A new wave of conspiracy theories circulating on X has pulled Oprah Winfrey into an unsubstantiated narrative involving Jeffrey Epstein's alleged "underground baby factory," prompting a fact-checking response from Reuters that found no evidence linking the media mogul to Epstein's criminal operations. The allegations, pushed by anonymous social-media accounts and commentators, position Winfrey at the center of a storyline unsupported by any court filings or official records.
The claims gained momentum after a post from The People's Voice host TPV Sean (@tpvsean) asserted that Winfrey was tied to Epstein's New Mexico property, Zorro Ranch, sharing the headline, "FBI Expose Oprah as Mastermind of Epstein's Underground Baby Factory at Zorro Ranch." The message revived theories that have intermittently surfaced since Epstein's 2019 death, drawing on unnamed sources while providing no documentation. Reuters examined the claims and reported that "legal documents do not say that Oprah Winfrey was a client of Epstein."
The video attached to the viral post broadens the accusations, alleging that "according to sources embedded in the federal investigation, the cracks are about to become a total collapse," and that Winfrey was among "a whole host of household names" under scrutiny. The speaker also claims Winfrey "wasn't just Epstein's friend, she was his partner" and that she "helped traffic children straight to the global elites." The post further asserts she visited Zorro Ranch repeatedly, citing "flight logs, witness statements and ... grand jury testimony," although none of these records have been produced publicly.
The allegations escalate further when the video states Epstein "bragged about building an underground baby factory, impregnating girls, harvesting offspring, and seeding his evil bloodline." No official investigation has confirmed the existence of such a facility. The narrator also claims that federal teams discovered "100 of tiny corpses, infants and fetuses buried in a sprawling underground complex," a statement unsupported by any documented evidence.
Other assertions attempt to tie Winfrey to separate controversies, including comments that Epstein survivor Juliette Bryant had been told that Epstein "owned a controlling stake in the Oprah Winfrey Network" and that "I was told that ES owned Oprah's network." The clip additionally characterizes Winfrey as "a sociopath" and accuses her of having "legitimised child abuse in public forums," while revisiting her past interview with Brazilian faith healer John of God.
The video also claims her African schools were "harvesting grounds," alleging that children "disappeared," yet provides no supporting documentation. Reuters emphasized that allegations spreading online often rely on misinterpretations of records or fabricated documents rather than authenticated material.
