Newly unsealed Epstein documents have reignited scrutiny on Bill Gates’ ties to the notorious sex trafficker, with explosive allegations that the Microsoft mogul engaged in illicit affairs leading to a secret health crisis – and his ex-wife’s reaction speaks volumes without a single rebuttal.
Melinda French Gates, in a raw NPR interview, expressed profound sorrow over the revelations, linking them directly to her decision to end the 27-year marriage and step away from their shared philanthropic empire.
The latest batch of Epstein files, released by the U.S. Department of Justice last week, includes draft emails Epstein penned to himself in July 2013. In them, he claimed Gates had extramarital “sex with Russian girls” that resulted in a sexually transmitted infection requiring antibiotics.
Epstein further alleged that Gates sought to “surreptitiously give” the medication to his then-wife Melinda without her knowledge, amid a “severe marital dispute.”
A spokesperson for Bill Gates vehemently dismissed the accusations, stating, “These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false.”
Yet, when pressed on the matter during her appearance on NPR’s “Wild Card” podcast, Melinda French Gates offered no denial. Instead, she conveyed deep emotional turmoil.
“Sad. Just unbelievable sadness. Unbelievable sadness… It’s just sadness. I left my marriage. I had to leave my marriage. I wanted to leave my marriage. I felt I needed to eventually leave the foundation. So it’s just sad. That’s the truth,” she told the host.
The interviewer highlighted the emails’ suggestions of additional affairs and Gates’ alleged attempt to treat an STI covertly, noting his rep’s denial as “false.” Melinda’s response focused solely on her grief, underscoring the pain that drove her exit.
She also remarked “I’m able to take my own sadness and say ‘My God, how did that happen to those girls?’”

In separate remarks, she emphasized that Bill Gates “needs to answer” for his Epstein connections, adding, “They need to answer to those things, not me.”
These fresh details dredge up “very painful times” from the marriage, leaving her “so happy to be away from all the muck that was there,” as she reflected on the fallout.
This isn’t the first time Gates’ Epstein entanglements have raised eyebrows.
Gates has repeatedly acted evasive when confronted, as seen in 2023 when he smirked and downplayed dinners with the pedophile.

Gates’ awkward defenses stretch back even further, like in 2021 when he squirmed under questioning, or his admission in 2019 that meeting Epstein post-conviction was a “mistake.”
The New Yorker also revealed in 2019 that Epstein worked with Gates to funnel $2 million dollars to MIT for unspecified projects, donations that the research lab tried to cover up.
These persistent links to Epstein – a symbol of elite corruption and exploitation – continue to erode trust in globalist figures like Gates, whose “philanthropy” often masks agendas that infringe on personal freedoms and sovereignty.
Melinda’s non-denial and heartfelt exit paint a damning picture, reminding us that behind the billions, accountability for such associations remains overdue in a system rigged for the powerful.
