Misse Beqiri is the name of the Albanian model mentioned in the files of Jeffrey Epstein, the American financier who committed suicide in prison in 2019 on charges of sex crimes.
The 39-year-old, who has been a household name in the UK for several years, has recently been mentioned in the British media after her name appeared in files released by US authorities. According to reports, Epstein had offered Beqiri a private jet ride to join him in Paris. The billionaire had asked to be accompanied by the model at Fashion Week.
Epstein even offered Misse a Mercedes worth £100. This happened after they met in 2011. According to the communications, the pair were introduced through a mutual friend. Misse, now 39, was shocked when she saw Epstein's seven-story mansion. She thought he could help her career. The two met just a few months after Epstein spent 13 months in prison and a year of house arrest, following his initial 2008 conviction for exploiting a child for prostitution.
After the publication, according to sources who spoke to "The Sun", the model is shocked that her name has appeared in these files.
"She was completely shocked to see her name mentioned. She was very young when she met him and didn't know who he was. Of course she was amazed by his flattery, but it never came to fruition. She was a young model trying to make a career for herself. She had been promised contracts by him, so she enjoyed the relationship with him at first. But now she regrets it. She feels horrified for the victims and believes justice must be served. She knows she did nothing wrong, she just met him. He was after her, not her. And everyone who knows her knows the truth," a source told The Sun.
