“I’m not Jeffrey Epstein, I’m Palm Beach Pete,” he said. Pete also explained what actually happened that day. He said he was just driving on Interstate 95 on his way to play tennis when someone randomly filmed him. “My video went viral because some dude randomly filmed me while I was driving on I-95,” he added.Pete, who is a former Division 1 tennis player and a gold medallist, said the sudden attention caught him off guard. His phone started “blowing up” soon after the video went viral. He also said that the situation has started affecting his daily life, as strangers now recognise him in public and ask for photos.He shared that during a recent restaurant visit, people recognised him from the video and asked for pictures. Similar things happened at a bar as well. Despite the confusion and attention, Pete said he is taking it in good humour. The viral moment comes amid renewed online claims about Epstein, including remarks by Prince Andrew’s former girlfriend Lady Victoria Hervey, who said in an interview with LBC Radio that she believes Epstein could be alive and possibly in Israel. Also, an image created much frenzy online claiming to show Epstein in Israel, but it was later debunked as AI-generated, adding to the wave of speculation. .
