Billionaire Bill Gates first spoke out about the allegation of adultery

Recently, billionaire Bill Gates had a conversation with broadcaster Savannah Guthrie on a talk show Today NBC News about his new book ‘How to Prevent the Next Pandemic’. Also in this interview, the Microsoft co-founder first mentioned the divorce and the noise surrounding his relationship with the sex-criminal businessman.

When asked about his divorce from Melinda, Bill Gates frankly admitted: “Divorce is a sad thing. You know, I have to take responsibility for causing so much pain to my family.”

He also said that the post-divorce period was a difficult year for him. But he’s glad that both of them have made it through and are moving forward.

After the divorce surprised the public, the billionaire admitted to having some very heavy judgments about him. When the announcer mentioned the accusations of adultery a long time ago, and asked “is that true?”, “is that the cause of the divorce?”, Bill Gates replied:

“I am sure that I made a mistake and must take responsibility. Don’t go into speculative details, but yes, I caused suffering and I feel bad about it.”

The second question of interest is about his relationship with billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. “When you met him, he was already convicted. Do you have any regrets?” – asked the announcer.

“Of course, I made a big mistake, not only because I met him, but also because I have met him many times.”

Bill Gates explained about the relationship that he himself only thought of raising money for the global health fund when working with Jeffrey Epstein. At the time, he didn’t realize that meeting Jeffrey was underestimating the terrible things he had done.

“After time, I understood more. You know, I added myself to my list of mistakes. I should have listened to Melinda’s advice sooner.”

Sharing about his current relationship with Melinda, the billionaire said, one of the things that the two have built together is the Gates Foundation and they appreciate that achievement.

“Melinda and I love doing it together, so I feel very fortunate to still be working with her.”

When the announcer hinted at whether he’d learned anything from the divorce, Gates said:

“There are areas like weather or health that I am knowledgeable about, while in personal matters like this, I don’t think of myself as an expert. I am very ignorant about it. You know, success looks complicated on the surface. Therefore, I have no advice to anyone on this matter.”

In an interview with CBS earlier this year, Melinda said there was “not a single moment” leading up to their divorce.

Reflecting on the emotions she went through during this difficult time, Melinda told host Gayle King that she cried a lot for days on end. But for now, she says, she feels like she’s “starting a healing journey.”

“I really feel like I’m entering a new chapter in my life. I mean, it’s 2022 now and I’m really excited about what’s to come in life ahead.”
