Mega Edition: Billionaire Playboy's Club...A Memoir By Virginia Roberts (Part 6) (8/5/26) · Beyond The Horizon

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're picking up where we
0:06
Speaker 1: left off with the Virginia Roberts memoir The Billionaires Playboy Club.
0:12
Speaker 1: I turned seventeen that summer and had accumulated a string
0:15
Speaker 1: of exotic destinations that I had traveled to in such
0:18
Speaker 1: a short time. I was given more makeup and a
0:20
Speaker 1: pair of diamond earrings from Jeffrey. Gulayne only wished me
0:24
Speaker 1: a happy day, wondering at times if she felt threatened
0:27
Speaker 1: by Jeffrey in my closeness. We went to the island
0:30
Speaker 1: after we left NYC, and I asked if Sarah would
0:33
Speaker 1: be meeting us, mentioning it had been a while since
0:36
Speaker 1: we had last seen her. He said he had some
0:38
Speaker 1: bad news about her, expecting the worst, thinking she had
0:41
Speaker 1: gotten hurt or something. I was astounded when Jeffrey told
0:44
Speaker 1: me that she had been sent to his island with
0:46
Speaker 1: one of his friends for a couple of days, and
0:48
Speaker 1: when the housekeepers were cleaning her room, they found a
0:51
Speaker 1: stash of cocaine left out carelessly in her bathroom. He
0:55
Speaker 1: said he had no choice but to let her go
0:57
Speaker 1: attics with no respect for themselves or his wishes had
1:01
Speaker 1: no leeway. In Jeffrey's book, he didn't mind that I
1:03
Speaker 1: dabbled in drugs every once in a while, as long
1:06
Speaker 1: as I never brought them along with us on any trips,
1:09
Speaker 1: except for my Xanax, which he didn't mind because it
1:11
Speaker 1: was pharmaceutical and most of all wouldn't cause them trouble
1:15
Speaker 1: being a legal narcotic. Sarah took it too far when
1:19
Speaker 1: she crossed international borders with an illegal drug, risking her
1:23
Speaker 1: welfare and almost causing Jeffrey public attention. She lost her
1:26
Speaker 1: apartment and contacts in the acting world, only hearing from
1:30
Speaker 1: acquaintances once in a while that she was sinking deeper
1:33
Speaker 1: and deeper into the black hole of addiction. It was
1:36
Speaker 1: sad to see to find out, as always, I did
1:40
Speaker 1: like her. At the island, Glaine had just recently obtained
1:43
Speaker 1: that her helicopter pilot's license and wanted to get in
1:46
Speaker 1: some practice airtime, and flew Jeffrey and I to Saint
1:50
Speaker 1: John's where we picked up Alexandria Cousteau, the granddaughter of
1:54
Speaker 1: the inventor of the scuba tank and underwater explorer Jack Cousteau.
1:59
Speaker 1: Golaine was out to set up a fright in the air,
2:02
Speaker 1: but it was all talk. She was actually an impressive pilot,
2:06
Speaker 1: still a daredevil, though she got our kicks out of
2:08
Speaker 1: hearing us fret on the ear Muff's intercoms. Jeffrey made
2:12
Speaker 1: it clear that Alexandria as a guest and when I
2:15
Speaker 1: told her to adhere to her if she wanted a massage,
2:18
Speaker 1: which I obliged her with several times during our first meeting.
2:23
Speaker 1: It was Jeffrey who instigated that her and I reenact
2:26
Speaker 1: as lovers in lesbian acts of foreplay and penetration. I
2:31
Speaker 1: couldn't imagine a girl of such high prospects lowering herself
2:33
Speaker 1: to something of Jeffrey's standards, but I later found out
2:36
Speaker 1: through Jeffrey that he donated money to her continuous exploration
2:40
Speaker 1: into marine life and habitats. She had followed in her
2:44
Speaker 1: family's footsteps, all of them involved in marine biology in
2:47
Speaker 1: some way or another. We actually got along really well.
2:50
Speaker 1: She was a real decent girl and loved talking about
2:53
Speaker 1: her passion everything underneath the water's surface. When I wasn't
2:57
Speaker 1: busy giving massages to everyone around and I would hang
3:00
Speaker 1: out together. Often we would go swimming in the crystal
3:03
Speaker 1: clear pool of ocean that the Caribbean had to offer.
3:08
Speaker 1: Once we swam out so far, not paying attention to
3:11
Speaker 1: our location, and were carried out to see by the current.
3:14
Speaker 1: We took turns on the back of each other, taking
3:16
Speaker 1: breaks against the strong ocean tide. It was almost possibility
3:20
Speaker 1: that we nearly drowned out there if it weren't for
3:22
Speaker 1: some guys on a fishing boat for the day. When
3:25
Speaker 1: they caught us in their view. They picked us up
3:28
Speaker 1: and brought us back to the island, where we were
3:30
Speaker 1: reprimanded by a worry Jeffrey in Galaine to first of all,
3:33
Speaker 1: let someone know where we are going at all times,
3:36
Speaker 1: and never to lose sight of the shore will out
3:38
Speaker 1: for a swim. After that learning experience, I took their
3:43
Speaker 1: heat and proceeded with caution. I had a newfound respect
3:46
Speaker 1: for the ocean and its mysteries. Having such a love
3:51
Speaker 1: of the water as a guest made Jeffrey want to
3:54
Speaker 1: explore parts of the Caribbean he had never seen before.
3:57
Speaker 1: The Next morning, we were met by a scuba instructor
4:00
Speaker 1: in Saint James and given a few lessons on how
4:02
Speaker 1: to get the gear and to use it, and more
4:05
Speaker 1: tips like how to descend slowly to the ocean floor
4:07
Speaker 1: as to not cause blood clots, as well as visual
4:10
Speaker 1: hand signals to communicate underwater. It was so exhilarating beneath
4:15
Speaker 1: the water's surface, no voices to listen to, only the
4:18
Speaker 1: enchanting sites to take in. We explored the surrounding reef
4:22
Speaker 1: and found a large squid, many of the sea urchins,
4:25
Speaker 1: and magnificent colored coral that housed as many of the
4:28
Speaker 1: rich variety of local species of fish. It was such
4:32
Speaker 1: a great site to take in, holding a permanent mental
4:35
Speaker 1: picture of those adventures to carry in my head for
4:37
Speaker 1: all times. We all had such a great time that
4:41
Speaker 1: Jeffrey hired the same scuba instructor to come out the
4:43
Speaker 1: next day to scuba dive the safer parts around his island.
