Bill Gates reportedly revealed the names of three women he had affairs with while speaking to the House Oversight Committee earlier this month. Although there are no major accusations against Gates, the 70-year-old testified about his past connections with the disgraced Jeffrey Epstein. Not only that, the Microsoft co-founder has repeatedly apologized for his past ties to Epstein in a now bombshell testimony.
Bill Gates reveals names of women he had affairs with during marriage
Bill Gates shared names of women he had relations with while still being married to former wife Melinda French Gates. Notably, he spoke about it during a recent closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee. Gates met with the committee on June 10 on Capitol Hill as part of an investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The Microsoft co-founder identified the three women as bridge player Mila Antonova and nuclear scientist Karima Nigmatulina. The third woman mentioned is Alice Jacobs Nesselrodt, a doctor (via PEOPLE).
Gates reportedly began interacting with Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 to garner support for his global health philanthropy. Their relationship reportedly ended three years later in 2014. Although the 70-year-old has not been accused of any wrongdoing, he came forward and willingly answered questions before House representatives.
As per the testimony, Gates shared: “It was after this that I learned Epstein had become aware of sensitive information about my personal life, including the fact that I had been unfaithful in my marriage. These affairs had nothing to do with my interactions with Epstein, but they were painful for my family.”
The tech entrepreneur previously confirmed his two extra-marital affairs with Russian women while still being married. Gates said a longtime employee introduced him to Epstein and may have shared details of his personal life with the convicted sex offender.
Furthermore, Gates alleged that Epstein knew of the entrepreneur’s infidelity and used that to “pressure” him to reconnect with him. Gates also admitted that he regretted even meeting the disgraced financier in the first place.
The Microsoft co-founder shared: “He was unsuccessful in this effort, but it shows some of the ways he tried to leverage his interactions with me to further his agenda. I should never have met with Epstein in the first place.”
