Ferguson’s past association with Epstein continues to linger, and those close to her suggest she understands she cannot remain silent forever. Still, she is not rushing into anything. Sources say she is “thinking things over very carefully” to avoid a repeat of the disastrous “Maitlis scenario” that destroyed her former husband’s standing.
In 2019, Andrew agreed to the now-infamous Newsnight interview in hopes of clearing his name. Advisors believed it might rebuild public trust. Instead, it backfired spectacularly and became one of the most damaging moments of his life.
Advisors Believe It Could Be “Make or Break”
Despite the risks, even members of her own team acknowledge that a televised interview could help stabilise her situation.
“She and her team know a televised interview would be make or break for her in terms of salvaging her reputation. It would also give her the chance to spell out the fact she knew nothing about what Epstein and his associates were doing,” the source told The Sun.
They added: “Andrew has had his chances to tell his story. Now it’s Fergie’s time.”