4:48
Speaker 1: We got bored quickly, with not so much to see
4:50
Speaker 1: but seaweed and fish here and there. It didn't take
4:53
Speaker 1: long for Glene decided for all of us to explore
4:56
Speaker 1: other numerous locations by boat. Jeffrey needed a bit of
5:00
Speaker 1: convincing at first, and the instructor was quick to assure
5:03
Speaker 1: him that he knew his way well around the waters.
5:06
Speaker 1: Of course, he would say that he was getting paid
5:08
Speaker 1: a hell of a lot of money to do this
5:09
Speaker 1: in the first place, why not extended a few more hours.
5:13
Speaker 1: The clear water glistened and the tropical array of marine
5:16
Speaker 1: life was on display as we wanted to stop at
5:19
Speaker 1: so many places, but you could see as beautiful as
5:23
Speaker 1: it was, it could be equally dangerous. It took so
5:26
Speaker 1: long that we had to veer away from many desirable spots.
5:29
Speaker 1: Finally we found a good place that the scuba instructor
5:32
Speaker 1: thought was safe. He buttied us up into pairs and
5:36
Speaker 1: we jumped off the back of the boat into the
5:38
Speaker 1: crystal lock with blue waters, beginning our descent slowly into
5:41
Speaker 1: the darker regions of the ocean's floor. We were situated
5:45
Speaker 1: on open water with a cavern of reefs to venture
5:48
Speaker 1: in and around down below. It seemed to be quite
5:51
Speaker 1: a choice to scuba in one that our guide said
5:54
Speaker 1: he wasn't familiar with, but to alleviate his board clientele
5:58
Speaker 1: deemed safe to swim around. It was Jeffrey and the
6:01
Speaker 1: guy together Gleayne and Emmy, and I was paired up
6:04
Speaker 1: with Alexandria. Myles. The houseman came with us and stayed
6:07
Speaker 1: on the boat just in case something went wrong, and
6:10
Speaker 1: lucky he did. We were all too far under water
6:14
Speaker 1: to hear his alarming screams of distress. When shadows lurking
6:17
Speaker 1: in the murky distance started appearing closer and closer, Glaine
6:21
Speaker 1: actually looked frightened for once as she gave us a
6:23
Speaker 1: signal to start ascending upwards, reminding us by holding her
6:27
Speaker 1: ears not to go up quick or, as we previously
6:30
Speaker 1: warned before, we could pop a blood vessel in our
6:33
Speaker 1: brain and hemorrhage to death. Not a very lovely image,
6:36
Speaker 1: but neither was getting torn apart by sharks. Those giant
6:40
Speaker 1: shadows became clearer and clearer, and soon enough we could
6:44
Speaker 1: recognize their indistinct species as a terrifying and more aggressive
6:48
Speaker 1: breed of sharks. The hammerhead grabbing myles hand. I was
6:52
Speaker 1: the last one ahead of the guide to get on
6:54
Speaker 1: the boat. Imagine the worst as I waited behind Emi
6:57
Speaker 1: and Alexandria, who were the next to follow Jeffrey and Glaane.
7:01
Speaker 1: I was in too much shock to scream or cry.
7:04
Speaker 1: I just told myself I had to stay calm and
7:06
Speaker 1: get out of this alive. Unlucky for us, we found
7:09
Speaker 1: out later that we were in their breeding territory and
7:12
Speaker 1: being sent a clear message that we were soon to
7:14
Speaker 1: be on the menu to their feeding frenzy. We all
7:18
Speaker 1: felt like we had cheated death, and I know I
7:20
Speaker 1: wasn't the only one in my heart that was still
7:23
Speaker 1: beating out of my chest. When we headed back to
7:26
Speaker 1: Jeffrey's island, Jeffrey was pale as his designer sheets and
7:29
Speaker 1: looked like he had aged another ten years. In his
7:32
Speaker 1: such scared state, Glayne took the heat off herself, even
7:37
Speaker 1: barely taking a notice of beforehand, and decided to poke
7:40
Speaker 1: fun at all of us frantically scurrying to get out
7:43
Speaker 1: of the water. It was just her nature, as I
7:46
Speaker 1: had never seen her move so quickly either. We got
7:49
Speaker 1: back to the island and collapsed our fatigued bodies in
7:52
Speaker 1: our own beds for a long nap. Freshened up and
7:56
Speaker 1: much more relaxed, we regaled our horrendous story again over day,
8:00
Speaker 1: this time and laughter. The following afternoon, Glaanne piloted all
8:04
Speaker 1: of us in the helicopter to Saint John's Airport and
8:07
Speaker 1: we said goodbye to Alexandra, where we all parted ways.
8:11
Speaker 1: I met her a few more separate times in Palm
8:13
Speaker 1: Beach at Jeffrey's mansion, but she wasn't a regular of his,
8:17
Speaker 1: probably not as easy as the troubled girls were at
8:19
Speaker 1: a bribe. Throughout the remainder of the quickly passing year,
8:23
Speaker 1: I was on the constant move with Jeffrey, attending various
8:26
Speaker 1: dinner parties, mostly with other esteem billionaires and widely acclaimed scientists.
8:31
Speaker 1: Jeffrey likes to surround himself with the most brilliant and
8:34
Speaker 1: powerful minds, filling his little black book with some of
8:37
Speaker 1: the most esteemed and even infamous people in today's wealthy society.
