Why Are a Housekeeper and Former Lawyer Challenging Virginia Roberts’ Heirs? (4/24/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:02
  Epstein Chronicles. One of the most wild things that we've
• 0:07
  talked about in the last few days is the battle
• 0:10
  that has erupted over Virginia's estate and the fact that
• 0:14
  we have a housekeeper and her ex lawyer vying for
• 0:17
  control of her estate trying to carve themselves a slice
• 0:21
  is just straight up disgusting, especially considering that they're going
• 0:26
  to court against her kids. As if there's any debate
• 0:30
  about who should get the lion's share of all of
• 0:33
  Virginia's estate, it is her children after the creditors are
• 0:37
  paid off. Nobody else should even show up to the
• 0:40
  table with a fork and knife thinking they're going to eat,
• 0:43
  because as far as I'm concerned, you can eat shit.
• 0:47
  This episode was published by ABC News and the headline
• 0:50
  sons of Virginia Roberts, who accused Andrew and Epstein see
• 0:54
  control of her estate. This article was authored by Rod McGirk. Now,
• 1:00
  this is a relatively short article, so we're just going
• 1:03
  to read through it and then I'll give you my
• 1:06
  opinion after that. Lawyers for two sons of Virginia Roberts,
• 1:11
  her housekeeper and her former attorney appeared in Australian court
• 1:15
  Friday in a case deciding who controls her estate. Roberts
• 1:20
  was the highest profile accuser of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,
• 1:23
  and she settled a lawsuit for an undisclosed sum in
• 1:27
  twenty twenty two against then Prince Andrew now known as
• 1:30
  Andrew Mountbatten Windsor after he was stripped of his royal
• 1:34
  titles over his association with Jeffrey Epstein. She died by
• 1:38
  suicide in April at the age of forty one at
• 1:41
  her farm in Western Australia State, without leaving a will.
• 1:45
  The only adults of her three children, Christian and Noah,
• 1:49
  filed a case in the State Supreme Court in June
• 1:52
  to gain control of their mother's estate, including property in
• 1:55
  Western Australia where she had lived for years and potential
• 1:59
  revenue from her memoir Nobody's Girl. The memoir, released last month,
• 2:05
  expands on her claims that she was sexually trafficked as
• 2:08
  a teen by the late financier to billionaires, politicians, and
• 2:12
  King Charles the Third's brother, Mal Batton Windsor categorically rejected
• 2:17
  the allegations and said he didn't recall having met her.
• 2:21
  The brothers want the court to appoint them administrators of
• 2:25
  their mother's estate. The brother's application is opposed by Virginia
• 2:29
  roberts former housekeeper and caregiver, Cheryl Myers, and her former
• 2:33
  Perth based attorney, Carrie Lowdin. The women want to be
• 2:37
  made administrators. Now, why would you want to do that?
• 2:40
  Here's an idea. Go find something else to do with
• 2:43
  your time. You've already been paid and if not, you
• 2:46
  can seek the money from the estate. But where in
• 2:49
  the hell do you get off trying to be the administrator.
• 2:52
  A temporary administrator was appointed this week to manage the estate.
• 2:56
  The first court hearing in the case was held Friday,
• 2:58
  and another will be scheduled next year. Lawyers on Friday
• 3:02
  discussed the range of issues, including whether Virginia Robert's daughter,
• 3:06
  who cannot be named for legal reasons, and her estranged
• 3:09
  husband should become parties in the case. Virginia Roberts separated
• 3:13
  from her husband and children this year. She had been
• 3:16
  charged with breaching a family violence restraining order over an
• 3:19
  incident in February, and died before she was to appear
• 3:23
  in court over the matter. All right, so that's the
• 3:26
  news now, let's get into what I think about all
• 3:30
  of this nonsense. Can someone, anyone explain to me how
• 3:34
  we got to a point where a former lawyer and
• 3:35
  a fucking housekeeper think that they're entitled to carve themselves
• 3:39
  a slice at a Virginia Roberts estate like they're lining
• 3:42
  up at a Golden Corral buffet. I mean, really, I'm
• 3:45
  sitting here trying to wrap my head around this level
• 3:47
  of delusion in greed, and my brain cells are staging
• 3:50
  a walkout. This woman spent her entire life fighting like
• 3:53
  hell against a cabala monsters, and now when she's gone,
• 3:57
  when the ink isn't even dry on the obituary, here
• 4:00
  come twiddled and tweedled dumbass waddling onto the scene like
• 4:03
  they're the rightful errors to the throne. And for what
• 4:06
  for being adjacent, for being in proximity, for vacuuming near greatness?
