In the world of the ultra-wealthy and influential, the late Ghislaine Maxwell, a well-known associate of the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein, was a formidable figure.
According to a recent book by Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most prominent alleged victims, Maxwell once boasted about performing a sexual act on George Clooney, a renowned actor and influential figure in Democratic circles. This claim, though not new, underscores the intricate and often scandalous relationships among the world's elite.
As reported by the Western Journal, the allegation was included in Giuffre's posthumous memoir, "Nobody's Girl." The book, released last week, has already had significant repercussions, prompting Prince Andrew to relinquish his title as Duke of York. Despite the gravity of the claim, Clooney, who has never been publicly linked to Epstein, has not responded to requests for comment.
The memoir also includes an excerpt from another of Giuffre's works, "The Billionaire's Playboy Club," which was never published. In it, Giuffre describes Maxwell's excitement after the alleged encounter with Clooney. "One [time] she came back giddy as a schoolgirl with an explosion of news, with all the build up and excitement in her voice youd think she was the next crown princess," Giuffre wrote. "But she had given George Clooney [oral sex] in the bathroom at some random event. She never let that one down."
Giuffre, who tragically took her own life at 41, reiterated the accusation in her latest memoir, though she admitted she had no concrete evidence to support her claim. "Whether [the Clooney story] was true or not, well never know," she wrote, adding that Maxwell often boasted about her sexual exploits.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, and whether her claim about Clooney is true or not, it will not alter her circumstances. It's worth noting that Clooney is not accused of any wrongdoing, as receiving sexual favors from an individual unaware of their involvement in procuring underage girls for a wealthy financier is not a crime.
However, the fact that such a claim can be considered plausible illustrates the insularity of the American and global elite. The Epstein-Maxwell duo had connections to a wide array of influential figures, from Bill Gates to the late Steve Jobs' wife. Their reach extended to individuals across various fields, including Stephen Hawking, Woody Allen, Michael Jackson, and Noam Chomsky.
This elite class, who make decisions that impact the world yet remain insulated from the consequences, can afford private security, high gas prices, and hefty electrical bills. They send their children to private schools with exorbitant tuition fees. And if Epstein and Maxwell did not know all of them, it was not for lack of trying.
Clooney, for instance, is not just a celebrated actor. He is also a significant player in the liberal political world, as evidenced by his influential op-ed in The New York Times, which paved the way for Democrats to suggest Joe Biden drop out of the 2024 election following a disastrous debate performance.
Maxwell's claim about her encounter with Clooney, whether true or not, speaks volumes about the world of the elite. It reveals a network of influential figures who are intimately connected yet remain remarkably detached from the realities of the world they seek to shape.
