The Epstein list which has been creating a huge stir in Hollywood, has reportedly found a connection to Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio. The list which is a set of unsealed documents that were released over the years, detailed sensational information of disgraced millionaire financier and s*x offender Jeffrey Epstein’s revelations on the supposedly nefarious involvement of many Hollywood stars in s*x scandals.
While Epstein died by suicidal hanging in 2019, these documents continued to drag many celebrities like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, Kevin Spacey, Michael Jackson, and others who the millionaire deemed, were guilty of various offences. Now, in the latest set of documents released in public, Titanic star Leonardo DiCaprio’s name has also allegedly been thrown into the mix. Despite this controversy attached to the Oscar winner, DiCaprio fans still had something to cheer about with his latest honor at a prestigious awards ceremony.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Name Featured In The Epstein List
Leonardo DiCaprio is the latest celebrity to be dragged into the chaos caused by the Epstein list. According to the latest set of unsealed documents that were released, The Revenant star along with Cate Blanchett have been named by one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, Johanna Sjoberg.
Unlike other celebrities like Bill Clinton whose name supposedly appears 73 times in the documents although not for any illegal activity, Sjoberg’s testimony implied that she had never met DiCaprio in person at any time. In a quote from her that appeared in the New York Post, it was through Epstein’s boastful confessions about his connections with celebrities that she heard mentions about the actor.
“I did not meet them, no. When I spoke about them, it was when I was massaging him, and he would get off — he would be on the phone a lot at that time, and one time he said, ‘Oh, that was Leonardo,’ or, ‘That was Cate Blanchett,’ or Bruce Willis. That kind of thing,”
Die-hard DiCaprio fans will be breathing a sigh of relief on learning that their favorite star’s reputation has remained intact despite being thrown into controversy.
Leonardo DiCaprio Honored At Palm Springs
Despite getting an infamous mention in the controversial Epstein list, Leonardo DiCaprio’s year is already looking promising. Fresh off a big success with his performance in Killers of the Flower Moon, the Oscar winner was honored this week for his achievements along with his co-star Lily Gladstone at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards.
Both DiCaprio and Gladstone were personally invited to the star-studded event, and were presented with the Vanguard award which is an honor bestowed upon the cast and director of any exemplary film of the year. Killers of the Flower Moon follows the story of the Osage Native American tribe of Osage County, Oklahoma, whose members are murdered after oil is found on their land.
This intense and powerful revival of the American western directed by Martin Scorsese is tipped to be one of the frontrunners this awards season. DiCaprio’s performance could also see him getting nominated for an acting honor.
