You're doing such a great job. I love everything about how you're showing up, what you're doing, how you present, the whole beautiful vibe. Thanks so much.
Call 'em out, and then call 'em out again. You're voice could be the one that moves the needle.
Shame on Andrew Ross Sorkin. Is he too, caught up in fame and money? Yes, agreed he’s smart, but he’s complacent about the Epstein situation and took the side of a vicious sexual predator. I will not buy or read his newest book about WallStreet that he is out peddling; such a shame.
This man is a monster and should be in prison. Obviously a sadist. It makes me wonder if other women had similar experiences with him. I didn’t know about Bill Richardson but I’m not especially surprised. Most of us in NM have met him and he was friends with Maxwell and spent time at Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in NM. Richardson was involved in a hit and run scandal several years ago in Santa Fe with another Politico at the wheel. Just terrible that we live in a world where some men feel entitled to treat women and girls like trash.
They’ve really ignored Zorro in this investigation and so much happened there. It was a hot-spot for Epstein’s biggest friends and where Annie Farmer was abused, among many other girls. I think they might have just started an investigation but it’s, like, people, this happened decades ago. Such a miscarriage of justice.
Yes Zorro Ranch should have been looked at more closely. Epstein obtained the property from a former NM governor Bruce King who was a wealthy rancher. It’s a very remote and massive property. I do know Epstein and Maxwell spent a lot of time on the ranch. It had its own air strip and from what I read from local news sources all kinds of people were flying in and out of there. I doubt anyone paid much attention because the ranch isn’t that far from Santa Fe and everyone is used to wealthy celebrity types spending time in secluded hideaways.
The ranch appears to still be shady. A woman I know had a friend who went to a head housekeeper interview there and was asked some very strange questions. Bad vibes and she never went back. A lot of local people worked at Zorro when Epstein owned it. Im sure there’s a wealth of information to be had if someone decided to do some digging.
As a side note on Richardson, he was a very charismatic man. He died a year or two ago and his Santa Fe funeral was full of illustrious political figures. It was even televised on local TV. It just goes to show you never know what’s really going on with the well connected and famous.
The book was an eye opener. It shows how rich powerful men use and abuse young women at will. Many were just children at the time. These evil bastards did so with no fear or repercussions. With the exception of a couple of them that have died the worst part is they are still walking the streets.
Incredible and shocking account. And so disappointing regarding the Times.
And thank you to Ellie Leonard! Fantastic reporting. Keep it up!

It’s a woman issue, not as important as money issues. Time and time again, this is what men think.
Thank you Ellie. It takes a person with integrity and honor to do what is right, even when it costs you on multiple levels. 💜👏💜

You’re doing brave work! I hope you get the recognition when this is all said and done.
And shame on andrew ross sorkin
Wow Ellie. Your ability to connect the dots is infallible. 🦾
Thank you
I was angry in the book before she even met Epstein… shameful. I knew it was Barak when I was reading it as well.

Top notch investigative writing! Truly disgusting so-called men to write about.
I knew it. I just knew it was him! I’m looking forward to getting her book. I asked for it as a Christmas present.

Ehud Barak goosed NYT’s ticket sales. Didn’t he?
Intense to read. So…intimidating to imagine and so filthy it colours the power-structure.
