On March 31st, she apparently posted a photo of her battered and bruised face, saying she had four days left to live.
Some called it attention seeking dramatics. Others saw it as a red flag.
When it concerns the most high-profile public victim (or ‘accuser’, as the newspapers are always careful to say) of the Epstein/Ghislaine sex trafficking operations, nothing should be considered far-fetched.
The apparent suicide of Epstein/Ghislaine victim Virginia Giuffre has obviously provoked suspicions of foul play – suspicions that, even if they’re untrue, can hardly be considered unjustified.
The aforementioned ‘four days to live‘ post came after an apparent traffic accident that she had to be hospitalised for. We’ll come back to that: and to a strange thing that was said by Lady Victoria Hervey.
Obviously we don’t know with any certainty whether the 41 year old did take her own life or whether there was something else going on.
This was the woman, after all, who not only destroyed Prince Andrew‘s public life and brought the House of Windsor into further disrepute, but the woman who’s bold actions led directly to the apparent ‘suicide’ of Jeffrey Epstein himself.
It was when the United States Court of Appeals ordered the unsealing of documents from Giuffre’s civil against Maxwell that Epstein was reported dead the next day.
We should also note – because it gets overlooked a lot – that it was at Donald Trump‘s Mar-a-Lago resort specifically that the young Giuffre was picked up by Epstein and Ghislaine to be used as a sex item for various well-to-do individuals.
She was literally working at Trump’s property when they acquired her.
But let’s come back to the present.
It’s worth noting that Giuffre’s lawyer has expressed doubt about her death being suicide.
I also note that, although the reports are all of ‘suicide’, there’s no actual specific cause of death cited.
This is something that actually happens a lot – a good example is the death of Sinead O’Connor, where ‘mental health’ was cited but an actual cause of death wasn’t given.
There could be reasons for those omissions: but I always find it curious.
Lots of people have of course pointed to Giuffre’s own statement about not being suicidal.
However, that statement was back in 2019: a lot can change in that amount of time – and a lot did for her. These several years were apparently filled with hardships both public and personal: she was more recently also dealing with divorce and the loss of access to her children.
And this was someone who already had a lifetime of traumatic experiences, right from childhood: and, it’s fair to say, a delicate mental state.
So, again, I am not commenting on whether she took her own life or not. Either answer – that she did or that she didn’t – is plausible.
But the timing – on the heels of that strange traffic accident – is obviously curious.
The incident, a few weeks before her apparent suicide, saw her being hospitalised after a school bus drove into her car: though police didn’t attend the crash and the incident was not reported by the bus driver until the next day.
The bus was reportedly doing 70 miles per hour – which could seem a little odd for a school bus.
Her claim that she had four days to live was apparently based on what doctors had told her based on the condition of her kidneys – which was reportedly unrelated to the crash, but something that was discovered by chance.
It’s all a bit odd. But let’s suppose that, in the fog of confusion and shock, things could be misperceived or misunderstood. Additionally, he claims that Giuffre had ‘no injuries’ after the crash seem off.
It seems strange they would tell a patient that she specifically had ‘four days’ to live. Though it’s possible she misunderstood what was said.
It’s also odd, to be honest, that she would post a picture of her battered face to social media and say she has only days left.
It does seem like the action of someone possibly in an unstable state of mind: which would of course be totally understandable for someone in her situation.
It’s the fact that Giuffre is then reported dead just weeks later that really forces us to look back at the road accident and wonder what was going on.
Or whether it’s all just messy coincidence.
Victims of elite-level abuse or trafficking operations often wind up dead – especially those who publicly fight back. A relatively recent example would be P. Diddy‘s ex-wife and accuser Kim Porter. As a side note, Porter’s book making allegations against the Hip Hop mogul has just been pulled by Amazon amid claims it was all fake stories.
But Giuffre is the third Epstein/Maxwell accuser to end up dead (that we know of). The other two (again, that we know of) are Leigh Skye Patrick who died in 2017 and Carolyn Andriano who died in 2023, both of drug overdoses.
The latter died after giving testimony against Ghislaine Maxwell.
In general, victims are treated badly all-around, their efforts to pursue justice made extremely arduous, and are often forgotten, relegated to nameless cameos in a larger arena. They rarely receive the support they need.
Virginia Giuffre wasn’t much different in that respect, but had the distinction of being the most high profile and outspoken accuser: which also made her a target.
A perfect example of this was given by the rich socialite and former girlfriend of Prince Andrew, Lady Victoria Hervey, who said in response to Giuffre’s car crash in April, that ‘God’s judgement’ had been served. She also called it ‘karma‘.
The aristocrat also said something curious, which is the following: ‘… the FBI are on her right now and arrest warrants are coming. She’s conveniently dying to evade jail.’
I haven’t been able to really understand why Hervey said this or what she meant.
What’s more to the point is that Giuffre was clearly the victim of not just physical or sexual abuse, but psychological abuse and sustained pressure over a long time.
In other words, even if she did take her own life, the powerful forces she had been fighting against – or fighting to expose – essentially drove her to it over many years.
The scale of the crimes committed by Epstein, Maxwell and their highly placed clients, collaborators and enablers over many years, is almost inconceivable.
And the number of victims is still undisclosed.
Virginia Giuffre was simply the most visible such victim: because she was brave enough to come forward and wage a public battle – a campaign that, it was hoped, would encourage others to go public too.
However, her trials and tribulations, and her premature death – whether by suicide or not – might actually serve the opposite purpose: and discourage others from trying to expose their powerful abusers or seek justice.
The praise of Giuffre for her bravery and her doggedness is all justified.
But this is all still so depressing.
And the fact that the supposed release of the ‘Epstein Files‘ that the Trump administration had made such a big deal of a few months ago turned out to be a total non-event just demonstrates how powerful figures and parties are still being protected.
At this point, I wouldn’t be shocked if Epstein wasn’t actually dead at all. Maybe Ghislaine Maxwell isn’t even in jail.
Who knows – maybe they’re both safely tucked away in Israel somewhere?
If that sounds paranoid or far-fetched, fine – but nothing is too paranoid or far-fetched anymore when it comes to this stuff.
Remember, it’s not just about all the powerful VIP figures potentially implicated: Epstein and Ghislaine were tied up with the Israeli and American intelligence community.
The web extends very wide. I actually published a whole 45-minute video about this back in 2019: but YouTube deleted it, saying it violated ‘community guidelines’. But I may repost some of that content here shortly.
As for Prince Andrew, yes his reputation is irreparably damaged. But he’ll still continue on in safety and luxury.
The Royal Establishment can make a show of downgrading or shunning him, but it doesn’t have a good history with this kind of stuff. Lest we forget the military funeral that was afforded to Jimmy Savile at the Queen’s request. Or the allegations attached to the Queen’s brother, Lord Mountbatten.
And to this day, Andrew was never made to appear in court or even to be interviewed by authorities.
The amount of money he paid to Giuffre for her to drop her lawsuit has remained undisclosed: but the question of who gets that money now is also in the air, especially given her estrangement from her husband and kids.
There were also claims that her husband Robert Giuffre had physically abused her: these are unproven accusations, but it does raise questions about who’s motives are to be trusted, especially with a large sum of money involved.
‘A tragic end to a tragic story’, seems to be the safe narrative favoured by mainstream reporting on Giuffre’s death at the age of 41. And that’s entirely plausible.
But there will always be doubt.
