Case 18-2868, Document 287, 08/09/2019, 2628251, Page19 of 76 Barden directed Gow to issue this press release. At his deposition, Gow authenticated this email and confirmed that Maxwell authorized the statement. Giuffre has noted that the email and Gow’s testimony establish that Maxwell, not Barden, directed and “command[ed]” Gow to publish the defamatory statement and the first sentence of the statement is false and the second sentence - “This email was sent to more than 6 and probably less than 30 media representatives” - omits the fact that not only did Gow admit to emailing the statement to the press, but he also read it to over 30 media representatives over the phone. Giuffre has denied the statement. 19. Among the media representatives who received the Press Release were Martin Robinson of the Daily Mail, P. Peachey of The Independent, Nick Sommerlad of The Mirror, David Brown of The Times, Nick Always and Jo-Anne Pugh of the BBC, and David Mercer of the Press Association. These representatives were selected based on their request after the joinder motion was filed-for a response from Maxwell to Giuffre’s allegations in the motion. 19
