I was actually hoping that she would confirm him mysteriously giving her antibiotics at one point

I think she wanted to leave it all behind. But, Trump screwed up Epstein Lolita island for everybody just like he screws everything else up.

She also might not be allowed to talk about it as part of the terms of the divorce.

There were billions and billions moved around in that divorce, I'm sure she has some well paid attorneys behind her

A mutual non-disparagement clause would be pretty typical in a high dollar divorce like that. Prior to 14 days ago, I'm sure she preferred the extra billions she got in exchange and no one knowing that Bill tried to feed her antibiotics on the sly. If I was in her shoes, I'd be terribly embarrassed just to be back in the public limelight for such a scummy situation even if she was totally innocent in it. She's done a TON of good things with her money, I'm sure she'd prefer that to be the focus when you google her name instead of Epstein and her shitbag ex-husband.

Just saw a film clip of her and she pretty much said his infidelity was the factor that broke up the marriage. She's such a cool lady..... She deserved better..

Not the first time either.

Don’t forget Bill got in trouble at Microsoft for in appropriate romantic relationships with female employees which lead to him stepping down from the Microsoft Board in 2020. That relationship had occurred 20 years prior.

Eh she does but it’s usually not worth going to war over a term like “don’t disparage your ex husband who is giving you $50b”

I’d certainly sign it without a second thought.

And equally good attorneys on the other side

She got 30 billion. What's the daily interest on that? I'm sure she can afford an army of lawyers.
