The Diddy Diaries

Les Wexner’s Epstein-related deposition landed less like a breakthrough and more like another controlled pass through already familiar terrain: Wexner said Epstein conned him, denied knowing anything about Epstein’s sex trafficking, denied participating in abuse, and tried to frame the relationship as professional rather than personal. He described Epstein as a family-office figure who managed par...

In the memorandum responding to the psychological reconstruction of inmate Jeffrey Epstein dated September 17, 2019, MCC New York Warden J. Petrucci addressed findings related to Epstein’s mental state and the events leading up to his death while housed in the Special Housing Unit.

Donald Trump has refiled his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting on an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein that was said to have appeared in a 2003 birthday album compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump denies writing the letter and his amended complaint continues to argue that no authentic letter or drawing exists, even though the House Oversight...

Fidelity opened a brokerage account for a Jeffrey Epstein-owned company in mid-April 2019, just months before Epstein’s July 2019 arrest and at a time when public outrage over his earlier sweetheart deal was already intensifying. The account was opened for Southern Trust Company, Epstein’s Virgin Islands-based entity, and it received more than $5 million before Fidelity apparently moved to restric...

Jess Michaels, a Jeffrey Epstein survivor, accused Buckingham Palace of helping shield Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor by failing to act on damaging material it reportedly received years earlier. The central issue is an archive of roughly 30,000 emails allegedly handed to the Palace’s Lord Chamberlain in May 2020, tied to Andrew’s work as a UK trade envoy and his dealings with powerful business figures...

New Mexico’s Epstein Survivors Truth Commission has issued its first major round of subpoenas as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch, the sprawling property outside Santa Fe that has long been tied to allegations of abuse, trafficking, and institutional failure. The commission, created by New Mexico lawmakers in early 2026, is seeking records from more than a dozen...

Amanda Ungaro, a former Brazilian model and former partner of Paolo Zampolli, claimed in a deleted online recording that Melania Trump knew Jeffrey Epstein before she met Donald Trump and that Epstein, not Zampolli, was the person who introduced the couple. The allegations also point to a reported 2019 FBI proffer interview in which a former Epstein assistant allegedly said Epstein introduced Mela...

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with the Dubin family was strange because it did not fit the normal pattern of someone being socially exiled after a sex-crime conviction. Eva Andersson-Dubin dated Epstein for roughly a decade before marrying hedge-fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, and Epstein remained close enough to the family that he reportedly described himself as having introduced Eva and Glenn. Ev...

Ian Maxwell’s BBC interview was controversial because it gave Ghislaine Maxwell’s brother a national platform immediately after her conviction to argue that she remained innocent, that the case against her was flawed, and that her defense had been crippled by the conditions of her confinement before trial. He portrayed the appeal as centered on claims that she had been unable to properly prepare,...

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Woody Allen was not some passing handshake or random name in an address book. Public reporting and released records have described Allen and Soon-Yi Previn as longtime friends and neighbors of Epstein in New York, with the three dining together often and maintaining contact even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Newly released emails added more texture to that re...
