Billionaire philanthropist Melinda French Gates has said her ex-husband, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, being named in new files relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein dredged up “painful times in my marriage”.
She told an NPR podcast she feels “unbelievable sadness” about the Epstein allegations and that the people named in the records, including her former husband, need to answer to it.
“I am so happy to be away from all the muck,” she said. The couple divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage.
Records released by the US justice department include an allegation by Epstein that Bill Gates caught a sexually transmitted disease. He has called the claim “absolutely absurd”.
Not blaming,and an NDA to cover illegal shit is enforceable?
I’m not from USA, I don’t know how NDAs work there?
No an NDA can’t cover withholding information about a crime. Asking someone to not divulge information under an NDA pertaining to a crime, is in itself a crime/an unenforceable nda
The emails don’t seem to allege any crimes by Bill Gates, there’s nothing about the island etc., it just seems to be alluding to an affair with a Russian woman which already came out a couple years ago, that Epstein knew about and was trying to blackmail Gates about. Unethical but not actually criminal activity on Gates’ part. Possible that could be covered by an NDA since it wasn’t publicly known yet when they split.
If the NDA used generic language, ie: spouse is barred from sharing any private conversations or information shared within the marriage, it may be covered … but IANAL so …
How do you see that playing out?
Subject A says, “Ron told me he committed a crime”
Subject B says “I’m suing you for divulging information that should be covered by the NDA”
It would be admitting that the statement occurred. Thus now the entire NDA is void, and those court records can be used as testimony in a criminal investigation.
Do you actually think Billy Boy sat her down and confessed to fucking teenagers???
Jfc buddy. Use your brain. If anything he had to tell her he caught an STD so she would have to go have it taken care of. For most women that would be the last straw … marriage done.
Keep in mind, OP literally pulled the “NDA” thing out of his ass.

If you don’t specify pronouns there is no way for anyone to know your gender on an Internet forum, so your derogatory animosity comes across as particularly petty.
There are generic terms which can be used, ie: buddy.
No one thinks about that on an Internet forum and policing that seems incredibly petty. Especially when you do it by calling someone a dipshit.
Unless you go out of the way to tell people what pronouns you want, then don’t be upset when people pick one.
at least dipshit is unisex
“My pronouns are dipshit/buddy”? One complimentary, the other derogatory. These are neopronouns I can get behind 100%.

America is covered with them. Iirc California is the only state to have banned them.
