Journalist and writer Carole Radziwill shared her thoughts about Ghislaine Maxwell in a recent interview piece published by The New York Times on March 26. According to The New York Post, Radziwill’s name resurfaced in the Epstein files. She also had friendly ties with Maxwell at one point. Remembering her, Radziwill said during the interview:“Imagine knowing someone and even being friendly with them and then they turn out to be, like, a monster.”She mentioned that Maxwell also introduced her to former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. She had also been to a few parties hosted by Maxwell. However, Radziwill confessed that she did not know Jeffrey Epstein. About Maxwell, she said:“I was friends with her in the early 2000s, I don’t know, like, for five or six years.”Carole Radziwill went on to say:“The thing about her that made it easy for me to spend any time with her at all was that she was very intelligent, she was educated. If you lined up 10 women and you asked, like, pick the woman who would be involved in an international s*x trafficking ring, it would not be her.”Radziwill also added that she was shocked to learn about Ghislaine Maxwell’s alleged deeds. Meanwhile, Carole Radziwill mentioned that her mother-in-law knew that being a public face came with a lot of misunderstandings. She added that although she was not fine with it initially, she eventually came to terms with it.
