Sarah Ferguson was seen appealing to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for employment due to financial desperation, according to newly disclosed emails. In a message sent in May 2010 while Epstein was under house arrest in Florida, Ferguson, the former Duchess, implored Epstein to hire her as his house assistant, citing her urgent need for money. The email also mentioned a meeting between David Stern, Prince Andrew, and Epstein, suggesting a close association between them.

In the correspondence, Ferguson expressed her willingness to work as Epstein’s house assistant, highlighting her capabilities and financial struggles. Despite the email, Ferguson has consistently denied any wrongdoing. Epstein responded by mentioning two redacted names in connection to the role of assistants. Another email exchange revealed Ferguson’s repeated requests for employment and declarations of affection towards Epstein.

The release of the Epstein Files exposed a series of embarrassing emails between Ferguson and Epstein, showcasing Ferguson’s admiration and dependency on the convicted sex trafficker. Despite later distancing herself from Epstein publicly, Ferguson had previously expressed deep gratitude and admiration towards him, even going as far as proposing marriage in the emails.