8:42
Speaker 1: It was during those intellectual gatherings that my body was
8:45
Speaker 1: also put on the banquet menu, but this time for
8:48
Speaker 1: a powerful senator, George Mitchell, and another Nobel Prize winning
8:52
Speaker 1: scientist whose name would be mentioned, but for all the
8:55
Speaker 1: life of me I can no longer remember. They would
8:59
Speaker 1: be only some of the recognizable figures of the high
9:02
Speaker 1: society that became added to my list of clientele. Of course,
9:07
Speaker 1: being introduced to for a lot more than just a
9:09
Speaker 1: client of a massage as an amusement to Jeffrey's associates,
9:14
Speaker 1: I also knew my place was to entertain, but not
9:17
Speaker 1: to every desired content. I was to show them a
9:21
Speaker 1: good time, but not the way I would have to
9:23
Speaker 1: use technique an effort for Jeffrey, the very teachings from
9:26
Speaker 1: Jeffrey himself, or my tutor, as he liked to so
9:29
Speaker 1: eloquently put it, consistently being used and adored for the
9:34
Speaker 1: likeliness of my youthful looks. I was becoming very accustomed
9:37
Speaker 1: to my lifestyle with Jeffrey, never really relaxing into it,
9:40
Speaker 1: but just accepting this as being as good as it's
9:43
Speaker 1: ever going to get for me. I didn't think I
9:46
Speaker 1: should be complaining. Wasn't I being offered a life in
9:49
Speaker 1: exchange for servitude. Just letting the signs of my anxiety
9:52
Speaker 1: and depression pass me by while I blanketed them with
9:55
Speaker 1: my pills, suffocating under a blanket of pain is all
9:59
Speaker 1: I was really doing. I spent Christmas and the New
10:02
Speaker 1: Year's holiday with Jeffrey in NYC, who doesn't celebrate the
10:06
Speaker 1: occasion as he's of Jewish descent, not that he was
10:09
Speaker 1: a religious man anyway. I never even saw him celebrate
10:12
Speaker 1: Hanukah either. We firstly stayed at his ranch in Santa
10:16
Speaker 1: Fe for a week, then left for a long plane
10:18
Speaker 1: trip to Paris, where all suffered jet lag for the
10:22
Speaker 1: next twenty four hours. We all stayed in the Grand
10:25
Speaker 1: Hotel with a view of the Champsalise. Emmy and I
10:29
Speaker 1: shared a room and with her gifted ability to make
10:32
Speaker 1: new contacts in just a few hours, she brought out
10:34
Speaker 1: a Jada share on the rooftop at nighttime while we
10:38
Speaker 1: were overlooking the lit up Eiffel Tower. We never got
10:41
Speaker 1: really close as buddies, but we both knew what we
10:43
Speaker 1: were indebted to and I felt each other sorrow. All
10:47
Speaker 1: four of us went out shopping at Chanelle dnng Ralph
10:50
Speaker 1: Lauren and many other little exclusive boutiques. The following afternoon.
10:55
Speaker 1: As a gift, Jeffrey bought me a white terry cloth
10:57
Speaker 1: goose feathered sofa and had it sent back to my
11:00
Speaker 1: apartment in Florida, and bought some new tapestries to have
11:02
Speaker 1: sent back to Santa Fe for his ranch. We also
11:05
Speaker 1: visited his up and coming Paris apartment. It was a
11:08
Speaker 1: modern typical flat being refurbished, and we went to see
11:11
Speaker 1: how it was looking. Jeffrey liked the fuss about every
11:15
Speaker 1: detail and harassed the builders about their work. Changing last
11:18
Speaker 1: minute details at a whim days and many croissants later,
11:22
Speaker 1: we left for Spain feeling bloated and sleepy. All right, folks,
11:26
Speaker 1: we're gonna wrap up this episode here and in the
11:28
Speaker 1: next episode we're gonna pick up where we left off.
11:32
Speaker 1: All of the information that goes with this episode can
11:35
Speaker 1: be found in the description box. What's up, everyone, and
11:38
Speaker 1: welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode,
11:42
Speaker 1: we're going to pick up where we left off with
11:44
Speaker 1: Virginia Roberts memoir, The Billionaire's Playboy Club, Days and many
11:49
Speaker 1: croissants later, we left Spain feeling bloated and sleepy. We
11:54
Speaker 1: only stayed in Spain for the afternoon, going to see
11:56
Speaker 1: another astounding Moroccan castle for Jeffrey to replicate at one
12:00
Speaker 1: of his many mansions. It was only a short plane
12:03
Speaker 1: ride to Tangier, Africa for more castle hopping. We arrived
12:07
Speaker 1: at the historic landmark and the only five star hotel
12:11
Speaker 1: in the Tangier called El Menza in the village a
12:14
Speaker 1: villa Novelle. The city and outskirts were still very hostile
12:18
Speaker 1: at the time, females being warned not to walk the
12:21
Speaker 1: streets alone and not to leave the house after dark,
12:24
Speaker 1: or to be at risk of being raped or worse.
12:26
Speaker 1: When we got to the room, it was oozing with
12:29
Speaker 1: every expected bit of extravagance that a luxurious historical palace
12:33
Speaker 1: should offer, until I was greeted with a pile of
12:36
Speaker 1: monkey poo in the very middle of my bed. Not
12:38
Speaker 1: a happy camper, I called Jeffrey, Glen and Emmy into
12:41
Speaker 1: my adjoining room and they all had quite a good
12:44
Speaker 1: laugh at my expense. Within a moment's notice of a complaint,
12:47
Speaker 1: call to the front desk, and we had an attendant
12:50
Speaker 1: cleaning up my bed linen. The cleaner noticed that the
12:53
Speaker 1: window was still opened. He warned not to leave it
12:56
Speaker 1: ajar at night time, just in case another monkey wanted
12:59
Speaker 1: to make himself comfortable in my quarters. Gallainne joke that
13:03
Speaker 1: maybe I should keep it open. I might find a
13:05
Speaker 1: suitable husband before I get any older. Always the instigator
13:09
Speaker 1: of a good joke, but unable to take one herself.
13:12
Speaker 1: She didn't like it when I poked back at her,
13:14
Speaker 1: and it was more in her recent taste of men,
13:17
Speaker 1: since she loved to brag about her rendezvous with various lovers.
13:21
Speaker 1: Once she came back giddy as a schoolgirl, with an
13:23
Speaker 1: explosion of news. With all the build up and excitement
13:26
Speaker 1: in her voice, you'd think was the next Crown princess.
13:29
Speaker 1: But she had given George Clooney a blowjob in the
13:32
Speaker 1: bathroom at some random event, and she never let that
13:35
Speaker 1: one down. We all went to explore the town surrounding
13:38
Speaker 1: Moroccan castles and meet their royalty that lived in them.
