Who is Paula Fisher in the Epstein files?

The files show Paula Heil Fisher as a longtime acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein who wrote to him directly in 2012–2015, mostly about opera and meetups. A press article reproduced in several documents, including a House Oversight exhibit, describes her as a former Bear Stearns associate of Epstein's who became an opera producer, and as one of his long-term girlfriends. The files do not otherwise say what her work involved.

What do the emails between Paula Fisher and Jeffrey Epstein discuss?

They are brief and informal. Topics include Santa Fe Opera tickets for Tosca in August 2012, plans to meet in New York in spring 2013 and May 2014, her travels through Jerusalem, Paris and London, and music files she forwarded. Lesley Groff, Epstein's assistant, handled some of the logistics, including a December 2014 performance she asked about on his behalf.

Is there evidence Paula Fisher was involved in wrongdoing?

Nothing in the documents shows this. She appears in personal correspondence, schedule entries and a news article's description of her relationship with Epstein. None of the files describe her taking part in any alleged crime. Being named in the archive is not evidence of misconduct.

How many documents mention Paula Fisher?

178 documents mention her: 166 emails, 4 investment-related records, 2 legal documents and 6 other records. Many are duplicate copies of the same news article or of the same daily schedule. Only 35 emails have her in the From/To/Cc line, which is the direct correspondence.

Watch: Paula Fisher in the Epstein files

1:18

Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.

Paula Heil Fisher is the name behind this entry. The files include about three dozen emails she exchanged directly with Jeffrey Epstein and his assistant Lesley Groff between 2012 and 2015, mostly about opera tickets, meetups and travel. A press article reproduced in several files describes her as a former Bear Stearns associate of Epstein's who became an opera producer, and as one of his long-term girlfriends.

The strongest material is direct correspondence. Paula Fisher or Paula Heil Fisher is in the From/To/Cc line of 35 emails with Epstein's Gmail account and with Lesley Groff, running from 2012 to 2015. The messages are short and informal. They cover Santa Fe Opera tickets, arranging to see each other, Paris and Jerusalem trips, and an offer of tickets to a December 2014 performance. A news article appears in several copies, including a House Oversight exhibit. It calls her a former associate of Epstein's at Bear Stearns who is now an opera producer, and says Epstein remained close to her. She is also named on Epstein's April 2013 daily schedules. Most of the 178 documents that mention her are emails, and many are repeated schedule copies and forwarded threads. Only 6 are non-email records, and the files do not show her in a legal or financial role.

Key Highlights

•The files include 35 emails with Paula Fisher or Paula Heil Fisher in the From/To/Cc line, between 2012 and 2015. Most are casual exchanges with Epstein, and some are with his assistant Lesley Groff.
•A press article reproduced in several files, including a House Oversight exhibit, describes her as one of Epstein's two other long-term girlfriends, alongside Eva Andersson Dubin. It says she is a former Bear Stearns associate of his and now an opera producer. This is the article's description, not something the emails themselves establish.
•In August 2012 she forwarded Santa Fe Opera order confirmations for a Tosca performance to Groff and Epstein. A follow-up email asked about arranging a pickup. In December 2014 Groff asked whether to tell Paula that Epstein would attend a performance the next night, "you plus 3."
•Her emails with Epstein from 2013 to 2015 include plans to meet in New York (May 2014: "Still good to come by today, Friday at 6?"), a thank-you for a visit (April 2013), a note from Jerusalem on the way back to Paris (December 2012), and a June 2015 exchange about being in Paris.
•Epstein's schedules for April 4, 2013 list "TBD Paula Heil Fisher and Chaslin" as an unscheduled item. The same entry appears in several copies of the schedule.
•Nothing in the documents shows her in a legal, financial or investigative role. Where she appears, the files show a personal and cultural connection (opera, travel, social plans).
