In an absolutely BIZARRE twist to an already bizarre story, it was revealed that Jeffrey Epstein had a super creepy portrait of Bill Clinton hanging in his Manhattan mansion.
“How creepy?” you may ask.

This creepy. We’re talking off the charts, here.
And despite the MULTIPLE comments on Facebook accusing me of “fake news’… I can assure you it’s very, VERY real.
In fact, the original artist is now speaking out… and she’s just as surprised as we are that THIS was hanging at Epstein’s pedo pad.
According to Fox News:
Among those confounded by the revelation this week that accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had owned and prominently displayed a freakish painting of former President Bill Clinton is the artist herself.
The odd oil painting — which shows Clinton outfitted in a blue dress similar to the one infamously worn by Monica Lewinsky and suggestively curled up on an Oval Office chair while looking and pointing at the piece’s viewer — is just the latest bizarre twist to emerge from the Epstein scandal in the wake of the 66-year-old’s apparent suicide while in federal custody on Saturday
Apparently it’s not a Nelson Shanks. “The original painting, which is titled Parsing Bill, is by Manhattan-based artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid.” I missed this yesterday- https://t.co/jxCOKXlhZ0 via @nypost

The whole thing started as a school project.
“In 2012, as a grad student at the New York Academy of Art, I painted pictures of Presidents Bill Clinton and [George W.] Bush as part of my Master’s thesis,” artist Petrina Ryan-Kleid told Fox News in a statement Thursday night. “When the school put on a fundraiser at the Tribeca Ball that year, they sold my painting to one of the attendees. I had no idea who the buyer was at the time. As with most of my paintings, I had completely lost track of this piece when it was sold seven years ago. So it was a complete surprise to me to learn yesterday that it wound up in Epstein’s home.”
Proof that NOTHING GOOD ever comes out of art school.
(Don’t get yer panties twisted, kids. I have a MASTERS in Arts Administration and took more studio art classes in college than I care to count.)
The painting, “Parsing Bill,” that hung in Epstein’s townhouse in Manhattan is only the most recent eyebrow-raising detail to emerge regarding the Clinton-Epstein connection. Questions about the extent of their friendship and what the ex-president and the convicted pedophile did during their time together have long dogged both men. Though Clinton has admitted to flying on Epstein’s private plane on four trips related to work for the Clinton Foundation, flight logs indicate two other trips and a total of 27 flights on which Clinton was a passenger.
A representative for Clinton has staunchly denied the former president had any knowledge of Epstein’s illicit activities and insisted the pair’s encounters all took place several years before Epstein entered into a controversial plea deal on 2007 charges he sexually assaulted a minor in Florida.
Lol. Yeah right.
Ready or not… it’s coming for you, Bill.
