[0:00]when Ghislaine Maxwell the one-time Madam of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was last year convicted of sex crimes against underage girls her victims hoped
[0:10]a jail cell would silence her turns out they were wrong as well as appealing her 20-year sentence Maxwell has now begun a
[0:20]concerted campaign to rewrite history and in an audacious and strangely compelling interview from prison she's making some extraordinary claims not
[0:31]only is the disgraced prince Andrew the victim of a malicious hoax she says anyone who thinks she's cruel horrible and guilty
[0:41]misunderstands her completely it's behind the high walls and the
[0:56]barbed wire of Florida's Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution where sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell will spend the next 20 years famous for her High Society connections
[1:13]her toxic Devotion to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and for going on the run for a year 61 year old Maxwell now wears a new
[1:25]mantle inmate zero two eight seven nine five zero nine good morning good morning good morning so um what is that behind you
[1:37]it is a painting okay Ghislaine Maxwell is nothing if not audacious how's it going Prison Walls cannot stop her calling out what she
[1:47]considers a great untruths speaking for the first time since her conviction Maxwell has chosen to talk to her brother Kevin in an interview brokered
[1:58]by producer Daphne Barack everyone I was always asking who is the real G who's the real Gila it's definitely not the person who portraits I feel
[2:09]completely divorced from the person that equal reference and talk about and so the biggest misconception of you
[2:19]because I'm the cruelest meanest horrorless person who's done committed crimes yeah
[2:28]and I mean I I literally haven't seen any details that are accurate
[2:38]for many it's a galling PR campaign by Maxwell and her brothers Kevin and Ian to set the record as they want the world to see it my sister is no monster
[2:50]we believe in her innocence and that she'll be exonerated in the end and ask you about the the all the allegations that have come the effort to rehabilitate their disgraced sister's
[3:00]reputation comes as the appeal against her conviction and sentence looms do you feel safe in jail do you feel safe because there was threats on your life and do you feel safe
[3:11]but yes I feel safe I don't I don't have any safety issues because as you told me it jails are
[3:22]sometimes dangerous and Jeffrey Epstein died in jail um do you believe that he committed suicide because many don't
[3:31]no he didn't I don't believe he did I believe that he was murdered [Music] she has no shame she has no heart she
[3:49]has no conscience for Virginia du Frey and survivors like her there is no disputing the facts as the court found Gillian Maxwell procured
[4:00]underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein she groomed them sexually abused and trafficked them in many ways some say she was even worse
[4:11]than the Despicable Epstein I don't mean to sound sexist in any way shape or form but I I expected it from a man but I didn't expect it from a woman
[4:23]and um yeah I think that's what I swear what do you make of Glenn
[4:37]Maxwell's decision to speak from jail like this it wasn't a surprise it wasn't a surprise because it gives her still that feeling that she's in control even
[4:48]Behind Bars and I think she's doing it for attention [Music] Randy kogan is a psychologist based in
[4:59]Florida's Palm Beach okay okay slow down slow down so I can understand tell me what happened for years now she's been treating women who as girls were abused
[5:10]by Epstein and Maxwell is she a monster I think in many ways she is what Colleen Did she hunted she prayed
[5:19]on these girls and procured them for sexual exploitation and sexist trafficking that's a monster but from behind bars Maxwell is
[5:34]determined to present a selfless side as she discusses her future with brother Kevin if you um when you win your appeal
[5:44]and and get out of prison do you think you'll be accepted Again by the people who are once your friends well I can't
[5:55]just know what my friends will will do or won't do I mean my focus won't be on that I will always tend to
[6:04]what I've now decided though will form the rest of my life which is helping other people who are all have been incarcerated
[6:14][Music] it's an honor to be here attaching herself to causes is not new for Ghislaine Maxwell
[6:24]I'm here representing Civil Society it was not that long ago in an attempt to distance herself from Epstein her great passion was to save the planet's oceans
[6:34]the deep sea and the wild animals that live there now it's other inmates and of course herself with yet another spin on her relationship with former boyfriend
[6:45]Epstein when you look back and what you think your biggest mistake was I obviously wish I'd never met her
[6:55]because I didn't know that it was so awful I mean obviously now I was looking back
