The favourite child of the crooked newspaper tycoon ‘Bouncing Bob’ Maxwell, New York based Ghislaine Maxwell has been described as “smart, funny, beaut[iful], kind and sarcastic” by a licensed massage therapist turned Palm Beach real estate broker named Alison Chambers. A qualified deep sea driver, private helicopter pilot and emergency medical technician, Marlborough and Oxford educated Maxwell had a yacht named in her honour but is now best known for her friendship with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In January 2015, Ross Gow, her spokesman, announced that she “reserves her right to seek redress at the repetition of claims” that she acted as a “madame” on behalf of her billionaire chum. Maxwell speaks four languages and claims to want to “dedicate the rest of [her] life to the ocean” through her TerraMar Project non-profit organisation.
Two stories to keep beside you
Dr. Elisabeth Maxwell (better known as Betty Maxwell, 1921 – 2013)
Her “fat fraudster” husband called this French Hugenot Protestant “the keeper of my Jewish soul”. Of her life with him, she wrote an autobiography titled A Mind of My Own: My Life With Robert Maxwell and in it described him “as bullying, unfaithful and frequently absent as he amassed his empire”. This mother of nine […]

What irony that she is devoted to the ocean given it is the very place that claimed her bastard thief father.
It is appalling that you feature this woman when she has not supported the Find Madeleine campaign. Saving the oceans sounds all very well but it is far more important to save children and most especially locate poor dear Gerry and Kate McCann’s beloved daughter Madeleine. Ghislaine Maxwell could redeem herself if she gave a substantial donation to Find Madeleine.
Bad blood…to be avoided at all costs…..
I see that Ian and Kevin have now been just banned as company directors…missing dosh
The correct fact is. Kevin was banned in 2011. Not Ian.
I stand corrected. Ian is a nice guy…though he looks like his father has none of the guile
A modern day Irma La Douche, I would rather take a rain check………….
Why does everybody gang up on Ghislane. What has she done to anyone of you opinionated people. And now another febrile accusation that she doesn’t contribute to find Madelane fund. Who are you people?
I’ll have you all know that I had the privilege to have made her aquaintance in New York, and she was very chic, we spoke in beautiful Spanish and French and she made me very welcome. She entertains a lot( dinner parties) and is a superb hostess. She is not a ‘Madam’ or anything near that. Her friendship with Mr Epstein goes way back and as a fine lady, she doesn’t give up on her Friends that easily. Even if she get smeared in the process.
Look back at the Duke of York affair, that too smeared her reputation. It is her fault that she is the daughter of a dishonest businessman, it is her fault that men behave like men and she is in the middle, with lots of men, she is no push over, that is another thing for which you’ll all be willing to kill her for. But if she’s a woman with all those super skill, would you rather she’d be at home looking after the kids? Fools! Learn about life before you go stoning a marvelous lady out of sheer ENVY. She is not responsible for anything that her friends do. And I will always defend her against this malicious smears. Untruth, & uncouth.

Do you condone what Jeffrey Epstein did too given he’s allegedly a very generous host? Given Miss Maxwell has also been bankrolled by this paedophile to the tune of very significant sums of money, what’s your view on that?

You sound most odd….I feel hurt, as an Englishman, reading my language so brutalised. The fact that she spoke ‘beautiful French’ may be attributed to the fact her mother was French.
I worked for her father and, whether you like or not, she was well aware of her father’s criminality: criminality which destroyed the lives of hardworking people. But then you probably have little sympathy or interest in such people as they don’t ‘entertain a lot or fail to be ” superb hostesses”.
You might also consider why she has never offered the £80,000 a year ‘pension’ her crooked father organised for her to those he swindled.
She has the morals of her father. And you, well you just sound thick and wet.
Whoops. Care to take any of that back???
A little bit of investigating will throw her in the Nick for for a nice few years.
The TerraMar project, run by the Elder Richard Branson! Dodgy! very Dodgy. Something fishy going on here?!
Something fishy? maybe due to a innocent yeast infection, perhaps Jeff “Bunny” Epstein knows the host and source too…..
Ghislaine Maxwell certainly attracts a following.
You people disgust me. Ghislaine is an innocent lady and one of grace, class and dignity. She has done wonderful heroic things for the oceans and is a social delight.
Hahah oh wow. You’re either in on it or a total fool….
Dear Mr Connor
On behalf of all of us oceans I would like to thank you for your interest in us. You are right: Miss Maxwell often swims around our homes following a notable family tradition. We just wish she could spend more time heroically looking after us rather than wasting time leading Prince Andrew astray with all those little mermaids…..
Glen Connor- Have you discovered Neverland yet, even Boris Johnson is still searching…………….
A proper little daddy’s girl. She ought to be sent to The Tower for what she’s done to Prince Andrew.
Prince Andrew ought to marry Ghislaine….they would make a fine couple of tossers
Prince Andrew made his own bed a long time ago, stop the blame culture.
She will go to hell if what is alleged is true. If not this woman deserves justice too. It is not her fault that she is the daughter of Robert Maxwell.
