Bill Gates' friendship with Jeffrey Epstein led to his divorce with Melinda Gates?

Melinda Gates might have initiated the divorce processings from husband Bill Gates due to his questionable character.

Although Bill Gates is widely known as a respectable Tech giant and a philanthropist at heart, in many cliques the billionaire is known for suspicious dealings in work-related settings.

In 2019, Bill Gates stepped of the Microsoft Board of directors after an open investigation of alleged workplace misconduct against a female employee in 2000.

According to Frank X. Shaw, a Microsoft spokesman, Gates “sought to initiate an intimate relationship with a company employee in the year 2000."

The Board however says that Gates' stepping down had nothing to do with the harassment case.

“There was an affair almost 20 years ago which ended amicably,” said Bridgitt Arnold, a spokeswoman for Mr. Gates. “Gates’s decision to transition off the board was in no way related to this matter.”

Not only this, but Bill Gates is also famous for his ties and friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, a man famous for sex trafficking and solicit to prostitution from a minor. 

Although their friendship was disapproved by Melinda, Mr. Gates continued his involvement with Epstein and according to people who were at or briefed on gatherings with the two men.
