Epstein survivor SPEAKS OUT on celebrities she encountered
Juliette Bryant is an alleged survivor of Jeffrey Epstein who was lured into his orbit under the pretense that Jean-Luc Brunel’s modeling agency would skyrocket her modeling career.
“I was at a bar restaurant with a friend of mine, and then I was approached by a woman called Naja Hill, who apparently worked for Fox News years later. She approached me, and she said that her friend was here,” Bryant tells BlazeTV host Alex Stein on “Prime Time with Alex Stein.”
Hill allegedly called her friend the “king of America” and told her he was there with Bill Clinton, owned his own island, and his friend owned Victoria’s Secret before asking her if she’d like to meet him.
“It would be good for obviously my modeling career, you know, I was young,” she tells Stein, “it sounded like the most amazing opportunity.”
Bryant then tells Stein that she went to a restaurant where Epstein, Clinton, and Kevin Spacey, along with a few others, were waiting, before they all met and shook hands.
“Bill Clinton actually held onto my hand for a very long time. It was very weird,” she says.
The next day, Hill called Bryant to tell her that Epstein “really liked” her, thought she’d “be great for Victoria’s Secret,” and that she should bring her modeling portfolio to the Cape Grace Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa, where they were staying.
While there, she saw Clinton give a speech at the Western Cape Peninsula Technikon, which she describes as a lower income university in the Western Cape.
“I obviously wanted to go watch the speech, and I did, and what I did notice was Kevin Spacey was filming all the students in the hall. I don’t know why,” she tells Stein. “After the speech, we went back to the hotel, and then they looked at my modeling portfolio, and the girls were sitting there, and Bill Clinton walked past and witnessed the whole modeling casting.”
“Then, Epstein looked at my modeling portfolio and said he thought I’d be perfect for Victoria’s Secret, and he wanted to bring me over,” she explains. “After that, his office started phoning, and Leslie Graff arranged to get me a visa, and get me to New York, and I was there within three weeks.”
After Epstein’s arrest and alleged suicide, some of the celebrities Bryant saw with Epstein denied being affiliated with him — including Kevin Spacey, who claimed in an interview that he didn’t know who Epstein was when he was flying on Epstein’s airplane.
“I don’t understand how someone can fly on someone’s airplane and sit at dinner with them and not know who they are. I mean, that’s an ultimate lie,” Bryant says. “It’s very strange that he’s gone out and done this interview, because it makes you wonder why. It’s like, is he about to be exposed further? What about his accusers that were found dead?”

The Epstein files may be Trump’s biggest liability yet
President Trump snapped at a reporter who asked him about Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday.
Trump is massively misreading his base on this one — and it could cost him the midterms.
President Trump should not underestimate how much goodwill he’s lost among his base due to Pam Bondi’s mishandling of the Epstein files.
People care about the Epstein story, not only because of his sickening crimes against children but because evidence exists of a government cover-up.
Evidence like Epstein’s autopsy showing injuries incongruent with suicide; evidence like Buckingham Palace’s response to ABC’s nuked report on Epstein, Prince Andrew, and President Bill Clinton; evidence like former federal prosecutor Alex Acosta saying he was told to back off because Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and then discovering his Justice Department emails had mysteriously disappeared.
And now, government officials are telling us to ignore the evidence in front of our eyes and believe them — without evidence. Nope. Not happening. We voted for radical transparency and justice. We’re not letting it drop.
The president should not underestimate how much goodwill he’s lost among his base due to Attorney General Pam Bondi’s mishandling of the Epstein files. People are furious. I would know — I was collateral damage in Bondi’s infernal Epstein binder debacle. She should have been fired on the spot.
Country singer John Rich tells a story about eating dinner with Trump, who turned to him and asked — genuinely curious — “Why do people boo at my rallies when I brag about the COVID vaccine?” And then Trump listened to Rich’s answer: People were hurt by that jab.
President Trump should listen to his base about Epstein, too.
We have been hurt by the deep state weaponizing the government against us: calling us terrorists, censoring us when we questioned the outcome of the 2020 election, or the origin of COVID, or rejecting transgender ideology. Trump’s base has been insulted, targeted, subject to violence, arrest, and political persecution for supporting him and our America First agenda.
RELATED: The Epstein case proves one thing: The elites are protected
Forgive us if we refuse to believe government officials now who are asking us to accept a narrative that contradicts the evidence we can see. We will no longer be subject to gatekeepers. Don’t insult our intelligence. Don’t belittle us.
We voted for President Trump because he promised justice.
- Justice for COVID.
- Justice for January 6 and the mysterious RNC and DNC pipe bombs.
