Ghislaine Maxwell

A more obvious point is that she's in prison.

Her media access will be limited.

And it seems unlikely the establishment would protect him. He's pissed too many people off.

The million dollar property she bought is called Tuckedaway.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if this were some kind of messaging to Ghislaine from ‘The Firm’ and associates.

I’m glad she’s been arrested, but I can’t see it going to trial. It’ll be a plea deal.

Ghislaine went to Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

She has been photographed with Trump and recruited Virginia Roberts at Mar a Lago.

There were cameras everywhere in Epstein's houses. If any rich and influential man has been recorded it would ruin them.

It's tailored to the audience

Maybe that "audience" is Ghislaine.

I do think that women tend to play that role in sex trafficking, winning the trust of the victims. Rose West did the same.
Not entirely related but I watched a documentary about Fred and Rose West, which said he had been sexually abused by his mother....(Rose West had had an abusive childhood as well) so that's why they were attracted to each other.....

The anorexia as toddler thing suggests some significant trauma IMO.

I have a friend whose mum walked out suddenly in the middle of the night when she was 4. She stopped eating entirely, was admitted to hospital for tube feeding for a while.

it may not be going the way they hoped

I’d imagine a very expensive specialist PR team is at work here

I just thought about the interesting coincidence of a thread wondering about Ghislaine Maxwell's motivations being posted here right around the time of that Guardian article, so I searched OP's username. Been very active on this forum today and maybe yesterday. Nothing earlier.

She must still have some very powerful supporters. Look at who she knew. Who went to her and Epstine’s parties. Someone very powerful doesn’t want this to come out and will spend money on it.

I’d imagine a very expensive specialist PR team is at work here.

It's tailored to the audience too isn't it? Play up an abused manipulated woman angle on Maxwell for the Guardian readers, and inform the Telegraph that the upper-crust white man isn't as bad as everyone's making out.

Sounds like Laura might be running damage control for PA using a 'friendship' with Maxwell as a proxy. Better to be thought of as posh and dumb than a perv type of thing.

Absolutely! This is straight out of the Malcolm Tucker spin bible.

A reputation for stupidity is better than a reputation as child-rapist.

Of course, PA is so egotistical and so entitled he even undermines his own positive PR.

Anorexia just means a person won't eat, AFAIK? I think it can manifest for a lot of different reasons in different age groups.

I knew an intelligent, articulate attractive lady who got married.
Her husband was so toxic that all three of their children were taken into care and then adopted.
She divorced that man and married one who her beat up such that she had an emergency hysterectomy at 33.
She divorced him and went back to the first one.
I last saw her ten years after that, covered in bruises telling me how happy they were.
It turned out her father was an abuser too.

Ghislane is rich but she is very very damaged

I think the likelihood is her own childhood is the reason but many children have abusive, dysfunctional formative years and are able to grow into normal adults.

I think the thing about her childhood that is relevant is that she learned from an early age to appease a powerful and abusive man. She has both an enormous sense of entitlement and very low self esteem. She was afraid that Epstein would abandon her. He dumped her and she still spent her life pandering to his every need.

I have also read this article about her in Tatler (it is long). She really knew absolutely everyone.

Even in the most very famous cases of female criminals (Myra Hindley, Rose West) there is a man very closely involved.

I was just thinking about this today. Myra Hindley was the one who would entice the children, being a woman she was less suspicious and children being naturally trusting of a "kind woman"....

Same kind of MO of Ghislaine Maxwell..... befriend vulnerable girls in order to deliver them and to satisfy Jeffrey Epstein.

UGH

I think the main thing to hold onto is that whatever GM’s motivation (which we’ll more than likely never know) she enjoyed what she did.

Just as PA "saw everyone as a servant", so did GM. They were silly, expendable servant girls who would do what their told.

She may even have believed she was giving them an opportunity, after all how many trailer park girls get to meet a real prince?

This speculation is very interesting but do you think we will ever actually know? Won’t she plead guilty to a lesser charge and be held somewhere remote (a la Martha Stewart who was supposedly deliberately sent somewhere the press couldn’t reach) and then disappear on release (probably with a fat cheque from the rich men she didn’t grass on)?
