Melinda Gates Faces Awful Epstein Discoveries
Melinda Gates spoke with NPR about the new discoveries in the Epstein files. This week she was every chump. You think it’s over, but you keep making more heart-shattering discoveries.

I don’t know if you’re all following the mind-bending Epstein file revelations, but for Melinda Gates, it’s got to feel like another D-Day. In the most recent document dump is correspondence that alleges (Bill Gates denies it) that he spiked Melinda’s food with antibiotics, to disguise an STI. Epstein says it came from one of his, um, er, foreign masseuses. (I’m tiptoeing past the Google AI censors…)
I believe it, because I don’t put much past FWs.
If this blog has taught me anything, it’s that those secret sexual basements are much darker and deeper than we ever knew, and they never come with sump pumps.
Melinda Gates spoke with NPR about the new sucker punches. (You can listen at the link above):
Melinda French Gates on Tuesday said that her ex-husband, Bill Gates, needs to answer for the behavior alleged in the latest trove of private communications released in connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“For me, it’s personally hard whenever those details come up, right? Because it brings back memories of some very, very painful times in my marriage,” French Gates said in an interview on NPR’s Wild Card podcast.
“Whatever questions remain there of what — I can’t even begin to know all of it — those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband,” she said. “They need to answer to those things, not me.”
Way to put that blame where it belongs, Melinda!
Once again, as she’s done in every interview about her ex, Bill Gates, she’s a class act and refuses to answer for him. Whack! She spikes that question over the net.
“They need to answer to those things, not me.”
Melinda Gates
Yep. That’s right. We’re going to cut that “What’d you do to make him cheat” implication right off at its knees. And then we’re going to remove the boulder of “Please explain your ex to us. Chart that hidden basement!” As if providing analysis into a FW is HER job. Nope, it is not.
Even if she never takes the bait, she has to continually rise above. Which is an unjust position to be in.
In emails, Epstein wrote that Bill Gates had come to him to facilitate trysts with married women and to get medication to treat an STI from “sex with Russian girls.”
Epstein also claimed that Bill Gates wanted to try to give that STI medication to Melinda French Gates in secret.
“To add insult to the injury you then implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda and the description of your penis,” outlined one angry email from Epstein.
This seems dodgy. If you give more money than the World Health Organization does to eradicate disease, doesn’t it stand to reason you could score your own Amoxicillin?
Whatever is going on in the Epstein files, it’s got to be a continual horror show to Melinda Gates and her children. All the wealth in the world cannot insulate you from the nightmare of having D-Day after D-day on the public stage. Bill Gates completely deserves that scrutiny, Melinda and the kids do not. But he put them there.
Can you relate? If someone came up to me today and said “Oh, you’re ex is a Furry and he has fourteen grandchildren with his 7th wife who is also his cousin” I’d just shrug. It is entirely possible. That’s the thing with double lives — anything’s possible. You’ve got no idea what’s in there, but once you’ve seen some depravity, there’s probably more.
I’m forever grateful that I filed first. If it’s someone I don’t know well, my answer is, “We didn’t share the same morals. That’s why I divorced him.” And then I move on, or move the conversation on.
I hope that leaves them wondering what morals those are, since they could be anything and everything.
Sometimes I give a quick summary of how he fell for a catfish scam and sent tens of thousands of dollars in less than 2 months to someone he never spoke to. It’s true, and I have the paper documentation of their emails, plus paper receipts, all printed out. Then I explain that I also discovered he was pretending all the following: To be an MD, to be a veteran, to have MBAs from two ivy league universities, etc. Since it’s likely they believed one or more of these major lies, they realize he lied to them, too. And I sometimes mention that per court order, on the advice of police DHS and a PRE, he can never again have contact with youngest child. The latter goes against his narrative that I was crazy, violent and dangerous.
Although he did much, much more, I don’t share anything that I can’t readily prove with paperwork.
I can’t help, but wonder if she could be subpoenaed for any at all information that she obviously has more of than she is letting on in public.
