Ghislaine Maxwell Likened Girls To 'Candy' According To A Former Friend


Listen Later

According to the anonymous former friend quoted in a detailed profile of Maxwell, Maxwell treated the girls she procured for Jeffrey Epstein as disposable objects — using language that reduced them to commodities rather than human beings. As reported in one long-form investigation, Maxwell reportedly said of underage girls, “they’re nothing, these girls … they are trash.” The friend claimed these girls were viewed as playthings: something to be consumed, used, and discarded at will, like “candy.” Maxwell’s alleged jaded, detached attitude toward the girls — calling them “trash” — marked a deliberate dehumanization: she allegedly saw them not as people with dignity but as instruments for gratification, social leverage, and profit.

This alleged mindset — of treating victims as candy — suggests Maxwell not just facilitated exploitation but psychologically conditioned both herself and her circle to view the girls as disposable. According to the former friend’s account, Maxwell emphasized that underage girls were easy, replaceable, and worth exalting only until Epstein or someone else no longer needed them. That callousality supposedly underpinned the operations: grooming, trafficking, and abuse carried out without empathy or remorse, stripping victims of their agency and humanity. Under this framing, victims were not people — they were objects to be used and discarded — which underscores why many survivors and observers view Maxwell as more directly culpable than just an enabler: she was an enabler who actively internalized and imposed dehumanizing rationales for exploitation.
