That's what he said, but it was done in a humorous context.

A celebrity chef linked to Jeffrey Epstein has insisted he only cooked for the multimillionaire pedophile — insisting he was “unaware of the depraved behavior” involving underage girls.

Long Island native Adam Perry Lang, whose Hollywood restaurant APL is backed by Jimmy Kimmel and Joel McHale, was named in court filings as being a regular passenger on Epstein’s so-called “Lolita Express” private jet.

“Almost 20 years ago, as a young chef I was hired to work for Jeffrey Epstein,” Lang explained in a statement to Eater.

“My role was limited to meal preparation. I was unaware of the depraved behavior and have great sympathy and admiration for the brave women who have come forward.”

Court documents named Lang as one of the regular passengers aboard the pervert’s private plane on several occasions in 2000 and 2001 between his homes in Florida, the Virgin Islands and New Mexico.

He said he didnt' want the list to come out. He didn't say he was on the list and he didn't say he engaged in or was part of any illegal activities mentioned on the list.

Pritzker and Stephen Hawking were the only “new” names I’ve seen mentioned.

As noted by Hussra in the politics thread, Hawking was quite the strip club guy.

Biden is doing a GOOD job.

Absolutely correct. And Rodgers appeared to be playful/somewhat humorous about it.

That said, Kimmel has previously ridiculed Rodgers for his interest in the Epstein Conspiracy.

There are obvious reasons for his attempt to marginalize people interested in this subject.

Even more disturbing than Kimmel's position vis a vis the Epstein Conspiracy, though, is the way the mainstream media has uniformly lied about Rodgers alleged "smear" attack on Kimmel.

Kimmel got by on his tears to get out of being canceled for his past with “The Man Show”; he can probably squeeze a few more out for this.

I don’t think he actually is guilty of anything other than possible six degrees, but he is making himself a target by not shutting up about it.

I think it’s fair to ask what Kimmel is hiding and why is he protecting the Epstein-tainted so vociferously?

One of the abused remembers the chef fondly

A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex ring, Giuffre was on a cross-country mission to doorknock the financier’s former employees after his death. She hoped these acquaintances could be witnesses now, without fear of retribution from Epstein, and lend support to her court battle with Epstein’s onetime lawyer Alan Dershowitz, whom she accused of sexual abuse. (Dershowitz adamantly denies Giuffre’s claims.)

On this particular day, Giuffre was looking for Adam Perry Lang, the chef and barbecue expert behind eponymous Hollywood steakhouse APL. Lang’s hot spot is backed by one of his besties, late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, and Community actor Joel McHale. His résumé includes appearances on Kimmel’s show, nods from Oprah Winfrey, and a spot on the New York Times bestseller list for his book Serious Barbecue.

But to Giuffre, Lang was Epstein’s personal chef and someone she considered a friend. Lang sneaked pizza to her after Epstein—who controlled the diets of women he abused to keep them prepubescent-thin—fell asleep upstairs.

“Justice comes in many forms. In my case, justice is holding the various perpetrators that participated, enabled or looked the other way accountable,” said Giuffre’s letter to Lang, which she read aloud during a road trip with investigative reporter Tara Palmeri. The moment is captured in Season Two of the podcast Broken: Seeking Justice, wherein Palmeri and Giuffre track down Epstein’s household staff who’ve long kept silent about the hedge funder’s activities in New York, Florida, New Mexico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. “I’m not here to ruin your life,” Giuffre read. “You have so much knowledge of the various people on the planes and his homes and anywhere you would have been with him. You truly can’t say you didn’t know or you can’t remember.”

“Adam, please don’t be an enabler,” she concluded. “Be a hero. Be a hero to me, Epstein’s victims, and the millions of children who are trafficked every day. I believe you are a good man. At least the Adam I know was. Prove me right.”

Lang’s attorney, Lawrence Lustberg, said the chef is cooperating with the New York prosecutors investigating Epstein’s sex ring. Lustberg also said he contacted Giuffre’s attorney in early March and offered Lang’s assistance, but a conversation has yet to be scheduled.

“Meanwhile, Mr. Lang has begun a course of fully cooperating with the federal authorities investigating this case,” Lustberg told The Daily Beast. “He, like them and like the victims, wants only that justice be done.”

Lang echoed his attorney’s comments in an email, saying, “We have absolutely always been available to the attorneys for the lawyers representing the victims.”

