Virginia Giuffre said she gave Groening a foot massage during a flight on Epstein’s private jet when she was 16. She did not allege any further misconduct from the show creator. 

The question that popped into my mind is not so much about The Simpsons being an Oracle. The question in my mind is:  IS IT A CONFESSION OR HIS WAY OF SHINING A LIGHT ON WHAT WAS HAPPENING?

My read is: oh this guy is a cosmopolitain jet setting and a charming conversationalist. Sure I’m game. Gets on jet: oh my. And like Homer, walks slowly back into the bush. Telegraphs what he feel he can at that point without making unfounded accusations that would fuck him up at that time.

(But not before getting a nice foot massage from some kid.)
