Bill Gates’ ex-wife Melinda is breaking her silence on her divorce from the Microsoft founder, revealing that child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein played a key role in their separation.
Melinda Gates has admitted Bill’s relationship with Epstein was one of the reasons they divorced, describing the disgraced pedophile as “evil personified.”
Now going by the name Melinda French Gates, she opened up to CBS Mornings’ Gayle King, revealing that Bill’s “relationship” with Epstein gave her “nightmares.”
“It was many things,” she said of the divorce with Bill.
“But I did not like that he’d had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein.
“I made that clear to him.”
She said she met with Epstein “exactly one time because I wanted to see who this man was.
“And I regretted it from the second I stepped in the door.
“He was abhorrent. He was evil personified.
“I had nightmares about it afterward.
“So my heart breaks for these young women.
“On the day I got married, I never thought I would end up being divorced.
“I thought we had worked through some of that.
“There just came a point in time where there was enough there that I realized it just wasn’t healthy.
“And I couldn’t trust what we had.
“I had a lot of tears for many days.
“I mean days where I’m literally laying on the floor of the carpet.
“I certainly was angry. I mean this is painful stuff.
“And at the end of the day, though, I started on this journey of healing, and I feel like I’m starting to get to the other side.”
“I hope that happens for me again,” she said of finding love again.
“You know, I’m dipping my toe in that water.”
From The Daily Mail:
Melinda also revealed that she and Bill are not friends but are ‘friendly’ and work together, and she suggested he had more than one affair throughout their 27-year-marriage.
‘Those are questions Bill needs to answer,’ she said when asked about reports he cheated multiple times. He previously acknowledged one affair.
‘I believe in forgiveness. I thought we had worked through some of that,’ Melinda said of his 2000 affair with a Microsoft employee. I gave every single piece of myself to this marriage. I was committed from the day we got engaged to the day I got out of it.’
Bill has said in the past that meeting with Epstein multiple times was a ‘huge’ mistake and error in judgement.
In a statement to CBS, he said: ‘Meeting with Epstein was a mistake that I regret deeply. It was a substantial error in judgement.’

Did Billie say “The devil made me do it?”
Culling the world’s populations, via purposely released deadly viruses, and forced injections of DNA-destroying genetic modifyers? ... Perfectly acceptable with Melinda Gates. Bill having sex with underage girls? Well, not so much.
The thought of Bill Gates in an affair with anyone makes me go “eewwwwww”
Melinda, may I humbly offer a suggestion?
How about using some of that vast fortune of yours to find out who now has all those videotapes Epstein made of VIPs having sex with underage girls?
I could almost bet her husband enlisted her into swinging and she just got too old to want to be used for sex by hubby. Money makes for strange bedfellows.
What does that make Bill?
Yeah. If he didn’t have all that money he couldn’t get a date if he walked into a woman’s prison with a fist full of pardons.
Poor, poor, poor, Melinda. :^(
“Meetings” Yeah, sure.
Yup. The John is as culpable as the pimp.
I am not surprised that Bill Gates has a friendship with Epstein. And given that Melinda seems to be a decent person, I’m not surprised that she was repelled by that.
But I am surprised that CBS would air a segment discussing all this.
She knows about the tapes.
A complete and utterly inexcusable whitewash.
Melinda admits she "met" Epstein once. Meeting Epstein, or meeting with Epstein is not the issue. Using Epstein to procure underage sex slaves on your behalf is the issue. So, until Mr. Gates confesses and apologizes for that, all else is just PR for his own reputational purposes as a person who fancies himself as a great humanitarian.
She knew he was a creep when she married him. Agreed to letting him spend time with his old girlfriend on a regular basis even after they were married. I guess mega money soothes a lot of misgivings. So now she blames the dead perv, not the live one. Meh.
She doesn’t care. It’s all about jockeying for a bigger slice of that pie she sold him 27 years ago now worth a trillion?
I think you may be underestimating the massive public damage and intense personal anquish this interview is going to cause Mr. Gates.
Maybe the same people who took the Cuomos down now want to take Gates down. Are they planning to make him the Covid fall-guy now that they want to move on to the next crises?
Melinda quickly got over it by buying her own planet for weekend getaways!
Buying a 13-year old from Epstein is not “having an affair”. That is rape. At least it is unless you agree with the LGBT community who are trying real hard to normalize child rape.
After all; “any love is love”.
