Roommates, new details about Bill Gates’ involvement with Jeffrey Epstein just dropped. Bill is spilling his own tea and clearing the air after 2013 emails surfaced showing that Epstein sent messages to himself claiming Bill was his “right hand.” During a recent town hall with his foundation, the Microsoft co-founder called it a “huge mistake” to spend time with the convicted sex offender. He also admitted to cheating on his ex-wife Melinda Gates with not one, but two women while they were married. Whew! Grab a seat, Roomies we’ve got a lot to unpack!

Bill Gates Spills Tea On His Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein

In the emails from 2013, Jeffrey Epstein bragged that he and Bill had a solid relationship. He even claimed that Bill took part in things that were “ethically unsound.” Now, Gates’ reps are shutting that down and calling Epstein’s claims “absurd” and “completely false.” Bill actually addressed the accusations himself, noting that he “did nothing illicit and saw nothing illicit.” He added that when he met with Jeffrey, he never stayed overnight with him or spent time with any of his victims, per The Wall Street Journal. However, per NBC News, the investor did admit that he flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet and spent time with him in Washington, New York, Germany, and France. He also said other high-profile people would show up to their meetings, which made it “easier” for him to the view the whole situation as somewhat normal. Gates started meeting with Epstein in 2011, three years after Epstein plead guilty in 2008 to soliciting a minor for prostitution. Gates claimed he was unaware of the charges at the time and continued meeting with him.

“It was a huge mistake to spend time with Epstein.” Gates added, “I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made.”

Bill Confessing To Cheating On Melinda During Their Marriage

Gates didn’t hold back on opening about his past. He kept it real about cheating with two women while he was married to Melinda. Bill and Melinda tied the knot in 1994 and spent 27 years together until they finalized their divorce in 2021. According to CNBC, Gates admitting to having an affair with a Russian bridge player and a Russian nuclear physicist, but he alleges that neither of them were Epstein’s victims.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Alleged 2013 Emails Spill Shocking Claims About Bill Gates

Although Bill Gates is telling his side, alleged 2013 emails that Jeffrey Epstein reportedly sent to himself paint a different picture. In those messages, Epstein claims he was pulled into a “several marital dispute” between Bill and Melinda Gates. Epstein also allegedly demanded two years of severance pay from Bill. He believed he deserved it for helping Bill secure medication after his affairs. Epstein continued to accuse Bill of asking him to keep alleged STDs under wraps and provide antibiotics so Bill could allegedly give them to Melinda without her knowing.

Melinda recently responded to the statements in the emails, saying reading the released the documents filled her with “unbelievable sadness.” She added that going through them brought her back to “very, very painful times” that she experienced during her marriage. Additionally, Melinda noted that her heart goes out to the young girls who were Epstein’s victims. “I’m able to take my own sadness and look at those young girls and say, my God, how did that happen to those girls?”

Beyond the Gates spoilers for March 2 – 6, 2026 reveal Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) struggling and Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) showboating.

We always start with what is coming the rest of this week and then we talk about what’s coming next week.

Celebrating Beyond the Gates’ One-Year Anniversary and Ashley’s Career Milestone

On Wednesday, February 25th—just a quick note, by the way, if you didn’t know it—Beyond the Gates celebrated its one-year anniversary on Tuesday, February 24th. Man, what a year! I expect them to need a U-Haul to gather up all the daytime Emmys they are going to win at the next awards ceremony. I think they may sweep or just clean up.

Also, it is Ashley Morgan’s (Jen Jacob) work anniversary as she celebrates her first year at Garland Memorial. She and Chenise Valjean (Tiara Wilkins) are talking about the past year and all that has happened. Speaking of Ashley’s past year, her ex, Derek Baldwin (Ben Gavin), also gets some screen time as he makes a decision about what to do for a job now that his time as a firefighter is over.

Derek’s New Career Path and Leslie’s Clinic Power Plays on BTG

I wonder if Leslie is going to wind up hiring Derek. If so, I wish him so much grace. Related to that, Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle) is annoyed with Leslie, who’s yapping about the clinic and telling Eva that she’s going to show her how you do real business. Leslie says, “Watch and learn.” We know she and Derek get into it. This may be when Leslie and Derek can iron things out and decide if they can work together.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Jacob’s Undercover Crisis – Will Isaiah Blow His Big Brother’s Cover?

Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) is getting deeper and deeper undercover. Now he is embedded with the plasma ring red market people, but then he runs into his younger brother, Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe), while on the job. Jacob’s cover could be blown. He asks why Izaiah is out in that dodgy corner of town, and Izaiah tells his big brother he could ask him the same.

Cat and Tomas Face a Relationship Crossroads over Living Arrangements on BTG

Katherine “Kat” Richardson (Colby Muhammad) wants to know if she can stay forever after Tomas “Tom” Navarro (Alex Alegria) said Kat can come over to his place whenever she wants. Kat wants to know if Tomas still wants to live together. If you remember, he asked Kat to move in about four months ago, back in December, but she told Tomas, “No, it’s too fast.”

