A posthumous memoir by Virginia Giuffre has reignited a storm over Jeffrey Epstein’s circle by repeating a shocking claim: that Ghislaine Maxwell once boasted about performing a sexual act on actor George Clooney at a party. The allegation is explosive and unproven, and Clooney’s camp is reportedly furious, calling the story a grotesque fabrication and insisting he never met Maxwell. Americans should be clear-eyed: an allegation of this gravity cannot be shrugged off or dismissed simply because it targets a Hollywood VIP.
Virginia Giuffre’s memoir was published after her tragic death, and it compiles years of accusations she made against Epstein, Maxwell, and other powerful figures. Giuffre’s accounts have been central to public outrage over Epstein’s network, but portions of memoirs and recollections are by nature personal testimony and sometimes uncorroborated. That does not mean her words can be ignored, but it does mean the rule of law and standards of proof must guide us rather than rumor and tabloid hysteria.
Meanwhile, Maxwell—convicted in Epstein-related prosecutions and currently serving a long sentence—has repeatedly resisted implicating other famous names, telling investigators she is unaware of any comprehensive “client list” and denying that she witnessed abuse by some of the people now being named. The DOJ transcripts and reporting show messy, contradictory threads, which should prompt thorough, transparent investigation rather than reflexive protection for celebrities. If powerful people are truly innocent, they should welcome full scrutiny to clear their names.
Make no mistake: the American people are tired of two-tier justice where the connected and rich get a soft landing while ordinary victims are ignored. Hollywood has long insulated its own with PR teams, hush-money, and secrecy, and conservatives have every right to demand fairness, accountability, and due process. We should be relentless in demanding that institutions—courts, congress, and law enforcement—do their jobs without fear or favor, not to gawk at gossip but to seek truth where there may be crimes.
The bigger picture is what should concern every patriot: how a network of elite enablers operated for decades with remarkable impunity. Maxwell’s conviction and the raft of documents and testimony unearthed over the years show systemic failures to protect the vulnerable and to hold the powerful to account. If this memoir has thrown new names into the ring, the proper response is not celebrity damage control or cable-TV denunciations but subpoenas, sworn testimony, and public records opened to journalists and oversight committees.
Conservatives should lead the charge for clarity and justice, not tribal silence or opportunistic smear. Demand the facts, insist on sworn statements, and push for real transparency from the media that often bends over backward to protect its own cultural icons. America deserves an even-handed pursuit of truth—no more cover-ups, no more sacred cows—so that victims can find justice and the falsely accused can be publicly and legally cleared.
