Jeffrey Epstein's Hollywood Ties and 'Bones' Producer Barry Josephson Under Scrutiny
Jeffrey Epstein's connections to Hollywood have come under renewed scrutiny following the release of records showing his long-standing relationship with 'Bones' executive producer Barry Josephson. Epstein, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to child prostitution and served time before his death in 2019, maintained a close friendship with Josephson, a prominent film and TV producer. Records reveal Epstein and Josephson exchanged emails as recently as 2018, just a year before Epstein died in prison. Epstein lent Josephson over $330,000 for personal and tax-related expenses, and the two discussed arranging set visits and auditions for young women in Epstein's circle. Epstein also sought to influence casting choices on Josephson’s show 'Bones,' urging him to cast women he knew. Despite this, Josephson claimed he knew nothing about Epstein's criminal activities, apologizing for crude emails and stating he believed Epstein's denials of wrongdoing. He acknowledged that his belief was naive and expressed regret for his past associations, emphasizing that he never traveled with Epstein or visited his island. The revelations have sparked controversy, with critics questioning Josephson's claims and highlighting the extent of Epstein's influence in Hollywood circles.
