“I did not know/meet/have knowledge of/engage in any way with Epstein before or after that initial invitation was sent,” she wrote, adding that Epstein “did not attend any event at which I was present, including my wedding.”
Gunderson also addressed Wolfe more directly, saying she was unaware of her ex-husband’s communication “until this week,” and that their separation “well precedes this.” She described herself as “appalled,” said she condemned Epstein’s actions, and emphasized that she honors survivors of Epstein and “his network of abusers.” Gunderson and Wolfe divorced in 2021.
Meanwhile, The Contemporary Theater Company is making it clear it’s not waiting for the long version of the story.
“While it is certain that more detail and nuance will come out about this connection, the CTC is going to act on the information available today,” the theatre wrote. “So, we will not produce work by Gunderson unless and until exonerating information does come to light.”
The Revolutionists is a widely produced comedy set during the French Revolution, centered on four women — among them playwright Olympe de Gouges and Marie Antoinette — trying to write, survive, and matter in a world that is collapsing around them. It’s also, in a darkly ironic way, a play about how quickly narratives harden once the public decides who gets to be seen as “acceptable,” and who doesn’t.
As additional Epstein-related records continue to circulate and be reviewed, the theatre has said it will not produce Gunderson’s work “unless and until exonerating information does come to light,” and has not yet announced what will replace The Revolutionists in its 2026 lineup.
