BILL GATES BREAKS SILENCE: “That Email Was False” – Denies Shocking STD Allegations in Epstein Files, Regrets “Every Minute” with Disgraced Financier!

Seattle, WA – February 5, 2026 – In a bombshell interview that’s sending shockwaves through the tech world and beyond, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has vehemently denied explosive allegations from newly released Jeffrey Epstein files, calling a draft email claiming he contracted an STD from “Russian girls” and planned to secretly medicate his ex-wife Melinda “absolutely false” and never sent. Speaking exclusively to Australia’s Nine News, Gates expressed deep regret for “every minute” spent with the late sex offender, insisting his interactions were limited and had “nothing to do with that kind of behavior.” As Melinda French Gates weighs in, saying her ex-husband “needs to answer for” his Epstein ties, the scandal is reigniting fierce debates: Is this closure for Gates, or just the tip of a darker iceberg? With the files exposing elite connections, the fallout is exploding—dive into the details that’s got everyone talking!

The drama erupted from a trove of over 3 million pages of Epstein’s personal communications, unsealed by the Department of Justice amid ongoing scrutiny. At the center: A 2013 draft email Epstein allegedly wrote to himself (but never sent), claiming Gates had an affair with Russian women, contracted a sexually transmitted disease, and sought antibiotics to give Melinda without her knowledge. “Jeffrey wrote an email to himself—that email was never sent,” Gates fired back in the interview, labeling the claims “absurd and completely false.” He stressed: “I never went to the island, I never met any women, and so the more that comes out, the more clear it’ll be that although the time was a mistake, it had nothing to do with that kind of behavior.”

Gates didn’t shy from accountability, apologizing repeatedly for his Epstein association: “It just reminds me, you know, every minute I spent with [him] I regret and I, you know, apologize that I did that.” A spokesperson for Gates reiterated to NPR and other outlets: “These claims are absolutely absurd and completely false. The only thing these documents demonstrate is Epstein’s frustration that he did not have an ongoing relationship with Gates and the lengths he would go to entrap and defame.”

Adding fuel to the fire, Melinda French Gates—Bill’s ex-wife—reacted in an NPR Wild Card podcast interview, distancing herself from the scandal: “They need to answer to those things, not me.” Her comments come amid reports that Epstein’s files detail Gates’ multiple meetings with the financier, including dinners where Epstein allegedly pitched ideas to the billionaire. While no criminal charges have been filed against Gates, the revelations have amplified scrutiny on his past regrets, first voiced in 2021 after his divorce from Melinda.

The Epstein saga, with its web of elite ties, continues to haunt: Gates has long admitted the association was a “huge mistake,” but these new docs—flagging “suspicious activity” in Gates-linked accounts (per earlier reports)—have critics demanding more. Social media’s ablaze: #GatesEpstein trending with over 2 million posts, memes mocking the “secret antibiotics” claim, and calls for full transparency. “If it’s false, sue for defamation—why the silence?” one viral tweet demanded.

As the Gates Foundation faces questions about Epstein’s past donations (which Gates has denied influencing), the billionaire’s image takes another hit. But defenders point out: Epstein’s email was unsent and self-authored, potentially a fabrication by the disgraced mogul. “This is Epstein’s lies resurfacing—Gates is the victim here,” a supporter posted.

With the Epstein files still dripping out revelations, the pressure on Gates—and other named elites—shows no sign of easing. Will this denial quell the storm, or fuel more scrutiny? One thing’s clear: In the court of public opinion, the verdict’s still out.

What do you think: Fabricated smear or something more? Sound off in the comments—this scandal’s just heating up!
