WrThe Epstein survivor who 'changed' Nicolle Wallace speaks out

As I told you, I will not say anything about the monsyer, but I will share what his victims say. Please watch and learn.

Sep 15, 2025 The Best People with Nicolle Wallace

At 22 years old, Jess Michaels was thriving. She was finding success as a dancer and model in New York City. Then, in 1991, she met Jeffrey Epstein. Jess Michaels was sexually assaulted by Epstein and it destroyed her stability, her career and her health. After doing the work to begin healing from this trauma, she has found renewed purpose as an advocate alongside other survivors of Epstein's abuse. The day after excerpts from Epstein’s 50th birthday book were made public, Jess and her lawyer, Jennifer Freeman, joined Nicolle Wallace to call out the decades of institutional cowardice, and with a warning for elected leaders: Jess and her fellow survivors are not going away, and they are not going to stop until they get accountability, truth and justice.

Until this point, I have not spent anytime on discussing this issue. I do not believe in naming the names of mass murders or sexual abusers. As a rape victim, I will not give voice to predators and abusers.

But the survivors spoke out. It's time to thank them abd hear them. The DOJ must release the files and allow these brave women to maybe get peace. Let's support them through contacting your congreeman, your senator, or Pam Bondi and the department of justice. We need to fight with them by giving voice to their pain and suffering. Stand with the victims.

The bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act — introduced by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) — requires the Department of Justice to publicly release all unclassified materials related to Epstein's crimes in a fully searchable and downloadable format.

I never thought I would say this, but the following women showed backbone and did the right thing for a change:

• Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA): She stated that releasing the files was something "worth fighting for".

• Nancy Mace (R-SC): She is one of the Republican representatives who went ahead and signed the petition.

• Lauren Boebert (R-CO): She is another attention-courting politician who signed the petition to release the files.

I will keep the victims' voices out there, so you can hear them and help them. It doesn't matter who the abusers were/are. They MUST face justice!
