Epstein Files DEEP DIVE: The DISGUSTING Lives of Billionaires

Hysteria | March 18, 2026



Erin Ryan and guest host Akilah Hughes lock in and dive deep into the latest Epstein Files dump, following threads between fertility, finances, 4Chan, the FBI, and more. Then they discuss how upcoming entertainment events like the Super Bowl, the Olympics, and the Oscars put athletes and performers in a position they didn’t ask for– but also provide an opportunity that shouldn’t be missed. They wrap up with a petty conversation about Ballerina Farm and the danger of unlearning things we learned more than 100 years ago.

    9:36 I don’t have kids, but if I had two girls, I think that “assume all men are predators until they’ve proven otherwise,” would be my advice to them, and I hope someday is.

    I’ve done sex work, lol. Every jaded and cynical person I know would, I think, give that advice, and we didn’t get jaded and cynical by happenstance.

    Even all the language of the manosphere and all the media promoting men all hinges on literal apex-predator metaphors, and there’s only one reason they would resonate so universally and deeply.

    So having dated a rich guy
    They are all so sterile and boring
    Giggling about their investment portfolios All. Day. Long.
    Their “friends” and “friendships” are what most of us would just call at best FWB
    Never the closeness, they are always doing favors for each other lest the other get their social image ruined
    Always name drop. Brand loyalty.
    As long as the parameters are met all is good.
    As long as you behave accordingly you are good
    They don’t do heart to heart.
    So Elon and Trump are actually friends
    In the rich guy way…….

    They do not really know how intimacy works……like this rich guy had other women I started to find out
    But he was careful enough to not get anyone pregnant outside wedlock……..Because of his INHERITANCE
    He always gave me money for stuff
    Just not love

    I’m going to be honest, my baseline with EVERYONE is to assume they don’t have good intentions until they prove otherwise 😂 I don’t mistreat them or go out of my way to be nasty, but I do it all from a very massive distance. I operate that way not because I believe people are evil, but because we’ve seen that EVERYONE has a price and almost everyone will go against their core morals, in return for something they deem out of their reach and priceless.

    I have to say “allegedly,” so I don’t get sued. So, allegedly, the victims conveyed the following information. We need the FBI 302 Documents released. Those are from the interviews with the victims by the FBI agents. (I’m sure that’s professional. It’s before Kash Patel.)

    Erin, I thought that was very wise of you to catch the doctor thing!

    Epstein DID have a penis shaped like an egg, according to a few of his victims.

    Secondly, all of the money is real. He had his entire house (all of them) wired for sound and video, inside and out. (The island house was wired with cameras that sensed heat, outside.) Every bathroom and bedroom had at least one hidden camera. (Some weren’t hidden.) He would blackmail billionaires who he had on tape abusing young young girls. A few of the men were real sadists, too. The Israeli Prime Minister, Ahud Barack, had been on the plane 36 times. A victim woke up on her stomach on the massage table, legs on Barack’s shoulders and he violently bit her enough to make her bleed!
    Leon Black was another sadist. HE gave Epstein $160 million dollars. Epstein was really mean to Leo Black, too. He treated him like dirt (which he deserves.)

    In 1991, Leslie “Les” Wexner, “The Limited” and “Victoria Secret” owner, gave Epstein complete power of attorney to his entire HUMONGOUS fortune. Epstein lived off of A LOT of Wexner’s money. He did this shortly after meeting him, too, AND after being warned by his own financial advisor!
    ________

    Something else I’m not sure you guys caught is, I believe they were impregnating and trying to impregnate those young girls. One victim said she was unconscious and woke up in stirrups with a female doctor harvesting her eggs!

    I’ve heard these abusers are VICIOUS. They make some women and girls “breeders.” It’s horrific to think about. They take the babies away and they live a life of trafficking, too. It’s a pretty sick world. I think you guys are right with the theory of “all these men (and a few women Sarah Kellen, Ghislaine Maxwell, the receptionists, assistants, other victims who brought other girls in, etc.,) knew what was going on. They had orgies.

    It’s all really painful. My heart breaks for each of those girls. I see how confusing this was for them.

    As far as Peter Attia goes, I took notes on him and he wrote crude, lewd emails with Epstein like, “I’ve got a fresh shipment,” and it had a redacted picture. Another time he told Epstein, “You know the biggest problem with being friends with you?” “The life you lead is so outrageous and I can’t tell a soul.” The public dropped him when he groveled about his emails getting out (vs. having any remorse.)

    Last morsel of goods (or bads) Roger Stone was found f*cking a young male who was crying outside in a shed. Apparently, he has a Richard Nixon tattoo on his back.

    Anyway, these people are monsters. The bad thing is, they can be in a mansion like Mar-a-Lago, and they can be in a trailer park in Oklahoma. The only difference is the pedophile in the trailer goes to jail. However, we can take the power back and make them all pay. There is definitely enough evidence.

    Oh yeah, for disappearing pages, go to this website:

    Epsteinjustice.com

    There’s an amazing gentleman that’s been working on this case for over 11 years. His name is Nick Bryant. (He’s a reporter who fights for victims now.) He had Epstein’s “Black Book” and he printed the transcripts from the grand jury trial.

    I think you’re also super wise putting the sex trade and the modeling industry together. You’re totally onto something and I’m 58 years old. I wasn’t able to put that together when I was younger. NOW, I think you’re 100% correct on that. It’s the reason women need to be themselves and do what they want, other than following what some magazine is telling them.
    If I had daughters, I thought about it like this…What do I wish MY mother had told me when I was growing up?

    Personally, she could of and should have told me a lot more about men. (I’m a victim.) One out of four women are. They get boys and young men, too.

    Anyway, I’m excited listening to you, because I think things can FINALLY change for our girls and our young women. Things will be even better for them. Growth as women…evolution. It makes me happy.

    Take care. I LOVE your show!❤

    I have to say allegedly (so I don’t get sued.). We need to fairly see these men in court. Innocent until proven guilty. (That’s our wonderful system.). I want video that can’t be argued against. Then , wipe our hands of them. Goodbye.
    _______

    I meant that I know exactly what you mean about the equal sign. It’s there, and it IS a 19 year old. I’m just saying Epstein ALSO victimized literal 8 and 9 year old baby girls.

    That’s the mind blowing sadness of it all. How could they? 💭sick

    The money element is so critical to the shame the women feel too. I think beyond the justice we should seek against the perpetrators a far greater thing we can do as a society is to recreate support for families and women. Why did a woman need £600 for an adobe course? Why couldn't that have been offered to her free of charge or to pay back once she secured a job if it meant being safe from this kind of life and these people. (That's just an example, don't get distracted by adobe or the sum of money 😂).

    Not surprised by all the thin skinned room temperature IQ men crying “not all men”😢😢😢😢. Just because not all men are bad doesn’t mean women and girls shouldn’t demand that trust should be earned. If you think otherwise then you care more about your frail male ego than the safety and peace of mind of half the population.
