Barry Josephson has opened up publicly after emails linking him to Jeffrey Epstein were released in newly unsealed Justice Department documents.
The veteran Hollywood producer addressed the situation and admitted that he regrets his past contact with Epstein.
Josephson, who worked as an executive producer on Bones, shared that he was embarrassed by the language used in some of the emails.
In a statement, he said: “There is no excuse for what I said in some of my emails… the language was crude and childish, and I am ashamed.”
She explained that she had social contact with Epstein years ago and this included attending events and having him visit a television set.
However, Josephson made it clear that he never traveled with Epstein, never went to his private island and never saw him around minors.
The producer went on to add that his biggest mistake was believing Epstein when he denied any wrongdoing.
“What I regret most, without exception, is having foolishly believed their denials of wrongdoing,” he said.
He went on to say that Epstein’s powerful connections influenced his judgment at the time.
Additionally, the emails were released as part of a broad transparency effort that has renewed attention on Epstein’s network.
Josephson said he apologizes “to everyone who was hurt by this clearly terrible and depraved individual” and emphasized that he never knowingly supported or participated in Epstein’s crimes.
As more documents continue to emerge, the focus remains on accountability.