13:42
Speaker 1: Jeffrey's personal interior designer met us at the residences. They
13:46
Speaker 1: walked around hurriedly scribbling notes into their clipboards and whispering
13:50
Speaker 1: between themselves. The palaces were historically unique and beautiful, but
13:55
Speaker 1: I wondered how could they live so grandeur behind these
13:58
Speaker 1: walls when they lived in a city of such poverty
14:01
Speaker 1: stricken squabble Beggars line the streets. People could just go
14:05
Speaker 1: missing and no one could care, and you heard of
14:08
Speaker 1: barbaric murders happening every night. Against the advice of the
14:12
Speaker 1: palace attendant and Jeffrey's wishes, I decided to take a
14:15
Speaker 1: stroll one afternoon, mainly just to take photos of an
14:18
Speaker 1: exotic Africa and do some shopping in the village markets,
14:22
Speaker 1: but I ended up being intrigued by a group of
14:23
Speaker 1: young children playing in the street. When I was noticed
14:27
Speaker 1: watching them, about fifteen of them came up to me
14:29
Speaker 1: and began to beg for money and food. I was
14:32
Speaker 1: overtaken by the poor, hungry children and felt sad for
14:35
Speaker 1: them all, and wished I could help out somehow. When
14:38
Speaker 1: the tide of kids washed away and the street went empty,
14:41
Speaker 1: I was overcome with intrigue at these two little boys brothers,
14:45
Speaker 1: I found out later on, and their only toy was
14:47
Speaker 1: an empty can that they were kicking to each other
14:50
Speaker 1: in the middle of the street. Intelligent kids, they were
14:53
Speaker 1: able to speak three different languages, including English, and I
14:56
Speaker 1: was interested to ask them about life here. They didn't
14:58
Speaker 1: seem to notice or be bothered by their poverty stricken lives.
15:02
Speaker 1: They told me about their school and their parents, and
15:04
Speaker 1: I thought I had just heard the saddest story ever.
15:07
Speaker 1: But they were accustomed to living like that, and I
15:09
Speaker 1: had been so accustomed to my degrading lifestyle for so long.
15:13
Speaker 1: I was compelled to empty out the contents of my purse,
15:16
Speaker 1: giving them over two thousand dollars in US currency. A
15:19
Speaker 1: passerby snapped a photo of the kids and myself to
15:23
Speaker 1: take home as a personal souvenir before they rushed home
15:26
Speaker 1: to probably show their parents the money. I told Jeffrey
15:29
Speaker 1: later on of my good deed, and he couldn't believe
15:31
Speaker 1: I'd given away my money so carelessly. He told me
15:35
Speaker 1: I had set up their parents with enough money to
15:37
Speaker 1: feed and shelter their family for a year. Wasn't that
15:40
Speaker 1: a good thing? I couldn't believe it. Not that I
15:43
Speaker 1: was well off or anything close to it, but to
15:45
Speaker 1: realize how lucky I was and not have compassion for
15:49
Speaker 1: the lesser off, especially children of a third world country,
15:52
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be human anymore. Then again, what did I
15:56
Speaker 1: expect from someone who could numerously steal another man's for
16:00
Speaker 1: the use of his own sexual pleasure with great ease.
16:05
Speaker 1: We went out to lunch the following day with Jeffrey's
16:07
Speaker 1: team of designers to wrap things up, and after Jeffrey's
16:11
Speaker 1: afternoon massage, he went to the palace to have a nap.
16:14
Speaker 1: When I was all alone, I thought I'd go see
16:16
Speaker 1: the culture of the local unique markets again and this
16:19
Speaker 1: time buy some trinkets to bring home. I got the
16:22
Speaker 1: sight seeing and took pictures of legs of lamb hung
16:24
Speaker 1: over the blood drenched doorway, over people's homes as to
16:27
Speaker 1: warn off evil spirits, and the ghettos were the local
16:30
Speaker 1: villagers called home. I walked into many of the market
16:34
Speaker 1: stalls and saw the most peculiar antiques, such as weaponry
16:38
Speaker 1: with the blood of its last victim stained on its
16:40
Speaker 1: sharp blades, and body pieces of various animals for the
16:44
Speaker 1: use of religious sacrifice. I was more interested in the
16:48
Speaker 1: different culture and respecting their ancient way of life with interest,
16:51
Speaker 1: instead of squirming like a tourist and getting grossed out.
16:55
Speaker 1: I thought it was so educational and enthralling. In fact,
16:58
Speaker 1: I ended up buying a few official trinkets to have
17:01
Speaker 1: sent to my apartment in Palm Beach. Not to say
17:04
Speaker 1: that I wasn't looking forward to getting back to the
17:06
Speaker 1: luxuries of Western civilization. It was a bit like camping,
17:10
Speaker 1: fun and adventurous, but as equally dangerous and thrilling. When
17:14
Speaker 1: we left for the final destination of our trip, I
17:17
Speaker 1: was looking forward to eating normal food again, not one
17:20
Speaker 1: to stray for foreign dishes. Ah'mor of a cheeseburger and
17:23
Speaker 1: pizza kind of girl, A true sign of my American heritage.
17:27
Speaker 1: We landed at Heathrow International Airport and greeted by a
17:30
Speaker 1: driver that would take us to Glen's townhouse in London
17:33
Speaker 1: that Jeffrey had recently bought and refurbished as a gift
17:36
Speaker 1: for Emmy said goodbye at the airport, leaving us to
17:39
Speaker 1: go to her hometown in the rural countryside nearby to
17:42
Speaker 1: visit family for a six week holiday from work. It
17:46
Speaker 1: wasn't a very long drive before we were in the
17:48
Speaker 1: heart of the city at Gallaine's place. I thought it
17:51
Speaker 1: was a cheery townhouse that had character and historical pub
17:54
Speaker 1: in front of it, and cobblestone streets only added a
17:57
Speaker 1: unique charm to its presence. They were going out for
18:00
Speaker 1: dinner and invited me along with them, but seeing I
18:03
Speaker 1: was so exhausted from all the traveling and looking a
18:06
Speaker 1: bit melancholy, I apologetically declined going out for dinner that evening.