- Justice for Russiagate.
- Justice for the phony Ukraine impeachment.
- Justice for the lawfare against Trump.
- Justice for censorship and Big Tech collusion.
- Justice for jailed pro-lifers.
- Justice for journalists targeted by the FBI.
- Justice for parents labeled domestic extremists.
Justice isn’t dismissing those crimes and moving on. Justice means arresting the swamp creatures who perpetrated the crimes and dismantling the corrupt institutions that enabled them to do so.
That’s why the Epstein case is foundational. That’s why Trump’s base has a visceral reaction to being told we would get the Epstein files — and now we are told we’re getting nothing.
Bondi didn’t tell us the truth. She seems more interested in being a Fox News star than keeping promises. Something is fishy about the Epstein stuff — his racket, his death, his friends, his alleged intelligence agency connections. Patting us on the head and telling us “nothing to see here” is infuriating. It will not do.
President Trump should not underestimate the significance of this moment. He’s losing goodwill by the day — and Bondi is to blame.
Trump is smart. He cares about his base. He listens. He should listen now, so that it doesn’t cost him the midterms.
The predator behind Michigan's 'Epstein Island' — and his connection to the Oakland County Child Killer
Long before Jeffrey Epstein's private Caribbean retreat, there was another island where the most depraved acts against children took place in absolute secrecy.
And like Epstein, its owner was a rich and powerful member of the elite hiding in plain sight.
Keenan’s research points to the possibility that those involved in the North Fox Island ring may have played a role in the killings.
His name was Francis D. Shelden, a Yale graduate and member of an Ann Arbor, Michigan, family. He also had penchant for violating little kids.
Shelden was the owner of North Fox Island, a secluded location in Lake Michigan used as a base for a child exploitation ring during the 1970s. Much like Epstein, Shelden projected an image of philanthropy and boasted his influence and connections to mask his predatory actions.
It helped that North Fox was remote enough to be essentially lawless territory, known as a place where the rich could engage in criminal activities without fear of reprisal. Shelden used his sizable wealth to insulate himself from prosecution for years despite mounting evidence of his involvement in a large-scale sex trafficking ring.
Money talks, after all — especially when it comes to matters of corruption and coercion.
The Snow Killings
In "The Snow Killings," Marney Rich Keenan connects the unsolved case of the Oakland County Child Killer, who terrorized Michigan in the 1970s, to the sinister events taking place on North Fox Island.
The Oakland County murders, also known as "the Snow Killings," took place between 1976 and 1977. They involved the abduction, torture, and murder of four children: Mark Stebbins, Jill Robinson, Kristine Mihelich, and Timothy King. These abductions left the community paralyzed with fear, and the discovery of the victims’ bodies in snow-covered locations gave the case its eerie name.
The investigation into these killings uncovered links to a darker, more insidious network of child exploitation. Under the guise of running a charitable organization, Brother Paul’s Children’s Mission, Shelden and his associates lured young boys to the island under the pretense of offering them summer camp experiences. In reality, Shelden's island was a hub for child pornography production, where boys were sexually abused on camera for distribution.
Keenan's extensive exploration reveals key figures who were central to the exploitation ring. Although Shelden was the mastermind behind the island’s operations, he didn’t operate alone. Beasts like him rarely do.
His associate, schoolteacher Gerald Richards, was deeply involved in recruiting boys for the camps and filming the abuse. Richards’ arrest in 1976 for molestation opened the door for investigators to begin uncovering the operations on the island.
Sadly, Shelden managed to escape prosecution by fleeing the country before authorities could apprehend him. Another key figure, Dyer Grossman, was similarly implicated in the abuse. But just like the ringmaster, he disappeared as the investigation began to deepen.
No justice for victims
The nature of the child exploitation on North Fox was far-reaching, extending beyond Michigan’s borders. The materials produced on the island were distributed across state lines and even internationally, making the ring part of a larger, more organized network of child exploitation. Richards, who cooperated with authorities after his arrest, provided key insights into how the island operated and the extent of the abuse.
As for the Oakland County Child Killer, after decades on the case, it remains unsolved. But Keenan’s research points to the possibility that those involved in the North Fox Island ring may have played a role, either directly or indirectly, in the killings.
The parallels between Shelden and Epstein highlight a disturbing reality. Specifically, how the top 1% appear to play by a different set of rules, or no rules at all. Meanwhile, their victims — children whose lives were brutally cut short or permanently altered — were failed (and continue to be failed) by a system designed to protect the rich rather than seek justice.
The bigger picture
This brings us to a rather important point that really needs to be emphasized.
