Kennedy Jr. Maxwell, meanwhile, was known as a well-connected socialite with ties to high-profile figures in media, politics and royalty.<\/p>\n<p>Radziwill shared that Maxwell once helped facilitate an introduction to former\u00a0Prince Andrew, who is now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Winsor after recently losing his royal title due to his own ties to Epstein, for a magazine interview.<\/p>\n<p>Radziwill spoke with the former prince for her \u201cLunch Date\u201d column, a celebrity interview feature that she contributed to Glamour magazine in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>During her interview with the NYT, Radziwill said she and Maxwell went to events together. In one instance, she remembered attending a cocktail party at Maxwell\u2019s home where she recalled seeing Epstein, but said her friend never mentioned him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never knew\u00a0Jeffrey Epstein,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Raziwill said the renewed spotlight has meant revisiting a chapter of her life she says she had long since closed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Radziwill\u2019s name appeared in Epstein documents due to emails with Maxwell, but she denies wrongdoing. <span class=\"credit\">via REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to Radziwill, her relationship with Maxwell was social rather than deeply personal, and she has previously said that she was never privy nor did she witness any of the criminal activity for which her former friend would later be convicted.<\/p>\n<p>In December 2021, Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking of a minor and conspiracy to entice and transport minors for illegal sex acts. She was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison in June 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Epstein died in prison in August 2019 while facing federal\u00a0sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.<\/p>\n<p>As the Epstein scandal exploded into public view years later, Radziwill distanced herself from Maxwell and has since spoken about the unsettling realization that someone she once knew socially was involved in such serious crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Her comments to The New York Times echo similar statements she has made previously, in which she described her association with Maxwell as an example of how proximity to high-profile social circles can lead to unexpected and, in hindsight, troubling connections.<\/p>\n<p>The release of Epstein-related documents has ensnared a wide range of public figures, from politicians to celebrities, many of whom have stressed that being\u00a0named in the files\u00a0does not imply involvement in wrongdoing. Legal experts have similarly cautioned that the documents often reflect loose associations, such as being listed in an address book or mentioned in correspondence.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Raziwill said the renewed spotlight has meant revisiting a chapter of her life she says she had long since closed. <span class=\"credit\">GC Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Still, the renewed attention has forced those named, including Radziwill, to publicly reckon with past relationships that now carry a different weight.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Radziwill told the NYT that she is focused on moving forward, even as her name reenters the public conversation in connection with one of the most notorious scandals in recent memory.<\/p>\n<p>Radizwill explained that she sought solace from the advice of her late mother-in-law Lee Radziwill, who passed away in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe knew that part of being very, very public and very famous, like she was, was that people are going to misunderstand, and you had to be OK with that,\u201d Radziwill said. \u201cAnd for a very, very long time, I was not OK with it, but now I am. It\u2019s a really hard place to get to, but once you\u2019re there, it\u2019s, like, a peaceful feeling.