[7:06]with hindsight of course do you consider yourself a victim of Jeffrey well I I don't I don't love me use of the word
[7:18]victim but clearly um the fact that I worked for him and that I spent time with him and knew him has devastated
[7:29]my life and hurt many people that I love and hold the air that are around me do you believe that I don't I believe that Jeffrey Epstein was an
[7:41]opportunity to her and I believe that she was an opportunity to Jeffrey Epstein without Jeffrey I don't believe that Colleen could have maintained the lifestyle that her father gave her for
[7:52]most of her life well he paid her 30 million dollars that's exactly right and he got plenty in return if Glenn is a victim of anyone according
[8:10]to Randy kogan it is most likely her domineering father the disgraced media Baron Robert Maxwell he fleeced hundreds of millions of
[8:20]dollars from his employees Pension funds before his body was found floating in the Atlantic Ocean having apparently Fallen overboard from his yacht the lady
[8:30]Glenn the official cause of his mysterious death in 1991 was heart attack and accidental drowning but in
[8:40]Echoes of her response to Epstein's suicide Glenn believes in something more Sinister as she revealed in this interview in 1992
[8:51]what do you feel what happened to him you'll never know so you'll never be 100 sure of exactly what took place anything I'm sure of is that he did not commit
[9:02]suicide I feel that Robert and Jeffrey have very similar qualities and I feel that Elaine spent most of her
[9:12]life trying to please her father and her father groomed her to be this socialite to learn how to read people and manipulate and exploit people
[9:23]people who spent time with Gillen Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein when they were together say that Glenn was deeply in love with Jeffrey Epstein that she would do anything for him can what happened to those girls be
[9:34]categorized as an act of love that she was acting out of love for Jeffrey and that's why she did these despicable things I don't know that galane is capable of
[9:45]love and the love that she has for Jeffrey I think it was the idea of who Jeffrey was and what Jeffrey had to
[9:53]offer I think that's where her love was from behind Prison Walls Glenn is not only determined to correct the world's
[10:04]view of her but she is doing her best to resurrect her close friend the canceled and shameful prince Andrew this photo changed the course of history
[10:15]but Glenn claims to know it's a hoax I have information
[10:24]that would indicate that it is a fraud and a fake Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell lived
[10:38]a glamorous life of travel and exclusive getaways with homes in Paris New York New Mexico the Virgin Islands and Palm Beach Florida but beyond the glitz it was dark and
[10:53]evil with much of the sexual abuse of underage girls happening Behind These closed doors [Music]
[11:04]most of the properties have been sold off with Epstein's former Palm Beach Mansion now raised to the ground psychologist Randy kogan says for her
[11:18]patients the destruction of this place does not remove all their scars but it certainly helps their healing it was very hard I have one or two
[11:28]victims that would have to drive past there to get to work and it was very hard because they would have to try different routes and just to prevent being triggered
[11:40]New York attorney Eric fedali represented eight victims of the Epstein and Maxwell's sex trafficking ring he says knowing Ghislaine Maxwell is locked up
[11:51]gives them a great sense of peace but this interview with her brother Kevin and producer Daphne Barack her ability to get her voice heard as inane
[12:02]as it might be and the tofu has no season there's no seasoning allowed there's no salt or Pepper or anything so it's it's Beyond
[12:14]tasteless jeopardizes their sense of achieving Justice I think it's just trying to shift the narrative I think she's trying to play the victim which
[12:23]was exactly her trial strategy the tofu doesn't taste good enough you know she's just such she's playing the role of victim and it's really I think just gross is the best word it's it's really
[12:33]sad and it's really unfair to the victims for her to keep doing this I mean it's something that everybody
[12:42]asks and you've now been in jail for two and a quarter years and what gives you the strength to keep going the love of my family
[12:53]and friends since many many sports that I have and because I fight for myself for what I know is true
[13:03]and that inspires me every day and the kind of the more negative side there are many women who feel betrayed by you and want you to
[13:13]stay in jail what what do you say to them I say that the Epstein died and they should take
[13:23]the and take their disappointment and upset out on the authorities that allowed that to happen I hope that they have some closure by
[13:34]the judicial process that took place and I wish them um time to heal and to be able to have a
