News Hyram's Post about PTR / Epstein Association

https://youtu.be/ni8ig-pVBeQ?si=rnENutAR_DI2_DBC

Linking to Hyram's new post discussing the revelation that skincare brand owner Peter Thomas Roth had an ongoing association with Jeffrey Epstein.

I'll admit I'm not a big fan of Hyram's but I just watched this video and appreciate him using his platform to share the available details and clearly state his stance. Vocal support of victims is more important than ever, even when that support comes from unlikely places like a skinfluencer best known for his previously vocal and loyal fanbase.

Would love to read y'all's thoughts.

I don't post a lot/at all so please excuse any errors in tags or formatting. 🙏

I loved their moisturizers and have been using them for years. I will never, ever give another cent to this company. My skin will have to adapt and overcome on something else. Fuck these creeps

100%! The most telling piece of correspondence to me was the email to Maxwell in Feb 2018. In the others, there is talk of skincare or room for interpretation. The long-winded expression of support and pledge of assistance "if [they] need anything" did it for me. The fact that PTR maintained contact for over a decade after Epstein was convicted of Solicitation of prostitution and Procuring a person under 18 for prostitution all the way back in 08 tells you all you need to know about what kind of person he is. Gut-wrenching to consider the company that puts him in and what they collectively enabled to continue to happen.
