A planned collaboration between late night host Jimmy Fallon and powerful entertainment executive Tommy Mottola to launch a branded line of pasta sauces is now kaput as the entertainment mogul’s name is being discovered all over the Epstein Files, exposing his close relationship with the late financier and convicted sex offender and trafficker.
Fallon and Mottola have been close friends for years, often spotted palling around New York together and frequently enjoying Italian American dishes at East Harlem mainstay Rao’s.

Love it.
Sounds like we have the top Epstein buddy there. I read about how Epstein and Maxwell made themselves look like they knew everybody. They would have a photographer lined up at parties, but they didn’t go near the person. One or both of them would sidle up next to a group of famous people talking. They would strike a pose, smiling or laughing, looking into the group as if they were part of it. The pic would be snapped and they would fade out of the frame. Then they would put those photos up on social media so “in-crowd” people would think, “Oh, they know so-and-so.”
“The massive number of people associated with Epstein is why Trump made sure everyone wanted the files released. That way the TDS idiots couldn’t say that the files were released for political purposes. I would bet there are more people we would be quite surprised by who had some involvement with Epstein.”
Smart take right here.
According to PEOPLE, Mottola expressed remorse in his memoir, writing he is “truly sorry for any discomfort or pain that all of my good intentions inevitably caused her, and most of all for the scars it left on my two oldest children [Sabrina Sakaë Mottola Sodi and Matthew Alejandro Mottola Sodi],” who he had after his split with the singer. Here's Carey and Mottola on their wedding day:
> every moronic liberal
really, you can just say every liberal... 😆
My wife (who is Sicilian) has made her “industrial strength” suco with Italian sausage, beef meatballs, and bone-in pork ribs. BIG pot, otherwise there’s no room for the sauce, lol. She used to make it that way for her Dad. I am going to pester her to make it that way again. Oh, yeah, that little bit of red wine in the sauce DOES make a difference! Too bad I can’t drink anymore…🙁
The infamous “Epstein files” reveal his previously undisclosed links to Israel, including correspondence referencing Israeli high mucky mucks such as
<><>former Mossad intelligence officers
<><>and senior Israeli political figures.
The documents detail Epstein’s role in financial and security-related dealings, adding new layers to his global network, raising questions about what future releases may uncover.

Jeffrey Epstein’s remains laid to rest in Palm Beach County. What are the family ties?
Serial sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein was laid to rest in Palm Beach County, one site of his many crimes of sexual abuse against minors and the only place he ever served time in jail for the crimes. You are unlikely to be able to find the crypt where his ashes are in one of the county’s Jewish cemeteries. It is next to those of his parents, longtime residents of the county. But the two slabs identifying the resting places are blank.
Epstein was arrested in Palm Beach County in 2006 on a felony charge of soliciting a prostitute despite Palm Beach police finding dozens of victims. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to that charge and another prostitution-related felony. He was sentenced to 18 months in the Palm Beach County Jail, where he was housed in a private wing. During what ended up being a 13-month sentence, Epstein was granted work release six days a week, 12 hours a day.
POST EXCLUSIVE: Never-before-seen Jeffrey Epstein biography surfaces
Who brought Jeffrey Epstein’s remains to Palm Beach County?
Eleven years after the “deal of the century” for what many consider the lightest of charges and prison terms, Epstein was arrested in 2019 by New York federal law enforcement on charges of sex trafficking minors in Florida and New York. Within a month, the 66-year-old was found hanged in his jail cell. After the medical examiner ruled his death a suicide, Epstein’s younger brother, Mark, picked up Jeffrey’s remains and had them moved here to be placed in a crypt beside his parents. Their parents lived in the condo, which he still owns, until their deaths.
Seymour died in a Cleveland car crash in 1991 at age 75. He had worked as a groundskeeper and gardener for the New York City parks department. Paula (Stolofsky) was a housewife. She died in West Palm Beach in 2004 at age 85. Link——Read The Post’s 2019 investigation: Jeffrey Epstein case, the first failure: To the first prosecutors, Epstein’s victims were prostitutes
Mark in 2019 offered up the $105,000 condo to help guarantee Jeffrey’s bail on the sex trafficking charges. Jeffrey was not released. Jeffrey bought his Palm Beach mansion on El Brillo Way in 1990. Mark is an artist and real estate magnate. The brothers Epstein grew up in Sea Gate, one of the few gated communities on Coney Island.
I’ve done it, it does take awhile. Now my mouth is watering. It would’ve been a great Valentine’s Day meal, but I’m grilling us a couple ribeyes tonight. Gotta take advantage of this warmer weather.
Fallon might need to go back and get his shine box.
Epstein was never tried or convicted for trafficking. He was first indicted for trafficking in 2019, and he committed suicide after his arrest.
As far as I know, every criminal charge ever filed against Epstein involved under age sex before 2005.
In 2008, the under age sex charge Epstein pleaded guilty to took place in the 1990s.
It is truly amazing to watch this Epstein mess unfold.
First- the democrats efforts to turn this into a Trump only scandal are straight out of 1984. They had all the power to release these files and didn’t. Of course, the Dems are being aided in their efforts by usual NeverTrump Deep State GOP. In this case the level of flushing the past down the memory hole is truly alarming.
Really, if you think about it, this is the latest iteration of the Russian Collusion scam.
Second- the Files name the ruling class and are not kind to the democrats. It seems they more or less exonerate Trump and back his assertions. At the very least it seems he alerted law enforcement about Epstein.
Third- despite naming prominent Dems and their donors and not Trump, the Dems and media won’t give up the narrative. Which proves again, that everything they do is narrative driven. There is no fact or evidence that will ever get them off of it.
“Entertainment mogul?”
Who?
>>Jeffrey Epstein case, the first failure: To the first prosecutors, Epstein’s victims were prostitutes.<<
Weren’t they? Oh I forgot, to the sick feminists and their corporate media shills, prostitutes are “victims”. But to most men, a prostitute is a prostitute. Women have been selling their bodies for money since biblical times, if not before.
Mariah Carey’s ex-husband.
That’s wild; How did you find that?
The problem for the Palm Beach Police was that ALL the under age women involved lied about their age, and they ALL accepted the market rate prostitution payment in cash.
In other words, ALL of the Palm Beach witnesses for prostitution were...prostitutes!
A fellow Freeper posted it. I wish I could remember who so as to ping him.
If you have forever, you could use it up there ....
I believe Trump said that to get the ire up of the people who refuse to work for the betterment of the country and do and say EVERYTHING to counter any of his initiatives.
No matter what he says or does there is someone who finds some minor issue and conflates it. He got them so vociferously demanding the release of the files that he did. Now, the ones who partook of Epstein’s “largesse” are running scared, and resigning all over the place. I would guess that the ones who got “outed” are pretty angry at the ones who demanded release of the files.
If Trump found a cure for cancer, his detractors would claim that he was trying to cripple health care by taking jobs away from nurses, doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, pharmacists, etc. Count on it. Old strategy: death from a thousand cuts. Keep hammering, repeat lies, innuendo, etc..eventually the general population starts believing it.
By the way, where is the “cogent and FU if you don’t believe it” and “running circles around the staff” Joe Biden lately? Was his diagnosis of late stage prostate cancer a ruse to blame any evidence of severe cognitive decline on the cancer? He did ok, didn’t he? He beat Medicare.
