Former Love Island contestant Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has ignited a fresh wave of controversy by sharing a provocative theory about the late financier Jeffrey Epstein in a new social media video. The reality television personality stated she is convinced that Epstein, who died in prison in 2019, might still be alive, describing the entire case as "so dark" and "twisted."
Massive Document Release Fuels Speculation
Her comments come in the wake of a monumental data release by the US Justice Department last Friday, which saw over three million documents, emails, photographs, and videos related to Epstein's offending made public. This extensive document dump provides unprecedented insight into the activities of the convicted sex offender, though officials have been careful to note that mere appearance in the files does not imply guilt or wrongdoing.
Ekin-Su's Social Media Bombshell
Taking to her Instagram stories, Ekin-Su expressed her fascination with the unfolding Epstein saga. "Surely it's not just me, but like everything about Jeffrey Epstein is so interesting," she remarked. "It's so dark, so twisted it's sick minded. I want to find all these clues. I'm just scrolling and scrolling on my 'for you page' and my TikTok has gone crazy with all this information."
The television personality went further, questioning the official narrative surrounding Epstein's death. "I'm convinced he's probably alive somewhere," she declared. "I don't even know if he's dead." She concluded her video with a casual sign-off, raising her coffee cup and saying, "Happy day guys," a stark contrast to the gravity of the subject matter.
High-Profile Names in the Documents
The newly released files contain numerous accusations from alleged victims against Epstein and include references to several high-profile individuals. Among them is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, who has consistently and vehemently denied all allegations made against him in connection with the case.
In a significant development, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has broken his silence regarding his inclusion in the Epstein files. New emails from the late financier contained lurid and unverified claims about Gates's private life, including an allegation that Gates requested antibiotics to "surreptitiously give" to his then-wife Melinda after supposedly contracting a sexually transmitted infection.
Bill Gates Responds to Allegations
In an interview with Australian outlet 9News, Gates firmly denied the accusations, describing the email as "false" and unsent. "Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. That email was never sent. The email is false," Gates stated. He expressed profound regret over his association with Epstein, saying, "Every minute I spent with him, I regret, and I apologise that I did that."
The release of the Epstein documents has prompted reactions from various quarters, including politicians and celebrities, but Ekin-Su's theory about Epstein potentially being alive represents one of the more unconventional takes to emerge. Her comments highlight how the case continues to captivate public imagination and fuel speculation, even years after Epstein's reported death in a Manhattan jail cell.
