In a disturbing revelation from inside Donald Trump’s luxurious Mar-a-Lago, former staffers disclose that teenage spa workers were regularly sent alone to Jeffrey Epstein’s nearby mansion for private massages and services—even though Epstein wasn’t a paying member, yet Trump instructed employees to treat him like VIP royalty. Whispers of alarm spread quietly among the young women, warning each other about Epstein’s sexually suggestive remarks and outright incidents of indecent exposure during appointments. This risky pipeline persisted for years, fueling quiet dread, until 2003 when an 18-year-old beautician returned shaken, reporting that Epstein had pressured her for sex. That brave complaint finally triggered his quiet ban from spa access—but no police were ever notified. As survivors demand answers, outrage builds: How many red flags were ignored to protect a predator, and what dangers lingered in the shadows of elite privilege?
A troubling investigation has uncovered how teenage spa workers at Donald Trump’s luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort were regularly dispatched alone to Jeffrey Epstein’s nearby Palm Beach mansion for private massages and beauty services, despite quiet whispers of alarm spreading among the young women about the financier’s sexually suggestive remarks and outright incidents of indecent exposure during appointments. Former staffers, speaking to The Wall Street Journal in a report published December 30, 2025, described a risky practice that persisted for years, fueling dread among employees.
Epstein was never a paying member of the exclusive club, yet former employees recall Trump instructing staff to treat him like VIP royalty. Epstein maintained an internal spa account, with appointments primarily booked by his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Young female workers—typically licensed cosmetologists or massage therapists, some still teenagers—were sent on house calls to his estate just two miles away. Staff informally warned each other about Epstein’s inappropriate behavior, including exposure during sessions.
This pipeline directly contributed to Epstein’s predatory activities. In 2000, Maxwell recruited 16-year-old Virginia Giuffre, then a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago, offering her work as a massage therapist for Epstein—a role Giuffre later alleged led to years of sexual abuse and trafficking. The Journal also identified four additional former Mar-a-Lago employees in Epstein’s FBI-seized 2009 address book. Concerns about Epstein dated back to the mid-1990s, when Trump’s then-wife, Marla Maples, reportedly warned staff and her husband that something felt “off” about him.
The practice ended abruptly in 2003 when an 18-year-old beautician returned shaken from a house call, reporting to managers that Epstein had pressured her for sex. A manager faxed the complaint to Trump, who reportedly described it as “a good letter” and ordered Epstein and Maxwell barred from spa services. However, former employees and Palm Beach authorities confirmed the allegation was never reported to police. Local law enforcement only began investigating Epstein two years later, following a separate complaint involving a 14-year-old girl.
The White House has dismissed the Journal’s reporting as “fallacies and innuendo” aimed at smearing Trump. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that “President Trump did nothing wrong and he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for being a creep,” while noting that Trump’s Justice Department continues releasing Epstein-related documents.
Survivors’ advocates have voiced outrage over the years of ignored warnings and the failure to notify authorities about the 2003 incident, arguing that elite institutions like Mar-a-Lago enabled Epstein’s crimes by prioritizing access for influential figures. The revelations emerge amid ongoing Justice Department disclosures of Epstein materials under the 2025 transparency law, with critics highlighting persistent redactions and delays.
This account exposes a pattern of overlooked red flags in an environment of privilege and power, where young workers’ safety often took a backseat to accommodating high-profile guests. It highlights the systemic challenges in protecting vulnerable employees and ensuring accountability when wealth and connections shield misconduct.
