Reports that Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein once discussed teaming up to purchase a magazine offer a revealing glimpse into how two serial abusers operated in overlapping elite ecosystems, treating media ownership as both status symbol and leverage. According to multiple accounts, the plan reflected a shared belief that controlling a publication could provide influence, insulation, and credibility—another layer of protection in worlds where access and reputation were currency. The idea was never just about business; it fit a broader pattern in which powerful men sought proximity to institutions that shape narratives, quietly reinforcing their ability to move through social and professional spaces without scrutiny. That two figures later exposed as prolific predators were contemplating a joint media venture underscores how normalized their behavior was within certain elite circles long before public reckoning arrived.That normalization reportedly shattered when a falling out occurred, allegedly triggered by Weinstein crossing a line even Epstein would not tolerate—specifically, allegations that Weinstein assaulted or otherwise abused one of Epstein's girls. While details remain contested and largely filtered through secondary reporting and witness accounts, the story has circulated consistently: Epstein, who notoriously treated young women as his property and instruments of control, reacted not out of moral outrage but territorial fury. The alleged rupture highlights the grotesque logic governing these men's interactions—where exploitation was routine, but violating another abuser's “ownership” was unforgivable. Whether or not every detail can be proven, the episode illustrates how predation, power, and entitlement operated openly enough that even disputes between abusers became known within elite networks, long before victims were believed or protected.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

n this encore episode of Still Here Hollywood, Steve Kmetko sits down with actor Natasha Henstridge, who rocketed to fame as the lethal alien Sil in Species, and has been navigating the highs and lows of Hollywood ever since. Natasha opens up about being 19 years old, seeing herself 30 feet tall on a screen for the first time, walking out of the Species screening saying she “hated” the movie, and why she's now deeply proud of it and the way it changed her life and career. She talks honestly about aging in the business, body image, and what it's like to still be recognized for a role she did nearly 30 years ago — including by 20-year-olds who weren't even born when the film came out. She also reflects on working with Bruce Willis on The Whole Nine Yards, shares emotional memories of Matthew Perry, and talks candidly about her experience with Harvey Weinstein, the MeToo movement, and the complicated decision to speak out — and then try to move on. From Canadian small-town winters to Cannes red carpets, big Hollywood breaks to indie films and producing her own Christmas movie, Natasha is funny, vulnerable, and unfiltered. Along the way, she and Steve dive into: The overwhelming pressure of overnight fame after Species Why she initially hated seeing herself on screen How Species still gets her hired around the world decades later Working with Bruce Willis and watching his family rally around him Her memories of Matthew Perry — the humor, the struggle, and the heartbreak Her experience with Harvey Weinstein and how MeToo “moved the needle” Parenting two sons with ADHD/dyslexia and why motherhood is the hardest job she's ever had Growing up in freezing northern Alberta, loving winter, and escaping to LA Body image, beauty standards, social media, and what she tells young women now Producing her own projects and saying yes to work all over the world If Species, late-90s/early-2000s Hollywood, or the MeToo era are part of your movie memory bank, this one hits on all fronts — nostalgia, honesty, and a woman who's very much… still here.

This episode of "The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel" is an informative exploration of sexual predation, the challenges faced by victims, and the societal response to high-profile cases like Epstein. Lionel uses the Epstein story as a "tutorial" to dissect the deep-seated skepticism toward victims, particularly the notion of "asking for it" or failing to satisfy "societal muster". The conversation, featuring callers like Lynn and Dee, addresses the debilitating shock and fear experienced by victims, the devastating long-term effects of trauma, including low self-esteem and self-hatred, and the fear of confronting powerful perpetrators. The discussion also tackles the complex legal landscape, covering issues such as the difficulty victims face when seeking justice through litigation—often being accused of being "after the almighty buck" despite seeking validation—and constitutional concepts like due process, even for figures like Harvey Weinstein. Lionel stresses the critical need for parents to "inoculate" their children immediately against online and real-world predators, teaching them to speak up despite threats and manipulation. Ultimately, the show aims to shed light on how predators operate (often lacking a "judgment center" and favoring intimidation over seduction), and asks why society fails to prioritize the victim in these complicated matters.

