Ghislaine Maxwell

It's only since the PA interview that I realised her name is pronounced Gurlaine and not Jizlaine.

As I posted on another thread....Maybe Lord Lucan has a new live in carer?

Funny that merlot
I had a French friend, a former teaching colleague, sadly dead now, who very definitely pronounced her name “Jheez-laine” I can’t read it any other way.

MawB, I've been wondering the same!
I read somewhere about her trawling Central park looking for young girls....

It seems she acted as some sort of illicit procurer of the young women/girls who were abused, very questionable "pimp" like behaviour. Surely she should also be called to account for her culpability in the whole Epstein affair.

Perhaps she’s on a yacht somewhere.

If JE was murdered (as his brother thinks) because he knew to much about the rich and famous, perhaps she’s frightened and in hiding?

Just an aside. JE’s brother has inherited all his millions of dollars. (billions?)

Considering JE started off as a gardener, wouldn’t it be nice if his brother donated the biggest portion of his inheritance to a children’s charity?

That’s what I’d do with his money anyway. I’d have no joy in spending it.

I doubt we'll see her again.

She'll have gone to ground

Andrew mentioned several times in the interview that he was friends with Ghislaine rather than her husband and as we now learn that he is withdrawing from public duties, maybe they will swan off somewhere together.

She wasn’t married to Epstein was she?

Isn't Ghislaine a pretty name!

I think the man was murdered too, to keep him quiet and there's no other sure-fire way of shutting someone up.

Me too MerlotGran (about how to p;ronounce Ghislaine).

Lots of others who will need “shutting up” in that case. There must be a lot of very influential people wondering if they will be summoned for questioning. Presumably he was supposed to be on suicide watch?

There must be a number of people involved in his murder. He presumably wouldn’t just let them do it so there would be bruising, drugs in his system etc which all had to be covered up by prison staff, police, morgue staff and pathology dept. Perhaps I’ve been watching too many CSIs!

I m afraid I have always thought he was murdered and I think many ‘suicides’ may be murders I remember a mother telling me that her son had committed suicide but she was convinced it was murder as he had been concerned for his life before he was found and there was no note or anything she was convinced he’d been killed unlawfully and it made me consider this may be more common than we ever believe

I always said Jiz Laine too

The h would suggest a hard G so I googled. The pronunciation given was with a hard g but also with a zeddy kind of s, and 'laine' pronounced in a French way, more like len than lane.

So that's what I'm going with should I ever need to say the name out loud. It is a lovely name.

Re the name pronunciation, in the interview Andrew seemed to pronounce it ‘Gilane’ using a hard G I thought.
Not that it matters I suppose.

I thought that, Calendargirl. PA did say 'Gilane' and it is a pretty name. Wasn't her father's yacht (the one he fell/was pushed off) called The Lady Ghislaine?

Isn’t she the daughter of Robert Maxwells who owned newspapers and disappeared from a yacht also called Ghislaine? We once saw the boat moored in the harbour in Gibraltar.

All the Maxwells were well dodgy. Maybe Ghislaine (pronounced Gillen, I think) has suffered the same fate as her dodgy father.

Yes. Maxwell's yacht was called The Lady Ghislaine. Some Lady.

They were a pretty unsavoury bunch. When things were going belly up for the family after Maxwell's suicide, the wife of the eldest son threw open her bedroom window early one morning and told the group of people outside, who she thought was the press, to 'F**k Off or I'll call the police.'

The reply was, 'Madam, we ARE the police!'

merlotgran

An aristocratic young lady who knew her said in an interview she has completely disappeared and she doesn't think we will ever see her again. The other possibility is that she may have been murdered? Unless she (or a body) are found we may never know the answer.

So she's got nothing to hide then?

She took part a charity car rally a few months ago.
No, I think she is just lying low.
