Epstein was ‘Pinocchio’ with ‘Gepetto’ Ghislaine pulling the strings, accuser says
nyPOST ^ | 7/16/2020 | LAURA ITALIANO

Ghislaine Maxwell was far worse than Jeffrey Epstein when it came to abusing young women and girls, according to their most outspoken accuser — in fact, she was “Gepetto” to his “Pinocchio.”

“She was pulling the strings,” Virginia Roberts Giuffre told “CBS This Morning” of Maxwell on Thursday, calling Maxwell the mastermind, and a “monster.”

“Ghislaine was much more conniving and smart than Epstein ever was,” Giuffre said.

“I know that woman. I’ve known her really well. Put it this way — Epstein was Pinocchio, and she was Gepetto.”

Giuffre had still more choice words for Maxwell.

“She is a monster. She’s worse than Epstein. She did things even worse than Epstein did. She was vicious. She was evil. And she’s a woman.”

Giuffre called Maxwell’s arrest two weeks ago, on charges that she recruited girls for Epstein, a moment that was “momentous” and “just surreal.”

“It’s one of those life moments that I’ll never forget.”

Also Thursday, it was revealed that Maxwell had secretly taken a husband in order to safeguard her fortune as prosecutors and lawsuit plaintiffs circled closer.

Maxwell’s claimed romantic connection to Epstein himself was also a sham, Christina Oxenberg, a cousin to the British royal family and a one-time pal of Maxwell, has said recently.

Everyone wants to see what her life insurance is - we want to know which of our government officials, business leaders and newsies are sick perverts, who are automatically lying when they say that they are there to protect us, or that they care for people. They care for NOTHING except their own personal gratification.

Epstein was self-motivated and commissioned a great deal of mischief all on his own initiative, while Ghislaine dearest served most ably as an adjunct to open other doors and lure the unsuspecting innocents into the net.

Worse? Hard to say, as depravity is not pretty, no matter how it may be dressed up.

I understand her point, but if I may nitpick, her use of the analogy of Pinocchio is completely wrong.

The author of Pinocchio was a Christian, and Italian nationalist, who wrote Pinocchio using underlying, traditional themes of God’s creation, discovery of morality and spiritual journey and growth of the puppet into a real human.

The appropriate characters from Pinocchio to use for Esptein and Maxwell are the Fox and the Cat.

I think she may be more upset at Ghislaine because we expect women to be more protective when facing a lecherous male.

Epstein is gone. Ghislaine may take the fall.

Just think back to the look on BillyBob’s face when he saw Juanita Broderick in the audience at one of the 2016 debates.That will give you a clue.

I’d expect her lawyer to blame Epstein...painting his client as one of his many victims.

I totally agree. I think these “girls” realize that she is the only one to go after now that Jeffrey took his life.

“...her use of the analogy of Pinocchio is completely wrong.”

The word “Pinocchio” is often used by pedophiles. “Hey little girl, do you want to see Pinocchio’s nose grow?”
No doubt Giuffre heard that word often.

How could you possibly know that? And not knowing it, why would you say it?

You couldn't be more wrong.

You should look into who her father was.

His name was Robert Maxwell.

When? Probably sooner rather than later.A week or so ago one of the British papers (can't recall which one) ran a story saying that she's saying that she has all sorts of juicy info on many very powerful people and is prepared to tell all.

But then so did Jim and Susan MacDougal. Susan got the message after Jim experienced a tragic accident in prison.

I notice there is now a Netflix mini-series on Epstein and Maxwell. Is that worth watching or is it just a waste of time? I previewed it and it looked like one of those lame TV documentaries that show a bunch of old photos with dramatic music and never really tell you anything of substance.
