Faith Kates
INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY
Faith Kates, co-founder of Next Models, resigned from her position in early December 2025 following the public release of emails revealing friendly correspondence between her and Jeffrey Epstein spanning 2009-2019. The newly surfaced communications from the Epstein files severely undermined her prior claims of distance and lack of knowledge regarding Epstein's activities. While Kates announced her departure by citing her status as a 30-year cancer survivor and desire to give back, observers widely characterized the resignation as a strategic move to mitigate reputational damage ahead of further potential revelations rather than a voluntary moral decision.
