Ekin-Su Culculoglu shares controversial Jeffrey Epstein theory

Ekin-Su Culculoglu has shared a controversial theory on the Jeffrey Epstein files in a candid video posted to social media claiming she is “convinced” the disgraced financier could still be alive.

The reality TV favourite admitted she has become “fascinated” by the newly released Epstein documents, which have reignited global interest in the late sex offender’s crimes and the powerful figures connected to him.

Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from a minor and served 18 months in prison before being released and placed on the sex offenders’ register.

He was later arrested again in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges and died in prison later that year. His death was ruled a suicide.

On Friday, the US Justice Department released more than three million documents — including emails, photos and videos — in a major disclosure related to Epstein’s case.

It is important to note that appearing in the files does not indicate guilt or wrongdoing. The documents include allegations made by accusers against Epstein and others.

Among the names referenced is Prince Andrew, who has consistently denied all allegations against him.

Reacting to the renewed scrutiny, Ekin-Su took to her Instagram Stories to share her thoughts. She said: “Surely it’s not just me, but everything about Jeffrey Epstein is so interesting. It’s so dark, so twisted — it’s sick-minded.

“I’m just scrolling and scrolling. My TikTok has gone crazy with all this information and I’m like, how can a man be so f***ed up?”

The 30-year-old continued: “I want to find all the clues. I’m convinced he’s probably alive somewhere. I don’t even know if he’s dead.”

She signed off the video by raising her coffee cup and adding cheerfully: “Happy day, guys.”
