Ghislaine Maxwell, a 61 year-old currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her involvement in a ѕex trafficking conspiracy with Jeffrey Epstein, has expressed her belief that the 66 year-old financier was murdered while incarcerated in 2019. During an interview with TalkTV’s Jeremy Kyle from within the Florida prison where she is being held, Maxwell voiced her skepticism of the New York City medical examiner’s ruling that Epstein had killed himself.

“I believe that he was murdered. I was shocked. Then I wondered how it had happened because as far as I was concerned, he was going to … I was sure he was going to appeal,” Maxwell told TalkTV’s Jeremy Kyle.

In addition to casting doubt on the official cause of Epstein’s death, Maxwell also took aim at Prince Andrew for his alleged involvement in the abuse of Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of paying millions in an out-of-court settlement. When asked about a widely circulated photo showing Prince Andrew with his arm around Giuffre, with Maxwell nearby in the background, she responded that it was “fake” and that she had only ever seen a photocopy of it.

Maxwell went on to express regret at never having realized how “awful” Epstein truly was before becoming involved with him. She insisted that if she had been aware then what she knows now, namely, how terrible his conduct was, then it would have been far better for all involved if they had never even been acquainted.
