Gretchen Rhodes has come forward with disturbing claims about her time on Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, alleging that she was recruited directly by Ghislaine Maxwell under the pretense of a legitimate job. According to Rhodes, Maxwell brought her on as a masseuse in 2001 and quickly established strict, demeaning rules—she was told to speak only when spoken to and to keep everything she witnessed confidential. Rhodes says that after a short period of “testing,” she was introduced to Epstein himself, who began making inappropriate demands under the guise of professional massages. These encounters escalated into sexual misconduct, with Epstein allegedly coercing her to touch him in ways that made her uncomfortable and frightened, all while Maxwell looked on or facilitated the dynamic.

Rhodes also claims that Epstein used promises of fame and opportunity to manipulate her emotionally, claiming he could launch her singing career and even arranging meetings with supposed music executives in New York. These promises, she says, were part of a deliberate grooming tactic—offering hope while quietly eroding her autonomy. The entire environment, as described by Rhodes, was cloaked in silence and psychological control. Her allegations highlight not only Epstein’s predatory methods but also Maxwell’s active role in managing and sustaining the abuse. Rhodes’s story is another example of how Epstein’s operation disguised exploitation as opportunity and how those around him, like Maxwell, helped maintain that illusion.
