Bryant has had a busy morning fielding reactions from people involved withJeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich.
Speaking more personally, Bryant said she thinks the arrest “is the right move.”
“I’d like to see her brought to trial.
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
Why aren’t they getting Ghislaine?'
I hope that that might have put pressure on the FBI to act quickly.”
Epstein was arrested last summer on charges of abusing dozens of underage girls and committed suicide in August.
“I was surprised actually,” she said.
“I thought perhaps she was hiding out in a place she would be safe from extradition.
The director added, “She should be worried that she could be behind bars for a long time.
And the other co-conspirators should also be very worried that they might be next to be arrested.”
On Thursday, the director noted more content is indeed possible.
“Things are so fluid right now,” she said.
“We haven’t had time to talk about anything.
I’m certainly not going to rule it out.
There’s definitely talk of adding more content to Netflix’s social media websites.”
