Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Jeffrey Epstein’s Alleged Plot to Blackmail Sarah Ferguson
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Now I know people want to tell you
- 0:07Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Epstein wasn't engaging in any kind of compromise
- 0:11Speaker 1: or blackmail, but the evidence certainly points us in a
- 0:14Speaker 1: different direction. Whether it's Bill Gates or if it's Sarah Ferguson.
- 0:21Speaker 1: And after Sarah Ferguson gave an interview about Jeffrey Epstein
- 0:25Speaker 1: back in the day, Jeffrey Epstein was not very happy.
- 0:30Speaker 1: And that's because Sarah Ferguson called him a pedophile in
- 0:33Speaker 1: that interview. And as you can imagine, her supreme friend,
- 0:36Speaker 1: Uncle Jeffy, is not a happy camper. So today we
- 0:40Speaker 1: have an article from the iPaper and the headline, Inside
- 0:44Speaker 1: Epstein's Plot to Blackmail Sarah Ferguson Over Pedophile Comments. This
- 0:49Speaker 1: article was authored by Sonia Burgess. Jeffrey Epstein was preparing
- 0:55Speaker 1: to blackmail Sarah Ferguson... after she used an interview to
- 0:58Speaker 1: distance herself from the convicted pedophile publicly, new emails reveal.
- 1:04Speaker 1: In 2011, days after Ferguson told the Evening Standard newspaper
- 1:08Speaker 1: that she abhorred pedophilia and any sexual abuse of children,
- 1:12Speaker 1: and described accepting money from Epstein as a gigantic error
- 1:15Speaker 1: of judgment, he collated a dossier of written exchanges highlighting
- 1:20Speaker 1: their close relationship. Dossier. Epstein had dossiers on everybody he
- 1:26Speaker 1: was close with. whether he was going to use them
- 1:28Speaker 1: or not. Information is power. And all of these people
- 1:33Speaker 1: have plenty of money, right? But guess what they're all
- 1:36Speaker 1: clamoring for? Information. And we know that Jeffrey Epstein, for
- 1:41Speaker 1: everything else, was a repository of that. And that's what
- 1:44Speaker 1: made him so useful to all these people around him.
- 1:49Speaker 1: The extracts were sent to Epstein's lawyers and a public
- 1:52Speaker 1: relations expert for the legal team to and included a
- 1:55Speaker 1: message in which Ferguson attempted to arrange a visit to
- 1:58Speaker 1: Epstein with her daughters, then aged 19 and 20, at
- 2:02Speaker 1: his Palm Beach home shortly after he was released from
- 2:04Speaker 1: prison in 2010 for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Imagine
- 2:10Speaker 1: being that brain dead. Mrs. Fergie over here gonna bring
- 2:14Speaker 1: her two daughters over to a notorious sex predator's house.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Like what the fuck is wrong with you? Now, look,
- 2:23Speaker 1: we know that Epstein didn't go after girls like Beatrice
- 2:26Speaker 1: or Eugenie, but that's not the point. Why the fuck
- 2:29Speaker 1: would you have your daughters around a predator like this man?
- 2:33Speaker 1: I'll never understand it. And never mind having your daughters
- 2:36Speaker 1: around him. What are you doing around him? Like what
- 2:41Speaker 1: sort of brain dead idiot decides they're going to hang
- 2:43Speaker 1: out with Jeffrey Epstein? And you know what? I got
- 2:46Speaker 1: an even better idea. Let me go get my daughters
- 2:48Speaker 1: and bring them too. Conversations captured in the Epstein files
- 2:54Speaker 1: suggest this incriminating information was used to attempt to pressure
- 2:58Speaker 1: Ferguson into a public climb-down. A legal letter was written
- 3:02Speaker 1: to Ferguson's lawyer in April of 2011, after the former
- 3:06Speaker 1: royal's comments sparked a flurry of reporting on Epstein, urging
- 3:10Speaker 1: her to reconsider her current stance, and if she did not,
- 3:14Speaker 1: Epstein's team said that they would undermine the credibility of
- 3:17Speaker 1: those comments by pointing out that your client and her
- 3:20Speaker 1: daughters were among the first to enjoy my client's hospitality
- 3:23Speaker 1: upon his release from prison and continued to do so
- 3:27Speaker 1: until very recently. Well, look, if a camel's a camel,
- 3:32Speaker 1: you gotta call it that, right? And we all know
- 3:35Speaker 1: that Fergie has no problem using Jeffrey Epstein's largesse. And
- 3:39Speaker 1: she didn't give a shit about any of the nonsense
- 3:42Speaker 1: that Epstein was up to Oh, she'll say she does. Oh,
- 3:44Speaker 1: I care about pedophilia. I care about children. Then the
- 3:48Speaker 1: next sentence, she's making reservations over at her buddy Epstein's house.
