A lot of ugly secrets have emerged about Bill Gates.
His public reputation has slipped dramatically.
And things are going to get even worse for him after this reporter made some nasty allegations.
Bill Gates has made it his mission to remake the modern world in his image, but he should probably clean up his own life first.
Some ugly secrets have spilled out about his behaviors that have tarnished his reputation, and his main focus should be on trying to clean that up.
The first thing that came out was his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, an unusually close one that apparently led to his wife Melinda Gates leaving him.
While a separation like that is always a tragic thing, it’s clear that he was engaged in some very questionable activities that preceded it.
Now a reporter in a new book about Gates is saying that he made some women feel very uncomfortable during his time at Microsoft.
It would probably be best at this point for Gates to put aside his attempts to “save the world” and instead focus on making things right in his personal life.
According to Breitbart, “A new book by New York Times journalist Anupreeta Das reveals intimate details of creepy Bill Gates’ relationships with women, claiming he was like a ‘kid in a candy store’ with young Microsoft interns.”
“The Daily Mail reports that in the upcoming book Billionaire, Nerd, Savior, King: Bill Gates and His Quest to Shape Our World, author Anupreeta Das delves into the private life of Microsoft founder Bill Gates, exposing his alleged infidelities and inappropriate relationships with women. The book claims that Gates’ behavior left his wife, Melinda, ‘seething for a long time’ and ultimately led to the end of their 27-year marriage.”
No one is perfect, but Gates still has not apologized for his relationship to Epstein, or for this behavior. He has said that he “regrets” spending time with Epstein, but then tried to downplay it.
Contrition has to precede forgiveness, and Gates has not publicly shown contrition for any of these activities.
The article continues, “According to Das, Gates was known to flirt with women and pursue them, even making unwanted advances towards Microsoft employees. The book alleges that young interns at the Gates Foundation were put in uncomfortable positions when Gates hit on them, with one colleague even chastising a person for sending a 22-year-old intern to Gates’ office alone. Das writes that Gates’ approaches to women were ‘clumsy rather than predatory,’ and while he did not ‘prey on’ women or ask for sex in exchange for career advancement, he displayed a ‘certain naivete in his interactions with women, mistaking engaged conversation for mutual interest.’”
It’s clear that at least in the case of these Microsoft employees, Gates was not acting like a Harvey Weinstein-level monster.
But it’s another example of him acting inappropriately nonetheless, and it’s something he should take a step back and address instead of continuing with his “save the world” campaign.
