Carole Radziwill responded to questions from her colleagues on the show «The Real Housewives of New York» about her connections to Ghislaine Maxwell, leading to an unexpected revelation. In the episode that aired on October 13, Carole noted that her name appears in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Earlier this year, documents were released mentioning her past communications with Ghislaine. Carole emphasized that she «never knew Jeffrey Epstein» and that Ghislaine «never spoke about him». Epstein was accused of trafficking in 2019 and died in custody while awaiting trial. Ghislaine was convicted of child trafficking in 2021 and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
When Sai De Silva and Jessel Tank joined the group, Carole found herself in the spotlight. Sai asked if they were «really good friends». Carole replied that, although it might sound that way in the press, Ghislaine was never her close friend. She explained that she was «friendly» with Ghislaine because they had mutual acquaintances, and in the early 2000s, it would have been strange if Ghislaine had not been present at major events in New York.
Sai continued to ask questions about how Carole met Ghislaine and why they stopped communicating. Carole explained that their friendship was not deep, and they simply «drifted apart». She described Ghislaine as a «social climber» attracted to money and power.
The discussion became tense when Sai mentioned that the Epstein scandal «makes her stomach hurt», - especially as a mother of a teenager. Carole noted that she understands people’s curiosity but believes there is a fine line between curiosity and accusation. She added that a more important question is why the Department of Justice and the FBI did not investigate the men involved in the case.
Carole also shared her experience of sexual violence in college, which elicited an emotional response from her colleagues. She emphasized that it is a painful topic and expressed regret that she had to bring up such memories to justify herself to Sai. The episode of «The Real Housewives of New York» airs on Bravo on Tuesdays at 8 PM Eastern Time.
