An alleged Epstein victim claimed that Epstein and Maxwell name-dropped Cate Blanchett as being one of the people that they knew.

To be fair, I don't know how trustworthy she is (she seems like she has Stockholm Syndrome), and not everyone that Epstein and Maxwell rubbed shoulders with was intimately connected with them or knew everything about them (President Trump apparently took a while to catch on, after which point he had Epstein kicked out of Mar-a-Lago).

They were exceptional at painting their world as exciting and glamorous, name-dropping all the big shots—Bruce Willis, Ashton Kutcher, Cate Blanchett, Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey. And they had all the photos to prove it. This was the early 2000s before social media, before celebrities were as accessible as they are now. They made you want to be a part of that world… but there was a trade-off. Sometimes you had to do things you didn’t want to do.
