Melinda Gates has been meeting with divorce lawyers since 2019: report
Bill Gates’ wife has been talking to divorce lawyers for more than 18 months — and was concerned in part by his ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to a bombshell report Sunday.
Melinda Gates, 56, has been working with lawyers at several firms since at least October 2019 — the same month her husband was first exposed as having repeatedly met Epstein at his Manhattan mansion, the Wall Street Journal said, citing sources and divorce documents.
The Microsoft co-founder’s dealings with the convicted pedophile had been a source of concern for his wife, sources told the paper.
Melinda Gates — a global advocate for women and girls — had already warned her billionaire tech-mogul husband that she was uncomfortable with Epstein after they both met him in 2013, the outlet’s sources confirmed of earlier reports.
In 2013, the Microsoft multibillionaire also allegedly flew on Epstein’s so-called “Lolita Express” private jet from New Jersey to Palm Beach, Florida, according to flight records.
Yet despite Melinda’s concerns, Gates and some staff from their Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation maintained ties with the sick financier — who killed himself in his Manhattan lockup in August 2019, where he was awaiting further serious sex charges, the WSJ said.
After the initial expose of his meetings, Gates put his meetings with Epstein down to a “mistake in judgment.”
His wife was already meeting with lawyers, however, with the couple negotiating their divorce throughout the COVID-19 pandemic until their shock announcement last Monday, the report noted.
In that period, the couple had unexpectedly pulled out of the World Economic Forum gathering of leaders in Davos, Switzerland — and Gates also resigned from the boards of Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway.