The United States, despite its claim to being the greatest country in the world, offers its most vulnerable citizens frighteningly little protection. Across the country, a child goes missing or is abducted every 40 seconds. That’s more than 2,000 kids every single day.
Each year, around 840,000 children are reported missing. In the land of opportunity, where well over a million pedophiles reside, children become fodder for the most perverted people imaginable. Their suffering finds itself buried beneath bureaucratic incompetence, unearned privilege, and deafening silence.
Remember, behind every statistic is a shattered family, a broken home, and a desperate plea for answers that may never come. Epstein is dead. Shelden evaded justice. The Oakland County killings were never solved.
And yet, the system that allowed these fiends to flourish remains unchanged. The machinery that protects the predators and forsakes the prey grinds on, indifferent to the suffering left in its wake. Laws may shift, investigations may stall, but the core dysfunction — the rot at the heart of it all — persists.
The long, murky friendship of Jeffrey Epstein and Bill Barr
Every man has a hobby or two. Some, like stamp collecting or bowling, reveal very little about his character. Others ... well, let me point you in the direction of Donald Barr, father of former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr.
When Donald wasn’t doing his 9-to-5 work as headmaster at the exclusive New York City private school Dalton, he was busy writing some rather peculiar science fiction. His 1973 novel, "Space Relations: A Slightly Gothic Interplanetary Tale," envisions a universe where the elite indulge in the most depraved of activities.
To this day, with the exception of Ghislaine Maxwell, not a single person linked to Jeffrey Epstein has faced arrest or prosecution.
On the planet Kossar, trafficking, sexual debauchery, and the enslavement of human beings are the norm. The ruling oligarchs treat people as commodities, breeding sex slaves and subjecting them to hormone manipulation to satisfy their perverse desires.
Criminally unqualified
This reads very much like a sci-fi version of Jeffrey Epstein’s real-life empire of exploitation, with all manner of perversions facilitated by his connections to powerful elites.
I mention Epstein for a very specific reason. You see, shortly after writing his rather eccentric novel, Barr inexplicably hired the sexual predator to teach at his school. Epstein, a college dropout with no teaching experience, was criminally unqualified for the role.
Remember, this is the Dalton School we are talking about, one of the most prestigious private institutions in the United States. It has long been a breeding ground for the children of the wealthy and powerful, boasting alumni who go on to attend Ivy League universities and hold influential positions across various fields.
Such an august reputation makes the hiring of an unqualified individual like Epstein all the more baffling — until you realize that dad Donald had worked for the OSS, the forerunner of the CIA. Now, things look a little clearer. But also considerably darker.
Was Jeffrey Epstein an intelligence asset? A better question might be, how could someone without intelligence connections operate with such impunity for so many years?
The formative years
As for Donald’s son, it’s difficult to know where to begin.
The former U.S. attorney general has longstanding ties to the CIA. Early in his career, Bill Barr worked for the CIA while attending law school, specifically in the intelligence analysis and law divisions. Throughout his legal career, Barr maintained connections with the intelligence community, evident during his tenure as attorney general under George H.W. Bush, a former CIA director.
Most readers know that Bill Barr's connection to Epstein traces back to 2019, when, as U.S. attorney general, he oversaw the Justice Department during the pedophile's arrest in Florida. But again, as most readers know, appearances can be very deceptive.
Bosom buddies
Barr and Epstein go way back. As the excellent investigative reporter Nick Bryant has shown with photographic evidence, Barr and Epstein clearly attended the Interlochen Center for the Arts, a renowned arts education institution in northern Michigan, when they were kids. At the very same time.
However, when Bryant looked through the school's yearbook, he found that none of the photos had names listed. A yearbook without names is not just uncommon. It’s unheard of. Something is off.
'Raises serious questions'
In August 2019, shortly after Epstein was found dead in his prison cell, Bill Barr issued the following statement:
“I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody. Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered.”
Indeed, they must. Such as, just how close were Bill Barr and Epstein, really? How deep did their connection go?
And for anyone thinking, "How can you criticize Bill Barr? He's on 'our team,'" let’s be absolutely clear: When it comes to the mass trafficking and exploitation of children — including victims as young as 11 — there are no teams. There's only a choice between good and evil. Either you oppose Satan or support him. I know where I stand. But do we know where Bill Barr stands?
To this day, with the exception of Ghislaine Maxwell, not a single person linked to Jeffrey Epstein has faced arrest or prosecution.
