In a rare interview, disgraced socialite Ghislaine Maxwell spoke about her relationships with Jeffery Epstein, former president Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew..Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for trafficking and grooming underage girls who were abused by Jeffrey Epstein, conducted the interview with the Daily Mail in a Florida prison, Tallahassee's Federal Correctional Institute, as part of an upcoming TV special to be telecast on CBS-Paramount Plus..According to flight logs obtained by FOX News, Clinton was a frequent flyer on Epstein's private jet, known as the ‘Lolita Express’ taking at least 26 trips..Maxwell said her friendship with Clinton was special and lasted over the years.."We had lots in common,” she said. “I feel bad that he is another victim, only because of his association with Jeffrey. I understand he, like others, can no longer consider me as a friend.".Of all the people who were guests on the jet, Prince Andrew fell the furthest from grace..Maxwell was asked about the notorious photograph of the Prince, with his hand around the waist of a then 17-year-old Virginia Roberts, now Giuffre, with Maxwell standing behind and to the side.. Prince Andrew with his arm around Virginia Giuffre as Maxwell looks on .It is said the photo was taken by Epstein..Maxwell corroborated the Prince’s claim the photo was fake, even though photography experts, as well as Giuffre, said the photo is not doctored.."This photo is not real," Maxwell insisted. "There was never an original one produced."."It would never occur to me that, at that time, somebody would have created a photograph or, you know, done something with a picture..“I recognized the surroundings of that photograph, nothing more than that.".When told Prince Andrew’s lawyer said the two were never close, Maxwell said "I accept that this friendship could not survive my conviction. He is paying such a price for the association with Jeffery Epstein. I consider him a dear friend. I care about him. I follow what is happening to him.".In November 2019, Andrew was forced to step down from public royal duties and the following February, despite continuing denials, Andrew paid Giuffre approximately £12 million to settle out of court a civil claim she had brought against him..Epstein’s ring of sin affected many people, including some who never met him, said Maxwell..'There are many people who have been impacted by this story who have been cancelled, some friends of mine who never even met Epstein lost their jobs,” she said. “People who literally had nothing to do with him whatsoever have been cancelled.".“So, I think for all those people, including some of them who never met him, it's been a very heavy price that has been paid due to the cancel culture. So, you know, from that perspective, I think it's been very difficult for a lot of people.”.Maxwell talked about Epstein..“I said in open court in my statement that meeting Jeffrey Epstein was the greatest mistake of my life,” she said. “And obviously, if I could go back today, I would avoid meeting him and I would make different choices for where I would work.".“I think there are many women who can identify with my story. Many have either fallen in love with or had relationships with men that in hindsight they look back on and say 'What was I thinking?' I imagine there's not a woman on the planet who would not think that about one or other of their boyfriends.”
