We've had a lot of different people come out and expose the truth about Ellen Degenerous, but we did not see Kevin Spacy being one of them. And what he's saying is something we haven't heard about Ellen before either. Can you imagine if I didn't learn anything?
If it was 7 years, then I learned nothing. House is being sold at auction. Really?
So, I have to go back [music] to uh to Baltimore and and put all my things in storage. Really? So, the answer to that question is I'm not quite sure where I'm going to live.
Uh, now [snorts] uh, according to a new wave of claims on the internet, Ellen seemingly went after Kevin [music] Spacy after he tried to speak out against her inside the industry. Apparently, Kevin knew what Ellen was really like behind the scenes and was prepared [music] to stand up for the people she was victimizing. But before he could bring all these claims into the public spotlight, he [music] was silenced.
In July 2016, actor Kevin Spacy has sexually assaulted my son. The tears of a mother in Boston today, revealing what she claims happened to her son. The victim, my son, was a starruck, straight 18-year-old young man who had no idea that the famous actor was an alleged predator or that he was about to become his next victim.
Journalist Heather Enro's tweet about Kevin Spacy last month triggered all the allegations against him. Today, she went public and the police [music] are now investigating. To Kevin Spacy, I want to say this.
Shame on you for what you've did to my son. The BBC has interviewed more alleged victims. Chris Nixon didn't have to speak out, but wanted to make clear Kevin Spacy's behavior was part of a pattern.
It's not just sleazy, it's predatorial. It's he did what he did because he knew he'd get away with it. Kevin would later be acquitted and the entire matter forgotten.
I uh I imagine that many of you can understand uh that there's a lot for me to process after what has just happened today. But I would like to say that I'm enormously grateful to the jury for having taken the time to examine all of the evidence and all of the facts carefully before they reach their decision. And I am humbled by the outcome today.
For years, Rosie O'Donnell and Kathy Griffin have hinted that they knew far more about Ellen Degenerous than the public ever realized. Not just about the accusations that Ellen mistreated employees behind the scenes, but about claims tied to Jeffrey Epstein that continued to fuel intense speculation online. As more stories involving powerful Hollywood figures started making headlines, Rosie reflected on how she recognized certain warning signs.
She explained that when the Harvey Weinstein scandal exploded, she already understood the language, the tactics, and the patterns that powerful people allegedly used to protect themselves. Rosie said she had experienced controlling behavior herself and described situations where someone allegedly tried to dictate exactly what she should say publicly in order to protect their own image. You read about the Harvey Weinstein, do you have an immediate reaction to that?
Well, you know, I'm 55, he's 65. He became very famous at the same time my show was hitting. So I knew him and I knew of him and these stories were not a surprise to me.
Um, and it's also just a problem of sexism in America. Just like racism is inherent. Every time a football player kneels down, they're kneeling down to say racism is systemic in our nation.
Well, so is sexism and so is the belittlement of women by men in power, usually white men. So that it didn't surprise me. It's like we have to agree on the givens in America in order to solve the problem.
And if the problem is why are women being abused at a horrible number and why is this mass incarceration of African-Ameans? How is this the Jim Crow laws contemporized? You know, there's amazing stuff out there to read if you're interested.
And we can, I believe, solve these issues if we're able to speak about them out in the open. Instead of staying quiet, Rosie said she spoke openly about facts that were already public. [music] She pointed to reports that Weinstein had failed to pay vendors and noted the numerous allegations that had been made against him, emphasizing that everything she discussed could easily be found through public reporting.
According to this narrative, Rosie and Cathy eventually decided it was time to tell what they believed was the bigger story, one that they argue extends beyond individual celebrities and into a much larger network of influential people protecting one another. Rosie also spoke about how difficult it is for many people to understand why alleged victims don't simply walk away. She pointed out that many were [clears throat] only teenagers or very young adults and argued that people who have experienced years of trauma often react in ways outsiders struggle to understand, especially as she experienced it herself.
