Overview
- Radziwill confirmed that her name appears in the Department of Justice files from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and said she did not know Epstein.
- She told Bravo host Andy Cohen at a press Q&A that she was once friends with Ghislaine Maxwell but called Maxwell a "horrible, horrible person" who hid criminal behavior.
- Radziwill said she was initially nervous when the files surfaced but that she will not shy away from the topic and intends to be transparent about her past associations.
- The Season 16 trailer for The Real Housewives of New York City raises the issue and Radziwill will return as a full-time cast member when the series premieres on Sept. 8.
- The coverage stresses that being named in the DOJ materials is not proof of criminal conduct and that the Epstein and Maxwell prosecutions remain the legal context shaping public scrutiny.
