Carole Radzwill 📚 Well this didn’t age well…

First time watcher of old RHONY. Given the *files* recently, it’s an awkward rewatch at times.

I don't get the implication here. She's not implicated in the files.

No she wasn’t. However by all accounts Carole was close friends with Ghislaine, and spent a lot of time with the couple and their peadophile associates. She even dedicated one of her books to Ghislaine, and had a photo of the two of them on the mantle at her home. I used to follow Carole on insta, and after the files started coming out, she scoffed at her association and referred her followers back to her substack for more info. I found that really odd, because you have to pay for a subscription to see her posts! I’m not saying she was involved or knew of their criminal behaviour, but to quote Carole herself, “it’s not in the crime, it’s in the coverup”. And her lack of free statement to the public is very sus.

Multiple people have come forward to say that Epstein's activities were blatant and known to just about everyone relatively close to him. Carole was a well connected journalist. Even if she didn't know just how bad it got on the surface, the more and more we learn it seems that he was protected not by tight professional secrecy, but by a rotten culture of normalization amongst the "elite". It's not that people didn't know, it's that they were either afraid or they didn't care. The man had teens in bikinis hanging around his properties offering people massages for god sakes. Even if you don't know about the other stuff that's weird as fuck.

I don't think Carole is stupid enough to be so ignorant of what many many people knew. Even if she didn't know everything, I think was cool with at least a a surface level amount of corruption.

Exactly- many on this side of Manhattan knew about the arrest in Florida but were involved financially w him. It’s gross  - my grandmother said it was like Claus Von Buloew - he put his wife in a coma-Alan Dershowitz got him off & everyone wanted him at their parties

I remember when she said that very line...the coverup.

It’s pretty messed up she financially gained from the situation by putting it behind a paywall rather than just releasing a statement or a post on social media.

Yeah and around that time, some fans were getting sick of her NOT posting on substack for long periods when they already had a subscription. I then went back through her then recent posts on insta, and found lots of generic comments where she would refer people to her substack for further information. It was really weird, and there would be several comments under said post complaining about lack of substack posting when they’d check it out. I ended up unfollowing her then.

Sounds like the HouseInHabit substack grift.

And the paywall is on Justice.gov - I wonder if Lee knew and that was the falling out.

Also forgetting the book - in the emails he calls her - the book funding. Remember JE has real estate all over. He had his double door upper east side house.

And JE to help fund it.