Let that sink in. Epstein masterminded one of the largest and most sophisticated trafficking rings in American history, allegedly catering to some of the world's most powerful figures, from Bill Clinton to Prince Andrew. Yet here we are in 2024, and we are no closer to justice than we were back in 2019.
Under orders?
After Epstein's arrest, Barr initially claimed a conflict of interest, citing his previous work at Kirkland and Ellis — the law firm that helped broker Epstein's notorious 2007 "sweetheart" deal with Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann Marie Villafaña.
But after a quick consultation with "ethics officials," Barr abruptly reversed his decision and inserted himself into Epstein's prosecution in Manhattan. Of course, his connections ran even deeper than a 12-year-old legal assignment. Let's not forget, Barr's father had longstanding ties to Epstein.
Why didn’t Barr fully recuse himself and allow an impartial prosecutor to take charge? Because, it seems, he was under orders not to. And who would issue such orders? Likely, his old friends at the CIA. Epstein had too much dirt on too many high-profile people. For that reason, he was almost certainly murdered. His victims will never see justice, and we will never uncover the actual truth.
Jeffrey Epstein is dead and so too are the chances of getting to the bottom of the darkest story since 9/11.
Bill Barr has some serious questions to answer. He knows this. It's high time the rest of America knew it, too.
Trump says he’ll RELEASE Epstein files: ‘A lot of big people went to that island’
Donald Trump sat down for an interview with famous podcaster Lex Fridman, when he made a suggestion that may have been a dangerous one.
That is, Trump hinted to Fridman that he would release the Epstein files and the client list if he wins the White House.
“What’s the one thing you could say as a presidential candidate that’s pretty much guaranteed that you’re dead,” Glenn Beck comments. “I am going to release the Epstein files and the client list.”
Trump explained to Fridman that he was “inclined to do the Epstein thing” and had “no problem with releasing that list.”
“A lot of big people went to that island. But fortunately, I was not one of them,” Trump continued.
“It’s just very strange for a lot of people that the list of clients that went to the island has not been made public,” Fridman responded, before Trump answered, “It’s very interesting, isn’t it?”
“Remember, Donald Trump is definitely not suicidal,” Glenn says. “But if they could put him in jail, he might become suicidal, and some cameras might go down.”
“It’s happened before,” Stu Burguiere jokes.
The Epstein list is currently with the FBI and overseen by one individual.
“What could possibly go wrong?” Glenn asks. “If it disappears, that would be unfortunate, wouldn’t it.”

WATCH: Epstein Island survivor says she met Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and other celebs
When Juliette Bryant was 20 years old, she was approached by Naja Hill, one of Jeffery Epstein’s associates, at a Cape Town bar where she was hanging out with a friend. It wasn’t long before Bryant was invited to meet Hill’s billionaire boss and former president Bill Clinton.
That was the beginning of what would turn into a years-long nightmare for Bryant.
Today, she meets with Alex Stein to share some harrowing details of her story.
“[Naja Hill] approached me and she said that her friend was here, he was the king of America, and he was here with his friend Bill Clinton, and he owned his own island in the Caribbean, and his friend owned Victoria Secret, and would I like to meet him,” Bryant recounts, noting that she initially thought it was “the most amazing opportunity.”
“So, I went to the restaurant where they were, and it was Epstein, Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and about three or four other people ... and they all stood up while they were having dinner and shook my hand,” she continues. “Bill Clinton actually held on to my hand for a very long time; it was very weird.”
The next day, Bryant was invited to meet Epstein again to discuss modeling opportunities.
“They looked at my modeling portfolio ... and Bill Clinton walked past and witnessed the whole modeling casting, and then Epstein looked at my modeling portfolio and said he thought I'd be perfect for Victoria's Secret and he wanted to bring me over,” she tells Alex.
Just three weeks later, after being given a green card, Bryant arrived in New York.
But she didn’t stay in New York exclusively.
“I was taken to all the properties, actually,” she says, including Epstein’s mysterious Zorro Ranch in New Mexico where she claims she met Michael Bay, one of Hollywood’s biggest movie producers.
“Did you ever interact with the queen’s son, Prince Andrew?” Alex asks.
“No, I never met him, but ... Epstein and Maxwell used to speak about their friend Andy,” she says.
“Did [Bill Clinton] sleep with any victims that you know of?”
“I didn't see him doing that, but I'm sure he'd be more clever about it and not let people see it” is Bryant’s answer.
To hear Bryant’s response to a clip of Kevin Spacey telling Piers Morgan that he didn’t really know Jeffery Epstein, never asked anything of Jeffery Epstein, and didn’t want to be around Jeffery Epstein, watch the clip below.

