Jeffrey Epstein's mansion was like "Eyes Wide Shut with a twist" during a dinner with Prince Andrew, according to Katie Couric's memoir.
The Duke of York told the BBC he stayed with the New York financier, who was at the time a convicted pedophile, in order to break off the friendship honorably in 2010.
Queen Elizabeth II's son was dismissive of suggestions a party was thrown in his honor and said: "I went there with the sole purpose of saying to him that because he had been convicted, it was inappropriate for us to be seen together."
However, Katie Couric describes being at a dinner party Epstein threw where Andrew was a guest, saying the townhouse was like "Eyes Wide Shut with a twist—creepy chandeliers and body-part art."
The former Today host said lasagna was served in bowls and Epstein "held court" by the fireplace, but her then-boyfriend Brooks Perlin commented on the women who took their coats, noting how young they were.
In extracts of biography Going There published by The Daily Mail, she writes: "I couldn't imagine what Epstein and Andrew were up to, apart from trying to cultivate friends in the media. Which, in retrospect, they must have figured they'd need when the pedophilia charges started rolling in."

Katie Couric was kind of a degenerate herself
We must suspend disbelief at the notion that Katie did not know Epstein had plead guilty to child sex exploitation and did jail time. Like she didn’t know about Matt Lauer?
Riiight.
I’ve always believed that the movie “Eyes Wide Shut” was anything but a fiction.
“Katie Couric describes being at a dinner party”
Yep. Doofus Katie admits that she hobnobbed with a convicted pedophile. What was she doing there?
Katie Colon. What happened to her?
They hobnob with creeps all the time and say nothing.....until the creep is prosecuted i.e. Harvey Weinstein.
I’ve wondered where the script writers for Tom Cruz movies like eyes wide shut and American Made got their material. Seems they have hit close to home.
I have to wonder if there is a real hitman out there as he played in collateral!
Little Miss “some people say”
What people, Katie? Name them
Prince Andrew went to see Epstein to tell him he could see him anymore.
Right....
I believe Woody Allen was at the party too.
what a giant time-waster this is especially for DOJ etc if they have to redact thousands of pages. DOJ needs to attend to big issues. tick tock.
With his adopted daughter?
And still is.
Be still my heart!
I serve lasagna in shallow coupe soup bowls. Stuff’s messy. I suppose Couric chows down before she goes to dinner so she can daintily pick and pretend-eat. Not to mention show up at all if she dislikes the hosts.
IMHO, Collateral was Tom Cruise best movie. He really should have won an award for it.
Yes, I believe Kubrick was indeed trying to show the truth in Eyes Wide Shut.
American Made, based on Barry Seal was a “true” story.
I can tell you a story a former Mexican National Presidential guard told me at my house fifteen years ago about when GHW Bush became POTUS. He swears he and other Presidential guards delivered a “present” to the US border from El Presidente of Ol Mexico. A tractor trailer full of cocaine.
Remember how GHW Bush and Ol Billy Clinton became such buddies after they both retired from POTUS?
If we knew 2% of the corrupt unethical stuff that goes on IN our government, we'd be flat out flabbergasted.
The movie was based on a German novel written in 1926 and set in pre-World War One Vienna. Your point of course is that organized decadence and corruption among the elite is all too common today.
