Noscitur ex socius. A
man is known by the company he keeps and therefore Noam Chomsky, is guilty by
association because he knew Jeffrey Epstein.
Noam Chomsky' wife, Valeria Chomsky, recently issued a public statement (February 2026), expressing deep regret for their association with Jeffrey Epstein. She admitted that she and her husband had attended dinners and had stayed at the properties of Jeffrey Epstein and had used Epstein for advice on financial transfers. She also stated that the couple were completely unaware of Epstein's prior convictions for soliciting sex from a minor in 2008, until his arrest in 2019. The former Prince Andrew, is far from smart, but he knew about Epstein's convictions.
Noam Chomsky, 97, suffered a stroke in 2023 and is no longer capable of defending himself. There are emails that have been disclosed between Noam Chomsky and Jeffrey Epstein, that suggest that Chomsky appeared to believe Epstein's version of events, dismissed the accusations as "hysteria" and advised Epstein to ignore the press. If these emails are genuine, it doesn't seem to support the statement that Chomsky was unaware of Epstein's reputation and the allegations that had been made against him.
Some people would suggest that Chomsky was too smart to be taken in by Epstein and should have known better. What we have to ask ourselves is this. Given Chomsky's reputation, would he have knowingly maintained a relationship with a child sex abuser and for a few nights spent in a Manhattan apartment and a $20,000-dollar linguistic prize, risk a legacy that he had spent 70 years building? Chomsky later told the Wall Street Journal that having served his 2008 sentence, he believed that Epstein "re-enters society under prevailing norms."