• 4:12
  Since when does dusting someone's end table give you a
• 4:15
  rightful claim on their life's work? Should I start sending
• 4:18
  invoices to every celebrity whose music I listened to in
• 4:21
  my car, because apparently if you're near something long enough,
• 4:24
  you're automatically owed half of it. What kind of warped
• 4:27
  ass carnival mural world is this. So let's start with
• 4:31
  Exhibit A. The ex lawyer. Oh yeah, the noble legal representative,
• 4:35
  defender of justice, champion of ethics, unless there's a payday involved,
• 4:39
  in which case strip away the scales of justice, and
• 4:42
  suddenly it's back alley auction and she's trying to liquidate
• 4:45
  the estate like she's running a scratch and dent warehouse.
• 4:49
  You'd think somebody who spend time writing legal arguments about
• 4:52
  victimization might have retained even a microscopic molecule of integrity.
• 4:57
  But nah, integrity packed it shit and left ten the
• 5:00
  second money hit the radar. And then of course we
• 5:03
  got the housekeeper, the fucking housekeeper. Really, really, this is
• 5:07
  where we are now as a species, the level of
• 5:10
  self importance it takes to think, you know what, I
• 5:13
  deserve some of that estate money too, for doing chores,
• 5:16
  for flipping pillows and wiping down countertops. Since when does
• 5:21
  cleaning someone's house entitle you to inherit it. If that's
• 5:25
  the rule, now every single made in Beverly Hills is
• 5:28
  about to become a billionaire overnight. Meanwhile, all we should
• 5:31
  be talking about is the kids, you know, the ones
• 5:34
  who just lost our mother, the ones whose entire world
• 5:36
  has been turned inside out and upside down, the ones
• 5:39
  who should be grieving privately, without parasites crawling up from
• 5:42
  the sewer grate to see what they can extract. How
• 5:45
  in the actual hell does someone look at mourning children
• 5:48
  and think, yeah, let's shake them down. You have to
• 5:52
  be a moral corpse to land on that conclusion and
• 5:55
  don't even come at me with, well, they provided services,
• 5:57
  no shit, and they got paid for those services. That's
• 6:00
  how employment works. You do a job, you receive compensation,
• 6:04
  the transaction ends. You don't get to follow the family
• 6:07
  around like a vulture waiting for a body to cool off.
• 6:10
  Nobody's handing out loyalty reward cards for proximity to tragedy.
• 6:14
  And look, this isn't even more, Lee Gray. This isn't complicated,
• 6:18
  This isn't nuanced. This is textbook read. This is what
• 6:22
  happens when money becomes oxygen. This is the kind of
• 6:25
  behavior that makes you wonder if we need to start
• 6:28
  licensing who's allowed to interact with other human beings, because
• 6:32
  clearly the screening process is failed somewhere. Imagine having the
• 6:36
  gall to step into a courtroom and declare under oath
• 6:39
  with a straight face, that you deserve part of a
• 6:41
  dead woman's estate over her own children. How do you
• 6:44
  not spontaneously combust from shame. I would dissolve into ash.
• 6:48
  I would apologize to the universe and crawl into a
• 6:51
  shame cave and never resurface. Not these two throughout here
• 6:55
  throwing confetti like they just solve world hunger. And what
• 6:59
  the hell the argument? Anyway? What's the legal stance, your honor?
