Melinda French Gates on Epstein, Justice, and Women's Health

About this episode

Melinda French Gates discusses her experiences with Jeffrey Epstein and her commitment to women's health and rights following her marriage to Bill Gates.

Melinda French Gates stunned listeners by calling Jeffrey Epstein “evil” and revealing how their association—her objections to Bill Gates’ continued contact with Epstein—played a pivotal role in their 27-year marriage ending. Haunted by nightmares and frustrated with a justice system that failed to stop him, she now channels her energy into a bold new chapter: leading her own nonprofit, Pivotal, and pledging $215 million to women’s healthcare, from reproductive rights to menopause support. She’s also fiercely defending women’s autonomy over their bodies, lamenting that her granddaughters face fewer rights than she did. Despite the pain, she describes her current mission as “beautiful,” focused on building a more equitable world for women and families.
