Melinda French Gates is utterly heartbroken to see her ex-husband has been named in the Epstein files. In Tuesday's episode of Wild Card with Rachel Martin and NPR, the 61-year-old was asked by host Rachel Martin what she thought about Bill Gates being named in the new Epstein file releases.

No girl should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein and whatever was going on with all of the various people around him." Then she said it's "personally hard" for her in particular, adding: "It's beyond heartbreaking ... [It] brings back memories of some very very painful times in my marriage. But I have moved on from that. I purposely pushed it away and I moved on. I'm in a really unexpected, beautiful place in my life." As far as what went on with her ex and Jeffrey Epstein? She says she "can't even begin to know": "Those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband. They need the answer to those things, not me. I am so happy to be away from all the muck." See the video for yourself (below): Ugh, just awful. We're so glad she was able to get out of that, but we can't imagine the scars she was left with. Thoughts on her response, Perezcious readers?
