Michael Ovitz Storms Out of Deposition After Being Asked About Jeffrey Epstein [View all]

“I’m not going to discuss anything about Jeffrey Epstein,” he said. “You can ask all the questions you want — you’re going to get no answers.”

A few moments later, he announced, “I’m done with this,” removed his microphone, walked out of the room, slammed the door, and left the building.

Ormond’s attorneys are now seeking to have Ovitz held in contempt and that an arrest warrant be issued to ensure that he completes the deposition.

“Ovitz has no plausible defense for his contemptuous conduct,” wrote Ormond’s attorney, Meredith Firetog, in a motion for sanctions.

Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein at Royal Lodge, the prince's private home in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

The trio visited the Windsor mansion as part of his daughter Beatrice's masked ball 18th birthday celebrations in 2006, two months after a US arrest warrant had been issued for Epstein for the sexual assault of a minor.

It had previously been reported that Epstein, Maxwell and Weinstein visited Windsor Castle for the event, but not that they had been hosted at Andrew's private home.

Andrew, who is facing increased scrutiny over his living arrangements in light of his relationship with Epstein, has not responded to a request for comment.
