We finally have voices. No more silence. No more 'good old boys club.'
Back in the 90s, Dutch supermodel Karen Mulder blew the whistle on Epstein’s network—long before anyone listened. They locked her in an asylum, wrecked her career, tried to bury her.
23 years later? She’s vindicated.
I didn’t know till now. And it hits hard—because I know this story too.
Assaulted by acting teachers and VP’s at 16-24, told to shut up by agents who protected Les Moonves instead. ‘He’ll ruin you,’ they said. ‘We rep his wife.’
Same sleaze: Harvey Weinstein, Brett Ratner, Epstein’s whole gray-haired pack. They preyed on girls who just wanted a shot—then shipped so many back to Ohio like trash.
How many Audrey’s and Marilyn’s did we miss out on? That’s what I think about. All these beautiful, young talented girls who came here for a dream, but it turned into a nightmare.
Me Too cracked the door. Epstein cracked the lid. Social media? That’s our hammer.
We finally have voices. No more silence. No more ‘good old boys club.’
Karen started it—she paid the price. Today we finish it. Thank you, Karen. And thank you, everyone who still speaks.”

This poor woman is still alive. Can you imagine what she's going through now? How alone she was for so long because nobody believed her?
Rest in peace, Virginia.
And Gabriela Rico Jimenez, my mind boggles in horror. So many victims. So much evil!

The people in them are currently running the world and ran for office to protect themselves. There's layers of people who need to be fired before we get to the truth.
