Virginia Giuffre, a vocal accuser of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, tragically took her own life in Western Australia.
While her death was labeled “not suspicious,” she had previously denied any suicidal intentions in 2019, warning of potential harm from influential individuals.
Virginia Giuffre’s family confirmed her death by suicide, remembering her as a fierce advocate against sexual abuse.

In 2019, Giuffre responded to a post on X suggesting that the FBI might silence her to protect powerful individuals.
She said at the time, “I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal.”
Giuffre continued, “I have made this known to my therapist and GP – If something happens to me – for the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. Too many evil people want to see me [quieted].”
In the wake of her tragic passing, the post resurfaced on X and set tongues wagging, especially among notable conservatives, including Republican firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Greene, reacting to the Epstein accuser’s death, posted a photo of a young Giuffre with Prince Andrew, whom she accused of sex trafficking, with the caption, “The truth needs to come out, more matter who is responsible [sic.]”

Remembering her as a courageous advocate, her family paid tribute to her fight for justice, stating: “Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors.”

In a chat with the New York Post, Giuffre’s uncle, Jet Roberts, revealed that he had only learned of her death on Saturday morning and was unaware of any conspiracy theories surrounding it.
“She was a kind person who faced a lot of misfortune,” he said, before adding that the family deeply mourns her loss.
In a moving statement, Sigrid McCawley, Giuffre’s attorney, also expressed profound grief.
She said, “Virginia Giuffre was much more than a client to me, she was a dear friend. Virginia was fearless, and her courage pushed me to fight harder.”
McCawley continued, “Virginia’s sunny strength was contagious, and her smile spread hope to so many. She lifted us all to be better, and so we must be better. The world has lost a light that shone bright. Rest in peace, my sweet angel.”
Giuffre’s long-time spokesperson, Dini von Mueffling, paid tribute to her, calling her “one of the most extraordinary human beings I have ever had the honor to know.”
She described Giuffre as a “beacon to other survivors and victims” and emphasized that it had been “a privilege of a lifetime” to represent her.

After sharing a post online about being involved in a bus accident, Giuffre made a claim about being a victim of physical assault by her husband, Robert Giuffre.
“I was able to fight back against Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, who abused and trafficked me,” the 41-year-old wrote in a statement to People Magazine.
She added, “But I was unable to escape the domestic violence in my marriage until recently. After my husband’s latest physical assault, I can no longer stay silent.”
Although Giuffre did not confirm when the “latest physical assault” occurred, a rep for her informed the news outlet that the 41-year-old had reported an assault to the authorities on January 9, 2025.
Giuffre’s brother’s wife, Amanda, also claimed that the incident occurred and that the sexual abuse victim advocate “almost died” from the injuries she sustained.
“I think the last incident that they had, she almost died,” Amanda said. “And we had to speak that truth with her on the phone. And I think she had acknowledged that if she had one more instance with him, she wasn’t making it out of there.”
Virginia Giuffre: Vocal Accuser Of Jeffrey Epstein And Prince Andrew
Before her untimely passing, Giuffre was one of the most vocal accusers of convicted sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, his former associate.
In 2015, Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Epstein, accusing him of sex trafficking after Maxwell allegedly recruited her from her job at Mar-a-Lago.
She further claimed that she was coerced into having sex with British royal, Prince Andrew, three times at the age of 17.
Although the Duke of York has denied these allegations, he reportedly reached a multi-million dollar settlement with Giuffre in 2022.
In an unsigned letter included with the settlement filing, Andrew acknowledged that Giuffre has endured significant trauma as an “established victim” of sexual abuse but maintained that he does not admit to any wrongdoing.
