The recent release of millions of documents by the U.S. Department of Justice regarding Jeffrey Epstein has stirred considerable controversy. Among the notable names mentioned is comedian Bobby Slayton, who appears multiple times in the documents. However, there are no allegations of criminal activity against him.
Details of the DOJ Release
On Friday, the DOJ shared over 2,400 files connected to Epstein, making them publicly searchable. Although Slayton’s name is referenced multiple times, officials have reassured the public that inclusion in these documents does not imply wrongdoing.
Communications and Context
One notable communication attributed to Slayton includes a cryptic message sent to Epstein. The message mentions sending a photo of a young woman, accompanied by phrases like “My Grief Counselor” and “Super Jew… call me when awake.” Additionally, the phrase “ALOT of pizza” was included. Unfortunately, the files lack context or dates regarding these communications.
Public Reaction and Speculation
The release of these documents has led to significant backlash against Slayton on social media platforms, particularly on X. Critics have highlighted the association, with one user describing it as “disgusting.” Speculation has also arisen around the repeated mention of “pizza,” with some suggesting it could be coded language, although law enforcement has not confirmed such interpretations.
Connections to Other Figures
Social media discussions have drawn attention to past dinner gatherings involving Slayton, Epstein, filmmaker Woody Allen, and Soon-Yi Previn. Comedian Lewis Black recounted in a recent interview with OK! Magazine that he dined at Epstein’s Manhattan home years before Epstein’s criminal activities became public knowledge. Black clarified that he was invited by Slayton and had no prior knowledge of Epstein’s illicit actions.
Independent Archives and the Black Book
Additionally, independent online archives have revealed that Slayton’s name appears in Epstein’s contact book. Historically referred to as the “black book,” this list has been noted by experts as a mere record of contacts and is not indicative of illegal conduct.
Conclusion: No Criminal Charges Against Slayton
As of now, Bobby Slayton has not faced any charges or formal accusations related to Epstein’s crimes. The DOJ has reiterated that these documents are raw materials and continue to be scrutinized.
