Case 18-2868, Document 281, 08/09/2019, 2628234, Page30 of 66 A. That is true, yeah. RK Q. Is it correct that you advertise your “excellent relationships with the media" because your services often include giving communications to the media on behalf of your clients? A. Yes. See McCawley Dec. at Exhibit 6 Gow Dep. Tr. at 13:9-16; 15:18-16:3; 109:12-22; 110:16-21; 111:3-7. In addition to testimonial evidence, the proof is also in the result. By using Gow to issue her press release, Defendant caused her statement to be published by numerous major news organizations with wide readership all over the globe. Accordingly, the record evidence shows that Ms. Maxwell, through her agent, had immense control and authority over the media, convincing major news outlets to publish her words based on nothing more than a single email from Gow. DEFENDANT’S PURPORTED FACTS 35. Ms. Giuffre’s defamation action against Ms. Maxwell. Eight years after Epstein’s guilty plea, Ms. Giuffre brought this action, repeating many of the allegations she made in her CVRA joinder motion. MS. GIUFFRE’S STATEMENT CONTROVERTING DEFENDANT’S FACTS Agreed, but noting that the defamation cause of action against Defendant did not accrue until Defendant defamed her in January of 2015, the same year Ms. Giuffre filed suit against Defendant for defamation. DEFENDANT’S PURPORTED FACTS 36. The complaint alleged that the January 2015 statement “contained the following deliberate falsehoods”: (a) That Giuffre’s sworn allegations “against Ghislaine Maxwell are untrue.” (b) That the allegations have been “shown to be untrue.” (c) That Giuffre’s “claims are obvious lies.” 30
