The body of the email consists of just two short lines:

“God is a construct
Cute girls are real”

This appears to be part of a broader, often philosophical-yet-casual exchange between Chopra and Epstein in March 2017, where their conversations mixed abstract ideas (e.g., about cells, consciousness, the universe as human constructs) with more crude or personal remarks about women/girls. In the surrounding context from released documents,

Epstein had asked questions like “So when the girl says ‘oh my god?'” prompting Chopra’s response framing “God” as illusory while emphasizing the tangible reality of “cute girls.”

The tone has been widely criticized as flippant, inappropriate, and objectifying, especially given Epstein’s criminal history involving the exploitation of minors and young women.

Chopra has since publicly denied any involvement in criminal or exploitative activities, condemned abuse, and described his Epstein contacts as limited and unrelated to wrongdoing, while expressing regret over the tone of some exchanges. No criminal allegations against Chopra have been made in connection to these files.