- 3:53Speaker 1: So please spare me. This woman right here, Fergie, she's vile. Sorry,
- 3:58Speaker 1: she's vile. The note was branded a threat by Ferguson's representative,
- 4:05Speaker 1: who described the tone of the email as somewhat alarming,
- 4:08Speaker 1: adding that it could be construed as attempted blackmail. Well,
- 4:11Speaker 1: that's what it was. Not construed. Let's be honest. And
- 4:15Speaker 1: I've told you for a very long time now. If
- 4:18Speaker 1: dumbass Prince Andrew was smart, which we know he's not,
- 4:21Speaker 1: he would have claimed that he was blackmailed by Epstein
- 4:23Speaker 1: this whole time. The second Epstein was arrested, he would
- 4:26Speaker 1: have thrown Epstein under the bus. Bro, I had no
- 4:29Speaker 1: fucking clue what was happening here. I thought this was
- 4:32Speaker 1: just some rich guy with some crazy proclivities. I had
- 4:35Speaker 1: no idea what I was getting myself into. But Prince
- 4:39Speaker 1: Andrew couldn't do that, right? Because he knew. that he
- 4:43Speaker 1: was guilty as sin. And that not only was he
- 4:46Speaker 1: accepting whatever he was accepting from Epstein, but he was
- 4:49Speaker 1: also engaging in the abuse, at least with Virginia. And
- 4:54Speaker 1: I believe every single word that Virginia said, especially when
- 4:57Speaker 1: it comes to bitch-ass Prince Andrew. Other emails between Epstein
- 5:03Speaker 1: and those advising him show they discuss ways to turn
- 5:05Speaker 1: up the heat on Ferguson. Well, look, that's what they do.
- 5:10Speaker 1: It's a slow boil, right? and then eventually it gets
- 5:13Speaker 1: up to terminal heat, and that's when you're cooked. As
- 5:18Speaker 1: well as revealing the former Duchess of York took her
- 5:21Speaker 1: daughters to visit Epstein shortly after his release from prison
- 5:24Speaker 1: in Florida, Epstein also collated messages in which she appeared
- 5:28Speaker 1: to plead for his help, such as asking him to
- 5:31Speaker 1: employ her and telling him, you are my pillar. Imagine
- 5:35Speaker 1: writing Jeffrey Epstein and calling him your pillar? More like
- 5:39Speaker 1: writing him an email and telling him to go get
- 5:41Speaker 1: flucked You're my pillar. He added a note alleging that
- 5:45Speaker 1: Ferguson had used his Florida property to entertain one of
- 5:48Speaker 1: her lovers and a millionaire businessman she was attempting to
- 5:51Speaker 1: secure a lucrative deal with. When asked for a response
- 5:55Speaker 1: to Epstein's attempts to get her to publicly defend him
- 5:58Speaker 1: and to the claims made in his messages, Ferguson and
- 6:01Speaker 1: her representative, who acted on her behalf in the 2011 emails,
- 6:05Speaker 1: both declined to comment. Of course they did. They know
- 6:09Speaker 1: that they're in the wrong. and they know that nobody
- 6:11Speaker 1: with a brain is going to believe anything that Sarah
- 6:14Speaker 1: Ferguson says. It doesn't surprise me one little bit, royal
- 6:18Speaker 1: historian Andrew Lowney said, of Epstein's apparent threat to blackmail
- 6:22Speaker 1: the former Duchess of York. Epstein was very angry. He'd
- 6:25Speaker 1: given her lots of money, and they were very close.
- 6:28Speaker 1: He wanted loyalty from people, and he thought that he
- 6:30Speaker 1: could buy that. Well, he did, until he got in trouble.
- 6:34Speaker 1: But real loyalty doesn't come on the back end of
- 6:36Speaker 1: some dough. Real loyalty is built over time, when you're
- 6:41Speaker 1: in the trenches, when you're doing dirt, when things get
- 6:44Speaker 1: rough and somebody's there for you. That's when loyalty is built.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Not by a check. Now that loyalty only goes so far, right?
- 6:52Speaker 1: As we see time and time again. The author of
- 6:57Speaker 1: entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York,
- 6:59Speaker 1: which charts the lives of Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as
- 7:03Speaker 1: well as their relationship with the pedophile financier, explained that
- 7:07Speaker 1: Epstein kept information on people for leverage, be it emails
- 7:10Speaker 1: or photos. Bingo. 1000%. And it's not even a debate.
