A significant revelation from the recent Epstein document release suggests that Jeffrey Epstein accused Bill Gates of devising a secret plan to conceal an affair he had with a “Russian woman.” Allegedly, in 2013, Epstein wrote an unsent email draft indicating that Gates sought his then-wife Melinda’s help to acquire antibiotics meant for a sexually transmitted condition he might have shared with her.
In response to these claims, Gates has repeatedly denied their validity through his publicist and in interviews, labeling them as false and the result of a grudge stemming from their deteriorating relationship.
The scrutiny around this matter is growing, including from more mainstream media outlets.
During an interview with 9 News Australia, political editor Charles Croucher posed direct questions to Gates. Host Sarah Gonzalez has called upon behavioral expert Scott Rouse to scrutinize Gates’ body language during the exchange.
“You’ve probably come across the allegations in the last couple of days. Are they true?” Croucher asked.
“Apparently, Jeffrey wrote that email to himself. It was never sent, and essentially, it’s fake! I don’t know what he was thinking,” Gates responded. He expressed regret over his association with Epstein, saying, “Every time I think about it, I feel bad. I apologize for what I did.”
Croucher followed up, “Some of the things he sent you were accurate, so why do you think he made those claims?”
Gates reiterated, “I mean, I attended one dinner. I’ve never been to the island or met that woman. The context is all wrong, and it had nothing to do with inappropriate behavior,” he explained.
According to Sarah, Gates appeared uncomfortable while answering questions about the alleged scandal, and she enlisted Rouse to provide his insights on the footage.
Rouse suggested that Gates’ responses seemed rehearsed, even implying that he may have orchestrated the interview himself. “The way he constructs his sentences seems different from when he’s just speaking,” he noted.
The expert observed that Gates’ longer and smoother sentences contrasted with the more casual way he typically speaks.
When pressed directly, Gates indicated he was “not shocked” but rather “prepared,” with his gaze fixed on Croucher, which Rouse interpreted as stress management behavior.
“His focus suggests he anticipated these questions coming. With the recent interview with his ex-wife garnering attention, it seems he was ready for this,” Rouse remarked.
Rouse concluded that someone of Gates’ stature, experienced in public speaking, would surely prepare for such a situation.