Top model jumped to her death 2 years after flying on Jeffrey Epstein's Lolita Express to visit 'Pedophile Island'
A top model known as the "Russian Rapunzel" jumped to death two years after being one of the teen girls flown to Jeffrey Epstein's private island, according to newly unsealed court documents.
Ruslana Korshunova was an up-and-coming model in the mid-2000s – who appeared in ads for Marc Jacobs, DKNY, and Vera Wang. Korshunova was the face of Nina Ricci perfume and was featured on the covers of French Elle and Russian Vogue. She worked with the elite modeling agency IMG – which features top models Heidi Klum and Kate Moss.
However, Korshunova was also involved with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, according to recently unsealed court docs.
At age 18, Korshunova flew on Epstein's private aircraft known as the Lolita Express on June 7, 2006, flight logs show. Also on the flight was Epstein; his bodyguard, Igor Zinoviev; his personal chef, Lance Calloway; his longtime assistant, Sarah Kellen; a woman; and an unidentified former UFC fighter.
The private jet transported Korshunova to Epstein's private island – Little St. James in the Caribbean.
The next month, Epstein would be arrested by the Palm Beach Police Department on felony charges of procuring a minor for prostitution and solicitation of a prostitute.
Korshunova – born in Almaty, Kazakhstan – would commit suicide two years after visiting the so-called "Pedophile Island."
In June 2008, a 20-year-old Korshunova leaped to her death in New York City.
She reportedly cut a hole in construction mesh covering the ninth-floor balcony of her apartment at Water Street in the Financial District of Manhattan. The top model then killed herself by jumping off the balcony.
Her ex-boyfriend told the New York Post at the time that Korshunova kept her problems "bottled up."
"I think she just gave up,” said Artem Perchenok. "When a job would go bad, she’d take it out on herself."
Perchenok said Korshunova told her manager that "she didn’t know what to do with her life."
The boyfriend said that Korshunova had lost a lot of weight in the month before her death.
Two months before her death, the model wrote on social media, "I'm so lost. Will I ever find myself?"
Korshunova was also allegedly a member of the Rose of the World group – a controversial "self-help" organization that is often described as a "cult."
The Sydney Morning Herald reported in 2014, "The Rose of the World was a group founded in the U.S. in the 1970s but was closed in the 1980s. It still has several branches operating around the world, including Russia. Members pay about $1,200 for a three-day course to undergo 'dehumanizing' treatments. Training sessions reportedly involve coaches asking participants to share their worst experiences and encourage them to take the blame for all the negative aspects of their lives."
Journalist Peter Pomerantsev claims Korshunova and her friend – fellow Russian model Anastasia Drozdova – became members of the Rose of the World group. Both models would go on to kill themselves.
Drozdova also leaped to her death from the top of an apartment building in Kyiv in 2009.

‘Clinton Likes Them Young’: Unsealed Deposition Of Epstein Victim Names 42nd President
Clinton wasn’t the only one who eagerly took advantage of Epstein’s offer to revel in his wealth and maybe even his girls.Epstein flight logs SUBPOENAED, but what are the chances we actually see who’s on the list?
It’s been over three years since Jeffrey Epstein died in jail, and yet we still don’t know the contents of the infamous flight logs from his private jet, controversially named the “Lolita Express.”
Naturally, people want to know who flew on that plane, as it would likely lead to incriminating evidence attached to any number of politicians, billionaires, socialites, and celebrities.
But alas, the list remains under lock and key.
However, that could change, as Tennessee Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn filed a subpoena just a few days ago “demanding that Congress gain access to [Epstein’s] flight logs from his private plane,” reports Sara Gonzales.
“Since we're in the business of issuing subpoenas now, here are a few more that I filed: a subpoena to Jeffrey Epstein's estate to provide the flight logs for his private plane. Given the numerous allegations of human trafficking and sexual abuse surrounding Mr. Epstein, I think it is very important that we identify everybody that was on that plane and how many trips they took on that plane and the destinations to which they arrived,” Blackburn stated.
“I completely agree,” says Sara, but “I don't think we will ever see those names – ever, ever, ever.”
Blaze contributor and founder/owner of Rippaverse Comics Eric July agrees, adding, “It incriminates the wrong people.”
While there are likely many people on that list who perhaps are being protected, one person the current administration and the mainstream media would love to sabotage is Donald Trump, who is said to have flown on Epstein’s plane several times.
“They always want to tie Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein first,” says Sara.
“Okay, you know who also banned him from Mar-a-Lago and from staying in any of his properties?” she continues. “Donald Trump after he found out that Jeffery Epstein had done the things that he had done.”
