Legal documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, recently released following a judge’s order, have named several Hollywood stars, including Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Cameron Diaz.
However, all three actors have issued denials of any personal involvement with the disgraced financier. The court files, spanning hundreds of pages, also mention other celebrities like Kevin Spacey, Bruce Willis, and Star Wars director George Lucas. Notably, the inclusion of these names does not imply any wrongdoing or connection to Epstein’s crimes.
In a witness statement, Epstein accuser Johanna Sjoberg clarified that mentions of Blanchett and DiCaprio were based on false press reports. Sjoberg emphasized that she had never met these actors and that Epstein was merely “name-dropping” during her interactions with him.
Representatives for Blanchett, DiCaprio, and Diaz have all denied any association with Epstein. Diaz’s representative stated that she never met Epstein or had any connection with him, regardless of his mention of her name.
Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire with connections to celebrities, politicians, and academics, faced legal troubles for allegations of paying a minor for sex. He served a short jail sentence in 2008 and died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting new charges.
It’s essential to note that the individuals named in the documents, including Blanchett, DiCaprio, Diaz, Spacey, Willis, and Lucas, have not been accused of any crimes related to Epstein’s abuse.
As the story unfolds, it remains crucial to differentiate between mere mentions in legal documents and any actual involvement in Epstein’s illicit activities.
