Diana Jenkins is “on a mission” to rehab her reputation.
“She wants to end these lies about Epstein and being a madame,” a source close to the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 49, tells Page Six exclusively.
“Right now, she’s really focused on shutting down all that’s been said about her,” the insider continues.
“She’s not just doing this because she’s bored. People keep on repeating the lies and she wants them to stop.”
Jenkins sent out a series of cease-and-desist letters — obtained by Page Six — to various bloggers, podcasters and publications who’ve perpetuated unfounded gossip that she had ties to Jeffrey Epstein and his sex-trafficking ring.
She has vehemently denied any involvement with the late pedophile’s crimes.
“I will no longer sit back and allow them to smear my name with impunity,” she wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
“I have instructed my lawyers to take whatever action is necessary to remove these false statements and to pursue justice from those who have been spreading lies about me.”
Entities hit with written warnings from Jenkins’ legal team include Enty Lawyer, Sharrell, Jezebel, Gawker, Heavy, “Sexy Unique Podcast,” the South China Morning Post and former “RHOBH” personality Dana Wilkey.
Addressing Wilkey, 47, specifically, attorney J. Erik Connolly, demanded that the podcast host retract a series of allegations made in a November 2021 YouTube video about Jenkins.
Wilkey alleged that Jenkins had extramarital affairs with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Guy Ritchie, and accused her of being a “madame” who sex-trafficked young women across continents and connected celebrities with prostitutes, among other nefarious claims.
“I write to demand that you immediately remove these false and defamatory statements and issue notices acknowledging that you had no factual basis for any of the statements and implications made about Ms. Jenkins,” Connolly wrote to Wilkey.
“Your continued publication of these statements will be met with immediate legal action by Ms. Jenkins.”
Wilkey isn’t last on Jenkins’ list. Our insider says “more letters are coming” soon from the Bosnian refugee-turned-millionaire.
“Diana is on a mission to restore her reputation,” the source elaborates. “She’s built a great reputation as a human rights activist, philanthropist and businesswoman.”
Jenkins is “very much looking forward to” the upcoming “Beverly Hills” Season 12 reunion taping, our insider shares, “It’s a chance for her to clear some things up.”
A rep for Jenkins did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
While the Epstein rumors have persisted for years, the Bravo rookie was only recently hit with accusations that she hired social media bots to post racist comments directed at co-star Garcelle Beauvais’ 14-year-old son Jax.
Jenkins shut down such speculation in a Friday Instagram post, while also claiming that her detractors are currently “threatening” her life and the lives of her loved ones.
“I have been accused of instigating the hateful and inexcusable cyber bullying of Garcelle’s son. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have stood for human rights my whole life. There is no place for hate in this world,” she wrote.
“To those people who have been attacking my family and threatening our lives, you are also spreading hate and creating fear. Please stop.”
Subsequently, the mom of three — who shares son Innis, 22, and daughter Eneya, 19, with ex-husband Roger Jenkins, and daughter Eliyanah, 2, with fiancé Asher Monroe — ended up hiring around-the-clock security.
“Diana’s team of security experts advised her to hire four personal bodyguards as they believe credible death threats have been made,” a source told Page Six exclusively last week.
“The bodyguards are 24/7,” the insider added. “She’s taking every precaution she can to protect herself and her family.”
“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
