Jeffrey Epstein Thanked During Grammys 2021 Speech, Seemingly By Accident
Everyone was shocked when a 2021 Grammys acceptance speech featured a shout out to disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in jail. He was incarcerated for the alleged sex trafficking of minor girls dating back to the 2000s.
The Grammys Premiere Ceremony started less than an hour ago to kick off the awards show, where dozens of awards are handed out before the biggest night in music even starts.
While accepting in the “Best Music Film” category, Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice, the producer (pictured here) accepting the award made a huge mistake. Those credited for the film are named Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman. It appears as if the person accepting the award combined Rob and Jeffrey‘s names to create the major faux pas.
