Convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has broken her silence from prison regarding a years-long “special relationship” with former President Bill Clinton.
She also dished on other notables who were pals with the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in her first interview since landing behind bars.
“Yes, I follow what is happening to him,” Maxwell said about Prince Andrew. “He is paying such a price for the association with Jeffrey Epstein. I care about him, and I feel so bad for him.
“There are many people who have been impacted by this story who have been canceled, some friends of mine who never even met Epstein lost their jobs. People who literally had nothing to do with him whatsoever have been canceled,” she told the Daily Mail.
“So I think for all those people, including some of them who never met him, it’s been a very heavy price that has been paid due to the cancel culture. So, you know, from that perspective, I think it’s been very difficult for a lot of people. I accept that this friendship could not survive my conviction,” Maxwell continued.
“I don’t have an expectation. People who I have been friends with – and very close friends with – whoever they may be, well, I can’t think about what they will want to do or not do. I can only control what I do,” she said before moving on to Clinton.
“It was a special friendship, which continued over the years,” she said of the former president. “We had lots in common. I feel bad that he is another victim, only because of his association with Jeffrey. I understand that he, like others, can no longer consider me as a friend.
“I said in open court in my statement that meeting Jeffrey Epstein was the greatest mistake of my life. And obviously, if I could go back today and I would avoid meeting him, and I would say that would be the greatest mistake I’ve ever made, and I would make different choices for where I would work. Obviously,” Maxwell continued.
“I think there are many women who can identify with my story. Many have either fallen in love with or had relationships with men that, in hindsight, they look back on and say, ‘What was I thinking?’ I imagine there’s not a woman on the planet who would not think that about one or other of their boyfriends.
“There were things to mention here about him that I cannot discuss because of the appeal, but I can’t say anything more than that. All this is a fictional version of me. It has been created to fit the storyline. It has nothing to do with who I am,” she claimed.
Maxwell is imprisoned in Florida, where she is serving a 20-year sentence.
