Emails Reveal Epstein Recruited Women for NY Giants Co-Owner Tisch
Newly released emails have revealed troubling connections between convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Tisch, the chairman and co-owner of the New York Giants. These communications, sent in 2013, were part of over three million documents made public by the Department of Justice.
Key Findings from Epstein’s Correspondence
The emails suggest that Epstein played a role in connecting Tisch with multiple women. The discussions between the two included assessing whether women were “pro or civilian” or engaged in “working girl” activities. Tisch’s email address, “gumptower,” likely references the film “Forrest Gump,” which he produced.

The correspondence also highlighted the possibility of women seeking acting opportunities through Tisch. One woman mentioned her plans to meet Tisch for dinner, expressing hopes of auditioning for upcoming films.
Tickets to NFL Games and Caribbean Invitations
In September 2013, Tisch offered Epstein tickets to Giants games, indicating a level of personal rapport. Epstein also extended an invitation for Tisch to visit his private Caribbean island, although it remains unclear if Tisch accepted any of these offers.
Responses from the Involved Parties
Tisch did not respond to multiple outreach attempts via phone, text, and email. Additionally, a spokesperson for the Giants offered no immediate comment. Attempts to contact women referenced in the emails yielded no responses.
These revelations contribute to an alarming narrative surrounding Epstein’s influence and connections with high-profile individuals, shedding light on the complex intersections between power and misconduct. Epstein passed away by suicide in August 2019 while awaiting trial for federal sex trafficking charges.
