Famous Singer Reveals Split from Producer Linked to Epstein Documents

Singer Brooke Josephson has revealed her decision to end her marriage following the mention of her husband in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Newly unveiled documents show that film producer Barry Josephson was in regular contact with the convicted sex offender, discussing topics such as women and financial matters.

Among the exchanges was a 2011 email where the 69-year-old Josephson wrote to Epstein, stating, “I have ‘the’ girl,” and described her as “young, attractive, insane rack.”

In the same email, Josephson depicted the woman as “smart, although not a genius, but very efficient, will do anything, and tight-lipped period end of story,” according to the documents released by the Department of Justice last month.

This past Saturday, Brooke, aged 46, announced her intention to divorce Josephson, who is known for his role as executive producer of the TV show Bones. The pair, who share two children, had already separated by December 2024. Los Angeles court records indicate that Barry was the one who initially filed for divorce at that time.

Brooke announced the news on Instagram, saying she was ‘prepared to share a personal update … in light of recent events in the news this week’. She added that she ‘was not aware of Barry’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein during [their] entire marriage.’

The Daily Mail has reached out to both parties for further comment on the story. 

The exchanges came years after Epstein pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18 in 2008.

In a February 2013 email, Josephson told Epstein: ‘Casting girls for my pilot on Monday if he wants to stop by my office :).’

When Epstein, in vain, requested that specific women be cast in shows Josephson produced, according to the DoJ documents, Josephson told Epstein he would ‘do anything to make amends’ when he was unable to use his clout to make it happen. 

‘The whole auditioning process is brutal, it’s harsh, it’s filled with disappointment,’ Josephson explained to Epstein, noting it was even a difficult task to get his then-spouse, Brooke, a small role on Bones in 2007. 

Josephson also borrowed $120,000 from Epstein in 2011 and $215,000 in 2013, both of which were repaid, according to the documents.

After evening out the second loan, Josephson told Epstein in an email: ‘I am overwhelmed by your friendship.’

Brooke said: ‘I respectfully request privacy and prayers for our children and I during this time’

Brooke, who married Josephson in 2007, added in her Instagram post on Saturday: ‘I respectfully request privacy and prayers for our children and I during this time.’

She concluded the message by thanking ‘all who have shown compassion and respect’ amid the turbulent time.

Josephson told Variety earlier this month of Epstein: ‘I knew nothing about him. You learn more and you distance yourself completely.’ 

The film producer was contrite in a statement he issued to the outlet about his correspondence with Epstein, who was found dead in his jail cell in 2019.

Josephson said: ‘There’s no excuse for what I said in some of my emails. The language was crude and juvenile, and I’m ashamed.’

He said, ‘While I did attend social events with Epstein, and he did visit my sets twice, I never traveled with him on his plane, visited his island, or saw him in the company of minors.’

Josephson continued, ‘In my 47 years working in the entertainment industry, I’ve encountered thousands of people.

‘My biggest regret, bar none, is that I foolishly believed his denials of wrongdoing.’

Josephson said that he was ‘blinded’ by Epstein’s ‘circle of acquaintances from varied industries’, which led him to misread the situation.

He ended his statement to the outlet by saying, ‘I apologize to all who were hurt by this clearly terrible and depraved individual.’

It comes as Ghislaine Maxwell today refused to answer questions over Epstein unless she received clemency from President Trump.

Maxwell pleaded the Fifth when she appeared virtually before lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee at a closed-door hearing on Capitol Hill. 

She was deposed as part of the bipartisan congressional investigation into the Justice Department’s prosecution and handling of the Epstein case.

Maxwell, 64, is serving a 20-year prison sentence in Texas after she was convicted of trafficking young girls to Epstein in 2021. The Daily Mail reached out to the White House for comment.
