While Ghislaine Maxwell awaited trial for sex trafficking in a Brooklyn jail, PETA lobbied to ensure that she had vegan meals.
It’s unclear when the heiress had given up meat. She was spotted scarfing down a burger, fries and shake at a Los Angeles In-N-Out Burger in 2019.
When the British socialite’s family lost its fortune and she moved to New York in the 1990s, she found a friend to lend her a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park to start a new life.
Now, as inmate No. 02879-509 — serving 20 years for her role in conspiring to recruit, groom and sexually abuse underage girls — she wants her freedom. And the country waits to see if President Donald Trump, whose reputation hangs on what she says, will give her a pardon.
In many ways, Maxwell has always been in charge – becoming a confidante of financier Jeffrey Epstein and connecting the rich and famous to turning the tables on lawyers during a deposition. She does so with a hint of entitlement that comes from her privileged background, and a lot of moxie.
