And I'm guessing she was also very unhappy about reports Bill Gates spent several evenings at Jeffery Epstein's house in New York:
The billionaire is also dogged by a relationship he started with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 after Epstein had served jail time for soliciting prostitution from a minor and was forced to register as a sex offender. The New York Times reported on the details of Gates and Epsteins relationship in 2019 after Epstein took his own life in prison. Several people familiar with their relationship said Gates went to Epsteins New York home at least three times and stayed late into the night on at least one occasion.

They should give it a little more time. They really need to get to know each other first.

I can not judge the person I raised children with as a human, nor they, me.
