Years after Jeffrey Epstein's death, the newly released files by the US Department of Justice have brought focus on the woman described as his longtime girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak.

Shuliak, a Belarus-born dentist who graduated from Columbia University's College of Dental Medicine in 2015, was allegedly in a relationship with Epstein from roughly 2010 until his arrest in 2019.

While many images in the Justice Department files are heavily redacted to protect victims, some photos have reportedly turned out to be Shuliak's. In addition to the redacted images, there were pre-existing visuals of Shuliak that have circulated in media reports and online discussions.

One of the most widely published images shows Epstein with his arm around Shuliak at a formal dinner in April 2014. The pair is seated closely together, smiling at the camera.

The photo has appeared in multiple reports on their relationship and is often cited as evidence that she attended social events with him years after his 2008 conviction.

2. Paparazzi Shots of the Pair

Photographers captured Epstein and Shuliak together in New York during their relationship. In these shots, they appear walking side by side in everyday clothing, offering a glimpse into their life outside formal events.

3. The Alleged 'Dancing Girl in Red'

Many on social media have pointed to an image described as a 'dancing girl in red,' with some users speculating the woman is Shuliak. The video was first circulated with the redacted version, where the girl's face was blurred.

However, an unredacted version of the same video is now available on social media, apparently showing Shuliak dancing with Epstein. The DOJ has not confirmed the woman as Shuliak for now.

4. The 'Redacted Girl in Black' Claim

Another such redacted image of a girl in black clothing, standing extremely close to Esptein, is suggested by theorists to depict Shuliak.

However, there are no confirmed sources identifying a blacked-out figure as her. Media reviews of the documents indicate that redactions were primarily used to shield victims' identities.

5. Smiling Next to Epstein

Another viral image of Shuliak widely shared on social media is a photo of her standing next to Epstein, smiling ear to ear. A view of the seaside is visible in the background, although the location, timing or even the authenticity of the particular image has not been confirmed by any official sources.

6. Immigration Documents and Marriage Records

Among the most discussed visuals are documents connected to Shuliak's immigration history. Records indicate that she married an American woman in 2013 while on a student visa and later obtained US citizenship. The marriage reportedly ended in divorce.

Investigative reports have described the marriage as part of a broader pattern in which Epstein allegedly assisted women in maintaining legal status in the United States. However, Shuliak has not publicly commented on those reports.

7. Columbia Graduation

Photos from her time at Columbia University's dental school are also widely circulating on social media. According to reports, Epstein donated money to the university around the time she sought admission and paid for her education.

Images of her graduation ceremony are all over the internet.

Furthermore, Shuliak has not been officially involved in any criminal charges related to the Epstein case. According to reports, she was last photographed in New York City in 2024.
