Overview
- In an Instagram post on Feb. 5, the skateboarder listed the dates and locations of his four weddings, none of which occurred on Little Saint James.
- He stated he has never met Jeffrey Epstein and has never visited the financier’s private island.
- The rumor traces to an Oct. 22, 2024 email in the DOJ’s newly released Epstein files summarizing a tipster’s unverified claim about a wedding on the island.
- Hawk explained that photos from his 2006 ceremony on Tavarua Island, Fiji, were licensed to Getty by guest Mark Epstein, an unrelated action sports photographer from Wyoming.
- Outlets noted that other references to Hawk in the files concern his 2010 video game, and he apologized to the photographer for being pulled into what he called a misinformation vortex.
