Mega Edition: How Jeffrey Epstein Ushered In The Fall Of Victoria's Secret (Part 1) (10/2/25)

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Les Wexner, the longtime CEO of L Brands and the architect of Victoria’s Secret’s rise, was a slow-acting poison that ultimately helped unravel both the man and the brand. Epstein gained extraordinary control over Wexner’s finances in the 1990s, wielding power that allowed him to cultivate influence far beyond what his background should have permitted. By embedding himself so deeply in Wexner’s inner circle and finances, Epstein’s presence tainted Wexner’s empire. When Epstein’s predatory behavior and sex trafficking network came to light, questions inevitably turned to how he had managed to accumulate such wealth and power. Wexner’s long-standing ties to him made it impossible to avoid scrutiny, and the public began to see Victoria’s Secret not only as a lingerie company but as part of a much darker web of manipulation and exploitation.The damage didn’t stop at Wexner’s personal reputation. Victoria’s Secret, once a symbol of glamour and unattainable beauty standards, began to collapse under mounting scandals and changing cultural tides. Epstein’s alleged use of Victoria’s Secret branding to lure and groom young women into his orbit cast an especially damning shadow over the company. As survivors and investigators pointed out these links, the brand’s image of empowerment and fantasy shattered, accelerating its decline in an already shifting retail landscape. Wexner ultimately stepped down from L Brands, leaving behind a legacy forever stained by his association with Epstein. The downfall of both the mogul and his lingerie empire was not simply about changing tastes—it was about exposure, complicity, and the corrosive impact of having Epstein at the center of power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
