Simpsons 'Secret Island' Episode Resurfaces After Files Named Matt Groening in Epstein Case

A 2000 episode features Homer on a secret island, drawing viral comparisons to Epstein's alleged crimes and creator Matt Groening's mention in DOJ documents.

  • The 2000 Simpsons episode resurfaced online after viewers linked its secret-island plot to Jeffrey Epstein, while renewed attention followed allegations naming Matt Groening in court filings.
  • From season 12 episode 'The Computer Wore Menace Shoes', Homer adopts the Mr X persona and claims 'Some crazy creeps on an island somewhere...', sparking online comparisons to Epstein allegations.
  • Court records filed in 2015 show Virginia Giuffre alleged she gave Matt Groening a foot massage on Epstein's jet, with no suggestion of wrongdoing in the filings.
  • Online posts, including manipulated images, have amplified the story, with social media posts and clips reshared widely, while Simpsons creative staff say apparent 'predictions' reflect coincidence, not foresight.
  • The show's prediction lore traces back to alleged hits such as 9/11, the 2020 pandemic, and Donald Trump's presidency, but former and current show writers argue these arise from chance across hundreds of episodes.