18:11
Speaker 1: I rather would be talking taking a few pills to
18:13
Speaker 1: catch up on some needed sleep. Are you sure you're okay,
18:17
Speaker 1: Glene asked as she showed me to my room, more
18:19
Speaker 1: considerate than she normally was, but I assured her that
18:22
Speaker 1: I was in absolute good health, just tired from all
18:25
Speaker 1: the recent jet lag. Without another word, she whisked off
18:28
Speaker 1: downstairs to the car, where Jeffrey was waiting for I
18:33
Speaker 1: took the liberty to call my parents' house to say
18:35
Speaker 1: hello and catch up with them, since I hadn't been
18:38
Speaker 1: home for all of the holiday season this year, always
18:41
Speaker 1: too busy working. They sounded really happy to hear from me,
18:44
Speaker 1: and my mom put me on the phone to talk
18:46
Speaker 1: to my brothers as well. I got to tell them
18:49
Speaker 1: about my travels abroad and I had some cool tribal
18:52
Speaker 1: stuff from Africa that I bought for them. They sounded
18:55
Speaker 1: so proud of me, all of them, and why shouldn't
18:58
Speaker 1: they be? And everyone's convinced my I was making great
19:01
Speaker 1: money traveling the world and meeting new faces everywhere I went.
19:06
Speaker 1: Why should I spoil anyone's delusions, especially mine. I took
19:09
Speaker 1: my sleeping tablets and had a bath before falling into
19:13
Speaker 1: a deep and much needed sleep. The next morning, I
19:15
Speaker 1: was awoken by Glenn Maxwell, who I could tell was
19:19
Speaker 1: in a chirpy mood by the way she paraded through
19:21
Speaker 1: my closed door, saying, wake up, sleepyhead, and open the
19:24
Speaker 1: window shutters to let in the bright sunlight. She had
19:27
Speaker 1: never done anything like this before, and I knew immediately
19:30
Speaker 1: something big was happening. She sat down on my bed
19:34
Speaker 1: as I rolled over for my deep slumber, and I
19:36
Speaker 1: was able to mutter for an explanation as to why
19:39
Speaker 1: she was awake so early, besides the fact that it's
19:42
Speaker 1: ten o'clock in the morning and nearly time for brunch.
19:45
Speaker 1: We have a big day planned out for you today.
19:48
Speaker 1: She was waiting for my queue to ask her what
19:50
Speaker 1: we're doing. When I said, she responded with a convincing enthusiasm,
19:55
Speaker 1: We're going shopping for a new ensemble. She paused for
19:58
Speaker 1: a moment to build a suspense before completing her sentence
20:04
Speaker 1: to go dancing with the Prince of England this evening,
20:06
Speaker 1: hoping it would be one of the younger generations. I
20:09
Speaker 1: was disappointed when she told me he was the Duke
20:11
Speaker 1: of York, Charles's younger brother Andrew. I looked at her
20:15
Speaker 1: with a fake surprise. Look what I had used on
20:18
Speaker 1: many occasions in my time with them to give the
20:21
Speaker 1: impression of excitement. What wow, I exclaimed, with my gifted
20:25
Speaker 1: acting ability. It's a sad realization, but I had grown
20:29
Speaker 1: more accustomed to seeing people for their significance rather than
20:32
Speaker 1: the good qualities they possessed, and was able to grin
20:35
Speaker 1: and bear the thought of what I expected lay in
20:38
Speaker 1: store for me. Glene and I left shortly thereafter for
20:43
Speaker 1: many lanes of designer shops to choose from in London.
20:46
Speaker 1: Her pep talks to prepare me for my duties towards
20:49
Speaker 1: Royalty went on and on, giving me the obscure impression
20:52
Speaker 1: I was something of importance, at least for more than
20:55
Speaker 1: in an evening. Make sure you're bubbly and energetic. Nobody
20:59
Speaker 1: wants a horse was one of the cheap tools she
21:02
Speaker 1: instilled me with. Who knows where this could lead for
21:05
Speaker 1: you was another. As the day grew shorter, my anxiety
21:08
Speaker 1: only heightened. Anticipating the Prince's arrival and unable to decide
21:13
Speaker 1: on an outfit, I picked out three. Our last stop
21:16
Speaker 1: of the day was Burberries for a nice handbag to
21:19
Speaker 1: compliment our chosen attire. We got back to our townhouse
21:23
Speaker 1: with still a couple hours to spare to get ready.
21:27
Speaker 1: After trying on all three outfits and many mental debates
21:30
Speaker 1: with myself, later I decided on the pink mini tea
21:33
Speaker 1: and dazzling pair of denims with horses embroidered into a pattern.
