“Bill Gates CONFESSES: Affairs with Russian Bridge Player & Nuclear Physicist – Epstein Knew EVERYTHING! “
In a stunning and highly publicized moment amid the ongoing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates addressed employees at the Gates Foundation in a virtual town hall meeting in early February 2026. During the session, Gates openly admitted to having extramarital affairs with two Russian women while he was still married to his ex-wife, Melinda French Gates. This admission came in the wake of newly released documents from Epstein’s vast archive—over 3 million pages unsealed by the U.S. Justice Department in January 2026—which have reignited scrutiny over Gates’ past association with the convicted sex offender.The two women involved in the affairs were described by Gates himself: one was a professional bridge player whom he met through competitive bridge events, a hobby Gates has long been passionate about. The other was a nuclear physicist encountered through professional and business-related activities, possibly tied to his work in global health, energy innovation, or philanthropy. Gates emphasized that these relationships occurred during his marriage but denied any involvement in Epstein’s criminal activities, calling his time spent with the financier a “huge mistake” and expressing regret for “every minute” he associated with him. He also apologized to the foundation’s staff for the distraction and any unintended implications on their work, stating, “I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made.”
The Epstein connection adds a layer of controversy to the revelations. According to the released files, Epstein was aware of Gates’ affairs and claimed in unsent draft emails—written in a journal-like style to himself or possibly intended for others—to have played a role in facilitating them. One particularly explosive draft from July 2013, addressed in the style of a message from Epstein’s associate Boris Nikolic (a biotech investor and former Gates advisor), alleged that Epstein helped Gates “get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls.” The email further claimed Gates sought antibiotics to treat a sexually transmitted infection (STI) stemming from these encounters and even discussed surreptitiously providing the medication to Melinda without her knowledge. It described Epstein’s purported assistance ranging from “facilitating his illicit trysts with married women” to providing Adderall for bridge tournaments, and included bizarre, unsubstantiated details about Gates’ personal life.These claims paint a picture of Epstein positioning himself as a fixer in Gates’ personal affairs, potentially for leverage or influence. However, Gates and his representatives have vehemently denied the allegations, labeling them “absolutely absurd and completely false” and attributing them to Epstein’s known pattern of lying and manipulation. A spokesperson for Gates reiterated that Epstein was a “proven, disgruntled liar” whose drafts were likely never sent and held no basis in reality. Fact-checkers and legal experts note that while Epstein’s files mention Gates hundreds of times—often in the context of social meetings, philanthropy discussions, or Epstein’s attempts to ingratiate himself with powerful figures—there is no concrete evidence tying Gates to Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring or any illegal activities. Gates has previously stated in interviews, such as a 2021 CNN appearance, that his interactions with Epstein were limited to fundraising for global health initiatives and that he “saw nothing illicit.”
The timing of these disclosures has also shed new light on the 2021 divorce of Bill and Melinda Gates after 27 years of marriage. Melinda French Gates, now focused on her own philanthropic efforts through Pivotal Ventures, reacted to the latest Epstein files in a statement to NPR on February 3, 2026. She expressed that Bill should address the allegations himself, saying, “They need to answer to those things, not me.” Sources close to the couple have long suggested that Melinda’s discomfort with Gates’ Epstein ties was a significant factor in their split. Reports from 2021 indicated she had hired private investigators and consulted divorce lawyers as early as 2019, around the time Epstein’s arrest brought renewed attention to Gates’ meetings with him (which totaled at least a half-dozen between 2011 and 2014). Melinda has publicly stated that the marriage was “irretrievably broken,” and the Epstein association, combined with Gates’ admitted affairs, appears to have been a breaking point. In hindsight, many observers now believe Melinda “always knew something was wrong,” as the user’s original text suggests, pointing to underlying trust issues exacerbated by these revelations.This scandal has broader implications for Gates’ public image and legacy. Once hailed as a tech visionary and global health hero through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—which has donated billions to combat diseases like malaria and polio—Gates now faces renewed questions about his personal conduct. The foundation’s employees, numbering over 1,700, were reportedly stunned by the town hall admissions, with some internal memos leaked to media outlets expressing concerns about reputational damage. Gates assured them that he had “done nothing illicit” and emphasized his commitment to the organization’s mission, but the episode has fueled social media frenzy, conspiracy theories, and calls for further transparency.
Experts in ethics and corporate governance, such as those from the Harvard Business Review, have weighed in, noting that while extramarital affairs are personal matters, the entanglement with Epstein raises ethical red flags about judgment and associations. The Justice Department’s ongoing release of Epstein’s files—part of a larger effort to provide closure to victims and expose networks—continues to name-drop high-profile figures like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and others, but Gates’ mentions stand out due to the detailed, albeit unverified, personal claims.In summary, while Gates has owned up to the affairs and his regrettable Epstein ties, he maintains the draft emails’ wilder accusations are fabrications. For Melinda, this chapter likely confirms long-held suspicions, offering a clearer explanation for her decision to end the marriage. As more Epstein documents emerge, the full story may yet unfold, but for now, it serves as a cautionary tale about the perils of proximity to scandalous figures in positions of power.
