Maxwell recalls Epstein’s private Carribean islandpublished at 01:22 British Summer Time<\/p>\n
01:22 BST<\/p>\n
The first mention of Epstein\u2019s private island in the Caribbean
\ncame when Maxwell said that Epstein \u201ctried very hard to keep me working for him\u201d,
\nincluding by running a \u201ctens of millions of dollars [budget] for his island
\nalone\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said the island was part of her purview of overseeing
\nEpstein\u2019s budget, and that she was involved in any spending in relation to the property.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe island was very rustic. I loved it,\u201d she recalled, adding that Epstein was also enamoured with it.<\/p>\n
She said that on
\nalmost every trip for the first two years that he owned it, he could be
\naccompanied by a guest who was there to give their opinion on how to \u201cdevelop\u201d
\nthe island.<\/p>\n
She said Epstein would often travel with an \u201centourage\u201d
\nincluding a \u201cmasseuse or a yoga person\u201d. But on occasion, he would require a
\nlocal masseuse \u2013 man or woman – and so she would visit spas in St Thomas and St John to locate
\none.<\/p>\n
“Even though I say he would always travel with an entourage, sometimes he didn’t, and he wanted to have a massage locally,” she said.<\/p>\n
She said it would be hard to convince locals to visit Epstein’s island, because it was a “schlep” and would require a boat ride that took several hours. <\/p>\n
“It’s not like arriving with your massage table and stuff,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maxwell recalls Epstein’s private Carribean islandpublished at 01:22 British Summer Time 01:22 BST The first mention of Epstein\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86536,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-86535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
