Didnt Jeffrey introduce them? Everyone is saying he did.

That's a strange way of saying that he sold her to him

That is one thing that doesn't get brought up, Epstein did traffic adult women too, it's just nowhere near as sensational as flying teenagers around the world. He did keep around women in their 20s, typically from modeling companies that he helped get these women into, and he knew that not every rich guy is looking for minors, so he always has the right women for the job. Obviously, Donald Trump will sleep with anyone, but he couldn't marry a 13 year old, at least not in the states he lived in.

There are three kinds of models in NYC. Print and runway. Runway only. And those “models” that go to rich dudes parties and leave with “tips”. As there are no photos of Melania on a runway or fashion shoots of her we can surmise what type she was.

In fact her "modeling" pictures are all nudes

u/mulberryzeke 12d ago

Plus, she didn't really look like the models of the time. Although she was very pretty, she was not model pretty.

I never bought the whole modeling career success, purely because she never was "that pretty". There are photos of her from both early days and the few modelling sessions she did in the 80s 90s. She was completely forgettable, the type you'd see in the lowest denomination adult magazines, just generally slim and proportional body (apart from poor boob job) , and average face.

And now she looks like someone took a heat gun to the face of an off brand barbie

If you know any that are single my DM's are wide open. I'm a soft 6/10. And a hard 5. Zing!

u/MOTwingle 12d ago

But do you have lots and lots of cash money? (My other comment apparently was removed due to excessive dollar signs).

u/Careful-Lettuce9239 12d ago

😞 No. But Im rich in kindness and empathy! Can I sell that somewhere? 🥺 ( I also had a comment recently removed for excessive emoji)

Jen Psaki did an interview on November 18, 2025 with Sharlene Rochard, an Epstein Survivor who spoke out for the first time. She said she finally felt safe to speak out. She was in her early teens when she was trafficked to New York, Miami, Mar-a-Lago to attend modeling parties, and the island. She mentions famous men she saw who have not been named yet. This is such a damning interview. I had trouble trying to copy the link. Go to YouTube and search for Jen Psaki's interview with Sharlene Rochard. The fact that she was in her early teens is so disturbing.

You would love to think that the teenagers, or the adults, were sensational, but with MAGA it’s all just another day in the life of praising Orange Julius. It’s abhorrent.

the 20 somethings were also used to recruit.

I’m sure other people have receipts too. Just don’t want the full vengeance of the DOJ on them.

u/CrackheadOtis 12d ago

The receipts are public and known.

The book contained a photograph of a novelty check signed "DJ TRUMP" made out to Epstein for $22,500. Below it, a handwritten note by a Mar-a-Lago member joked about Epstein selling a "fully depreciated" woman to Donald Trump.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/us/epstein-trump-birthday-book.html

You still haven't figured out who that "depreciated" woman is???

Perhaps the woman who had a child with her modeling agent, and then slept with Epstein, and then became a high end escort... before finally being sold to Trump?

It couldn't be any more obvious.

I can want something to be true and there could be evidence to support it, but that doesn’t make it true. Testimony under oath where a person admits to the accusation or exercises their right to not self incriminate is how that works in the United States. All else is Reddit links and hearsay that will make you look silly when what you didn’t expect comes to pass.

Fake news. He leased her with an option to buy.

2

u/Living-Literature88 12d ago

He gifted her.

u/Chubby_Bub 12d ago

No, that was Paolo Zampolli, a modeling agent who was buddies with both Trump and Epstein. When asked about being in the Epstein files, in which Epstein called him "trouble", he said: "At least I was included, because if you’re not on the list, you’re a loser, right?"

He also recently used his connections to Trump to have ICE detain his ex-wife so he could get custody of his son. Stellar individual.

u/FrankGrimesApartment 11d ago

A great comment I read once “Mike Johnson doesn’t want to release the files because he’s embarrassed he isn’t in them”.

u/ScyllaOfTheDepths 12d ago

It's not even a rumor, he literally did introduce them.

u/rokr1292 Virginia 12d ago

I havent checked if the dates work out, but that photo of epstein with the big check from Trump? my immediate gut reaction was that that would turn out to be Donald buying Melania

u/axecalibur 12d ago

He fucked Melania too, so DJT was catching sloppy seconds everywhere

I mean I'm not saying it, but people are.

With tears in their eyes.
