Jeffrey Epstein documents: Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz named. How have they reacted?
Hollywood stars including Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz have been named in the newly-released legal documents linked to the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Their names have been mentioned only once in the expansive documents, spanning hundreds of pages. However, all three have issued a personal denial of any involvement in the case.
