Bill Gates says his divorce from his wife of 27 years is a 'source of great personal sadness,' and that his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was a 'huge mistake.'
"I'm in a time of reflection. ... At this point I need to go forward," Gates said in response to a question about the reports."You know, my work is very important to me, you know, but then the family will heal as best as we can and learn from what's happened."
Other reports following the divorce recounted that French Gates was uncomfortable with her husband's ties to Epstein — a friendship that was reported to have begun in 2011, three years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor. "It was a huge mistake to spend time with him, to give him the credibility of, you know, being there," Gates said. “You know, there were lots of others in that same situation, but I made a mistake.”
He added that he had"several dinners" with Epstein,"hoping that what he said about getting billions of philanthropy to global health through contacts that he had might emerge." The relationship ended, Gates said, when the prospective funding"looked like that wasn't a real thing."
