In newly released Epstein files, an unidentified survivor alleged that she was present when professional skateboarder Tony Hawk got married on Jeffrey Epstein's private island. However, Hawk has directly addressed this claim, providing details and receipts for all four of his actual weddings, which took place in California, Fiji, and Ireland - none of which were on Epstein's island.

Why it matters

The Epstein files have revealed a trove of information about the convicted sex offender's activities and the alleged involvement of various high-profile individuals. This unverified claim about Hawk has drawn attention, requiring the skateboarding icon to publicly refute the allegation and provide evidence of his real wedding history.

The details

The email from a special agent working as a Threat Intake Examiner recounted an alleged survivor's claims that she was present on Epstein's private island, Little Saint James, when Tony Hawk got married there. However, Hawk has provided receipts for all four of his actual weddings, which took place in California, Fiji, and Ireland - none of which were on Epstein's island. Hawk also acknowledged that one of the credited photographers for his 2006 Fiji wedding shares the same name as Epstein's brother, Mark Epstein, but clarified that this was simply a coincidence.

  • In October 2024, a special agent email recounted an alleged survivor's claim about Hawk's wedding on Epstein's island.
  • On February 6, 2026, Hawk directly addressed the unverified claim on his Instagram story, providing details and receipts for all four of his actual weddings.
