A former assistant of Jeffrey Epstein says he ordered surgery to remove a small tattoo, and that the procedure left her disfigured. The claim is presented in reporting that describes Epstein’s alleged control over her appearance and subsequent abuse while she was released from custody on certain days. According to the account, Epstein did not approve of the tattoo and instructed that it be cut off, resulting in physical harm. The reporting also alleges that the same period involved sexual abuse. These statements come from the former assistant’s account as reported by the outlet. The provided materials do not include independent verification, court findings, or additional perspectives beyond the described allegations. The story therefore reflects what the former assistant says happened rather than confirmed details in the excerpts. In synthesis, the central points across the supplied sources are the allegation that Epstein ordered the tattoo removal surgery, the claim that it caused disfigurement, and that sexual abuse is alleged to have occurred around the time of day releases. No other corroborating evidence or official statements are included in the provided text.
