Tony Hawk Refutes Epstein-Island Wedding Claim, Cites Verifiable Records

He cites verifiable records to explain a mix-up tied to a photographer sharing Epstein’s brother’s name.

Overview

  • Hawk posted an Instagram statement listing the dates and locations of his four weddings, saying none occurred on Little Saint James and that he never met Jeffrey Epstein.
  • The rumor stems from an Oct. 22, 2024 FBI threat-intake email in the DOJ’s newly released Epstein files recounting a survivor’s claim that Hawk married on the island.
  • Hawk pointed to his 2006 Fiji ceremony on Tavarua Island, with photos licensed to Getty by guest Mark Epstein, whom he described as an unrelated action sports photographer.
  • Media reviews note his name appears only a few times in the files, including two references to the 2010 video game Tony Hawk: Shred rather than to any island travel.
  • Hawk called the online claims misinformation, apologized to the photographer for the confusion, and emphasized that the wedding details are publicly verifiable.