Giuffre, now a mother of three, last tried to reach Lang in 2014, around the time she was preparing a defamation lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell—Epstein’s former girlfriend who is awaiting trial on federal charges related to his sex-trafficking scheme. Giuffre claims Maxwell recruited her for Epstein in 1999, groomed and sexually abused her, and forced her to have sex with powerful men until she escaped from the wealthy couple in 2002. (Maxwell denies any involvement in Epstein’s abuse of underage girls.)

Giuffre says Lang, 51, can confirm the basics of her story; unlike many other household staff, the chef traveled everywhere with Epstein, and Lang’s name is listed multiple times in flight records for the financier’s private plane. In March 2001, for example, Lang traveled from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Santa Fe, New Mexico, with Giuffre, Epstein, Maxwell, MIT scientist Marvin Minsky, and billionaire Henry Jarecki. (Giuffre claimed Maxwell directed her to have sex with Minsky, who died in 2016.)

Two months later, Lang flew from Teterboro to Palm Beach with Epstein, Maxwell, and her former assistant Emmy Tayler, according to a 2016 deposition of Dave Rodgers, a former pilot for Epstein. A review of flight records shows Fleur Perry Lang, the chef’s ex-wife, also joined some of these travels, including one 2002 flight from New York to Paris with Maxwell, alleged co-conspirator Sarah Kellen, and Epstein.

“He used to talk to me like I was a person.”
Rodgers said Lang often stayed at Epstein’s apartments on East 66th Street in Manhattan, a building where the financier housed women. “I’m pretty sure… Adam stayed there at the time,” Rodgers testified. “So most of the people that were regulars on the flight, they would stay there in the apartments.”

Indeed, Lang was someone Giuffre wouldn’t forget. “He used to talk to me like I was a person,” Giuffre told Palmeri. “Even if I was standing naked in front of him, he wouldn’t be there ogling me… he would be looking directly at my face. And we had wonderful moments together.”

According to Giuffre, Epstein kept his young women on “ridiculous” all-organic diets so they’d stay skinny. In those days, Giuffre was tasked with putting on Epstein’s socks and shoes, helping him bathe, and tucking him in bed.

One night, when Giuffre was on Epstein’s private island, she repaired to the kitchen after Epstein went to sleep. Lang agreed to make her pizza, she says. It became a nocturnal routine for them both, sometimes with Giuffre helping wash the dishes.

“He would have the pizza waiting for me already in the kitchen,” Giuffre recalled. “I’d jump up on the bench. We’d open a beer, which is another thing we weren’t allowed to drink, but we would have a beer together and eat pizza and just talk.”

“He just seemed like a real cool human being,” Giuffre added.

Giuffre said Maxwell put a stop to these late-night hangouts. “Ghislaine being the control freak that she was, was like keeping an eye on us, making sure we weren’t talking anymore,” Giuffre said.

Lang worked for Epstein from 1999 to 2003. After his career took off, he mentioned working for a private client in media interviews. He also discussed working on a New Mexico ranch. He did not, however, refer to Epstein by name.

I'm going to climb out on a limb and say none of us would like to publicly be called a child predator.

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

He didn't call Kimmel a child predator though...

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

many decades ago I used to visit my college best friend at his home in Orlando all the time. his family owned a massive Irish bar downtown and it was quite a hot spot. used to go there every night. Became friends with all his friends who also worked there and hung out. Being the tourist the would play jokes on me all the time. One summer the joke was to tape notes to my back. One night Im hanging at the bar talking to this guy and his girlfriend. All of the sudden their expressions change and the girl said " you have something terrible on your back". I reach back and pull off the sign and it says in big letters "PEDOPHILE" I turn to the couple and say "oh that's ok" and then put the note back on my back and continued drinking.


TL:dR = you're wrong Nas, at least one of us doesn't mind being publicly called a child predator.

It is amazing how much more I like AA ron since he has taken off that awful Packer uniform

Given that Brett Favre has revealed himself to be one of the more despicable villains to pollute the cultural landscape in quite some time, you may want to question your ability as a judge of character.

You're a different kinda cat. A drunk bar prank is a little different from something that could negatively impact your livelihood.

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

I'm sure you made up for it by fucking a lot of reality show chicks.

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

I know Rogan and McAfee made a shit load of money selling out to Spotify and ESPN, but is it really worth it? Use a platform like Patreon or Substack, make a few mill a year without having to deal with bullshit like this. There's nothing cool about working for ESPN. Maybe 25 years ago.
