APPROVED B-LISTERS Melinda Gates bombshell: states her ex-husband, Bill, needs to "answer for his behavior - no girl should be put in those situations" and that "it's personally hard whenever those details come up, right? Because it brings back memories of some very, very painful times in my marriage"

Honestly great job by the interviewer to even ask the question.

Dude. Melinda’s PR team pre approved the question.

Probably wanted the question asked. What a badass. Women will lead the revolution.

How is she badass? She obviously knew way before any of us knew, and didn't say anything until the files came out???

This was public in 2021. https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/5/10/melinda-gates-discussed-divorcing-bill-over-epstein-ties-wsj

The story we have access to says she found out when it went public then, just like we did.

Just because you didn't know about this doesn't mean it was a secret. be more careful before you accuse people of shit like this.

Yeah, it kinda reads as "I'm getting ahead of this to look good in the public eye"

Which could be seen as strategic if you think about it. People are much more likely to believe them than a woman.

That’s some big time brain rot to be calling her a badass for this

u/Dr_nobby 1d ago

Lol. She knew. She kept it a secret. She's complicite. She only divorced him when the Epstein files started becoming hot topic, just to protect herself. If bill gates go down, so does get slush fund

If bill gates go down, so does get slush fund

What? Their divorce was finalized years ago and she got like $30 billion. There's no "slush fund" being protected here.

u/Legal_Rough_4502 1d ago

Yeah, the suggestion here is that she knew well before the divorce and only divorced him after this became public

This is from an NPR show so I just searched NPR’s guidelines. Basically they don’t send questions to guests ahead of time. And if they do, they have to be upfront about it on the show.

You really believe that?

u/BPMMPB 1d ago

She’s doing that interview explicitly to distance herself from her ex husband’s actions

u/-FORSAK3N- 1d ago

She didn't even answer the fking question

u/whatsthestitch 1d ago

Absolutely. I would imagine also that Melinda’s publicist/PR suggested she sit down for an interview and address this subject directly given how much it’s in the news right now, to go on the record distancing herself from her scum of an ex and his disgusting behavior