How did your father deal with it in reality? You know, not very well. Uh he um had his own issues and demons.
He had a very tough childhood, an alcoholic [music] abusive father and uh never really got the help that I think every person needs when they have lived through that as a child. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to become what you loathe. And I think that he had a lot of uh a lot of problems to deal with in his own life, never mind being faced with raising these five small children.
He did get a lot of um empathy or sympathy from the local [music] people in the town. Like we'd go to church and they would all be like, "Oh, there's Ed O'Donnell. Such a good man that he's doing.
Look, he's all those. " He got a little bit heralded, you know, as this widowerower who was doing this uh great job raising the kids. Now that you've had four kids yourself, have you been able to look back on him in a more favorable light given the enormity of what was suddenly thrust upon him?
In some ways I do, but there was some, you know, there are some unforgivable things. I think that uh as a child the the statute of limitations I think has to wear off, right? You get to be 50 years old, you can't still be angry at what your father did in 1970.
You have to work it out yourself and then find a place for it in your own life and not rehash it forever. Have you reached that place? I have.
I've reframed it and I've uh you know, have you forgiven him in your mind? I have and uh and he knows it and I've told him that and he's still alive and I think he's still suffering and that's a sad thing to me because uh no matter what at the end of the day every child loves their dad and their mom. They do.
It's innate. I I would go to McLaren Hall which was a place that was open in LA for children in protective custody. First time I went there was a little boy and his hand was bandaged and I said to him, "Hey buddy, how you doing?
" He said, "Good. " He was like six. I said, "What do you want for Christmas?
" He said, "Only to see my mommy. " And I said, "I'm sure you will, little man. When I walked out, one of the social workers said to me, "His mother held his hand to the stove and burnt his fingers off.
" And what that child wanted was his mother. So no matter what, every child wants their parents to love them and to be in their life. And I think it's a very hard thing when when uh stuff occurs that makes that almost impossible.
Supporters of this theory believe Rosie fired the first major warning shot when Ellen reportedly left the United States for the United Kingdom with her wife Porsche D. Rossi. They argue that this happened before renewed public attention on Epstein related records turned certain names into unavoidable headlines.
We've already previously discussed how Ellen seemingly designed her own set to be like Epstein's Island, but there are also several television clips featuring her making light-hearted jokes about islands. In one interview segment with Mel Gibson, Ellen jokes about his island and says she might call it Melville. In another segment promoting HBO, Max's Fboy Island, Ellen jokingly describes the show as involving attractive men on an island.
Could she have been dropping hints almost in a mocking manner as people wouldn't have been able to understand what she meant back then? There are also claims online alleging Ellen traveled aboard Jeffrey Epstein's private aircraft, commonly referred to as the Lolita Express, and visited Epstein's private island, Little St. James.
We know there has been a whole host of celebrities already associated with the Lolita Express. And the reality inside the plane was nothing short of chilling. The Post is here in Brunswick, Georgia at the Stambach airport and we're inside Jeffrey Epstein's 727 plane that has been called the Lolita Express.
Right when you first walk in, um there's a bathroom and here you can see some of the items that remain from when it was owned by Jeffrey Epstein. Um, there are monogram paper towels that show the name of the plane as well as Jeffrey [music] Epstein's initials, obviously. Um, and then we have a baby powder bottle disturbingly underneath the sink in this main bathroom, as well as just other random kind of toiletries and items.
in the bedroom, which is what you walk into next. There's still some covers on the bed, but there's dead bugs on them. Now, this is definitely a deteriorated, falling apart jet that's just been sitting here unused for almost 10 years.
But interestingly, in the top drawer of the nightstand, there's a satellite phone. And then you kind of come into the galley here, we have coffee, just instant coffee. Most of these things are just empty.
Again, this has been sitting here unused for almost 10 years. It'll be 10 years this summer. Um, and a lot of what's in these drawers is just random.
