Virginia Guiffre’s old social media post claiming she is not suicidal sparks conspiracy theories as she becomes Jeffrey Epstein’s third victim to die

Share post:


Conspiracy theories have been surging with the sharing of a social media post by Virginia Giuffre saying she was not suicidal.

The US president’s son Donald Trump Jr has been among those drawing attention to a haunting online comment by Jeffrey Epstein victim Ms Giuffre.

She died on Friday aged 41, with a family statement saying she had killed herself at her farm home near Perth in Australia.

The tragedy comes after two other young victims of billionaire convicted paedophile Epstein previously died.

There has been focus on a post Ms Giuffre wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in December 2019, in which she wrote: ‘I am making it publicy [sic] known that in no way, shape or form am I sucidal [sic].

‘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 quiteted [sic].’

Donald Trump Jr has now shared the post more widely, including to his 15million followers on Elon Musk-owned X, adding the words: ‘This is wild.’ 

Ms Giuffre was one of the most prominent accusers of convicted sex offenders Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, who she said kept her as a sex slave while flying her around the world and offering to their powerful associates ‘like a platter of fruit’.

She alleged they trafficked her to the Duke of York when she was 17 and was three times sexually assaulted by him – a claim which Prince Andrew has denied.

The prince reached an out-of-court settlement with her in 2022.

Ms Giuffre won a multi-million pound settlement from Prince Andrew following claims she had been forced to have sex with him three times at the age of 17 when she was trafficked by his friend Epstein.

Andrew has denied her allegations and said he could not recall ever meeting her.

A photograph has been widely shared of them together in a London townhouse, his arm around her bare midriff, and was included in Ms Giuffre’s lawsuit against him.

Now, following news of Ms Giuffre’s death on Friday, President Trump ally Laura Loomer has pointed to a car crash the Epstein victim was in on March 24 as evidence of a conspiracy against her.

Ms Loomer wrote on X: ‘I don’t believe Virginia Giuffre committed suicide. Just like I don’t believe Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. First she gets in a car crash, now they say she killed herself? Sounds like someone wanted her dead.’

Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on Instagram that Ms Giuffre had died by ‘suicide’ – pointedly putting the word in quotemarks.

The Georgia politician posted: ‘The truth needs to come out more matter who is responsible.’

Another of Epstein’s victims, Carolyn Adriano, was found dead in a hotel room in May 2023 – having previously given testimony that put Ghislaine Maxwell in prison.

The 36-year-old mother-of-five died from a suspected accidental overdose, police said at the time, though her mother Dorothy Groener called for more information – saying: ‘Nobody’s giving me any answers.

‘This is my daughter, and she deserves justice. She got to a point where she was turning her whole life around.’

That came after another of Epstein’s victims, Leigh Patrick, died of a heroin overdose in Palm Beach in Florida, in May 2017, weeks short of turning 30.

She previously told DailyMail.com in an unpublished interview in 2015 about her abuse by Epstein.

Following her death, Ms Patrick’s twin Selby said: ‘My sister suffered tremendously – and it started with Epstein. Something happened in her when she met him that got her out of control.

‘She struggled with addiction since the time she met that guy. She went to rehab several times. She fought hard, but she eventually succumbed to the addiction. We miss her.’

Recent concerns for Ms Giuffre’s wellbeing began on March 30, when she shared a photograph of herself from her hospital bed covered in bruises, with her left eye nearly swollen shut.

The photograph showed discoloration to her face and chest, which has been described as severe bruising.

She claimed she had ‘four days to live’ and that she had kidney failure.

Western Australia Police publicly dismissed the severity of Giuffre’s collision, describing it as a ‘minor’ accident that left no one injured. She was discharged on April 7.

Her family later came out and said she had been on painkillers when she posted to Instagram and believed she was writing on a private social media page.

Weeks after the crash, Ms Giuffre then claimed in April that her husband, Robert, whom she had three children with, was beating her. They had recently split up after 22 years of marriage.

In a statement to People, she said: ‘I was able to fight back against Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein who abused and trafficked me. 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. Again, I thank everyone for their support. I have faith that justice will prevail.’

Her husband has so far not responded to the allegations.

Ms Giuffre’s family confirmed her death in a statement on Friday, writing that she had lost her life to suicide after dealing with being a sex trafficking victim in her teens.

They wrote: ‘It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia.

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

‘Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors. In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight.’

Her family added that ‘the light of her life’ were her children Christian, Noah and Emily.

They added: ‘It was when she held her newborn daughter in her arms that Virginia realised she had to fight back against those who had abused her and so many others.’

A Western Australia Police Force spokesperson has told the Mail preliminary findings indicated Ms Giuffre’s death was ‘not suspicious’ and that paramedics had provided ’emergency first aid’ shortly after arriving at the home.

The force said: ‘About 9.50pm Friday 25 April, emergency services received a report a woman had been located unresponsive at a residence in Neergabby.

‘Police and St John WA attended and provided emergency first-aid. Sadly, the 41-year-old woman was declared deceased at the scene.

‘The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; early indication is the death is not suspicious.’

Epstein killed himself in August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges involving dozens of teenage girls and young women, some as young as 14.

In lawsuits, Ms Giuffre said she was a teenage spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach club, when she was approached in 2000 by Epstein’s girlfriend and later employee Maxwell.

Ms Giuffre said Maxwell hired her as a masseuse for Epstein, but the couple effectively made her a sexual servant, pressuring her into gratifying not only Epstein but his friends and associates.

Originally born in Florida, Ms Giuffre had moved to Australia with her husband Robert in 2019 prior to Epstein being arrested. The couple shared three children.

Prince Andrew, 65, stepped back from frontline royal duties in 2019 following controversy over his former friendship with Epstein.

Andrew, who has previously strenuously denied allegations against him, paid millions a year ago to settle a civil case out of court with Ms Giuffre.

There was no admission of guilt after she accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17.

Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Ms Giuffre, formerly Roberts, said in a 2015 lawsuit she was made by Epstein to have sex with Prince Andrew on three separate occasions when she was 17 – and later, in 2021, she filed a lawsuit against the prince over the alleged encounters.
