Naomi Campbell Responds to Epstein File Release, Denies Any Wrongdoing

Supermodel Naomi Campbell firmly denies any involvement in criminal activity after the recent release of documents related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Campbell is 55 years old, and her name appears frequently in the newly unsealed files. It was cited in emails, contact lists, and scheduling exchanges.

She took to social media over the weekend to emphasize that these mentions do not imply misconduct. “I said it in 2019, and I’ll say it again now: don’t come at me when there is no wrongdoing on my part,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “I stand in complete solidarity with the courageous survivors.”

Documents Show Ongoing Contact, But No Criminal Allegations

The batch of documents released by the Department of Justice is part of a broader effort to make public records related to Epstein’s network and operations. According to reports by The New York Times, Campbell’s name appears in nearly 300 records. However, many are duplicates.

Her name may relate to routine correspondence about travel plans, social invitations, and future engagements.

Sources familiar with the files say they mention Campbell in contexts such as scheduling logistics and coordinating travel and event attendance, including references to fashion industry gatherings and social events, largely through Epstein’s longtime assistant and communication channels.

There is no indication in the released documents that Campbell engaged in or was involved with Epstein’s criminal activity, and she has never faced any charges in connection with his illegal conduct.

Public Response and Legal Statement

Campbell’s legal team has consistently rejected any suggestion of wrongdoing. According to reports, her attorney, Martin Singer, stated that before Epstein’s 2019 arrest in New York, “Campbell knew nothing about his appalling criminal conduct.”

He added that if Campbell had ever encountered any young woman she believed was being victimized by Epstein, “she would have personally taken immediate action to help her.”

Campbell’s defense also highlights that much of her contact with Epstein occurred in public, professional settings. These include fashion events, charity functions, and other industry gatherings.

She had no control over who Epstein interacted with at those events.

Continued Scrutiny Over Relationship

Although the files show communications over at least 15 years, Campbell’s team insists she was unaware of his criminal behavior until years later.

Campbell addressed the connection in 2019 after earlier public scrutiny. At that time, she condemned Epstein’s crimes, stating they were “indefensible” and that learning about them had “sickened” her.

Context and Public Reaction

The release of Epstein’s files has reignited debate over the nature of his extensive network of contacts, which includes politicians, business leaders, and celebrities. It raises questions about the ethical lines between social or professional association and criminal involvement.

The mere mention in administrative records does not imply guilt. Experts emphasize that the context of these mentions, and whether there is any evidence of participation in criminal activity, is crucial in distinguishing social association from wrongdoing.

For Campbell, the swift public defense and reiteration of past statements are aimed at making it clear that being named in a set of high-profile documents does not, in itself, prove guilt.

As the investigation into Epstein’s files continues, her team states they will remain open and transparent, affirming that she supports survivors and insists on “no wrongdoing on my part.”
