“The league is aware of the reports and Steve’s response,”the NFLsaid.“Our office will look into the matter to understand the facts.”
Some of theemails exchanged between Epsteinand Tisch appeared to show the two discussing women.
One thread from April 2023 showed Tisch asking Epstein whether an unnamed woman was “pro or civilian.” Epstein said his team reached out to the woman.He later added that she wanted to go to a play with Tisch but was “freaked by the age difference.”
Another exchange, from June 2013, showed Tisch and Epstein setting up a potential meeting in New York.

Tisch’s family owns about 45% of the Giants.He assumed control of the team in 2005 after his father had purchased a majority stake in the team in 1991.
Epstein was found dead in a Manhattan federal jail cell Aug.10, 2019.It was later ruled a suicide.He faced up to 45 years in prison for crimes related to the sex trafficking of minors.
Tisch released a statementthrough the Giants on Friday as the emails came to light.
“We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments.I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island.As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with,” Tisch said.
