Her pointed comments underscore a divide that played a role in their divorce in 2021. An excerpt from her book published by Page Six on Wednesday reveals her ongoing disapproval of her ex-husband&#8217;s association with the disgraced financier. In the book, she reflects on troubling events from 2019, stating that an article by The New York Times raised alarming questions about Bill&#8217;s behavior\u2014questions that suggested he had not only betrayed their marriage but also her values. While Melinda has previously criticized Bill\u2019s links to Epstein, her use of terms like &#8220;betrayed&#8221; and &#8220;disturbing&#8221; indicates a significant intensification of her stance. Reports indicate that Bill met with Epstein multiple times starting in 2011 despite Epstein\u2019s criminal history, which heightened Melinda&#8217;s discomfort as she learned more about these meetings. The couple finalized their divorce after 27 years of marriage in August 2021 following their announcement earlier that year. In his memoir released recently, Bill described meeting Epstein as \u201cfoolish,\u201d asserting those encounters were philanthropic; however, Melinda\u2019s remarks imply otherwise and raise questions about what she may have discovered during their marriage regarding this controversial connection<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2424380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Melinda-Gates.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[52300,34004,8445,16969],"class_list":["post-2424379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-betrayal-2","tag-bill-gates","tag-divorce","tag-values"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Melinda-Gates.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2424379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2424379"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2424379\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2424383,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2424379\/revisions\/2424383"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2424380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2424379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2424379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2424379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