21:39
Speaker 1: It seemed a lot more my style an age group
21:41
Speaker 1: rather than the other two older looking, sophisticated dresses I
21:44
Speaker 1: had picked out. I told myself I was going dancing
21:48
Speaker 1: out a club, not to one opera. As most young
21:51
Speaker 1: girls can be during their body changes into womanhood. I
21:54
Speaker 1: felt awkward, you know, big feet, freckles and body hair
21:58
Speaker 1: and unwonted places. There are things you just don't want
22:02
Speaker 1: when you're seventeen and you see these iconic billboards of
22:05
Speaker 1: what femininity is supposed to represent, and you just don't
22:08
Speaker 1: fit into that picture, never feeling what we all are
22:12
Speaker 1: already absolutely perfect. By the time I had got ready,
22:16
Speaker 1: I was a nervous wreck, but trying to keep cool
22:19
Speaker 1: on the outside was an act. I thought it'd be
22:22
Speaker 1: a good idea to take a few xanas before the
22:24
Speaker 1: evening unraveled and my anxiety went through the roof. Jeffrey
22:28
Speaker 1: and I were sitting in the lounge room downstairs waiting
22:31
Speaker 1: for Glaine to finish getting ready. The room was silent,
22:34
Speaker 1: only stillness in the air. I stared at a mural
22:38
Speaker 1: painted onto the wall that I was facing. It was
22:40
Speaker 1: an interesting piece of artwork in great detail. It illustrated
22:44
Speaker 1: a happy looking family sitting on a bench overlooking upon
22:47
Speaker 1: that resided on a large piece of land with a
22:50
Speaker 1: beautiful home displayed. There were also hunting hounds in the
22:54
Speaker 1: hunters chasing a game of fox, like the notorious English
22:58
Speaker 1: hunt pieces throughout history. Jeffrey took notice of my enchantment
23:04
Speaker 1: into the picture, and in a hush voice, proceeded to
23:06
Speaker 1: tell me that it was a portrait of Glenn's childhood,
23:09
Speaker 1: the part that she could be proud of. I never
23:13
Speaker 1: realized how prominent her family's history was in England. Apparently,
23:16
Speaker 1: as Jeffrey's attest. Her father was born of poor Jewish
23:20
Speaker 1: descent in Czechoslovakia, most of his family being killed upon
23:24
Speaker 1: Nazi invasion in nineteen thirty nine. Fleeing to join the
23:28
Speaker 1: British Army as a young man, he changed his name
23:31
Speaker 1: a few times and made a lot of contacts in
23:33
Speaker 1: the field. After the war, a newfound Robert Maxwell when
23:36
Speaker 1: into publishing, using his army contacts to establish a business
23:40
Speaker 1: initially built upon publishing scientific books from occupied Germany. In time,
23:46
Speaker 1: Maxwell acquired several British newspapers, among them The Deli Mirror,
23:50
Speaker 1: countering his wits against the likes of Rupert Murdoch along
23:53
Speaker 1: the way. However, whilst constructing his publishing empire, Maxwell compiled
23:58
Speaker 1: astronomical debts, and his equivocal financial dealings attracted the attention
24:04
Speaker 1: of governing authorities that judged them not to be looking
24:07
Speaker 1: out for his company's best interest, and in the end
24:09
Speaker 1: it transpired that Robert Maxwell had been using proceeds from
24:13
Speaker 1: his employees' pension funds to meet his financial debts, ruining
24:17
Speaker 1: the future of thousands of employees. Once an esteem member
24:20
Speaker 1: of Parliament and publishing mogul, Robert's body was found floating
24:24
Speaker 1: in the Atlantic Ocean after he was found to be
24:26
Speaker 1: missing from his yacht, the Lady Glaane, named after his
24:29
Speaker 1: favorite child, while cruising the Canary Islands in nineteen ninety one.
24:34
Speaker 1: Jeffrey went on to tell me that when her father died,
24:37
Speaker 1: she was inconsolable and in a very bad state. He
24:41
Speaker 1: picked her up from the trenches of despair and took
24:43
Speaker 1: her under his wing, and it's there she stayed comfortable
24:46
Speaker 1: ever since. Took Elaine. His peculiar need to have so
24:51
Speaker 1: many women around, even his taste in younger than legal ones,
24:54
Speaker 1: didn't seem unconventional to her. It was her own father
24:58
Speaker 1: who was deemed a womanizer and even took a second
25:00
Speaker 1: wife while still married to Glane's mother. I would have
25:03
Speaker 1: never guessed this care free, spirited and vivacious woman have
25:08
Speaker 1: ever endured such sorrows. I couldn't help but looking her
25:11
Speaker 1: in a different light from then on, but not letting
25:13
Speaker 1: her know that I knew to avoid any altercations between us.
25:18
Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna wrap this one up right here,
25:20
Speaker 1: and in the next episode dealing with the topic, we're
25:22
Speaker 1: gonna pick up where we left off. All of the
25:25
Speaker 1: information that goes with this episode can be found in
25:28
Speaker 1: the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to another
25:31
Speaker 1: episode of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're gonna
25:35
Speaker 1: pick up where we left off with Virginia Roberts memoir
25:38
Speaker 1: The Billionaire's Playboy Club. Sunny spring days melted away, the
25:42
Speaker 1: ice off the frozen streets of New York, and the
25:45
Speaker 1: harsh winter winds began to gently blow away the dead leaves,
25:49
Speaker 1: making the cage trees appear to have some form of
25:51
Speaker 1: life again. I hated the cold winters there. It would
25:56
Speaker 1: only add to my depression being locked indoors. Give me
25:59
Speaker 1: hot Florida day, blistering in the sun, where I can
26:02
Speaker 1: swelter by a cool pool and sip cocktails with pieces
26:05
Speaker 1: of fruit and little oriental umbrellas floating around. What a
26:09
Speaker 1: vision of solace. Looking around my extravagantly decorated medieval room,
26:13
Speaker 1: I was reminded of the desolation that I was more
26:17
Speaker 1: than accustomed to, knowing it wouldn't be a long time
26:20
Speaker 1: before I was summoned again for another ritualistic occurrence. In
26:23
Speaker 1: fornicating with my master, I hardly bothered to leave my
26:27
Speaker 1: assigned chambers, scarcely being sent home for a moment's break.
26:31
Speaker 1: I just accepted my fate as I predicted. The innercom
26:34
Speaker 1: buzzed momentarily, and I heard Golayne's voice come over and
26:38
Speaker 1: a request to meet them in Jeffrey's study, not not call.
26:41
Speaker 1: I would often meet him there first so we could
26:44
Speaker 1: tie up some unfinished business before heading to the dungeon
26:47
Speaker 1: or what was thought to be the massage room. Making
26:50
Speaker 1: my way down the hall, I had a neary feeling
26:52
Speaker 1: wash over me, as if I had several pairs of
26:56
Speaker 1: eyes on me watching my every move. A cold chill
26:59
Speaker 1: moved up my spot and I had to move my
27:01
Speaker 1: thoughts elsewhere. Too easy behind these walls to succumb to
27:05
Speaker 1: my fearsome anxieties. I punched in number one once inside
27:09
Speaker 1: the elevator, and it took me down to the floor
27:12
Speaker 1: where Jeffrey and the surprised guests were waiting with anticipation
27:16
Speaker 1: behind closed doors. I cracked open the heavy wooden doors,
27:20
Speaker 1: and a familiar face revealed itself. Definitely not expected or
27:24
Speaker 1: pre warned on my part, but I already knew what
27:27
Speaker 1: he was there for, or at least why I was
27:29
Speaker 1: called down to the study. Prince Andrew had that notorious
27:32
Speaker 1: cheesy grin slapped over his face as he looked me
27:35
Speaker 1: up and down, like a shiny new car on display,
27:38
Speaker 1: and he was about to take it for a test drive.
