An observation about one of the Epstein victims who has spoken out. [View all]
I watched a podcast last night with Lisa Phillips. She was being interviewed on a podcast that is not the one that she hosts. Ms. Phillips is the one who at the press conference a couple of months ago stood at the podium and said the victims were going to compile their own list.
In this particular interview, she was asked about that. She tried to backtrack and say she didn't say that the victims were compiling a list. Ms. Phillips said that it was about reclaiming her power and that people just took the comment to mean that victims would be compiling a list. The host emphatically stated that she (herself) was "one of those people" who took the comment to mean that victims would be compiling a list. It was VERY clear when Ms. Phillips made the comment at the press conference. There was no mistaking the words used.
It felt like Ms. Phillips is now back peddling. And I am not here to pass judgment on these women. They have been through horrors that most of us can never understand. But it made me sense that someone has gotten to her or something has happened to her of late, and I'm just hoping that these women do not lose their incentive to speak out and see this case through. I sincerely hope that the attorneys handling the cases for these women are providing them with the means to feel safe.