[13:45]productive and good life going forward and that's what I hope for them is she justified in any way in claiming that she's the full guy for Jeffrey Epstein because he's no
[13:56]longer around to be prosecuted I don't see that I don't see her as being a Fall Guy she hunted these girls she preyed on
[14:05]them she groomed them she participated in sexual acts she is just as much guilty as Jeffrey
[14:15]Epstein Maxwell is not just trying to exonerate herself she's also fighting for the Redemption of prince Andrew
[14:25]it was the explosive allegations of Virginia du Frey that she was trafficked to him by his good friends Epstein and Maxwell when she was just 17 that
[14:36]ultimately led to the prince being exercised from the Royal Family but as the saying goes with friends like these who needs enemies I thought it was
[14:47]satire when I first saw it I cannot believe someone actually put that out there to try to disprove any of these claims it was Preposterous and clumsy but this
[14:58]photo was offered by the Maxwells to the prince in his legal battle with Virginia donning masks a Virginia du Frey and prince Andrew this couple was
[15:09]photographed in Ghislaine Maxwell's bathtub they were trying to disprove Virginia's allegation she and the prince had a bath together claiming the space was too
[15:20]small for the foreplay she described but the photo would seem to prove otherwise I'm not sure I've ever seen someone post
[15:29]a picture of two people in a bathtub to try to prove that two people couldn't fit in that bathtub I mean add to it that they they taped pictures of prince Andrew and Miss Drew Freight to their
[15:41]faces it's one of the most absurd things I have ever seen I've been doing this for a pretty long time without making any admissions of guilt last year the prince settled the civil
[15:52]lawsuit brought against him by Virginia for a rumored 12 million pounds it has been reported prince Andrew is now trying to withdraw from the settlement
[16:03]and re-establish his role in the royal family what are the chances of him being able to claw back some of that settlement which he's claiming he wants
[16:12]to do now zero he has zero chance of being able to claw back that settlement he is a competent adult he was certainly well informed about the
[16:23]uh the results and the consequences of signing that settlement agreement back in her Florida jail Ghislaine Maxwell continues her campaign to discredit
[16:35]Virginia du Frey and her so-called Smoking Gun is this now Infamous photograph of prince Andrew and Virginia who was just 17 at the time
[16:45]the photo was taken by Jeffrey Epstein in 2001 in Ghislaine Maxwell's London townhouse but the mission to cast doubt
[16:55]on its authenticity began with prince Andrew in 2019 in this disastrous interview but it's possible that it was you with your armor that's me but but
[17:06]whether that's my hand or whether that's the position I I but I don't I have simply no recollection of the photograph ever being taken
[17:17]and now are the desperately Glenn claims she knows it was a sitter another issue was just the the photo that was shot in kennerton Street which
[17:29]um we've always was a fake and um and that's just a because it didn't happen and because we
[17:39]just think it was a fake I don't believe that I don't believe it's real for a second in fact I'm sure it's not it Remains the fact that no original has
[17:50]ever been produced look there's never been an original and the further there's no photograph right and I've only ever seen a photocopy of it
[18:00]and um further I have information
[18:09]that would indicate that it is a fraud and a fake Maxwell was not pushed on what her so-called information was but Virginia
[18:19]addressed these claims back in 2019 this photo has been verified as an original and it's been since given to the FBI and
[18:30]they've never contested that it's a fake this is a real photo it has to be remembered that this Photograph was published in 2011. nobody from Buckingham Palace jumped up and
[18:42]down said this is a fake nobody said it was a fake only when it came down to the crunch no that's a great point and again if prince Andrew knew that this photo was fake that means that when he was
[18:53]sued he would have known that he had the best evidence right why did he settle the case if he had this bombshell piece of evidence that could have disproven and completely destroyed mystery Frey's
[19:03]credibility he did it this is over that Prince Andrew's case is settled Miss Maxwell is behind bars Jeffrey Epstein is dead put up and shut up exactly rather than Ghana sympathy Glenn's jail
[19:18]cell interview seems to have revealed more than she perhaps bargained for the real Ghislaine Maxwell Ghislaine Maxwell exhibits narcissistic qualities
[19:30]she has no remorse there's no empathy or compassion is she tradable in your opinion could she be rehabilitated the
[19:39]problem with individuals who exhibit symptoms of a narcissistic personality disorder there is a lack of insight and when there's no Insight
[19:50]there's no change so right now she is where she belongs that's correct hello I'm Tara Brown thanks for watching