• 7:03
  We dusted the mantle and therefore deserve half. I once
• 7:06
  send an email on our behalf, and shall now claim
• 7:08
  the kingdom? Are we doing medieval feudalism again? Should we
• 7:13
  knight the gardener while we're at it? And how disgusting
• 7:15
  is the timing? It's the fact that they waited until
• 7:19
  she was gone. They didn't dare try this while Virginia
• 7:21
  was alive because they know exactly how it would have gone.
• 7:25
  They would have been launched into orbit without a helmet.
• 7:27
  But now now they see grief and vulnerability and think jackpot.
• 7:32
  It's the moral equivalent of looting a house while the
• 7:35
  firefighters are still dragging hoses through the living room. Actually,
• 7:39
  no scratch that looters at least have the decency to
• 7:42
  do it quietly, and don't think for a second that
• 7:45
  the public isn't taken notes. People have had enough of
• 7:48
  opportunistic barnacles who treat tragedy like a sweepsteak's entry. These
• 7:53
  two geniuses have officially secured their legacy. They'll poster children
• 7:56
  for what happens when greed rots the brain like wet
• 7:59
  dry wall. You ever see someone trip on a sidewalk
• 8:03
  because they're so busy looking at their phone that they
• 8:05
  face plan into a bush. That's these clowns, except instead
• 8:09
  of a bush, it's national outrage. Instead of a scrape knee,
• 8:13
  it's the annihilation of their reputations. There is a special
• 8:17
  circle of hell reserved for people who pray on grief.
• 8:20
  They'll sit right between ticket scalpers and people who fake
• 8:24
  injuries for lawsuits. The only thing missing is a neon
• 8:27
  sign that says this is why people hate humanity. So yeah,
• 8:32
  miss me with the But they're entitled conversation. They're entitled
• 8:35
  to a chair, a sandwich, and a long walk off
• 8:38
  a short pier. The only people who should receive one
• 8:41
  penny from the estate are Virginia's children, not the lawyer,
• 8:45
  not the housekeeper, not the ups guy, not the person
• 8:48
  who wants held the door open for her at Starbucks.
• 8:51
  Greed is a disease, and these two are in the
• 8:54
  final stage infection, terminal, no cure. And when this blows
• 8:58
  up in their faces, and it will, I hope they
• 9:01
  enjoyed the sound of the door slamming shut on their
• 9:03
  own dignity, not that they had any to begin with.
• 9:06
  Because if you look at a dead woman's kids and
• 9:09
  see a target instead of a responsibility, you don't deserve money.
• 9:13
  You deserve exile. But unfortunately, I guess that's where we're at, folks,
• 9:18
  a world where a mother is barely in the ground,
• 9:21
  where her kids are staring down the barrel of a
• 9:23
  future they never asked for. And instead of compassion, instead
• 9:27
  of space to grieve, what shows up two opportunists crawling
• 9:31
  out of the drywall like termites with lawsuits in their teeth,
• 9:34
  trying to pry loose whatever scraps they can sink into,
• 9:37
  not because they need it, not because they deserve it,
• 9:40
  but because they smelled money, and their souls evaporated. If
• 9:44
  you ever wanted to see the purest most unfiltered form
• 9:47
  of greed. You're looking at it right now. I mean,
• 9:50
  usually we're talking about Wall Street bankers, or a hedge
• 9:53
  fund ghoul, or some billionaire cartoon villain twirling a monocle.
• 9:57
  But this time it's a lawyer and a housekeeper elbowing
• 10:00
  their way past children who lost their mother. That's who
• 10:03
  decided that there wants matter more than these kids needs.
• 10:07
  There's no lesson here, no moral arc bending towards justice,
• 10:11
  no grant reviewal just the same ass rotten truth we
• 10:14
  keep being force fed. When there's money on the line,
• 10:17
  humanity leaves the room and the scavengers come marching in.
• 10:21
  And if you ever wondered why people are so goddamn
• 10:23
  angry all the time, why nobody trusts anyone anymore, why
• 10:27
  cynicism is the fault setting now look no further, because
• 10:31
  if this is what we're calling normal, if this is
• 10:33
  up for debate, if this is even a conversation, we're
• 10:37
  already lost. All of the information that goes with this
