Reporting from the New York Post (archived here) offers more context. According to its article, the event in question was "an afterparty at convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell's house" for "Amelia" (archived here), a biopic about American pilot Amelia Earhart directed by Mira Nair. The email was authored by publicist Peggy Siegal (archived here).