A lot of them are empty, but some have like plastic bags or garbage bags, especially as you get into the kitchen here. She was the air hostess on board the notorious Lolita Express, the billionaire's private jet at the center of a sex scandal making lurid headlines across the world. Sleazy [music] Wall Street tycoon Jeffrey Epstein used the Lolita Express to ferry a bevy of beautiful young women.
Among the passengers, former President Bill Clinton and Britain's Prince Andrew. On almost every trip that I did go on, there were young girls around. In this Inside Edition exclusive, Shantae Davies takes us inside the secret world of the Lolita Express, named for the controversial book and movie about a professor's infatuation with an underage girl.
Shantae made several trips on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous Lolita Express. She says she was one of several young attractive women hired to travel around the world giving massages or yoga instruction to Epstein at his rich and powerful friends. When Shantae was hired, she was a struggling 22-year-old actress.
She once played a lingerie model in a movie called Exposed. These designs are really great. Shantae worked as a masseuse but says she never had with Epstein.
Did you ever think that maybe more was going on than simple massages? Looking back, of course. Was there a bed on the airplane?
Actually, yes, there was. Yeah. On one memorable flight on board a plane like this provided by Air Hollywood, she says she made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for passengers, including Oscar winner Kevin Spacy, actor Chris [music] Tucker, and even Bill Clinton.
They were all flying to Africa on a humanitarian mission. and Jeffrey Epstein had given them the use of his jet. So, you never gave President Clinton a massage?
No, I didn't. Shantae says when the plane landed in Africa, Clinton took her shopping, but she says nothing improper occurred. They had shut down a jewelry store for us, and I helped him pick out a bracelet for Chelsea.
It was a jetet lifestyle for sure, but Shantae says she felt uncomfortable about being part of Epstein's collection of young women. You saw young women around Jeffrey Epstein and they didn't seem to have regular jobs and you started wondering why are they here? Yes.
Yes. When you look back, are there red flags that you should have seen at the time? Definitely.
Yeah. Why fly anyone out to be a masseuse when there's plenty of masseuses in the same city that you're in? It's important to note that these claims have circulated online for years, but have not been established as fact through verified public evidence.
Ellen's friendly television persona allegedly distracted audiences from accusations about her off- camerara behavior while also shielding her from deeper public scrutiny. Someone with Ellen's popularity, reputation, and carefully cultivated image would naturally receive the benefit of the doubt whenever criticism surfaced. Millions of fans viewed her as one of television's nicest personalities, making it easy for critics to be dismissed as jealous or conspiracy theorists.
Then whistleblowers began stepping forward. Boom. Everybody in the world hates Ellen.
She's mean. She's racist. She's a bully, right?
Okay. This is not Kayn Allen's truth. Kayn Allen's truth is that he just perceives a person who is perhaps socially awkward.
Nevertheless, Kayn drafts a statement. He's got something to say. So, he drafted his statement.
And according to him, in his statement, he said, "Hey, I don't know Miss Ellen that way. However, these people do and these people's story is very real and because of that I stand with the staff. According to him, legal said you could put that statement out if you very well please.
That is up to you. However, if you do so, you will be violating your NDA, your non-disclosure agreement. So, then you'll be in breach of contract.
Do with that information what you will. So, of course, he didn't say anything. According to Kayn, even though he did not experience that version of Ellen DeGeneres, it was still very hard for him to get a job after the fallout of Ellen because they perceived him as being too close.
You have to keep in mind that Ellen DeGeneres is Kayn's first job in like media Hollywood. Him say all of this made me understand his Starbucks collaboration just a little bit more. And be because I don't know when that Starbucks collaboration was filmed.
Of course, I don't believe that Caitlyn had anything to do with the timing of it coming out. However, my god, the timing sucked. But if we are talking about somebody who is struggling to get jobs, somebody who used to be a regular on Ellen Degenerous and now it's like [music] my only option is the Starbucks job because y'all have jerked me around like what what is one to do?
