Full video with Rebecca Watson
Rebecca Watson didn't go looking for Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein found her — because Lawrence Krauss was forwarding her emails to him.
In this conversation, Watson — founder of Skepchick — recounts how a decade of speaking out against harassment inside the skeptic and atheist community put her name in correspondence between two notorious men. When Watson publicly called out Krauss for defending Epstein after his first sex trafficking conviction, Krauss didn't just push back. He ran to Epstein for advice: "What do I do? She's ruining my life."
Meanwhile, Richard Dawkins — the most famous atheist in the world — was asking Epstein's publisher to help discredit Watson's reporting.
None of it worked. Because she was right.
This is a conversation about the rings of support that protect powerful predators — from Epstein at the center, to the famous men in his orbit, to the institutions and fans who prop them up. The Jeffrey Epstein files proved Watson was standing on the right side of history the whole time.
Topics covered:
— How Watson built Skepchick and challenged the male-dominated skeptic community
— The Richard Dawkins backlash that damaged her career in public speaking
— Lawrence Krauss's defense of Epstein and what he was doing behind the scenes
— Why choosing your values over your career is always the right call
