Hulu series on Les Wexner of Ohio State fame & Secret Secret is on the way

[irisblue]

If you live in Columbus, you know how wrapped up Wexner was in C-bus politics& OSU. From his wiki- page-On February 10, 2012, Ohio State University Medical Center officially changed its name to the Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University. The Wexner Center for the Arts are fast examples. We all know how big a power player he was in the late 80s till 2020s.
I dated a real estate lawyer in the 90s, we both thought he was a quiet down low gay man, not wrapped up with a pedophile

Hulu is doing a documentary on him, this is a copy pasta from the DVD group.
Talks about his close ties to Jeffery Epstein.

snip-"Wexner's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was unusually close
"When Leslie Wexner met Jeffrey Epstein, he apparently remarked that Jeffrey Epstein was so exciting, that Epstein was everything that Les Wexner thought was lacking in Ohio," said Barry Levine, author of "The Spider: Inside the Criminal Web of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell."

snip-" In 1991, Wexner did something that Washington Post reporter Sarah Ellison has never seen in all of her years of reporting. He granted full power of attorney to Epstein, giving Epstein control over his assets.

"He managed his investments, he managed his businesses," Ellison said in the documentary. "There wasn't a part of Wexner's empire that Epstein didn't have access to and didn't have some ability to control. To give carte blanche to someone, the way he did with Epstein, is such a puzzle."

snip-Epstein, who once posed as a Victoria's Secret recruiter, even placed an ad in The Dispatch one year when Wexner and his wife, Abigail, needed a nanny at their New Albany home.

"What it implied to me was that he may have managed the money but clearly, Epstein was deeply involved in the personal lives of Abigail and Les," Fedus-Fields said.

Wexner is one of Columbus dirty secrets.

1. Popping my popcorn right now.

When I moved to Columbus in 1977, I lived next door to Limited headquarters, in Whitehall, at East Main and Hamilton. It was one building, just about the size of a Target store. Next thing I know, he’s buying New Albany. Yeah..I’ve always wanted to know what the real story with this guy is. It can’t be good.

2. I know, right. How does this guy purchase a whole town.

Amazing.

3. I grew up in Whitehall

I completely forgot the Limited headquarters were there. Your comment just jolted my brain. I do recall when he bought New Albany and the house he had built there with crazy security. I think folks in Cbus were surprised when he married Abigail and they had children-if you know what I mean. I fondly recall shopping at Madison’s and The Limited at Town and Country. I do agree with you that there had to be a lot of no good going on behind the scenes.
