While Hollywood stays silent, Mick Jagger calls out the powerful figures shielding Epstein’s legacy.
As fresh Epstein files surfaced in late 2025, revealing undated photos of celebrities like Mick Jagger alongside Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton, and Ghislaine Maxwell, the entertainment world has largely remained mute. Stars pictured in the trove—Michael Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Diana Ross—have faced no public statements from peers or industry leaders, underscoring a familiar pattern of avoidance when elite associations come under scrutiny.
Yet amid this quiet, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger broke ranks. In a rare interview following the December releases, the 82-year-old rock icon condemned the “powerful figures” who, he claimed, continue to downplay or deflect Epstein’s network of influence. “It’s disgusting how some still shield that legacy of exploitation,” Jagger said, pointing to lingering redactions and selective disclosures that protect certain names while exposing others. He emphasized that mere social photos don’t imply guilt but called for full transparency to honor victims.
Jagger’s outspokenness stands in stark contrast to Hollywood’s reticence. Major studios and A-listers, many with their own past ties to high-profile events, have issued no collective response, perhaps fearing collateral damage in an industry already grappling with #MeToo reckonings. Critics argue this silence perpetuates a culture where wealth and fame insulate predators.
Epstein’s web ensnared politicians, royals, and entertainers, enabled by decades of leniency. Jagger’s voice amplifies survivors’ demands for unredacted truth, challenging the powerful to confront complicity rather than bury it. In an era of selective outrage, his candor reminds us that rock ‘n’ roll rebellion can still disrupt comfortable elites.
