Bruce Willis, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Cate Blanchett are just a few of the celebrities that Epstein likes to boast of knowing, although the document provides no evidence that the actor even knew him.
Sjoberg stated in her deposition that Epstein would talk about having phone conversations with movie stars.

“I saw a newspaper report that said you had met Cate Blanchett or Leonardo DiCaprio?” Attorney Ghislane Maxwell asked Sjoberg. He replied, “I didn’t meet them, no … When I talk about them, it’s when I’m massaging [Epstein], and he would come down—he would call a lot during that time, and one time he would say, ‘Oh, that’s Leonardo,’ or, ‘That’s Cate Blanchett,’ or Bruce Willis. Things like that.”
Sjoberg claimed in her deposition that it was Epstein “dropping the names” of the stars and that she would remember if she ever met any of them.
Maxwell’s attorney further asked if Sjoberg had met actress Cameron Diaz, to which he replied “no.”

“Did you meet anyone famous while you were with Jeffrey?” he was asked. “I met Michael Jackson … at [Epstein’s] house in Palm Beach,” Sjoberg replied.
He was then asked if he ever “massaged” Jackson, to which he replied that he replied, “I didn’t.”
In his 2020 book, Brad Edwards, a lawyer who battled Epstein and his associates for years, detailed Jackson’s visit.
follow Daily Beast, he wrote“For a young woman like Johanna, the fact that there are stars who are friends with Jeffrey and Ghislaine is a wonderful bonus for the job.”
The lawyer added, “Even the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson, was enough of an acquaintance of Epstein to visit him in Palm Beach while Johanna was working there.”

Another big name on the list is famous magician David Copperfield. Sjoberg, in his statement, claimed that he saw the illusionist at dinner with the late sex offender, adding that he performed “some magic tricks.”
“Did you see David Copperfield being a friend of Jeffrey Epstein?” Sjoberg was questioned, to which he answered in the affirmative.
Sjoberg was also asked if the illusionists “ever discussed Jeffrey’s involvement with young girls with him”. “He asked me if I was aware that girls were paid to find other girls,” she replied.
Sjoberg added in the deposition that Copperfield withheld specific details from him about that question. He was also asked, “Did he say whether they were teenagers or 20, anything along those lines?” he replied that illusionists don’t.

Former President Clinton was also named and linked to activities considered highly controversial.
According to Sjoberg’s testimony, Epstein once told her that Clinton liked “younger” girls. Meanwhile, Giuffre’s unpublished memoirs, cited in court papers, claim that the former president was an attendee without his wife at one of Epstein’s parties on his island. At the party, he reportedly showed off his “naughty provocative side.”
“It’s not a big party like that, just a few of us eating at the dining table,” Giuffre said. “There’s Jeffrey leading all of that, as usual. On the left is Emmy, Ghislaine, and me, and sitting across the table from us is Bill with two beautiful girls visiting from New York.”
He added, “Teasing the girls on both sides with playful pranks and rude comments, there’s no decency between them.”
Giuffre’s claims about Clinton eating on Epstein’s island have since been refuted by Maxwell in a deposition.

However, Trump later claimed that they had “fallen”. The presidential hopeful also once stated that he was “not a fan” of Epstein.
Before they fell out, the billionaire mogul allegedly took several trips on Epstein’s jet. Sjoberg’s testimony in the unsealed document revealed that Epstein had also visited Trump’s casino.
“Good, we’re going to call Trump, and we’re going to—I don’t remember the name of the casino, but—we’re going to the casino,” Sjoberg said of Epstein’s conversation while flying on his private jet from Palm Beach to Atlantic City.

Giuffre previously accused the disgraced monarch of “sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress,” and the case was later privately settled for an alleged $14 million without an admission of liability. Despite photos showing him with Giuffre during his teenage years, Andrew has consistently maintained his innocence.
Additionally, the prince faced accusations that Sjoberg groped him during a photo shoot with him, Maxwell, and Giuffre at Epstein’s Mansion in New York. Sjoberg claimed in her deposition that Maxwell had taken a doll with Andrew’s likeness out of the closet before taking the photo.
“They decided to take a picture with him, where Virginia and Andrew were sitting on the couch,” Sjoberg said as part of his testimony in Giuffre vs. Maxwell (2015).
“They put the doll on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap, and they put the doll’s hand on Virginia’s breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast, and they took a picture.”
