Gérald Marie

So tell us about this.

Yeah, I mean, this is another cautionary tale, actually, in lots of ways, because a guy called Gerald Marie, who was the head of elite model agency back in the day, and he was actually married to Linda Evangelista, one of the so-called supermodels.

But, you know,

he represented, you know, Nomi Campbell and other really, really big supermodels back in the day.

He basically abused them.

And in the case of Cariotis, who you may remember as a big Hollywood star back in the day, she was also a model.

She claimed that she was raped by Gerald Marie at the age of 17 when she was underage.

Now, in 2021, a court in New York decided she had enough evidence to pursue him.

I spent time this summer in France wanting to dig deeper into the relationships that Epstein and Maxwell had with people like Jean-Luc Brunel, who was found mysteriously hanged in his own jail cell while awaiting trial in France.

While I was overseas this summer, Daniel Syed, a known recruiter who was working with Brunel and Gérald Marie and Ghislaine, excuse me, and Jeffrey Epstein, he was also found dead.

I mean, it is a body count that is alarming.

In fact, right now, the only kind of known person who's ever been prosecuted by our American government relating to the Epstein files is Ghislaine Maxwell, and she's the only one who's known to be alive, right? So it is an incredible web that has been woven over decades, and Justine takes a really great view through the lens of five Epstein victims to be able to explore how this was able to happen.

Building that case, Fang has argued, requires France to appoint an investigating judge, a judicial official with the power to subpoena witnesses and compel testimony.

In its ongoing probe targeting former Elite Models boss Gerald Marie, who Fang said faces six new victim complaints filed last week.

And we've talked about Gerald Marie for years here and how he was part of the problem.

one of the Jean-Luc Brunel crew, another guy that was friendly with Epstein.

And wouldn't you know it, another guy accused of being a disgusting diddler.

Maybe the silver lining from him dying on Monday night is that the investigating judge gets a sign more quickly in the Gerald Marie case, Fang said.

Syed was the second Epstein associate to die before French investigators could question him, BBC News reported.

And yo, one time around? Okay, maybe a coincidence.

Because she wasn't just exposing anyone, she was exposing very powerful people.

Almost immediately, Gérald Marie, the head of elite model management, one of the men that she had accused, paid for Karen to be locked up in a psychiatric ward.

A year later, she attempted to take her own life.

Publicly, it was stated that she was struggling with addiction issues, but Karen herself maintained that she has never had addiction issues.
