While accepting a Grammy award, producer James Keach inadvertently thanked infamous sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
The faux pas happened when 73-year-old Keach was given the award for ‘Best Music Film’ for Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice.
“Excellent. I want to thank Linda Ronstadt for allowing us to make this movie, Rob Friedman, Jeffrey Epstein,” Keach said during a video link up.

He had apparently mixed up the names of the film’s two directors, Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, resulting in him naming the billionaire pedophile instead.
Whoops!
“Was that for a bet?” asked one respondent on Twitter.
“If you’re feeling down just remember that you aren’t the guy who just accidentally thanked jeffrey epstein for his grammy,” wrote another.
Perhaps it’s unsurprising that Keach made the mistake given the previous regularity of actors, producers and other Hollywood thanking Epstein’s fellow sex predator Harvey Weinstein at awards ceremonies for years.
