Naomi Campbell, Epstein's good friend, will reap what she has coming

Yes. I know. It's the DailyMail, but this is a good article. The Daily Mail employees have a personal stake in this because Ghislaine Maxwell's father, past owner of the Daily Mail, stole their pensions when he stole over £400 million from his companies' pension fund. (I stand corrected. Thank you Muriel_volestrangler and Malaise)

Who were the 'two playmates' Ghislaine offered to Naomi Campbell - and why did the supermodel stay so close to Epstein after he was jailed?

The friendship between Epstein and Campbell – who has in her time notched up four convictions for physical assault – is traceable throughout the files released by the US Department of Justice last week and statements previously given by others, including Virginia Giuffre and his housekeepers on Little St James, his Caribbean island now known as ‘Paedo Island’.

Meanwhile, Epstein is seen sympathising with Naomi when she has to appear before the war crimes trial of Liberian warlord Charles Taylor, also in 2010. Highly embarrassingly, Naomi has to admit to the court in The Hague that she took possession of a paper bag full of ‘blood diamonds’ from the dictator after they had dinner together.

‘Well she did look good on the stand,’ Epstein tells Doronin, adding: ‘I know how unpleasant it was.’

In an interview in November that year with The Guardian, she was positively combative about her links to him. ‘I’ve met thousands of people at events and been photographed with them – there are pictures of me with everyone,’ she said. ‘Are you going to single me out, when there are hundreds of people pictured with the same people, who you don’t care to mention? Do me a ****ing favour. I won’t sit there and roll over and take that s***.’

1. No, Maxwell never owned the Mail. He owned the Mirror.

The Mail has always been owned by the Harmsworth family, holder of the "Viscount Rothermere" peerage, and occasional fascists.

In October 1922, the Daily Mail approved of the Fascist "March on Rome", arguing that democracy had failed in Italy, thus requiring Benito Mussolini to set up his Fascist dictatorship to save the social order.[16] In May 1923, Rothermere published a leader in The Daily Mail entitled "What Europe Owes Mussolini", where he wrote about his "profound admiration" for Mussolini: "in saving Italy he stopped the inroads of Bolshevism which would have left Europe in ruins...in my judgment he saved the entire Western world. It was because Mussolini overthrew Bolshevism in Italy that it collapsed in Hungary and ceased to gain adherents in Bavaria and Prussia".[21] In the summer of 1923, the Daily Mail supported the Italian occupation of Corfu and condemned the British government for at least rhetorically opposing the Italian aggression against Greece.[22] On 25 October 1924 the Daily Mail published the Zinoviev letter on its front page, and the newspaper campaigned vigorously against the Labour government of Ramsay MacDonald as being weak against Communism.[23] The Zinoviev letter had been written not in Moscow, but rather in Berlin by Vladimir Gregorivitch Orlov, a Russian émigré who specialised in forgeries designed to provoke distrust and fear of the Soviet Union.[24] The letter had been leaked to the Daily Mail by MI6, and vouched for by the Foreign Office; it remains unclear whether MI6 was aware that the Zinoviev letter was a forgery or not. Rothermere seems to have believed in its authenticity; for him, it confirmed all of his fears about the Labour Party.[25] After the 1924 election, Rothermere boasted in a letter to Beaverbrook that the Zinoviev letter had cost Labour about 100 seats and been decisive in giving the Conservatives a majority.[26]
...
Rothermere in a leader conceded that Fascist methods were "not suited to a country like our own", but qualified his remark with the statement, "if our northern cities became Bolshevik we would need them".[32] In a Daily Mail article in October 1927 that celebrated five years of Fascism in Italy, it was argued that there were parallels between modern Britain and Italy in the last years of the Liberal era as it was argued Italy went through a series of weak liberal and conservative governments that made concessions to the Italian Socialist Party such as granting universal male suffrage in 1912 whose "only result was to hasten the arrival of disorder".[32] In the same article, Baldwin was compared to the Italian prime ministers of the Liberal era as the article argued that the general strike of 1926 should never have been allowed to occur and the Baldwin government was condemned "for the feebleness which it tries to placate opposition by being more Socialist than the Socialists".[32] The clear implication of the article was that concessions to socialists whatever in Italy or the United Kingdom only caused chaos, and Britain needed a leader like Mussolini who would presumably ban the Labour Party, just as Mussolini had banned the Italian Socialist Party. In 1928, the Daily Mail in a leader written by Rothermere praised Mussolini as "the great figure of the age. Mussolini will probably dominate the history of the twentieth century as Napoleon dominated the early nineteen century".[33]
...
For a time in 1934 the Rothermere papers championed the British Union of Fascists (BUF), and were again the only major papers to do so. On 15 January 1934 the Daily Mail published a Rothermere-written editorial entitled "Hurrah for the Blackshirts", praising Oswald Mosley for his "sound, commonsense, Conservative doctrine".[90] Rothermere's support for the BUF was a gambit to push the Conservative Party further to the right.[91] The Daily Mail's coverage of the BUF tended to focus on issues that Rothermere about cared the most such as holding together the British Empire, especially in regard to India.[91] For an example, when William Joyce gave a speech at a BUF rally in Nottingham in 1934, the Daily Mail devoted most of its coverage of the rally to Joyce's condemnation of a recently released White Paper relating to the Government of India Act, which proposing giving more power to the Indians, as weakening the Raj.[91] The implication of the article in The Daily Mail was that Conservative voters were switching their loyalty from the Conservative-dominated National Government to the BUF because of the Government of India White Paper. By contrast, Action, the newspaper of the BUF, in its coverage of the same speech by Joyce gave devoted most of its attention to his condemnation of democracy and praise for Nazism.[91]

In the 'gossip' world for quite a long time. And now - she has her own little girl she adopted not too long ago.

Someone needs to save that toddler.

8. She's awful. I didn't know she has her own island

a gift from her ex boyfriend, Russian billionaire Vladislav Doronin. The custom-built villa, shaped like the Eye of Horus, is something else.
