Ghislaine Maxwell’s family and friends created a website called RealGhislaine.com shortly after her arrest — presenting it as a “defense” platform to challenge how the media and public depict her. The site brands her as the “real Ghislaine” rather than the one-dimensional figure painted in headlines, claiming much of the coverage is sensationalized or misleading. On the site, her family issues statements calling her treatment unfair: they argue she was held in harsh pre-trial conditions without bail, portray the prison conditions as “cruel and unusual,” and emphasize that accusations against her stem from decades-old allegations often made by unnamed accusers.


Beyond damage control, the website functions as a legal and public-relations hub: it hosts biographical information, legal filings including her appeals and petitions (for example a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court), and promises continuing updates on her case. It encourages supporters and media to sign up for confidential updates, framing Maxwell as a sister, step-mother, friend, and victim of injustice rather than a convict. In presenting her narrative, RealGhislaine.com aims to rewrite the public record — shifting the story from her conviction and the testimony of survivors to a portrait of alleged victimhood, injustice, and a fight for vindication.
