From the Epstein files to the screen, the sensational return of the Albanian model

The name of Albanian model Misse Beqiri has returned strongly to the spotlight, not only for her participation in the new season of Ladies of London: The New Reign , but also for her mention in the files related to Jeffrey Epstein . A return that mixes the brilliance of television with the shadows of a past that continues to disturb public opinion.
According to The Sun , the 39-year-old's name has been included in recently released documents, bringing to light a 2011 meeting with the American financier, who later faced serious charges of trafficking and sexual exploitation.
A source close to her stated that "of course it was a complete shock when she learned that her name was mentioned in the Jeffrey Epstein files. She was very young when she met him and at the time she didn't know who he was."
According to the same source, "of course she felt appreciated by his attention, but nothing happened. She was a young model trying to build her career; he promised her modeling contracts and that's why she initially agreed to meet him. Now she regrets it. She feels sorry for all the victims in this situation and believes that justice will be served. She knows she did nothing wrong, she just met him, he was the one who asked her out, not the other way around. And those who know her, know the truth."
Reports indicate that Epstein had expressed great interest in her. He had offered to fly her to Paris for a fashion show and even wanted to buy her a Mercedes worth £100,000. Their first meeting took place at his £37 million Manhattan mansion. Misse was surprised to see a makeshift classroom with school desks inside the seven-story mansion, but decided to stay, hoping that he could help her with her career.
The meeting took place just months after Epstein had completed 13 months in prison and a year of house arrest following his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution. A friend of hers said that “she was unaware of his conviction at the time.”
For the public, this mention in the file brings back questions and doubts. For Misse Beqiri, according to sources, it is an unwanted return to a chapter she thought she had left behind.
But her life has also been marked by other intense dramas. She became internationally known as the wife of former Manchester United goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard , whom she married before they split in 2016. She then began a relationship with Jake Hall , a tumultuous romance that ultimately ended in 2021.
A serious episode in her life was the murder of her brother, Flamur Beqiri, who was shot dead outside his home in Battersea on Christmas Eve 2019. The court heard that he was involved in serious and organised crime and that he had violent rivalries with other groups in Scandinavia. Anis Hemissi was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 35 years for the murder.
After this tragedy, Misse wrote: "I didn't have the chance to tell you I love you, I didn't have the chance to tell you that I will miss you. I keep you in my heart no matter how far you are, towards the sky I would like to fly. I will remember you every day with you. You left us a year ago and nothing has been the same. I know you feel my tears and don't want us to cry, but my heart is broken because I don't understand why."
Today, as she prepares to appear in “Ladies of London: The New Reign,” she hopes for a new chapter. When she first saw the billboard with her image, she publicly reacted: “What a surreal moment. I am incredibly proud of us, of the effort, the open hearts, everything we brought this season. Life was not handed to me on a platter. I am not perfect, but I know my worth and I have grown into a person I am proud of.”
"This program is not just a job for us, it has become our life, as has the cast. I am so grateful to everyone who stood by me when I was devastated, when I couldn't get out of bed, but I got up, because people believed in me. And I will always continue to fight for a better life for me and my children. Seeing this billboard doesn't sum up all the proud moments, but it shows that you can fall many times and get up again. Here's a new chapter."
In a story that mixes fame, scandal, family tragedy and media comeback, the mention in the Epstein files has put her back at the center of public debate. While the screen gives her a new chance to rebuild her image, the shadow of the past remains a part of the story that continues to haunt her.
