The Spin

Narrative A

These charities made the right call by cutting ties with Ferguson immediately. This is not her first scandal as a royal, and her duplicitous behavior shows a complete lack of moral integrity that makes her unfit to represent organizations helping vulnerable children.

GuardianThe Standard

Narrative B

Ferguson was clearly being manipulated by a dangerous predator who threatened legal action against her. She publicly condemned Epstein appropriately, and her private email was simply damage control to protect herself and her family from his threats – exactly what any reasonable person would do.
