An old alleged betrayal, a denial and a divorce announcement, the one between Bill and Melinda Gates, who arrived by surprise in early May. That the farewell between the two hides something more? To bring up the past (first) was the The Wall Street Journal, recalling that in 2019 the founder of Microsoft had resigned from the board of directors of the company to devote more time to his philanthropic activities. According to the magazine, things would have turned out differently. Guilty of having an affair with an employee, Gates would have been invited to resign from his staff.
Compared to the time of the facts, however, today new indiscretions have emerged. The The Wall Street Journal reports that Microsoft’s board of directors had hired an outside law firm to investigate the matter after an employee’s revelations. Gates would have resigned in March 2020. “There was actually a relationship almost 20 years ago that ended amicably. Bill’s decision to leave the Board was in no way related to this matter. He had expressed interest in dedicating more time to philanthropy several years earlier, ”said Bridgitt Arnold, spokesman for the tycoon, to People.
The lapse of time between this relationship and the latest family events would really seem to lead the reasons for the divorce elsewhere, too bad that the The New York Times has uncovered another issue. Gates allegedly “had questionable behavior in work-related contexts” e “On at least some occasions” he would go “in search of women who worked for him” both at Microsoft and at Bill e Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates spokesperson’s response is ready: “The allegation of employee maltreatment is false.”
Gates would never have been a sexual predator, “If this makes you uncomfortable, pretend it never happened”, allegedly wrote in an e-mail to one of the women involved, it is certain that recent publications are turning the spotlight again on the couple’s divorce, which came after 27 years of shared life.
The last thrust of the Times, heavy, concerns a close associate of Gates, the financial manager Michael Larson accused of sexual harassment in 2018. Bill Gates would have liked to settle the matter in a “confidential” way, his wife would not go down.
At this point the decision of the two to separate would not seem to have been determined only by the desire to take different paths after a life path that is now over. Melinda Gates would have started thinking about farewell already in 2019, very worried also because of the working relationship between her husband and Epstein. The “Wedding irremediably compromised”, at the root of the divorce request (filed by her) they may be hiding more than one skeleton in the closet.
