Ghislaine Maxwell Makes Shocking Claim About Infamous Prince Andrew Photo
America's most infamous woman (next to Hilary Diane Rodham Clinton), Jeffrey Epstein's partner in sex crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, is back in the news after being the subject of a jailhouse interview.
By now we have all seen this photo featuring Prince Andrew and Epstein and Maxwell's most infamous victim, Virginia Giuffre:
Photo from 2001 that was included in court files shows Prince Andrew with his arm around the waist of 17-year-old Virginia Giuffre, who says Jeffrey Epstein paid her to have sex with the prince. Andrew has denied the charges. In the background is Epstein's girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. (U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals)
Well, Maxwell used her interview to throw an enormous monkey wrench into the entire story and allegations made against the 'former royal' ( I think he is a 'former' now … or maybe not, I'm not up on the latest Monarch gossip.)
Check out what Fox News reported:
Convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell alleged in her first jailhouse interview that the notorious photograph of Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre at her London home in 2000 is likely a "fake," claiming that she has "no memory" of introducing the pair more than two decades ago.
The Oxford-educated Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence in a Florida federal prison for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade, was recently interviewed by British broadcaster Jeremy Kyle from behind bars.
The full interview is expected to air on Monday on TalkTV. In clips released as teasers for the special, Maxwell, with a phone to her ear at FTC Tallahassee, speaks of Epstein.
"I feel completely divorced from the person that people reference and talk about, and all the various newspaper articles and TV shows and podcasts," Maxwell said.
She also described the Duke of York as a "dear friend" who should be "uplifted" after Giuffre dropped a separate sexual abuse lawsuit against American lawyer Alan Dershowitz in November.
Giuffre admitted in court documents that she "may have made a mistake" in claiming Dershowitz had abused her as a teenager.
"Her story frankly has changed multiple times. It's very hard to know really what's true or not," Maxwell said, according to The Telegraph, adding that the true story "has yet to unfold."
"I have no memory of them meeting and I don't think that picture is real," Maxwell added of the photograph. "There is no original of that photo, [only] copies of it that have been produced, copies of copies. Parts of it, according to some experts, looks like it has been photoshopped."
