The Jeffrey Epstein scandal is one of the most haunting stories to come out of Hollywood, especially, if seen in conjunction with Harvey Weinstein’s conviction.
For those who don’t know, Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of sexual harassment and trafficking of minors, for which he was serving time in prison, before his suicide. After his death, his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell was also convicted for assisting him in the trafficking. [H/T BBC].
With a podcast the size of his, Joe Rogan often delves deep into social and political issues – his surveying this particular territory is also famous. However, it seems like Rogan got a massive detail wrong, which Eliza Bleu, a human trafficking survivor activist pointed out.
The tweet read, “I know that it’s a common mistake @joerogan but (Ghislaine) Maxwell was found guilty of trafficking to Epstein. I just saw you say that she was found guilty of trafficking to no one. All of the co-conspirators need to be held accountable. All of the survivors deserve justice.“
I know that it’s a common mistake @joerogan but Maxwell was found guilty of trafficking to Epstein. I just saw you say that she was found guilty of trafficking to no one.
All of the co-conspirators need to be held accountable. All of the survivors deserve justice. ♥️

The thread continued, with Bleu delineating her points in finer details, and also embedding the video where Joe Rogan makes the factual error.
The bravery of the survivors put her behind bars using what they could prove in a court of law.

I think the real question to be asking here is why the FBI knew about Epstein for 11 years and did virtually nothing.
Now they have all of the evidence that they have collected and are not holding all co-conspirators accountable.

Joe Rogan shows his disapproval for Ghislaine Maxwell being housed in a low-security prison
Joe Rogan has, over time, shown his strict ideological policy of no-wiggle room for leniency towards sex offenders, especially when it comes to harm to minors. This could be seen by his overwhelming support of Cain Velasquez, and now, his condemnation of Ghislaine Maxwell.
After the death of Epstein, it was also found by the court sentencing her, that Ghislaine Maxwell also aided in the horrifying exploits. Although Maxwell has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for aiding and abetting in the trafficking endeavours of Jeffrey Epstein, she has been moved to a low security prison. This was tackled by Rogan on an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) where his disgust could be quite visibly observed.
He said, “Ghislaine Maxwell is in a minimum security prison. She’s allowed to do yoga, she’s allowed to hang out and watch TV, and just watch Netflix.”
Continuing, he also demanded that the “list’’ be released. The item being referred to here contains the details of other prolific people involved alongside Epstein in his heinous crimes.
Joe Rogan commands a massive audience. It has happened in the past that people have been divided over his commentary on certain issues; however, when people unite to deliberate on the true nature of gliteratti, Joe Rogan comes into the picture, putting the deserving on full blast.
