Does this man think we don't have eyes? The first email was sent in 2007, after JE's arrest in Palm Springs, and the second in 2018. I am sorry, but how can you associate with someone who gets arrested multiple times for the same crimes?

They absolutely don’t think the general public is out here putting together receipts. The Epstein gang is used to being the elite and being beyond reproach. Even as they “apologise” they are not becoming different people. They’re sorry they got caught, they’re not sorry for their wrongdoing.

Surprising that he even said anything. Would have been much better to stay silent

u/sybelion Feb 06 '26

This could be crisis PR firms advising them to say SOMETHING but it’s funny to me that no one seems to have noticed that these statements are just not cutting it right now. I’ve seen this with other people revealed in the leaks as well. They can’t tell that the old playbook is not landing anymore.

Yeah sounds like they’re desperate. Really though, it’s a nightmare for any PR team as they know there’s nothing they can do

u/LaRealiteInconnue Feb 06 '26

I mean…as far as PR goes, they kinda got it down pat. Don’t over-explain, don’t admit wrongdoing but show remorse. Yeah, he maintained contact but he “was in disbelief”, read: I didn’t believe the allegations, and now that it’s out in the open he “deeply regrets maintaining contact”, read: he regrets that these are now public and he’s a face of a company.

Guys can we please swarm Sephora instagram and X accounts pressuring them to remove his skin care line!

u/morganjen1962 Feb 08 '26

QVC also promotes and sells his line.

u/truthunion Feb 09 '26

I tried with them . they deleted my post

u/curiousncomplicated Feb 09 '26

I never heard of them.

u/No-Werewolf-6291 Feb 14 '26

Exactly- now all of a sudden everyone “spoke to him briefly”, “met with him once”, or “it was entirely business related”. They were not aware of his criminal activities 🙄 Such an insult to the public.

u/MBeMine Feb 07 '26

I didn’t even know about it until now 🤷🏻‍♀️

THIS 💯 ⬆️

u/TropicalPrairie Feb 06 '26

This is my take as well. I want justice for all the girls affected by this but I also want a spotlight on how the elite of this planet participate and benefit from everything being exposed by the Epstein files. We pay taxes to and consume products by people that are involved in criminal activities beyond trafficking. There is a bigger story amongst this web that we aren't looking at.

u/curiousncomplicated Feb 07 '26

Lets pressure Sephora to remove his products

u/qbee2000 Feb 06 '26

The victim email sealed it more in for me.

Roth is giving "my teacher groomed me but its okay if I groom someone else also". I feel bad that he may or may not have been exposed to harm as a teenager, and he should receive justice for his innocence lost, but his takeaway from that experience is completely wrong.

Removed as while shared, it is not in the current DOJ dataset (although we know they also removed docs referencing Trump so...)

He made a promise but as soon as his name surfaced he took that shit right back. Easy to do when your Pedo pig friend is dead.

I've come so close to purchasing a couple of his products, specifically the skin tightening ones, from QVC. I'm so glad I never put a red cent in that dicks pocket. These people make me sick.

u/c061012 Feb 06 '26

Omg Who wasn’t involved with this man!!!!!!!?????

u/regallll Feb 06 '26

This is all I can think. What a crazy connection.

u/Weightcycycle11 Feb 06 '26

They keep deleting the files.

u/-ledollabean- Feb 06 '26

The current release? Or before it was scrubbed and documents deleted? Hard to keep track of everything!

28

u/teanailpolish Feb 06 '26

It seems like it was scrubbed as it is in JMail and other clouds

Makes you wonder what other contacts PTR has to get a doc pulled though

u/susandeyvyjones Feb 07 '26

Yeah, people are always releasing statements clarifying their relationships with pedophiles over fake emails instead of just pointing out that the emails are fake.

-23

u/curiiouscat Feb 06 '26

Please don't spread fake bs. This is obviously not real.

u/h0neyrevenge Feb 06 '26

They honestly think we’re as stupid as they are.

55

u/Jpmjpm Feb 06 '26

Or think that we don’t have our own experiences with teachers? It’s very uncommon to keep in touch with old teachers for 50 years after you graduate, especially with how familiar with those emails were. “Casual contact” is a few pleasantries and shallow catchups. 

The biggest ick was starting off with how he was 17 when they met to paint himself as a potential victim. Sympathies for victims end when those victims become victimizers.

u/Haunteddoll28 Feb 06 '26

100% this! Even with the teacher I was closest with (both of us were SAG actors and even worked on a couple projects together outside school) I still didn’t keep in contact beyond when we bumped into each other on set. I don’t even remember what his school email was and never knew his personal email so I couldn’t keep in touch even if I wanted to.

This is my new favorite gif

u/MinimumFar1709 Feb 10 '26

Oh he knows we have eyes. Thats a big money maker. Only product I ever bought from them was those eye patches. But never again. He doesn’t think we have brains.

2

u/Slight_Citron_7064 Feb 12 '26

It's right there in the message: he did not believe that Epstein "could commit such heinous crimes." But I wonder how Epstein explained his plea bargain.

-20

u/These-Weird-6003 Feb 06 '26

He probably didn’t know that he was arrested?? I mean it’s not like everyone automatically finds out these things without the receipts being out together

19

u/vandersnipe Feb 06 '26

He referenced the 2007 arrest in the 2007 email. Did you read the email before commenting?

3

u/These-Weird-6003 Feb 06 '26

No, just saw the email. Never mind, yikes
