The British newspaper is said to have scrutinized these allegations, using interviews with over a hundred people, as well as court and police records.

David Copperfield has faced several accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior in the past. One notable case involved a former Miss Washington USA, Lacey Carroll, who in 2007 accused Copperfield of sexually assaulting her on his private island in the Bahamas. The FBI investigated, but no charges were brought due to a lack of evidence and inconsistencies in Carroll‘s statements.

In 2018, Copperfield was again accused of inappropriate sexual behavior, but this time by a former model, Brittney Lewis, who claimed he drugged and assaulted her in 1988. At the time, she was just 17. Copperfield denied the accusations.

Copperfield ‘s spokesman responded to the new accusations by saying that the magician would consider his legal options. He also stressed the importance of differentiating between cases of real abuse and those he deems unfounded.

These recurring controversies have already tarnished Copperfield ‘s reputation in recent years.

Separated from the Microsoft founder for three years, Melinda French Gates shared in an emotional Instagram post her pride in the achievements of the Bill Gates Foundation she founded. Gates hailed the Foundation’s role as a global leader in the fight against inequality, and expressed her gratitude to the entire team and its partners around the world.

Gates said she had not taken the decision lightly, and expressed her enthusiasm for the work ahead, which will focus on families and women. She will have $12.5 billion, as part of an agreement with her ex-husband, to fund her efforts. Projects are expected to be announced shortly.

Bill Gates regrets his departure, but expressed confidence in the future impact of his philanthropic efforts. He also reaffirmed his determination to continue his foundation’s multi-faceted global strategies to improve people’s lives.

The Gates Foundation, which was established in 2000, has disbursed a staggering $76.6 billion since December 31, 2023. This makes it one of the world’s largest charitable organizations. The foundation has also played a major role in global health and development initiatives.

In addition to his contribution to the Foundation, French Gates founded Pivotal Ventures in 2015, an organization dedicated to creating professional opportunities, particularly in the technology sector, for minorities and women in the United States. The organization also works with women wishing to advance in politics. It also supports the creation of a modern care system for families, so that they can earn a better living while caring for themselves or their loved ones. These initiatives are a strong testimony to her commitment to empowering under-represented groups and promoting gender equality.

Bill and Melinda Gates’ philanthropic impact remains profound, even though their marriage of almost 30 years ended in divorce in 2021.