Then there's the case of Sasha Riley. According to the claims presented, Riley is a retired 52-year-old army sergeant who has publicly alleged that he was illegally transported and abused child during the 1980s by a network of powerful individuals. Riley has also alleged that his adoptive father, William Kyle Riley, worked as a pilot for Jeffrey Epstein.
Yeah. And um so we broke it into timelines when we did the when we did data collection on this and I'll show you what we came up with. The first was that we have the allegations and we first want to find out who his father is.
And in fact, there is a William Bill Riley, Kyle Riley, 76 years old, who is a former pilot and a private investigator is what he's registered as. Okay. So, this is a guy who former uh helicopter pilot.
He's now living in Georgia. So, we know that he told the truth that he does in fact have a father, a adopted father, William, uh, Bill Kyle, uh, Kyle Riley. We're pretty sure that that's irrefutable.
Okay. Okay. Now, this is where it gets to be a little disturbing because William Bill Kyle Riley is in the Epstein documents as one of the people that was flying for Epstein and Trump.
Oh my god. So now we have confirmation that this person Sasha Riley is is talking about does in fact exist and he is in fact in the Epstein files and that's very damning. Mhm.
And speaks to the veracity. So last night I got through most of the Sasha Riley tapes the male Jeffrey E victim who was a child at the time. And even though I suspected as much, it is still much much much worse than we ever anticipated.
I'm not going to give specific details, but let's just say that um Jeffrey E, he was a mid-level employee in this whole operation. He further claims he attended parties at Hidden Farms in Enterprise, Alabama, where he says influential individuals participated in criminal activity. This was the hidden world those rumors had always pointed toward.
While television personalities continued entertaining audiences and promoting messages of kindness, and Riley's public allegations gave Rosie O'Donnell the opening she needed to speak more openly. So, I went on Substack and I listened to the interview with the trafficked man, Sasha Riley. I didn't think I'd be able to listen to it.
Uh but I listened to it because we all need to bear witness and worse than everyone imagined, right? Very, very, very troubling and scary. And uh I encourage you to do it.
the more people that get to hear it before they take it down and you know the better. It's very sad to me that we had all of these women's testimony and you know when a man says that everyone pays attention. Um, not that his statements are not valid and they're looking to confirm them, but boy are they uh drastically violent and criminally corrupt in every capacity.
So go to Substack and type in Sasha Riley and you will be able to see and hear, not see, but hear um this man on a phone interview with a journalist. I don't know how he survived. I really don't.
And you know, I tend to believe what he said because he's sort of so removed from it, dissociating. He's not like going back to the memory. He's just reporting on it almost as if it didn't happen uh to him, which unfortunately it did.
What a sad uh childhood and horrific parents he had. this boy and grew up into a man and is uh in the armed forces and how he made it out alive. That's a story in and of itself.
But, you know, it definitely explains why the powers that be don't want the files released because of the horrifics inside of it. Rosie [snorts] recalled being told repeatedly to maintain complete silence in order to protect other alleged survivors. Her response was blunt.
She questioned who those unnamed people were and suggested she no longer believed remaining silent served anyone. And um there are millions of us. We have to stick together [music] and be inspired by each other's courage.
And I'm very inspired by so many people speaking [music] out and so many people standing up and using their voice even when others tell them not to. Um that's what it's [music] going to take. And you know they always say if you ever wondered what you would have done in Nazi Germany in the 30s well take a look at what you're doing now.
You know [music] we're not overreacting we're underreacting as a nation. And I think that's what they're counting on. So go educate yourself [music] about the realities of Epstein Island and the children and [music] the degrees with which they went to to keep everyone in line.
Horrific. Just horrific. Whether those later online theories are accurate or not, one thing is undeniable.
The toxic workplace scandal permanently changed how many people viewed Ellen Degenerous, and it reopened old conversations that had been buried for years. [music] Now, we see new claims about her come out on almost a daily basis. What do you think the truth is?