I believe that the truth of what has happened to all of these poor girls both alive and now dead would be even more shocking Than what is going on and the detention camps used to distract us from looking at what these monsters did to little girls.
I will never believe Virginia’s death was a suicide, just like Marilyn Monroe, she knew too much and very powerful men have enough money to stage any kind of death and make it look believable even writing a not explaining it all, if she had a gun to her head she would do just that. No way she killed herself, she had small children, and was in a good place, in spite of everything.
ZERO concern about Melinda’s health, only about keeping his sleazy secret.
The most humiliating conversation I had was after my private investigator caught SparkleDick in the act, my attorney told me to make an emergency appointment with my OBGYN for testing. I’d known this man (attorney superstar) for ages, he played golf with my father weekly, I babysat his children as a teenager and he had to tell me to protect myself. Really cringe.
FWs are all the same aren’t they?
Two years after my divorce was final, I learned that former fake husband had opened an illicit massage parlor with the primary AP, who he obviously must have met while patronizing one. She is managing the business and also one of the workers providing sexual services. There is no monogamy between them…according to queries he left on an illicit massage parlor review site, he wanted to “see a girl in each state” driving home from a business trip.
So I was not discarded for romantic wonderful healthy True Love after all. Good news, except this escapade of infidelity and current Epstein news has really taught me that I can really never fully know another person. That there are no guarantees or fail-safe screening methods. That marriage means jack to many.
A friend called me yesterday with news that she is getting divorced again. Her seventeen year old daughter just revealed that Stepdad had molested her at age seven. JFC.
If I ever decide to get into a relationship again,
my strategy is to FIRST be good and solid and OK being alone, emotionally and financially.
SECOND, do the best I can vetting a partner. THIRD, if and when dealbreaking information comes in, stop, drop, and walk away.
I remember a detective telling me that you only know another person as much as they will let you.
I can report that I was with Former Fake Husband for 27 years.
Therapy was a frequent regular part of our relationship THE ENTIRE TIME. I had asked that we go because we both grew up in very troubled alcoholic families and I wanted to learn healthy relationship skills. He went.
Neither of us had any parents who had been divorced but were only ever married to each other.
I found out at year 27 about his secret sexual double life and that he had been lying the whole time. That I spent 27 years with someone and did not know who he was.
Therapy in and of itself means jack.
IMHO, therapy is a waste of time after you find out someone has secret sexual double life. Get on the first train out of Cheaterville and get away from people who are cool with f**king people over.
People who are capable of genuine love are not capable of deceiving and abusing others.
I remember a detective telling me that you only know another person as much as they will let you.
The therapist who diagnosed my ex with BPD/NPD said the same. In her opinion, the BPD made it very likely that my marriage was going to crumble, and when the NPD raged, it was over. My ex worked in the intelligence community, and in her opinion, that was a factor. Doing classified work is one thing, but taking on lies where you have to hide your employer and use other names will ultimately mess with your personhood. His delusional thinking was so extreme that even his own attorney complained to mine about that.
Then, when my divorce started going badly, my attorney quipped, “Well, you unmasked him to be the immature jerk that he always was.” Yes, he was incapable.
I have zero interest in partnering up again, at my age. Too much drama to sift through IMHO. And that’s OK.
It only goes to show how skilled these FW’s are at projecting the good guy image to the world. Rich or poor, sociopathy knows no difference. Maybe there’s a book out there for them called the “world owes me because I am special”. Sadly, though the rich are so much less likely to face the consequences of their actions other than maybe an expensive divorce. Mine finally got jail time but I have realized that even that doesn’t compensate for the horrible damage they do. Kudos to Melinda for her strength and dignity. I hope her FW finally has to face some consequences.
Epstein is a perfect example of a monster hiding in plain sight. He used his money, power and privilege to facilitate, normalise and spread his depravity amongst those who would have had you believe that they are the “Great and the Good.” I think that Melinda Gates’ response – that these are questions for her Ex-Husband to answer – is perfect, but I’m willing to bet that her Ex-Husband will do everything that he can to dodge the question.
It saddens me to think that the likelihood of those that share Epstein’s guilt will be held to account – and that his victims will see justice prevail – is infinitesimally low.