27:41
Speaker 1: Glayne led me to the decadent sofa he was lounging
27:44
Speaker 1: on and twirled me around to give him a good
27:46
Speaker 1: look over, before sitting me down on his lap like
27:49
Speaker 1: a show pony. I knew exactly how they wanted me
27:52
Speaker 1: to be paraded around. With the last of my dignity
27:55
Speaker 1: long lost, I had nothing more to lose. It was
27:58
Speaker 1: easy to give them the reaction they desired. All I
28:01
Speaker 1: had to do was pretend to be unentertained by their
28:03
Speaker 1: lewde gestures, and when Andrew cut my breast with a
28:08
Speaker 1: doll made in his image, I only giggled away. Golayne
28:11
Speaker 1: wanted to take a picture of the bizarre scene, and
28:14
Speaker 1: even got Johanna, another one of Jeffrey's so called personal assistants,
28:18
Speaker 1: to come sit on the other knee for a snapshot.
28:20
Speaker 1: Given the impression girls couldn't stay away from Randy Andy
28:25
Speaker 1: many crew jokes later, and I was asked to show
28:28
Speaker 1: Andrew to the upstairs massage room. I'm sure he already
28:31
Speaker 1: knew where it was from previous visits, but I led
28:34
Speaker 1: him the way anyways, as if he was now my
28:37
Speaker 1: guest of honor. Entering into the dim room, it took
28:40
Speaker 1: a few minutes from my eyes to adjust to the darkness,
28:43
Speaker 1: but knowing my way around the room was enough to
28:45
Speaker 1: find the shower. I turned on the steam room and
28:48
Speaker 1: began to undress myself. Andrew followed my lead and disrobed,
28:52
Speaker 1: throwing his attire to the floor. I wanted to run
28:54
Speaker 1: and hide, feeling his hands touch me again, but my
28:57
Speaker 1: servitude for Jeffrey kept me there. Getting out of his stronghold,
29:01
Speaker 1: I turned my attention to the steam filling up and
29:04
Speaker 1: tried to turn his attention to the marble bench, where
29:07
Speaker 1: I suggested he'd take a seat while I rubbed his feet.
29:10
Speaker 1: By the look in his eyes, I knew he could
29:12
Speaker 1: care less about a foot massage. His real desire were
29:15
Speaker 1: being shown by the arousal his body was forming. He
29:18
Speaker 1: indicated where he wanted me to touch him and how
29:21
Speaker 1: I fulfilled his CD requests, but only just. There was
29:25
Speaker 1: no pleasure in this for me. The only thing I
29:28
Speaker 1: derived from this event was to sing further into my
29:30
Speaker 1: slumber of depression. I couldn't remember a time when I
29:35
Speaker 1: felt I needed for anything other than my body or
29:38
Speaker 1: amusements thereof. After his massage was thoroughly conducted, I couldn't
29:42
Speaker 1: wait to get back to my room for another shower.
29:44
Speaker 1: Sitting on the floor of my shower under the harsh
29:47
Speaker 1: spray of water, I scrubbed my body where he touched me.
29:50
Speaker 1: Feeling abhorrent and ashamed at what I become, I let
29:53
Speaker 1: the water wash away the grime. As the days progressed
29:57
Speaker 1: into nights and the knights followed a trail of destructive months,
30:00
Speaker 1: my outlook on life had diminished into utter sadness. I
30:04
Speaker 1: had lost my spark and my ability to look like
30:06
Speaker 1: I could handle the abusive state of affairs I had
30:09
Speaker 1: drifted into, sinking deeper into the euphoric state of being
30:13
Speaker 1: on coke and pills. Not only was my mentality dwindling away,
30:17
Speaker 1: but also my looks. I sure as hell didn't feel
30:19
Speaker 1: like a seventeen year old anymore, and now I wasn't
30:22
Speaker 1: looking like one. My eyes had dark circles underneath them
30:26
Speaker 1: from not sleeping, and my bones protruded from my skinny
30:29
Speaker 1: waistline in my chest. This made Jeffrey apprehensive in keeping
30:33
Speaker 1: me around as often, and before I had moments notice
30:37
Speaker 1: I was out of money and looking for a job.
30:39
Speaker 1: When I questioned them what was happening, he told me
30:42
Speaker 1: I wasn't the same girl he had first met some
30:44
Speaker 1: time ago now and looked like I needed a break
30:47
Speaker 1: from working so much. I'll call you next time I'm
30:49
Speaker 1: in town, was the last thing he said to me.
30:53
Speaker 1: Going back to the average teenager's life was more of
30:56
Speaker 1: a harder transition than I would have ever thought. Jeffrey
30:59
Speaker 1: stopped paying my expensive rent, and I was forced to
31:01
Speaker 1: get off the drugs and look for a real job
31:03
Speaker 1: to feed and shelter. TJ and I. It was much
31:06
Speaker 1: harder than it sounded, but I was craving this in
31:10
Speaker 1: every possible way. Even though a week's wages for working
31:13
Speaker 1: a full time job as a waitress didn't come close
31:15
Speaker 1: to the money I had made in a couple of
31:17
Speaker 1: hours working for Jeffrey, I was happier than I had
31:20
Speaker 1: been in a long time. I made some friends at
31:22
Speaker 1: my new job and found my duties to be easy
31:25
Speaker 1: and pleasant. I was good at making customers smile and
31:28
Speaker 1: keeping them happy before the waitress. That made the most
31:31
Speaker 1: of the tips for the night, which in turn made
31:33
Speaker 1: my coworkers happy since we'd all split the tips at
31:36
Speaker 1: the end of the week. For the first time in
31:38
Speaker 1: a long time, I had boys my age hitting on me,
31:41
Speaker 1: and not that I was ever taken aback, but there
31:44
Speaker 1: were attempts. It reminded me of how it felt to
31:47
Speaker 1: be around a younger crowd. I missed so much of
31:49
Speaker 1: what I couldn't get back, and the more I tasted it,
31:52
Speaker 1: the more I remembered how to smile. The relationship between
31:56
Speaker 1: TJ and I began to falter in a way that
31:58
Speaker 1: was beyond reconciliation. Fights became physical, and I saw sides
32:03
Speaker 1: to him that only pushed me away more. He refused
32:06
Speaker 1: to look for work to help pay bills, and he
32:08
Speaker 1: became utterly frustrated, not having his usual cocktail of assorted
32:12
Speaker 1: drugs to keep him from feeling anything at all. He
32:15
Speaker 1: didn't like the fact that I was growing inside and
32:17
Speaker 1: thinking beyond his elusive world. I had gone through too
32:22
Speaker 1: much to accept another form of abuse and degradation, making
32:26
Speaker 1: that point very clear to him by kicking him out
32:28
Speaker 1: of my apartment back to live with his parents. I
32:30
Speaker 1: felt liberated like never before. I kept up with my rent,
32:35
Speaker 1: and I cleaned my act up, and rolling in a
32:37
Speaker 1: yoga course and keeping my focus on staying fit and
32:40
Speaker 1: healthy became my only source of enjoyment. I was free
32:43
Speaker 1: and living for myself. While doing the grocery shopping. One evening,
32:48
Speaker 1: I couldn't help but stop at a local pet store
32:50
Speaker 1: and fell in love with the furry pooch. She was
32:53
Speaker 1: a Japanese chow chow and a bundle of fur that
32:56
Speaker 1: more resembled a baby brown bear than a dog. I
32:58
Speaker 1: took her home with me and instantly she became my
33:01
Speaker 1: best friend. We went for several walks a day, and
33:04
Speaker 1: she bore the brunt of my many tear filled conversations.
