Russell Wilson spoke out after his name turned up in the DOJ’s recent dump of documents connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The Super Bowl-winning quarterback’s name was among the celebrities, rappers, and VIPs who continued emailing Epstein after his 2009 conviction for procuring a minor girl for prostitution.
Russell took to X (Twitter) to clear his name on Sunday, Feb. 1.
“NOPE!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Not TODAY satan!” he wrote. “Some Random plane broker tried to sell me a plane. I had no idea whose plane and never bought the plane. Never talked nor Never met the man. Thank God !!!”
The NFL icon, who recently played for the New York Giants, is not the only member of the Giants organization to be mentioned in the Epstein documents dump.
Giants part-owner Steve Tisch also emailed Epstein, according to The Athletic.
The emails show Tisch and Epstein discussing adult women and organizing meet-ups with them.
Tisch offered Epstein free tickets to watch a NY Giants game in his private suite at the stadium.
Epstein invited Tisch to fly to his private Caribbean island on his Lolita Express private plane.
In a statement provided to Daily Mail, Tisch said: “We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments.”
He continued: “I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”
In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to a state charge of procuring a girl below age 18 for prostitution.
On July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested on human trafficking charges. He was jailed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in NYC, where he hanged himself on July 23, 2019.