This time, he seems a little offended. He wants to know Kat’s motives, and it looks like Tomas may tell her no. He wants Kat to choose him for him, not by default or as a second choice because Chelsea Hamilton’s (RhonniRose Mantilla) moving out to move in with her fiancé and Kat doesn’t want to crash alone in her Aunt Dani Dupree’s (Karla Mosley) guest house.

Thursday Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Mysterious Visitors and Leslie’s Self-Promotion

On Thursday, February 26th, a “no” from Tomas might be why Kat is suddenly hyper-focused and ranting about Laura Peterson’s (Destiny Love) car accident that nearly killed her almost a year ago. Leslie has avoided any consequences for it, which of course is not okay. Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) checks in with Ashley and updates her on Jacob moving out. Will Naomi mention that Jacob is undercover and that’s why he did it, or will Naomi be cryptic just because of any potential risk?

Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) and Dani Dupree have a visitor they were not expecting and don’t want to see. It could be Leslie or it could be Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings). Meanwhile, Leslie engages in some self-promotion. She is showboating about something. Now, it could be about her new clinic that she’s funding or some other insanity. I definitely could see Leslie trying to piggyback off the attention that Anita has gotten because of the cancer.

Anita’s Brave Cancer Journey Shakes the DMV After Gayle King Interview

Speaking of which, Gayle King’s interview with Anita has energized the whole DMV. We’re going to be getting lots more breast cancer awareness as this rocks on, which is great. Awareness for that is wonderful. I wonder if Anastasia (Timeca M. Seretti) is going to be petty or sympathetic since she was one of the people pushing gossip saying that Anita was drunk at the club when she was actually suffering side effects of chemo. I wonder if Leslie is going to try and get closer to Anita to sponge off that residual attention because she’s just awful.

Friday BTG Drama: Cat’s Confrontations and Vanessa’s Dating App Dilemmas

On Friday, February 27th, Kat amps up a nasty confrontation with Eva and Leslie. Kat may be upset by Tomas and lashing out at Eva, but it’s clear the two of them are living rent-free in Kat’s head. I hope long-term that she and Eva develop a real bond as sisters, but it seems impossible—especially as long as Leslie’s around.

Chelsea has a blowup with a cousin. My money is on Kat and not Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) because Kat is in a mood. She’s so enraged, in fact, that Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) and Dr. Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) are quite concerned about their daughter. Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) tries to cheer up Nicole. I wonder if this is about Anita’s interview and all the attention and stress that came with it, but it was unavoidable.

It’s kind of ironic; I noticed that Vanessa was defending her escort app to Nicole, who was horrified by the idea that she would look for a date for Samantha Richardson (Najah Jackson) on there. Then ironically, Vanessa’s daughter wound up with a date from the Heart Attach app. That whole scene with her and Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) discussing it featured some clever dialogue: “Do as I say, not who I do.”

Mysterious Meetings and Smitty’s Pursuit of the Plasma Ring

Izaiah is asked to meet with someone and it surprises him. Maybe it’s his dad, Police Chief Elon Hawthorne (Malachi Malik), who’s not exactly a fan of his son. Or maybe it’s tied to the plasma case because Izaiah has a background in shady DMV goings-on. Bradley “Smitty” Smith (Mike Manning) catches up with an old friend, and I wonder if this might be tied to him poking into the plasma case as well.

Looking Ahead to March 2nd: Anita’s CBS Morning Show Aftershocks on Beyond the Gates

The week of March 2nd through the 6th, we expect lots more aftershocks from Anita’s stunning CBS Morning Show announcement about her cancer, the stage it’s in, and how scary everything is. I thought that interview segment was done really well. It was perfect. I thought I was watching an episode of the real CBS Morning Show. They don’t always do stuff that well on soaps.

I expect Leslie to come over with flowers, a plant, and fake sympathy. I hope she’s not going to be making tacky comments about Anita being the second articulate who might lose her life since her mom, Barbara, was the first to pass away. And I trust that Leslie is going to make everything worse on Anita while she says she’s trying not to.

Undercover Dangers and the Hunt for Justice in the Red Market

Smitty and Jacob may both be in danger doing this red market plasma sting. I wonder if somebody we know is linked to this ring. I hope Joey’s not, but you never know with him. Lynette Wise (Domini Madison) is feeling pretty good about her cover-up con targeting that poor homeless guy that Joey paid off and sent away, but he smells a rat.

I do suspect Joey’s going to figure out Lynette and Hayley are in cahoots. I also expect Joey to confront Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) about a false suspect, but he may keep Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) in the dark. Joey may just tell him people jump bail all the time. The problem is Bill still wants justice because the alleged mugger disappeared from the DMV.

Final Spoilers: Vernon’s Protection and Cat’s Growing Frustration on BTG

Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) does all he can to protect Anita now that her big secret is out and there are a lot more eyes on them. Meanwhile, Hayley thinks she got away with everything, but I doubt it. The bottom line is Lynette is never going to go away and get her hand out of Hayley Lawson’s purse. They have got to do something about that girl.

Kat’s frustrations grow and I wonder if the family’s going to stage an anger intervention. Is Tomas going to circle back around to Kat and tell her yes, he wants her to move in? Randy’s on edge and hoping the scrutiny is over, but Joey’s likely going to dig into him more. We will have to wait to see if Derek starts working with Leslie at her clinic.
