Bibi is threatening to release photos or whatever that involve Melania

12. A different take on Mel's sudden umbrage:

She's been trying to establish and polish her personal "brand" lately. Her despicable meal ticket is circling the drain, and her focus on selling herself as a "visionary creative" with entrepreneurial and high tech interests points to the type of billionaire she wants to snag for her next chapter. However, it's dawned on her that her Epstein connection has become a toxic liability, and that she could very likely become a social pariah unless she succeeds in distancing herself from him and portraying herself as a victim of slander instead of a willing collaborator. Just my hunch. Others may be correct and that she is trying to neutralize an upcoming bombshell revelation.
