Is a video of a woman tied up in a kitchen begging for food from the Epstein files? No, that's not true: The clip is from a comedy sketch included in a 2010 review of a "Star Wars" movie. The woman in the footage is an actor named Jocelyn Ridgely, who played the character Nadine in multiple "Mr. Plinkett" "Star Wars" movie reviews. The clip of her tied up and begging for food is a comedy skit that is included in the movie review.
The claim appeared in a video posted on July 16, 2026 on X account @darkw0b (archived here). It opened:
There are still many leaks of Jeffrey Epstein's horrifying island videos. Hearing a helpless voice begging, "Please let me go and give me something to eat," is deeply disturbing.
This is what the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

The clip of the woman is from a 2010 comedy film titled "Mr. Plinkett's Attack of the Clones Review," which was produced by the production company Red Letter Media (archived here), according to IMDb (archived here). Mike Stoklasa stars as Mr. Plinkett, a fictional character who criticizes movies and tells dark stories about his pretend life in the films. Footage of this film was posted on the Red Letter Media YouTube account (archived here) in 2015. Jocelyn Ridgely played the character Nadine in this film and several more of the "Mr. Plinkett" movie reviews, as her IMDb page shows (archived here). She played Nadine in the "Phantom Menace Review," "Baby's Day Out Review," "Attack of the Clones Review" and "Revenge of the Sith Review."
Beginning at 29:43 in the video, Ridgely's character Nadine is seen tied up in a kitchen begging for food. This matches the 30-second video posted on X:
