170 names to be revealed with alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein
Fox News' Eric Shawn reports on the approved release of names allegedly affiliated with Jeffrey Epstein on ‘Special Report.’
Leonardo DiCaprio, Bruce Willis and Michael Jackson are among the A-list celebrities' names that appear in a trove of newly released documents relating to Virginia Giuffre's lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's former lover and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
Epstein had many high-profile connections, including former U.S. presidents, foreign prime ministers and Britain's Prince Andrew, as well as Hollywood stars, leading academics, people in the modeling and fashion industries and other public figures. Some of the names were previously known through other means despite having been withheld from the public eye in the lawsuit.
Many of the names belong to people who have not been accused of wrongdoing.
The celebrities who appear in the court docs, obtained by Fox News Digital, were mentioned by Giuffre and another alleged Epstein victim, Johanna Sjoberg.

Here's a look at the celebrities mentioned in the 40 documents so far:
Naomi Campbell
In a deposition dated May 3, 2016, Giuffre described going on foreign trips with Maxwell and Epstein, including several trips to France. On one trip to southern France, Giuffre claimed she had sexual contact with Maxwell before attending a birthday party for supermodel Naomi Campbell.
"We were going to Naomi Campbell's birthday party," Giuffre clarified in her deposition. "[The sexual encounter] wasn't at the birthday party."
In 2019, Campbell explained that she did know Epstein and that she had been introduced to him through her ex-boyfriend, Flavio Briatore.

"What he's done is indefensible," Campbell said in a video uploaded to YouTube. "And when I heard what he had done, it sickened me to my stomach just like everybody else, because I've had my fair share of sexual predators, and thank God that I had good people around me that protected me from this. Right now, I stand with the victims. I can't — you know. They're scarred for life. For life."
Campbell was responding to photos of herself with Epstein saying, "I find it extraordinary that of all the hundreds of thousands of people that I've stood next to to take a picture at a public event, they've only chosen these few."
She later added, "The frightening conclusion here, is that if the negative action of your neighbor, colleague, or even an associate can somehow make you guilty too, simply by association, then we indeed live in very worrying times. This affects us all. It's wrong, it's unfair and it must be stopped."
A representative for Campbell did not respond to Fox News Digital's immediate request for comment.

"I did not meet them, no," Sjoberg claimed when asked. "When I spoke about them, it was when I was massaging [Epstein], and he would get off — he would be on the phone a lot at that time, and one time he said, Oh, that was Leonardo, or, that was Cate Blanchett or Bruce Willis. That kind of thing."
Sjoberg noted that Epstein was "name-dropping" the celebrities and that she had not met any of them.
Later, she was also asked whether she had met Cameron Diaz — to which she responded, "No."
