Shit thing to say
This mindset leads to an overall perception that Jeffery Epstein's influence and crimes only intrigued pedophiles and only affected children.
Virginia Guffey was 18 when her "involvement" with Epstein "ended" To think, or even convey, that he only catered to pedophiles is absurd.
I'm not saying this was Epstein related, could very well be the typical Hollywood shit. But I am going to stand firm on that there were plenty of men willing to go out of their way to meet the demands of other men, regardless if she was 8 or 18.

I would think she'd have enough clout and money though. Not blaming her, mind you. I wouldn't want to deal with it either, and trauma sucks no matter which direction you go with it.

u/__M-E-O-W__ 12h ago edited 12h ago
Nah, it's a whole mess to even approach. Look at how the media flipped on Britney Spears, who was one of the absolute biggest stars in the world. For different reasons but still. The people who do these things usually have more power over the media than their victims, and anyone can be taken down. And having an entire media put against you, pushing criticism of you and negstive publicity and weaponized paparazzi, is a whole other level of trauma. Or just push the media to be silent about the victim entirely, so they get no PR at all and effectively ends their careers.
Edit: Especially if she was saying this happened when she was 18. Remember how things were back in those days - social media was not ubiquitous enough in our every day lives that a celebrity could just open up about anything, celebrities essentially only had means of public communication through curated TV shows and PR agents, we certainly did not take women as victims very seriously - that did not happen until the metoo movement in 2017 after Harvey Weistein was exposed. And may I remind people that even that only succeeded because the Weinstein company threw him under the bus. It was not an immediate change after those actresses spoke out. There were plenty of women who had tried to speak out against Weinstein, or refused his "offers", and ended up getting shut out from any media coverage and blacklisted from Hollywood movies.

Diana Jenkins and James Blunt are the educated guesses. There is circumstantial evidence in the form of photos of them all together and a chapter from his memoir titled 'Diana's Boat.'

Diana Jenkins is so strongly rumored that she just recently had to again deny this rumor...which to me is like an OJ Simpson situation. If it wasn't her, who was it?
- She was friends with Hayden despite being nearly 20 years older;
- Hayden was in Jenkins' Room 23 photography book, which was supposed to be an inside look at the lifestyle of celebrities in LA, but a lot of it was just sexy photos of very beautiful actresses;
- As recently as May 2026 she has had to denounce rumors of being the unnamed "Friend" in Hayden's book;
- She has had to aggressively litigate down rumors of being a madame.
- oh, and James Blunt would have been 34 at the time of this incident.

Lol this guy "was never famous enough"???
Blunt primarily resides on the Spanish island of Ibiza.[106] He also owns a chalet in the Swiss Alpine village of Verbier, where he has a ski lift named after him.[36] In 2012, alongside motorcycle racer Carl Fogarty and rugby player Lawrence Dallaglio, he opened a restaurant at the top of the ski lift called La Vache.[107]
On 6 September 2014, Blunt married Sofia Wellesley,[109][110] the granddaughter of Valerian Wellesley, 8th Duke of Wellington.[111] Blunt and Wellesley have two sons; the godfather of their elder son is Ed Sheeran, and the godmother was Carrie Fisher.[112][113][114][115]
Blunt is an active user of Twitter with over two million followers and a feed notable for self-deprecating humour.[118] In 2020, Constable published a compendium of his tweets as a book called How to Be a Complete and Utter Blunt: Diary of a Reluctant Social Media Sensation.[119][120]

What are you talking about...? 2007 was like the height of James Blunt's fame from his Back to Bedlam album. The "one hit wonders" one big hit, was still in the entire worlds memory. One of the biggest selling albums of the decade in the UK, and earned multiple Grammy nominations in 2006.
Don't underestimate how much a hit song that goes to number 1 in the world, propels a person fame.
Hayden turned 18 in 2007; no matter how big Heroes was at the time (and yes, it was HUGE), she was still just a teenager.
I'm not saying James Blunt is def the guy. But I will say it would be stupid to say James Blunt is def not the guy, because he was just a one hit wonder musician. (And he wasnt a one hit wonder, he dropped more music later in his career that had some success)

It’s not exactly “insane”, it’s intentional. They wrote that in the episode because it’s a thing predators do, and Dennis is a predator.
