Are George Clooney and his wife divorcing over Ghislaine Maxwell?
George Clooney was one of Hollywood’s most eligible bachelors for years. Although he was married to Talia Balsam from the years of 1989 – 1993, he remained single after that divorce for a very long time. When it was announced he married Amal Alamuddin (now Amal Clooney) the internet freaked out. Many joked that Amal was out of George’s league.
The high profile power couple has been married for six years now and occasionally become the targets of divorce rumors, just as all famous couples are. However, many are starting to wonder if these divorce rumors hold any merit.
An Austin divorce attorney says:
“This type of divorce between two celebrities are quite complicated since the causes of it could include illict issues, and also, there are high assets involved.”
The memoir
Virginia Giuffre Roberts, the most vocal and well-known accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell had written a memoir called The Billionaire’s Playboy Club. The book hasn’t been published, but the full document was released to the public as part of the unsealed documents from a lawsuit Roberts was involved in.
In the memoir Roberts describes what life being a sex slave for Epstein and Maxwell was like. On top of this, Roberts is unafraid to name names in the book, leaving a lot of famous people who have denied connections to Epstein & Maxwell looking like potential liars.
The rumor
Apparently, in Virginia Giuffre Roberts’s memoir, there’s an excerpt mentioning Ghislaine Maxwell returning from a public outing where she is positively “giddy”. Maxwell, who has reportedly been a name dropper, and someone who speaks openly about sexual encounters, apparently revealed to Roberts she had given George Clooney a blowjob in a bathroom.
The estimated time this conversation allegedly took place is around 2001 – so before Clooney married his current wife. However, it’s said that Amal Clooney is horrified her husband could ever be tied to someone like Ghislaine Maxwell – regardless of whether the rumor is true or false.
George Clooney vehemently denies having any connection to Ghislaine Maxwell at all.
Amal Clooney’s horror
Amal Clooney is an international law specialist and works hard to advocate for human rights. She’s legally able to practice law both in the United States and the United Kingdom, and has also worked for the International Court of Justice located in Hague, Netherlands.
Considering Amal Clooney’s life work, it isn’t hard to understand why she would be disgusted by Ghislaine Maxwell – someone who has been accused of trafficking minors for sex.
An unknown source has claimed that George Clooney’s wife can’t even look at him right now. The fact he could be tied to Maxwell in any way has her “demanding to know how the hell this could have happened”.
Meanwhile, George Clooney is apparently infuriated by the claims.
What this means for the marriage
Right now, there has been no confirmation of a separation or divorce. While this could understandably be an upsetting moment in the couple’s marriage, we don’t know that they will call it quits because of the unpublished memoir.
Even if Virginia Giuffre Roberts had the alleged conversation with Ghislaine Maxwell, it doesn’t mean Maxwell was telling the truth back in 2001. Considering Maxwell had claimed the moment was a chance encounter, it’s possible she thought Clooney would never hear about her brag – whether true or fake.

Well, George Clooney was a single man for a very long time and had had numerous girlfriends during those years. Amal might be upset about this, it’s understandable. But I would wait until the evidence shows he was involved in This Epstein sexual trafficking. As Amal knows being a lawyer, innocent until proven guilty. This whole thing is an culmination of. Many decades of open sexual behavior for many countries around the world including the United States. Are we disgusted , yes. It could have affected anyone’s family.. it’s a shame on our societies moral code.

Well if true. The encounter was not with someone under age and he wasn’t married. It’s unrealistic to think that people don’t fool around when not married.

George Clooney is a run of the mill Hollywood creattion who managed to become uber rich. I suppose he might be a better actor than I thought to create the public image that he has. Amal deserves better than some Hollywood created image.

It’s probably unlikely that a playboy such as George Clooney from the sort of family he’s from is unacquainted with the libertine philosophies preponderant in Hollywood and elsewhere amongst socieities elite. As a woman, Amal is simply not allowed to know what the real players – elite males – know. I’m sure he “adores” her humanitarianism and probably thinks of her as a badge for his overall reputation. If this is true – and I see no reason to think she would be lying (and see much reason why the entitled Clooney would be lying) – then George has been one upped by the karma bug.

Spreading rumours about successful people has become an insulting and embarrassing hobby of certain people who are greedy no hopers after money and fame or cheap publicity. The life George CLOONEY had before he met AMAL is irrelevant and it was his personal life. What he does now after being married to AMAL is only relevant to them but it is definitely personal and a very private matter of the couple. So people should butt out and leave them alone so that they can live peacefully.

So have we become a society that every time someone says something, we automatically believe it? I would hope Mr. Clooney’s wife would have more love and faith in their marriage than rumors, especially those that may have occurred 20 years ago…while he was single. If true, then she has every right to be upset.. If true Mr. Clooney had any type of relationship with Epstein would disgust me but I have to have facts. There are plenty of facts of Bill Clinton’s relationship and visits to Epstein’s perverted island. Why isn’t anything said about that?

Please cite your “facts” about Clinton.

I am tired of hearing about Virginia Giuffre Roberts. If what she says is true why didn’t she file criminal charges year ago? She was of an age that she knew about law enforcement and she knew without a doubt that this kind of activity with a child is illegal.
In my opinion, she engaged in this kind of activity with a open mind accepting the consequences of her illegal acts. She was not in any way, form or shape brain dead or without the mental capacity to know right from wrong.
Further, She was not under the age of 14. Which in itself is a different criminal offense than someone between 14-18.
Under our system of justice, we treat children under the age 14 without the capacity to know right from wrong and consequently, the sentences rendered to defendants who engage in this kind of activity substantially greater.
Without a doubt in my mind Epstein and ANYONE ELSE that engages in this kind of activity should be sentenced to death.

Yes, he wasn’t married to Amal. I don’t like George but give him a break he was single. His taste in friends are not great but his fans made him like a king.

It’s not the bj that’s she’s upset about but his affiliation to maxwell – this would make her question if he had mixed in with the parties x she put up with the young ladies. It’s a character revelation that he may have Something to do with them and their activities. She has children with him. That’s a valid concern.