- 7:16Speaker 1: Anybody who tells you otherwise has no idea what they're
- 7:19Speaker 1: talking about, and in my opinion, you should ignore everything
- 7:22Speaker 1: else they say about the topic. If you don't even
- 7:25Speaker 1: know the basics, I don't even want to hear from you.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Last week, the iPaper revealed that a photo appearing to
- 7:32Speaker 1: show Ferguson modeling as a young woman was framed and displayed,
- 7:36Speaker 1: in Epstein's Playboy Ranch in the U.S. Well, we know
- 7:39Speaker 1: that the Yorks had a lot of time and fun
- 7:42Speaker 1: down at Zorro Ranch. We heard that from multiple sources.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Ferguson apologized publicly. In the March 7, 2011 interview, after
- 7:51Speaker 1: it emerged, she had accepted around 15,000 pounds from the
- 7:55Speaker 1: convicted sex offender. She said, I personally, on behalf of myself,
- 8:00Speaker 1: deeply regret that Jeffrey Epstein became involved in any way
- 8:03Speaker 1: with me. She added, I abhor pedophilia and any sexual
- 8:07Speaker 1: abuse of children and know that this was a gigantic
- 8:11Speaker 1: error of judgment on my behalf. She would later be
- 8:14Speaker 1: exposed in the Epstein files as having potentially misled the
- 8:18Speaker 1: public by claiming that she had not personally contacted Epstein
- 8:21Speaker 1: for financial help following his 2008 conviction. Within days of
- 8:26Speaker 1: her comments appearing in print on March 9th, 2011, the
- 8:30Speaker 1: files show that Epstein appeared to hatch a plot to
- 8:32Speaker 1: leak damaging information about Ferguson to the press, including details
- 8:37Speaker 1: of how the then-Duchess visited Epstein while he was imprisoned
- 8:41Speaker 1: on a child sex offense. Look, if you're going to
- 8:46Speaker 1: hang out with the scorpion, and you're the frog, don't
- 8:49Speaker 1: get upset when the scorpion stings your ass when you're
- 8:52Speaker 1: trying to bring him across the river. It's just his nature, right? Well,
- 8:58Speaker 1: same can be said of Epstein. It's just his nature.
- 9:01Speaker 1: He had no friends. He had no confidants. He had
- 9:03Speaker 1: nobody that he cared about but Jeffrey Epstein. He had
- 9:06Speaker 1: no loyalty to country, not to America, not to Israel,
- 9:09Speaker 1: not anywhere. Jeffrey Epstein was the biggest me-first motherfucker maybe
- 9:14Speaker 1: in history, and that sure is saying something considering the
- 9:17Speaker 1: me-first motherfucker that's the president. The suggestion of leaking to
- 9:22Speaker 1: London press the absurdity of Fergie's statements is and there
- 9:26Speaker 1: were law enforcement people in my office when I was
- 9:29Speaker 1: on work release that let her in, is raised by
- 9:31Speaker 1: Epstein in an email to a public relations expert for
- 9:34Speaker 1: his legal team. On March 10th and March 12th, Epstein
- 9:39Speaker 1: forwarded personal correspondence between himself and Ferguson to his team.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Shortly after, on March 13th, Epstein and his lawyers and
- 9:47Speaker 1: their media experts debated other ways of trying to pressure her.
- 9:52Speaker 1: One of the legal team's media experts wrote, one of
- 9:54Speaker 1: your good friends, a member of the royal family, is
- 9:57Speaker 1: calling you a pedophile. If gentle person. doesn't work, it's
- 10:01Speaker 1: my view that we need to turn up the heat,
- 10:03Speaker 1: even to the point of sending her a draft defamation lawsuit.
- 10:07Speaker 1: And that would have just been a threat. Because Epstein
- 10:10Speaker 1: didn't want discovery, as we've all seen. I plead the 5th.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I plead the 5th. I plead the 5th. The tension
- 10:19Speaker 1: between the pair rumbled on, with efforts to put her
- 10:21Speaker 1: name to a letter of apology circulating between both sides
- 10:25Speaker 1: in the summer of that year. He made his anger
- 10:28Speaker 1: and expectations of Ferguson clear, writing on March 27th, Ferguson
- 10:31Speaker 1: sent a number of emails to Epstein apologizing directly, including
- 10:34Speaker 1: one note that read, I know you feel hellaciously let
- 10:47Speaker 1: down by me from what you were either told or read,
- 10:51Speaker 1: and I must humbly apologize to you and your heart
- 10:54Speaker 1: for that. Aw, poor Fergie. Upset because her buddy Epstein
- 10:59Speaker 1: was mad at her? Mad because the kitty's gonna run dry?
- 11:03Speaker 1: You vile, disgusting skafooza. By August 12th, Ferguson and Epstein
- 11:09Speaker 1: appear to be good friends once again, with him asking
- 11:12Speaker 1: her to call him and her replying, I would love
- 11:14Speaker 1: to call you. A second email is sent from Ferguson
- 11:18Speaker 1: seemingly after their call. The former duchess writes to Epstein
- 11:22Speaker 1: two words, big love. And now that that email is
- 11:25Speaker 1: available for people to take a look at, that big
- 11:28Speaker 1: love has now turned into big trouble. And if anybody
- 11:32Speaker 1: deserves it, it's certainly Sarah Ferguson. All of the information
- 11:37Speaker 1: that goes with this episode can be found in the
