Alan Ritchson, star of Reacher, has been coming after those named in the Epstein files during the press cycle for his new movie Motor City. Now the White House has responded. “Just as President Trump has said, he’s been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. “And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee’s subpoena request, signing the Epstein files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein’s victims than anyone before him.”
Ritchson has been talking about the Epstein files across podcasts. On the Happy Sad Confused pod, he said Dax Shepard told him to “let some of that stuff go,” in reference sex traffickers operating at the highest levels of power. “I’m like, ‘Let go?’” Ritchson said. Everybody else should feel like I feel … all mad about the way things are and the abuses that are happening. The Epstein files? The fucking Epstein files! God damn it! Where are they? It’s a fucking law, bitch! Show it, you fucking pedophiles!” Ritchson then apologized for swearing, because it’s not very Christian of him.
“Don’t you want to see what’s in there, so that we can hold people accountable? These fucking rapists! We’re just cool with it? That bitch has the keys to the nuclear [weapons,]” Ritchson continued, alluding to but not naming the president. “He’s all up into 13-year-olds. Dude, what? Go to jail. Go to jail.” This is not the first time Ritchson has spoken out about systemic sexual abuse. He has come forward as as survivor, and called the modeling world “legalized sex trafficking.” Ritchson’s episode of Armchair Expert isn’t out yet, but we can probably expect a few more f-bombs.
