(dated around late 2025 based on its ID and recent resurfacing discussions) highlights Karen Mulder, a prominent Dutch supermodel from the 1990s, as an early whistleblower whose story is now being re-examined in light of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and broader fashion industry abuse revelations.Key points from the post and surrounding context:
  • Karen Mulder was one of the original Victoria's Secret Angels and appeared on major magazine covers (Vogue, etc.) while walking for brands like Versace, Dior, and Chanel.
  • In late October 2001, she appeared on the French talk show Tout le Monde en Parle (hosted by Thierry Ardisson). During the live taping in front of a studio audience, she made explosive allegations of rape and sexual abuse by powerful figures, including:
    • Executives from Elite Model Management (notably Gérald Marie, who ran its European operations, and connections to Jean-Luc Brunel).
    • Prince Albert II of Monaco.
    • Other unnamed politicians, celebrities, police officers, and industry insiders.
  • The segment was considered too explosive (potentially libelous), so it was cut from the broadcast, and reports say the footage was erased or destroyed. She repeated some claims in a magazine interview shortly after.
  • Following this, Mulder faced severe backlash: She was labeled unstable, reportedly institutionalized in a Paris psychiatric clinic (Villa Montsouris) for several months, attempted suicide in 2002, and largely disappeared from public life. Her family at the time attributed her issues to drugs and career stress.
  • The post frames her as a "Cassandra" figure — someone who spoke out years before #MeToo or Epstein's full exposure but was dismissed and silenced.
Connection to Jeffrey EpsteinThere is no direct, personal accusation from Mulder naming Epstein himself in her 2001 claims (she focused more on European fashion elites, royalty, and agency figures). However, the link is made retrospectively because:
  • Jean-Luc Brunel (a major scout and agent tied to Elite) was a close Epstein associate. Epstein reportedly helped fund Brunel's MC2 Model Management agency in the mid-2000s, which has been accused of serving as a pipeline for recruiting and trafficking young models/girls to Epstein and others.
  • Brunel faced rape and trafficking charges (he died in custody in 2022 while awaiting trial). Some of Mulder's earlier agency-related accusations align with patterns later confirmed in Epstein-related investigations.
  • Recent articles and discussions (e.g., Miami Herald reporting, Substack pieces, Reddit threads) portray Mulder's 2001 warnings as eerily prescient about the modeling world's overlap with elite exploitation networks that Epstein exploited.
Her story has gained renewed attention in 2025 discussions, with many viewing her as an under-credited early voice whose treatment (being discredited as "crazy") mirrors how other Epstein-related whistleblowers or victims were initially handled.If you'd like more details (e.g., specific articles, recent X discussions about her, or related visuals like archival photos of her modeling work), let me know!
