The mom of three previously opened up about her separation from the billionaire, revealing his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was one of the “many things” that contributed to their split.

“I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no. I made that clear to him,” she told “CBS Mornings” host Gayle King in 2022.

Melinda explained she met Epstein “exactly one time” because she was curious about him but “regretted it the second [she] walked in the door.”

“He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. My heart breaks for these women,” she said of the pedophile, who died by suicide in prison in 2019.

Melinda also cited Bill’s alleged affair with a Microsoft employee in 2019 for their parting.
