Epstein Emails Reveal ‘Snow White’ References and Disturbing Exchanges
Newly released documents from the US Department of Justice reveal a series of disturbing emails involving Jeffrey Epstein and multiple women, including exchanges referencing the Disney character “Snow White” just weeks before a now-infamous interaction with former Barclays CEO Jes Staley. The correspondence sheds further light on the disgraced financier’s network and raises renewed questions about the nature of his relationships.
On June 20, 2010, Epstein wrote to an unidentified woman, stating, “I would love to take photos of you in a Snow White costume. You can get it from the costume store,” to which she replied, “Will get it!” According to reports, this exchange occurred three weeks before Staley sent Epstein an email on July 10 saying, “that was fun. Say hi to Snow White.”
The “Snow White” reference has become central to the controversy surrounding the relationship between Epstein and Staley, which the banker has consistently maintained was professional. However, the newly surfaced emails paint a more complex and troubling picture.A separate message, dated the same day as the costume request, appears to be from another woman – whose identity the Financial Times has chosen to protect – stating, “The snow white was f. ed twice as soon as she put her costume.”
The emails do not provide details regarding the ages of the women involved.This lack of clarity adds to the disturbing nature of the exchanges.
Staley previously stated in 2025 that he was unaware of Epstein’s “monstrous activities” during thier relationship.The newly released emails do not mention Staley directly, nor is he listed as a recipient. Moreover, the correspondence does not definitively confirm weather all references to “Snow White” pertain to the same individual.
The revelations come after Staley stepped down as chief executive of Barclays in 2021 following a Financial conduct authority (FCA) examination into his ties with Epstein. Barclays had attempted to assure the regulator that Staley did not have a close relationship with Epstein,a claim that was later found to be misleading. Last year, Staley unsuccessfully attempted to overturn a lifetime ban imposed by the FCA, which prohibited him from holding senior management positions in the financial services industry.
During court proceedings related to the ban, Staley was directly questioned about referring to women associated with Epstein as Disney characters or princesses, specifically “Snow White.” He responded, “No.” He further claimed, “I honest to god, when I went through the emails I have no idea what this refers to.I have no idea who Snow White is.” The presiding judge ultimately ruled against Staley, finding that he had acted “without integrity” by approving the misleading letter to the regulator.
The latest trove of emails also reveals a number of exchanges between epstein and the woman the Financial Times has not named, containing descriptions of young women. In an April 2010 email, the woman wrote, “milan could be engaging as well. Girls are hungry there.” She continued, “May be we pick one girl from all the girls i ve seen tostart with? I will make snaps and videos tmw…”
Another email from September of that year describes a woman referred to as “the second – 21,” stating, “Discrete, not stupid but not too smart… stubborn, wants to study acting, looked a bit lost, no goals in life, was late for one hour, rents a room in east village, doesn’t like to go to places where all models go.”
A lawyer for Staley did not promptly provide a comment regarding the newly released emails.These disturbing exchanges underscore the extent of Epstein’s network and the troubling nature of his interactions with women, continuing to fuel scrutiny of those connected to him.
