This is clearly interesting to anyone even remotely aware of the Jeffrey Epstein connection- which Wexner can downplay all he likes but it was clearly exceptionally important to them both. Imagine how much could have been avoided had this relationship never existed!
The story behind the marketing genius of Wexner and the monumental rise of Victoria's Secret is fascinating in itself. As an Australian I was less aware of the size and scale of his business interests than an American would surely be however it's clear that one would struggle to find a person (at least in the western world) who had not heard of the flagship store.
The doco is enriched with first hand accounts of people who worked for and with the brand as well as accounts from journalists who have investigated the company - in particular with regards to the link to Epstein.
Its a shame that the doco didn't delve further into what is clearly a very dark undercurrent of the story - with Epstein and with other key personnel at VS. There was surely more that could - and should - have been said.
While it seems the story is far from "over" - both in terms of the brand and with the legacy of Wexner - it feels as if a portion of the story has been left out. Like an episode 4 is missing...