So grateful for MGF’s voice and hope all journalists and elected officials will follow her direction and place blame where it belongs. And I hope voters will refuse to accept deflection and increasingly dangerous distractions.
I found that being no contact with my ex and, ultimately, with his family meant I never was asked the reason I filed. My response would have been “It was my decision, but he gave me no choice”.
I inadvertently reversed Melinda’s initials (perhaps thinking she would choose to keep just her maiden name). She guided the foundation with character and I’ll always be interested in what she has to say.
It is disheartening that so many national voices are lying and so many are silent. It mirrors the betrayal of infidelity.
She says that in the link above. “I had to go, I had to go.” I didn’t want to go, but I HAD TO. Which is another important part of claiming the narrative. This person would’ve stayed married to me, continued to harm me, used me as a shield of normalcy and I — ME the victim — had to end it.
I wonder how many thousands of other pages have been shredded, burned, etc to protect the powers that be including the sitting President, we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg and thats more frightening than anything.
Once I had accepted the relationship was over I was also sure this could not have been the first affair or attempted affair. During the 18 month secret affair that ended the marriage he was a master of hiding secrecy in apparent transparency – he was visiting a colleague’s exhibition because they needed support. I remembered previous years when occasionally similar reasons were given for meeting with people. But it was still a shock 7 years after D-day when a colleague told me 18 months ago that other people knew at the time of historic affairs. Part of me would like to interrogate this further but I have decided not to. I knew anyway, although not the detail. I do think more will come out but I’m not going looking for it. It does not actually matter to where I am in my life. My heart goes out to Melinda Gates to be learning this in the public eye.
She is so authentic. The way she expresses herself about her ex is the way I feel.
Can’t help but think of Melinda receiving back alley Healthcare because that was her value to him.
Ive had this ugly gut feeling that maybe law enforcement will be on my porch one day asking about bodies buried long ago and he is the suspect. They will ask, Would he be capable of such a thing?” “Yes. Absolutely yes.” I even noticed when he packed his clothes and left after d day, there was a little collection of “trophies” related to our 40 year marriage. Little things he kept to remind him of his conquest. Eeeery. Serial killers do that.
I started watching that clip yesterday and her distress was so painful to see that I had to stop. That she kept her dignity and maintained her composure throughout shows what a class act she is. The same is true of MacKenzie Scott (Bezos’s ex). In both marriages, the wives were crucial to their husbands’ business success, and now that the marriages are over, the women are proving themselves superior in every respect.
This is exactly why divorce is really the only viable option to discovering infidelity. All of those articles and books that say, “He/she needs to be honest and tell you everything.” How on earth would I ever know that he told me everything? Obviously, he is great at lying and leading a double life, but now I’m going to believe he suddenly found Jesus the moment he got busted?
My former pastor literally sent me a letter telling me to reconcile and that “your husband has been more faithful lately, and you have no objective reason to doubt this.” Uh… how about twenty years of lying? Is that OBJECTIVE enough? Sure enough, I found out more stuff only a few weeks later. “Well, NOW he is telling you everything.”
I too found out my husband had me on meds. Nothing makes me madder than that. Cheaters do not care about their victims. And they have zero qualms about messing up your health.
When I was being pressured by a therapist to agree to having Cheaty McLiarface take a lie detector test, I repeatedly declined. I was just coming to understand the double life Cheaty had created. That meant that he was a pathological liar. That meant that he had a lifetime to practice lying. That meant that his betrayal was because of his lack of integrity. That meant case closed. Oh, and he was trained in biofeedback. So, he would have turned passing the test into one of his little manipulation games that he found so rewarding. I’m on the sideline now, getting ready to walk away from the playing field.
Once I tangled with this personality in my personal life, it was exceedingly clear that Trump and his billionaire peers were cut of the same petty, vindictive cloth. Only he was handed far deeper resources and connections to run the grift. Watching people in my hometown fall for it just like they fell for my Ex’s display. Nothing in the current events surprises me.
