The new Discovery+ docuseries Chasing Ghislaine reports the accused accomplice to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had an extremely close relationship with her father Robert Maxwell.

“She wanted to be like her father,” The Post journalist Vicky Ward states in the special, per New York Post. “It’s critical in understanding why a man like Jeffrey Epstein would have been so extraordinarily compelling to her.”

The father-daughter duo had a very close bond — Robert even named one of his yachts "Lady Ghislaine" — that heavily influenced her choices in life. “Ghislaine was his darling,” Dillon explained. “A lot of girls love their fathers, even though they’re villains. And he was a villain.”

Her brother Ian Maxwell also explained to the outlet, "I am extremely relieved that neither of our parents are alive to see it because they would have been profoundly shocked."

As OK! previously reported, Ghislaine has been held in a Brooklyn prison as she awaits her sex-trafficking trial. In April, Ghislaine — whose trial is set to begin in New York on November 29 — pled not guilty to two new charges of sex trafficking minors and sex trafficking conspiracy.
