Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Emails Reveal Plan for Epstein to Own Majority Stake in Sarah Ferguson's Brand Post-Conviction
Caption: Emails Reveal Plan for Epstein to Own Majority Stake in Sarah Ferguson's Brand Post-Conviction. Documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice show Jeffrey Epstein's plan to hold a majority stake in Sarah Ferguson's brand, Mothers Army, after his 2008 child sex offence conviction. The business, aimed at amplifying the voices of mothers worldwide, was launched by Ferguson in 2009, but internal emails reveal Epstein’s proposed 51% equity ownership in the company. A 2009 email from Epstein’s associate outlines his role in Ferguson’s plans, including revenue from book deals, TV programs, and speaking engagements, with a projected $40,000 for a Michigan event. Despite Ferguson being the public face of the business, the email suggests Epstein would have controlled the majority of the company’s equity under the proposed business plan. Ferguson was slated to receive a $250,000 salary, while Epstein’s involvement extended to advising on the company’s public image and strategy, including choosing powerful women to represent Mothers Army. In 2010, Ferguson sought Epstein’s guidance on the brand, even asking him to help trademark Mothers Army in every category before her speech on female empowerment. Emails show Epstein’s continued involvement in Mothers Army plans, even as his criminal activities attracted more attention, ultimately halting his direct participation in the project. After Epstein's conviction became public, Ferguson sought to regain control of the domain names for Mothers Army, according to a reputation management firm email from 2011.