Trump’s entire administration has been dominated by his absolute inability to be told “No” in any single context.
He’s surrounded, supported and cheering on by people who are enablers, abusers and folks who have been convinced their disenfranchisement will be solved if they put the boot to someone else’s neck.
If they are not stopped, we’re looking at the end of American democracy. This is what it looks like when these disordered personalities are put in charge. They will do and have done horrific things just because they feel whatever they do is right and self enriching to no limit.
Melinda was very classy as always to shift the focus and empathy to the other victims who don’t have her financial resources. I hope we can build a world where these women actually get justice.
“”I AM MICROSOFT!” -Bill Gates. Mrs. Gates had no comment.” -Whoopi Goldburg
Kudos to the ex-Mrs. Gates for being mighty!
I have this sort of perverse need to untangle of the skein of “what is a Traitor (THANKS GOOGLE!)?” My background in research in assessment and lifetime curiosity in things would very much like to create a test so I can drop a template on disordered behaviors and go “yup, that idiot is cheating!”
Sounds fruitless, I know. Exercise in futility.
I think “bizarre solution to an emergent problem” would rank pretty high in scoring. Usually it seems like regular old lies and gaslighting. When I found out that the idiot here spiked his wife’s food with antibiotics, never you mind that depending on the pharmacokinetics of whatever it was for(we’ll know before long I imagine) may actually be counteracted in that same food rather than, oh I don’t know, doing nothing, letting her get sick, and then regular ol’ DARVO…yeah. Or even “just slipping it in with her regular meds”. Big indicator. I think I will call the category “elaborate, insane cover-up.”
Like our fearless leader…little surprises me anymore. I’ve spent most of my career saying “stranger things have happened.” They just seem common now. It’s getting to the point where non-disordered behavior is becoming the rarity. I wonder of Epstein, in being “the fixer” ever foresaw getting an email from Bill Gates about his bathing suit area…particularly given that he could very clearly afford his own private counsel on this that would never get out.
I talked to a guy at a party in the last year that claimed to work for the company that manufactures/services the private jets that Mr. Gates utilizes (he was “a few in” and might have been “full of it” as like myself the guy seemed to be a storyteller, but take this walk with me). He said he gets to work one day and there is Mr. Gates’ get. Evidently he dropped his wedding ring in there and couldn’t find it and wanted it disassembled until the ring was found. So “cost of a sports car later”, they have the thing completely disassembled and there is no ring. It came out in the wash that he knew the ring was missing and he was trying to demonstrate to his wife that he made every effort to find it knowing it wasn’t there.
Perhaps it was just a fish story by someone in need of attention and filling the silence. But after recent revelations? Sounds a lot more plausible in the cold light of morning.
Feliz Jueves!
To remind us chumps of my news flash this week..if cheaters put antibiotics into food to treat their smarter- than -me chumped wives( I never put 2+2 together with my 2.5 years of NON STOP STIs) then where is the line to making smoothies with Castor beans or arsenic coffees?? OR bringing home smallpox blankets???( OOOPs wrong century)or causing a car accident on your side of the car or or or?? Horrible me right?? But by going outside the home for sex, knowingly getting me pregnant on the One day he felt guilty during his 3 year affair, mind bending with lies day after day year after year causing mental instability in the chump, meaness, requiring full time dancing from mothers who care for THEIR OWN CHILDREN, risking the chumps life every single day???? Is that not murder or emotional destruction by slow drip? Both my cheater Xs kept guns everywhere, my last one had them all over the bedroom, even under and behind the bed. This is with multiple massage people and coworkers in his merry-go- round buffet.
I had already emailed Melinda Gates and told her about Tracy and her book. I applauded her dignity and her willingness to openly share… as many chumps just keep their mouths shut for safety. I hope she got my message but Melinda is one MIGHTY woman of integrity . All of us chumps can be too. Thank you Tracy for your Rosetta stone interpretation of cheaters entrails and for pointing out all the Exit signs. I would not be half the mighty Chump I am today without your signboard and warning lights along the way Forever grateful. Thank you Melinda Gates for the woman you became for all of us
