"Michael Ovitz, the cofounder of powerhouse Los Angeles talent agency Creative Artists Agency and a prolific tech investor, effusively praised Jeffrey Epstein and made arrangements to meet him at his New York home and off the coast of St. Barts, newly released files reveal. The disgraced financier invited Ovitz to his private Caribbean island in 2012 and said he knew Ovitz "well" in emails to a Microsoft executive and his publicist, Peggy Siegal."
"In 2013, Ovitz emailed Epstein, lauding his "outstanding multiple talents," with Epstein emailing Ovitz, "great to see you smiling again," later that year. A spokesperson for Ovitz denied that he was on anything more than cordial terms with Epstein. "Mr. Ovitz and Mr. Epstein did not know each other well, no matter what Mr. Epstein said to Peggy Siegal. They had very limited interaction and correspondence," a spokesperson for Ovitz told Business Insider."
