Ghislaine Maxwell brands Prince Andrew photo a ‘fake’ in interview from prison

Disgraced British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell said that believes that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered.

In an interview for TalkTV’s Jeremy Kyle Live: Ghislaine Behind Bars, that aired on Monday night, Maxwell also said she wishes she had never met the disgraced financier.

Epstein was found dead in his cell at a federal jail in Manhattan in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His death was ruled a suicide.

Maxwell said: “I believe that he was murdered. I was shocked. Then I wondered how it had happened because as far as I was concerned, he was going to... I was sure he was going to appeal. And I was sure he was covered under the non-prosecution agreement.

“But I wasn’t in the indictment. I wasn’t mentioned. I wasn’t even one of the co-conspirators. I honestly wish I had never met him.”

Maxwell, 61, was convicted of sex offences for her part in Epstein’s sex abuse ring.
