Jerry O’Connell casually announced that his wife, model and actress Rebecca Romijn, once went to Jeffrey Epstein’s island — not for anything untoward, he quickly clarified.
Comic Seth Herzog was doing a bit on the infamous isle during a comedy show at Cynthia Rowley’s Hamptons store when co-host O’Connell made the revelation.
“Everyone went,” Herzog said during his set, riffing that the alleged guestlist to the disgraced financier’s retreat was so widespread that even late cosmologist Stephen Hawking went. “Let’s make like the beginning of the universe: have a Big Bang. These are the lines Hawking is working with.”
Hawking visited the pedophile’s Caribbean island in 2006 as part of a science conference trip to St. Thomas. He was never accused of any sexual misconduct.
O’Connell then stood up to tell the crowd, “Actually, my wife told me she went to Epstein Island. There was a modeling shoot there. My wife was modeling at the time.”
He added: “I’m so sorry, everyone. I know this is a comedy show, but that’s the end of that story. There was no massaging of feet.”
“Anyone else want to confess?,” Herzog cracked.
Romjin, who starred in “X-Men” and “Ugly Betty,” rose to fame as a model, appearing on the covers of Sports Illustrated, Cosmopolitan and Glamour and was in ad campaigns for Christian Dior, La Perla, Tommy Hilfiger, and Victoria’s Secret.
Romjin did not meet Epstein.
Herzog and O’Connell continued their standup set in the back yard of the designer’s Montauk outpost with a bit about who ICE should be targeting instead of “hardworking people,” like, he suggested, people who litter on the Long Island Railroad and couples who share an email address.
“Guys who pull out guitars at parties. Deported,” Herzog said. “I don’t want to hear the new song you wrote. I don’t want to hear you play ‘Blackbird’ at my party. Get the f*ck out.”
He continued, “People who text me and say, send me your email, I want to invite you to something. You just contacted me.”