Ghislaine Maxwell is a British-born former socialite who became one of the most notorious figures in the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking network. Born in France in 1961 and educated at Oxford, Maxwell moved in elite circles in the US and UK before being charged in 2020 with multiple federal crimes related to the recruitment, grooming, and trafficking of underage girls for Epstein and his associates. She was convicted in December 2021 on five counts—including sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a minor for unlawful sexual activity, and conspiracy—and sentenced to 20 years in prison in June 2022. Maxwell appealed but in September 2024 a federal appellate court upheld her convictions and sentence.Arthur L. Aidala is a veteran New York criminal-defense lawyer who has represented both Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein (the former Hollywood producer convicted of multiple sexual-assault charges) in their high-profile legal battles. In early 2023, Maxwell's legal team hired Aidala—formerly counsel to Weinstein—to lead efforts to overturn her 2021 conviction and obtain a new trial. Aidala's involvement underscores the overlap in legal strategy and defense networks between major sex-abuse cases of the past decade. Their shared lawyer highlights how legal resources circulate among high-stakes defendants in sexual-abuse cases, even when their factual circumstances differ significantly.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

"I feel that the glass is both half full and half empty." Rowena Chiu is a former assistant to Harvey Weinstein. In 1998, she was sexually assaulted by him at the Venice Film Festival and was coerced into signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), which silenced her for over twenty years. In 2017, a New York Times journalist came to her home and doorstepped her husband of over a decade, revealing information about the assault and NDA. Rowena was featured in the subsequent NYT investigation, but she insisted on remaining anonymous. In 2019, she finally broke her story on the NBC Today Show, live in front of three million viewers. Rowena's story was featured in both the book and the movie, SHE SAID. She has given over 700 media interviews across four continents, for international news outlets such as ABC, BBC, CBS, and NBC, and has testified at the House of Commons, the Massachusetts State House, and the State Of The Union. Rowena is writing a memoir, a novel, and a screenplay, in addition to working as a global #MeToo activist, advocating for the rights of those who are oppressed or voiceless, in churches, schools, universities, and workplaces around the world.

The fact that Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Harvey Weinstein together at a shooting party at his Royal Lodge estate is nothing short of grotesque. You've got a convicted pedophile, his notorious fixer, and one of Hollywood's most infamous sexual predators all rubbing shoulders with a royal — and this wasn't some random social accident. It was a deliberate gathering of privilege, power, and moral decay. The timing makes it even worse: Epstein would be arrested just eight days later. The entire event reeks of the entitled arrogance that has defined Andrew's downfall — a man so insulated by his own delusion that he thought nothing of entertaining predators under the Queen's roof.What this shooting weekend really exposes is how the elite operate in their own lawless orbit, where accountability doesn't exist and reputation is protected at all costs. These weren't just casual acquaintances; they were connected through networks of money, influence, and shared secrecy. The absurdity of it — a prince firing shotguns with the architects of modern depravity — shows that the rot wasn't just within Epstein's world, but in every institution that gave him cover. It's not a scandal of association anymore; it's evidence of a cultural sickness where power shields the wicked and mocks justice itself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Hosts Tim Stanley and Rachel Johnson ask: is this the end of the road for Prince Andrew? The Daily Telegraph's royal editor, Hannah Furness, joins us in the studio to reveal why Prince Andrew refuses to leave Royal Lodge, why relocating him to another royal residence “changes nothing,” and how the King being shouted at by a protester signals an “existential crisis” for the monarchy.And as Chancellor Rachel Reeves considers a possible mansion tax in the upcoming Budget, Rachel Johnson warns that taxing homeowners with properties worth over £2 million could spark “riots on a scale the Chancellor won't have foreseen.”Producer: Georgia Coan and Hugo Verelst-WaySenior Producer: John CadiganVideo Producer: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanSocial Producer: Nada AggourEditor: Camilla Tominey Hosted on Acast.

Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein once attempted to form a partnership to buy a controlling stake in New York Magazine in the early 2000s—a deal that collapsed as fast as it began. The arrangement was supposed to merge Epstein's financial clout with Weinstein's media ambitions, creating a powerhouse that would fuse money, influence, and cultural reach under one brand. Epstein, who wanted credibility among Manhattan's elite, viewed the magazine as a gateway into legitimate high society, while Weinstein saw it as a prestige acquisition that would amplify his already considerable sway in entertainment and politics. Together, they envisioned transforming New York Magazine into a hybrid platform of culture, power, and celebrity access. But almost immediately, the partnership unraveled. Epstein found Weinstein volatile and self-serving, while Weinstein reportedly grew wary of Epstein's secretive, predatory reputation and shady financial dealings.By most accounts, their attempted collaboration was doomed from the start—a combustible mix of two men whose egos and appetites far exceeded their judgment. Negotiations deteriorated amid mutual suspicion, personality clashes, and concern that their respective scandals-in-the-making could taint the brand before any deal was finalized. Ultimately, the New York Magazine acquisition never materialized, leaving behind only rumors and recriminations within Manhattan's power circles. Ironically, both men's downfalls years later mirrored each other's: two predators brought low by their own excess, arrogance, and exploitation of women. The failed New York Magazine venture stands as a darkly poetic moment in modern media history—an aborted alliance between two of the most disgraced figures of their generation, united briefly by greed and the hunger for legitimacy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein moved in similar elite circles and shared overlapping social networks, though their relationship was not overtly public or deeply documented in detail. Both men were known for cultivating influence among the wealthy and powerful, including celebrities, politicians, and financiers. There have been reports and allegations that they were acquainted and may have shared connections through figures like Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and various Hollywood and media elites. In the mid-2000s, there were whispers that Epstein offered “damage control” to powerful men facing scandals—suggesting potential cooperation or mutual benefit between him and Weinstein, especially as both operated in environments where secrecy and manipulation of the press were currency.Moreover, both Weinstein and Epstein were notorious for using their power and wealth to silence accusers, discredit journalists, and maintain influence over legal outcomes. Investigative accounts have pointed out similarities in their predatory behavior and their reliance on elaborate networks of enablers. While there's no confirmed evidence of the two men engaging in joint criminal activities, the culture of impunity they operated within—and the shared names on their contact lists—paints a picture of a predatory elite system in which they both thrived. Their relationship, even if indirect or distant, represents the convergence of Hollywood, finance, and elite power shielding itself from accountability.To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8167829/Jeffrey-Epstein-lured-young-women-introducing-Harvey-Weinstein.html

Make the marinade by putting garlic, scallions, parsley, thyme and habaneros in a Nutri bullet small blender and add juice of a lime and one tablespoon oil. Set aside 2 tablespoon in small bowl.  Rub down chicken with orange and lime segments, squeezing the juice over. Place marinade on top of the chicken and rub the marinade all over the chicken firmly, massaging it in. Set the chicken aside covered for up to 25 minutes out of fridge or up to 24 hours in the fridge to marinade while you make your quick pickles. Continue with chicken by heating oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pot and sprinkle sugar in oil and warm.  Scrape most of the marinade off the chicken and place chicken in the Dutch oven, cooking until well browned, regularly. About 11-15 minutes.  Transfer chicken to plate and set aside, turn heat to medium low on Dutch oven, then add green bell peppers, and red bell peppers to the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until just soft, 2 minutes. Add tomato paste, garlic powder, bouillon and reserved marinade cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add 2 cups water, bring to a simmer and add the chicken back to the pot, stir well, reduce heat to medium and cover, cook for 15 minutes. Add onion slices and butter, cook another 5-10 minutes. Pikliz:  2 1/2 cups finely sliced RED AND GREEN cabbage  1 medium carrot, julienned (in a pinch can be shredded carrot) 1 large shallot, finely sliced 2 habaneros, stemmed, quartered 6 sprigs thyme 8 whole cloves 4 garlic cloves 1 teaspoon kosher salt 2 cups distilled white vinegar 3 tablespoons lime juice 1 cup water Pack the cabbage, carrots, shallots, habanero, thyme, cloves and garlic in a large 1 and ½ quart glass jar (with lid).  Add the vinegar, lime juice, salt and water to a medium pot and bring to a boil. When vinegar mix is boiling carefully pour it over the vegetables in the jar. Seal the jar and gently turn the jar back and forth to make sure all the vegetables get coated. Set aside at room temp.
