The New York society gatekeeper accepted money from Epstein, who enjoyed access to her parties, as former employees come forward with more details about their interactions.
As a curator of events and conduit to bold-faced names, Peggy Siegal has become a fixture of both the New York media scene and Hollywood’s awards season. But her longtime association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is generating fresh scrutiny after his July 8 arrest on charges of sex trafficking and trafficking a minor. On July 18, Epstein was denied bail, with a judge refusing to allow the high-flying financier to await trial at his Manhattan mansion.
“The culture before #MeToo was — ‘You’ve done your time, now you’re forgiven,’” she contended, asserting that he was a low-key presence at her screenings, showing up last-minute, seating himself in the back and skipping after-parties. Siegal added: “He said he’d served his time and assured me that he changed his ways.”, Siegal stressed her belief that it “just wasn’t common knowledge” that Epstein had molested children prior to’s reporting late last year.
Siegal is known for her “list,” a series of bifurcated rosters segmenting key tastemakers in various categories, both voting members of the Academy as well as, primarily, New York society types she deems suitably influential — Hamptonites, the downtown crowd, media figures, etc. Her job is to curate and wrangle a certain group for her studio clients, which is subject to their approval.
Epstein, often described as private and rarely photographed, publicly resurfaced on Siegal’s circuit two months after he completed his detention in Florida, at an early screening ofin a Southampton mansion, where he reportedly caught up with finance friend Leon Black, chatted with current Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and sat near Rudy Giuliani. As recently asMarch 2016, Epstein’s presence attracted attention when she introduced him to guests at the New York premiere of Warner Bros.
