Ghislaine Maxwell was branded a “deluded hypocritical predator” as her appearance on Jeremy Kyle’s programme sparked a furious backlash over her lack of introspection. Kyle also faced criticism after promoting the interview as a “bombshell” exchange with the former socialite but seemingly failing to deliver. Social media users flocked to Twitter to hit out at the broadcaster for featuring Maxwell on his programme despite her currently serving 20 years in a Florida prison for sex trafficking minors.
Former British heavyweight boxer Jemma Brookes said: “Deluded Hypocritical Predator #GhislaineMaxwell #GhislaineTalkTv.”
Twitter user @Diarmuidthe2nd wrote: “Well I see #JeremyKyle has managed to promote and publicly an exclusive HOUR LONG #GhislaneMaxwell special.”
“Somehow about 6 minutes of her actually speaking is dragged out unashamedly into a supposed ‘hour-long special’. Stay classy Jeremy.”
User @alan1878 commented: “She’s a convicted child sex trafficker and constantly lies. Let’s start by convicting her clients.”

@Christo95316990 noted: “Wasn’t really an interview, just an opportunity for the liar to try and defend herself.”
And @M0kujin commented: “She’s a convicted child sex offender with links to intelligence services and you are giving her the opportunity to whitewash her crimes.”
One user also noted some discrepancies in the promotional ads released ahead of the interview which suggested Kyle conducted the interview himself. He later clarified he did not.

“In an interview, you ask questions, they answer. I haven’t heard Kyle ask her any bloody questions lol. Is this another @TalkTV lie and false scoop?”