33:07
Speaker 1: She was my loyal companion who understood more than anyone
33:11
Speaker 1: had before. All I really need was someone to listen,
33:14
Speaker 1: and funny enough, it was her that filled the hole.
33:18
Speaker 1: Nearly three months had gone by and not a word
33:20
Speaker 1: from Jeffrey or Golaine. With TJ out of the picture,
33:24
Speaker 1: now all I had to concentrate on was work, my parents,
33:27
Speaker 1: my brothers, and of course my dog Mary Jane. I
33:31
Speaker 1: was going to family night dinners and bonfires again. My
33:33
Speaker 1: older brother was getting married to an amazing woman in
33:36
Speaker 1: a few weeks, and I got to be a part
33:38
Speaker 1: of their beautiful ceremony, small details of life's journey that
33:41
Speaker 1: I had already missed so much of, and now being
33:44
Speaker 1: able to smile at the simple things day in day out,
33:47
Speaker 1: really seemed to put the real value of life into perspective.
33:50
Speaker 1: For me. Everything seemed to be working out for itself,
33:53
Speaker 1: and I was really happy until he came back. TJ
33:56
Speaker 1: thought he'd come over my place one evening while I
33:59
Speaker 1: was sitting at home just watching TV. Obviously mentally distorted
34:03
Speaker 1: from whatever choice of drugs he was smoking that night,
34:06
Speaker 1: he screamed down my apartment complex, going mad, and scaring
34:09
Speaker 1: my neighbors. I felt like I had no choice but
34:11
Speaker 1: to let him inside. I tried talking to him as
34:14
Speaker 1: a good friend would, just wanting him to see what
34:17
Speaker 1: he was doing to himself and what he had become
34:20
Speaker 1: part of me. Still loved him and took pity on
34:22
Speaker 1: watching him spiral downwards. Taking him back into my life
34:25
Speaker 1: was not a decision I made wholeheartedly, but with something
34:29
Speaker 1: I did out of guilt and what I thought was loyalty.
34:32
Speaker 1: He moved his clothes back to my place, which was
34:35
Speaker 1: all he ever owned anyways, and we tried to pick
34:38
Speaker 1: up the broken pieces. TJ, still being badly addicted to
34:41
Speaker 1: many drugs, I had to be very careful where I
34:43
Speaker 1: kept my jewelry and expensive items. I decided to rent
34:47
Speaker 1: out a space at a local spot and store my
34:49
Speaker 1: cherished items away, just taking the necessary precautions, I thought,
34:54
Speaker 1: still not working. I knew how he was scraping by money,
34:57
Speaker 1: and I didn't agree with it. TJ was a known
34:59
Speaker 1: thief and had been caught several times attempting to steal
35:02
Speaker 1: things even as stupid as DVD's, or PS two or
35:06
Speaker 1: Xbox games from a local blockbuster. He even stole from
35:10
Speaker 1: his parents, his sister, and his brother, and would probably
35:13
Speaker 1: steal a piece of candy from a five year old
35:15
Speaker 1: if he knew that it would get him his next fix.
35:19
Speaker 1: He hated the change in myself, realizing I couldn't be
35:22
Speaker 1: brought back down by his ways, but knowing I was
35:24
Speaker 1: still stuck by his side and defended him from anything
35:27
Speaker 1: that would hurt him, wanting to believe that he still
35:30
Speaker 1: wanted to show the bits of human nature left in
35:32
Speaker 1: his empty heart. Unable to stand and see me do
35:35
Speaker 1: well for myself, he contemplated a way to try and
35:38
Speaker 1: bring me down. After a busy shift one night, he
35:40
Speaker 1: retaliated with another show of control. I had just finished
35:44
Speaker 1: up cleaning my area and setting out the tables to
35:46
Speaker 1: be ready for the next day, and I went to
35:49
Speaker 1: the bar to hang up my apron and put my
35:51
Speaker 1: night's tips in the tipple on the counter by the
35:54
Speaker 1: beer tap. On one of his drug induced rampages, he
35:58
Speaker 1: stormed into the restaurant where I was working and started
36:00
Speaker 1: to pick a fight with me. I knew he was
36:02
Speaker 1: off his face when he started accusing me of sleeping
36:05
Speaker 1: with my manager on shift that evening. Having no bias
36:09
Speaker 1: or ground to stand on in his attempt to make
36:11
Speaker 1: me look bad in front of everyone. I just laughed
36:13
Speaker 1: him off as a drunk idiot who needed to go
36:15
Speaker 1: home and sleep off the night's repercussions. Although I was
36:18
Speaker 1: fuming inside that he embarrassed me, but I still made
36:21
Speaker 1: excuses for him and told my boss I had to
36:24
Speaker 1: leave early to bring him home. All right, folks, we're
36:27
Speaker 1: gonna wrap up right here, and in the next episode
36:29

36:32
Speaker 1: left off. All of the information that goes with this
