any hip to his dirty deeds.
In a recent TMZ interview, here’s what she had to say on the email dump:
I think we're having a reckoning as a society, right? 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, right? I remember being those ages those girls were. I remember my daughters being those ages.
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…
I purposely pushed it away and I moved on. I'm in a really unexpected, beautiful place in my life. So whatever questions remain there of what, I don't, can't even begin to know all of it, those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband.
And I’m so happy to be away from all the muck.

What is even the value of this spiel?
Is there any point aside from showcasing Melinda’s obvious moral superiority, her deep well of empathy and goodness?

This woman’s former husband has been a first-class sociopath, probably since the day he was shot out of his mother’s birth canal after having been immaculately conceived by his father, Satan — it seems like an inborn thing — but definitely at least since the day they got married.
These people were married for 27 years from 1994 to 2021. Through all of the scandals, Melinda stuck by her man even while he visited Epstein’s pedo island multiple times and profiteered off of Moderna’s so-called “vaccine” (not really a vaccine) that never prevented transmission of the virus and potentially killed millions of people (a massive scandal which she has never bothered to address publicly).

This woman knows where all the proverbial and possibly literal bodies are buried. She knows all of the Gates family’s dirty secrets, many of which are surely illegal activities that would land any normal non-Epstein-class-billionaire in prison for a very long time.
There exists no plausible scenario in which she didn’t know what kind of filth her ex-husband committed both on and off that island.
Yet, instead of offering any novel, useful, actionable information whatsoever, all she had to offer TMZ was vague platitudes about how “heartbroken” she is, providing no specifics whatsoever implicating anyone in any criminality, which is one of the ways you know this whole speech was crafted by some publicist.
For 24 years, she stayed with him — if we’re being cynical, just long enough to earn herself a fat share of his fortune in divorce court.
What does this woman want, a cookie?
There are only two possible scenarios.
Either:
- She married the monster, knowing full well what he was, in order to access his wealth and social status and divorced him as soon as it became maximally beneficial for her (the more likely scenario), or
- She is literally the dumbest non-clinically-handicapped person on Earth whose husband engaged in mass criminality for decades right under her stupid nose — in which case, what is the utility of listening to this woman, and why is she on television?
