Maria Farmer is an American visual artist who rose to public attention not for her artwork initially, but for being among the first whistleblowers to alert authorities about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In 1996, while working for Epstein and Maxwell in New York, she was allegedly sexually assaulted by both. She went on to submit what is recognized as the first criminal complaint to the New York City Police Department and the FBI—a warning that would unfortunately go unheeded for years.
Over the years Farmer has reemerged as a powerful advocate for survivors of Epstein’s exploitation. She filed an affidavit in federal court in 2019 supporting Virginia Giuffre’s defamation lawsuit, and in 2025, she sued the federal government for failing to act on her decades-old report. She has also publicly recounted a disturbing 1995 encounter with Donald Trump in Epstein’s Manhattan office, which she urged investigators to include in their probe of Epstein’s social circle.
In this episode, we’re going back to April of 2022 for a conversation that’s as raw and revealing now as it was then—my interview with Maria Farmer. At the time, Maria was one of the only survivors publicly speaking out against the full machinery that protected Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She didn’t just name names—she challenged institutions, exposed failures, and pulled the curtain back on a cover-up that reached into finance, intelligence, and politics. This interview captures Maria at her most unfiltered, recounting her experiences, her warnings to the FBI that were ignored, and her insight into how deep the rot really goes.
