Conspiracy theorists unearth Virginia Giuffre post about death

Conspiracy theorists have dug up an old post from Virginia Giuffre, following her sudden and heartbreaking death aged just 41.

Virginia Giuffre dies aged 41

The family of Virginia Giuffre, who accused Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, confirmed she died by suicide, but conspiracy theorists have dug up an old post where she sternly warned she would never take her life.

The New York Post reports the Epstein victim turned whistleblower made the statement in a post on X in 2019, replying to another user who claimed the “F.B.I. will kill her to protect the ultra rich and well connected.”

“I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal,” she wrote. “I have made this known to my therapist and GP – If something happens to me – in 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].”

The old tweet was resurfaced on X and shared by well-known US conservatives including House Republicans Nancy Mace and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Rep. Mace shared the screenshot of Ms Giuffre’s old tweet, saying “This gave me goosebumps.”

Rep. Taylor Green posted a photo of Ms Giuffre with Prince Andrew, who she also accused of sex trafficking, with the words, “The truth needs to come out more matter who is responsible (sic.)”

Ms Giuffre’s family confirmed the suicide in a statement released after her death.

“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” the 41-year-old’s family said.

“She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”

Ms Giuffre’s paternal uncle, Jet Roberts, told The Post he had only learned of his niece’s suicide on Saturday morning, and was unaware of any conspiracy theories about her death.

“She was a very nice person who had a lot of bad luck,” he said sadly, declining to give further detail before adding the family is taking her death hard.

Ms Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley, mourned her in a statement.

“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 said. “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.”

The advocate’s suicide came just weeks after she made headlines for saying she had “four days to live” following a collision with a bus.

The bus driver later disputed Ms Giuffre’s claim about the seriousness of the incident.

Ms Giuffre had separated from her husband of two decades in January, and apparently left him and their three children in their $1.9 million mansion in the Ocean Reef section of Perth in Western Australia and moved an hour north to a tiny town of less than 300 people called Neergabby.

She wrote about being apart from her children last month on Instagram, posting a carousel of photos of her kids and writing how much she missed them, hinting at possible parental alienation.

“My beautiful babies have no clue how much I love them and they’re being poisoned with lies. I miss them so very much,” she wrote on March 22.

“I have been through hell & back in my 41 years but this is incredibly hurting me worse than anything else. Hurt me, abuse me but don’t take my babies. My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens.”

First responders found Ms Giuffre unresponsive in her home near Perth, and local authorities said her death is being probed by Major Crime detectives, but the “early indication is the death is not suspicious,” the BBC reported.

Ms Giuffre took legal action against billionaire financier and convicted pedophile Epstein in 2015, alleging she was sex trafficked at 16 after his ex-lover and convicted madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, recruited her from her job as a locker room attendant at US President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

She also alleged she was forced to have sex with disgraced Prince Andrew three times when she was 17 — including at Epstein’s Little St. James island, in New Mexico and in Maxwell’s London home, where a notorious photo of her posing with King Charles’ brother was taken.

The allegations became the biggest scandal to rock the royal family in a generation.

Prince Andrew has long denied the allegations — but settled out of court with his accuser.

“Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors,” her family told NBC News.
