Overview
- Carole Radziwill addressed her appearance in the Epstein files on The Real Housewives of New York City on Tuesday, Oct. 13, and said one of her emails with Ghislaine Maxwell was shown on the episode.
- She told cast members she never met Jeffrey Epstein and never visited Little St. James, repeating a long‑standing denial that she had contact with Epstein.
- Radziwill said she met Maxwell in London after her husband’s 1999 death, that they were friendly through mutual acquaintances in early 2000s New York and later drifted apart, and that Maxwell arranged a single dinner with Prince Andrew.
- She characterized the messages as routine social notes—invitations and plans to see friends—and a castmate clarified that the word “girls” in those texts did not refer to Maxwell and Epstein’s teenage victims.
- Ghislaine Maxwell remains convicted and serving a 20‑year sentence for sex trafficking, and Radziwill used the episode to question why the DOJ and FBI did not investigate more men linked to Epstein, a point that may widen public scrutiny of elite social networks and of how accountability was handled.
