Ghislaine Maxwell: Stinkreich

This was a film about the young girls Maxwell delivered to Epstein. But there was more going on.

There was an island, there were powerful people flying to the island. Girls were groomed and provided for these powerful and wealthy people.

It left out the other powerful people affected - with the exception of a prince Andrew.

The documentary focused on Ghislaine, going from past to present. It discussed her family life, her father who died (fell of yacht) and how after his death, huge discrepancies in his companies' finances were revealed, including his fraudulent misappropriation of the Mirror Group pension fund.

More could have been done to honestly explore her interesting childhood, her upbringing (father Jewish, mother protestant), career with her father, what she was like growing up etc.

It was shallow and focused somewhat on her life of glamour without delving into the details of her repulsive psyche. It offered no insight or truth.

There just isn't enough here. The show is way too short. It gives you an idea of what kind of horrible person she is and of course the twisted relationship her and Epstein had. I don't believe that if they had never met they wouldn't be near as bad as they are together.

Now what they did to these under age girls was so awful. I think Epstein got off easy and avoided punishment by committing suicide. I hope she is in jail for the rest of her life. That being said some of these adult women I think just might be looking for a payday. They are adults can't they say NO. It's not like they were threatened with bodily harm or death. One even admitted taking $200 and then cried saying she didn't have the words to say stop or no. Just because you may be uncomfortable in a sexual situation to me that isn't assault that's just regret. If you just go along with it and don't say I don't want to do this how do they know you don't really want too. Not only that but if you are put in a creepy situation and you really didn't want what happened to happen then why in the world would you go back over and over again. Your an adult a grown woman if you had been assaulted, taken advantage of, then don't go back. To me that sounds like you are choosing to do it again. You may think back now and go, I really didn't want to do that, hay that means I am a victim. That diminishes the real victims. I just don't think it was a very good documentary. It's like I didn't get the whole story.

This felt like a re-hash of another documentary about the same woman that I watched a few months ago, with hardly anything new in terms of scandalous revelations. While I don't doubt that Ghislaine Maxwell deserves to spend the rest of her life in prison, it's difficult to ignore the nagging feeling that she has been hung out to dry as a scapegoat. There are many super-rich individuals who are not being named even if we can guess at the identities of a handful of them.

So I found this latest Filthy Rich 'documentary' a total anti-climax, although in fairness it would be interesting if you haven't seen any previous offerings from other production companies.

And I wonder if I will live long enough to see the as yet unmade Filthy Rich documentary that, for once, really exposes the scandals we haven't been told yet. That would be worth watching.

There are literal records of people who visited Epstein's island. Until they are made public and every single name mentioned in them investigated rigorously, this will be one of the most blatant misuses of power that the general public has been made aware of, and then ignored.

Make no mistake. This entire saga is no more an indictment of the people responsible than of the people who take it with a proverbial grain of salt.

We know these crimes persist. There are more billionaires with islands and resorts and ranches and they will not persist with their monstrous crimes.

This isn't a success. This is a sad proclamation that we can do nothing to affect change to how the rich and powerful choose to live.

Interviews with ALL these "ex" friends of Ghislaine coming out now? Hmmm, where were they when all this stuff was going down? Now all of a sudden every ex friend of hers wants to tell their story. Pretty sure these people were either involved or knew what was going on! SO many "ex" friends talking out NOW 🙄. Give me a break, they knew and are just as disgusting as her. They even say they saw "signs" but did nothing. Seriously?! These are people that knew her VERY well and they're just now coming out saying stuff? They knew the whole time and were probably a part of the whole thing. They're just "finally" speaking out now to make themselves seem innocent.
