AIBU to think that Ghislane Maxwell isn’t actually in prison?

The latest footage of her refusing to answer questions isn’t actually her.

The person’s nose is not the same, the eyes aren’t hooded, the ears aren’t in the same position and the hair is just wrong.

It’s so obvious that this isn’t her!!

She's in an open prison so probably is quite comfortable. Funny how it is a women being punished for a male paedophile ring.

She went out and procured a young Down syndrome girl for the men who wanted ‘something a bit different’.
She also raped many of the girls too. She should die in prison.

I agree. I really don’t believe that was her. I’m not given to conspiracy theories but that was not her.

She was an active abuser as well as a pimp. Don’t you read?

Where are all the male active abusers and pimps?

You said a woman is being punished for men’s crimes. NO , she got caught and is being punished for HER crimes and the evil men that were involved should also be jailed. If she gave up their names , many would be. But she won’t. They’re all scum.

She could have got a shorter sentence in a plea deal if she’d given their names. She chose not to.

Cheese55 · 09/05/2026 13:58

Well she wouldn't have procured girls without the appetite being there. She didn't bring them back and make the men abuse them. They asked for the girls . I'm not saying she is blameless but the only one in prison for this is a woman

But she actually took part in the abuse physically herself! So isn't she just as guilty as the men?

Did she? With underage girls? Where did you read that?

I think I read it in Virginia Giuffre's book.

It all happens many, many years before, she would hardly have had many names to hand. When it was over between her and Epstein she moved and no doubt wanted to put it behind her. I am more interested in how that relationship ended and what effect it had on her but don't know if we will ever find out.

Going through the 'Epstein files' was about identifying his contacts but a lot of that doesn't say what people actually did, only that they knew and spent some time with Epstein - which we know about anyway and there were loads of them in his acquaintance.

I read that - twice - and don't remember that bit but I don't take everythng in. Maybe I will re-read, I must say it doesn't appeal but I could read bits at a time.

It was about 15-20 years and she was not diagnosed as having any kind of dementia or impairment to her memory. Maxwell and Epstein remained in each other’s lives for many years after their relationship ended. Virginia Giuffre is not the only woman to have alleged Maxwell took part in the abuse.

She’s with the original Paul McCartney.

Well that's just being ridiculous, it's obvious to everyone she's with the real Britney!
Joking aside I've not seen the footage but I hope it is her, she deserves to rot.

Trump administration has already admitted plans to pardon her so nothing would surprise me.

Blahblahblahabla · 09/05/2026 20:17

Well I wasn’t expecting to agree with you but the hooded eyes and nose I can’t disagree about.

She can’t age badly and simultaneously find a cure for eye hoodedness.

I googled that because I hadn't heard it, and got this:

"As of May 2026, the Trump administration has not agreed to or granted a pardon to Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking.
While President Trump has stated he has the authority to pardon her and has not explicitly ruled it out, he has maintained that he has not thought about it, that "nobody's asked" him, and that it would be inappropriate to talk about."

I expect he put that statement out because he was asked, otherwise he'd have said nothing and there would be no rumour.

Your post is yet another example of something that shouldn't be shoe-horned into AIBU.

But it's also an example of a poor post, since you don't provide any evidence, like a link to the footage.

As far as I know, she's in a very comfortable prison for the moment, although there are rumors of letting her out. Keep in mind that she is now years older than when most of the public photos were taken, and it's reasonable to assume she looks different.
