Duchess’s then spokesperson recalls disgraced financier’s ‘Hannibal Lecter-style’ phone call after she disowned him
The Duchess of York allegedly sent an email apologising to disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein after he threatened to “destroy her” in a “Hannibal Lecter-style” phone call, according to reports.
Sarah Ferguson sent the message in April 2011, describing Epstein as a “supreme friend”, after she had publicly disowned him in the media.
James Henderson, her spokesperson at the time, said the email was sent after a “really menacing and nasty” phone call from the sex offender, in which he had a “Hannibal Lecter-type voice”, the Telegraph reported.
Henderson said that Epstein was incensed by her description of him as a paedophile and made a “chilling” phone call in which he threatened to take legal action, the paper said.
