The recently unearthed Jeffrey Epstein documents named several Hollywood stars, including one famous musician.
On Wednesday, January 3, the court unsealed the Jeffrey Epstein list, which included the names of several celebrities in the industry. The files are part of the lawsuit filed by Epstein's victim, Virginia Giuffre, against his girlfriend and close confidant Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015.
The Musician That Was Mentioned on Jeffrey Epstein List
Social media users who scanned the list spotted Michael Jackson's name, but the King of Pop was not mentioned for any wrongdoing.
A deposition, dated May 18, 2016, featured Giuffre's lawyer, Sigrid McCawley, questioning the witness regarding the people she spotted with the financier.
"I met Michael Jackson," the witness responded when asked about famous people she met when she was with Epstein. "At his house in Palm Beach. At Jeffrey's house in Palm Beach."
The lawyer asked the witness if she gave the "Smooth Criminal" singer a massage at that time, and she vehemently denied it.
The deposition ended with Maxwell's attorney, Laura Menninger, asking the witness the same question. The witness confirmed she met Jackson and denied of doing anything with him.
The documents did not mention any potential wrongdoing of the late musician.
Meanwhile, the other celebrities named in Jeffrey Epstein's List included Cate Blanchett, Bruce Willis, Kevin Spacey, Naomi Campbell, David Copperfield, Cameron Diaz, Stephen Hawking and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Jackson's visit to Epstein's property was also mentioned in Brad Edwards' 2020 book, "Relentless Pursuit: My Fight for the Victims of Jeffrey Epstein."
"For a young woman like Johanna, the fact that there were stars who were friends with Jeffrey and Ghislaine was an attractive bonus of the job," the book shared. "Even the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, had been enough of an Epstein acquaintance to pay him a visit in Palm Beach while Johanna was working there."
The "Thriller" singer himself faced allegations he molested underage boys, though he constantly denied them during his life. He was acquitted on all counts in the molestation case in 2005 after 140 witnesses painted him as a pedophile and Peter Pan.
Jackson died of acute propofol intoxication in June 2009. He was 50 at the time of his death.
