Lady Victoria Hervey, the ex-girlfriend of Prince Andrew, claims that former President Bill Clinton and late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein were "like brothers."
Hervey, 45, was a close friend of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell for over two decades. Though the friendship lasted for so long, she claims that she was unaware of what was going on because she was "really young and naïve."
The claims from Hervey, the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol, were made in a newly released documentary titled Ghislaine, Prince Andrew and the Pedophile.
"Clinton was definitely very close to Jeffrey," Lady Hervey said in the film. "I don't know if you saw the paintings that were in Jeffrey Epstein's house? One of them being a portrait of Bill Clinton wearing the dress that Monica Lewinsky wore when they had the affair."
The well-connected socialite added, "so yeah, he was super close to Jeffrey Epstein. They were like brothers, you know, and he was close to Ghislaine as well."
Hervey also claimed that Epstein and Maxwell used her status as an "it" girl as "bait" to lure in young girls, the Washington Examiner reports. She explained that there was a similar motivation for the group hanging around with Prince Andrew.
"Prince Andrew was a son of the Queen of England. Americans love that. Jeffery loved that. Bill Clinton loved that," according to Hervey.
Hervey said that she does not think that Epstein would have been as successful with his efforts to lure in young girls without Maxwell, comparing them to "Batman and Robin."
“I don't think Jeffrey could have done any of it without Ghislaine," she said. "It was kind of like a Batman and Robin, and they were a double act."
Though Maxwell was a prominent guest at Chelsea Clinton's wedding, the former president has claimed that he was not very close to Epstein.
Prince Andrew was recently barred from using the title of "Royal Highness" over his involvement in the Epstein scandal.
A representative for Clinton previously told the New York Post that the former president “knows nothing about the serious crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to.” The paper reports that they also claimed the men met only a "handful of times," and that Clinton “not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade” prior to his death.
