Carole, known for her role on Real Housewives of New York, found her name briefly surfacing in connection with documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein. Allegedly, she had a past acquaintance with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted accomplice in child sex trafficking back in 2021. Despite these connections, Carole insists she was completely unaware of any illicit activities involving Maxwell and Epstein.
A fan account, @noodleybrains, shared on Reddit their experience of tagging Carole in an Instagram story, questioning why prominent Bravo accounts were silent about her name appearing in the Epstein files. To their surprise, Carole reportedly responded to their post.
In the shared screenshots, Carole is said to have replied, “Imagine thinking you know someone and then discovering they’re a monster. I have no clue who she’s in communication with or what the Tatler piece involves—perhaps they were reviewing my book? I haven’t crossed paths with her in almost 20 years. It’s so eerie. Thank you for informing me. 🙏.”
In screenshots of the DM exchange, Carole allegedly wrote back, “Imagine thinking you know someone and then finding out she’s a monster. I have no idea who she’s writing to or what the tatler piece is, maybe they were reviewing my book? I haven’t seen her in nearly two decades. It’s sooo creepy. Thank you for letting me know. 🙏.”
In a different DM, Carole allegedly added, “Oh you posted it. I thought you were sending it to me. Okay.”
Carole later allegedly wrote, “I feel like some of the Ghislaine stories using my picture are click bait from MAGA upset that I called Trump out as a rapist on rhony in 2017. Which makes all of this even more disgusting by association.”
“I never knew Epstein,” Carole allegedly explained. “[Ghislaine] was living with another bf the whole time I knew her. Ted Waitt. Super rich guy but he seemed cool. I wonder why he isn’t in all her emails. The real powerful men will never be held accountable. It’s so f**ked up.”

Around the same time, Bethenny shared her own reaction to the news.
“[I’ve gotten] so many questions about this,” said Bethenny in an Instagram video. “So what I do know is that Carol has been friendly with many notable women, from Carolyn Bessette to Cassandra Grey, who was married to Brad Grey, a big manager in Hollywood, and she had a big beauty website. Christiane Amanpour.”
“But I do know that Carole has taken many opportunities to swipe at me, dig at me, speak negatively about me [after leaving RHONY],” she added. “She has certainly gone for it. And I’m not going to do the same. So, it’s not my business.”
