In her posthumous memoir titled “Nobody’s Girl”, Virginia Giuffre shares chilling revelations about her experiences with Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, expressing a profound fear that she might “die a sex slave.” Giuffre's memoir, set to be published on Tuesday, details the extensive abuse she allegedly endured as a teenager, alongside her relentless pursuit of justice for herself and other victims. The book, which has been previewed by the BBC, sheds light on the disturbing realities of Epstein's sex-trafficking ring.
Giuffre recounts the harrowing events of her life during her time with Epstein, stating, “In my years with them, they lent me out to scores of wealthy, powerful people. I was habitually used and humiliated – and in some instances, choked, beaten, and bloodied.” Her memoir not only highlights her suffering but also aims to expose the far-reaching implications of Epstein's actions, which have drawn in numerous high-profile figures, including Prince Andrew.
The publication of Giuffre's memoir is expected to reignite scrutiny over Prince Andrew, who has been accused by Giuffre of sexually assaulting her when she was a teenager. Despite Andrew's vehement denials of the accusations, the ongoing scandal has already led to significant consequences for the royal family. Recently, Andrew announced he would relinquish the use of his royal titles and will no longer be known as the Duke of York, stating, “I have decided, as I always have, to put duty to my family and country first.” However, he will retain his title of “prince” as the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Giuffre's memoir contains new allegations that Andrew's “team” attempted to hire online “trolls” to harass her during her civil case against him in New York. This claim adds another layer to the controversy surrounding Andrew, particularly as Giuffre asserts that she was trafficked by Epstein and forced to engage in sexual acts with him on three occasions. Despite Andrew's insistence that he had never met her, he reportedly paid millions to settle the civil case in 2022.
Reflecting on the settlement, Giuffre stated, “After casting doubt on my credibility for so long – Prince Andrew’s team had even gone so far as to try to hire internet trolls to hassle me – the Duke of York owed me a meaningful apology as well.” This revelation follows earlier reports alleging that Andrew had asked a police officer in 2011 to gather information on Giuffre, a claim currently being investigated by London’s Metropolitan Police.
Further complicating matters for Prince Andrew are newly unearthed emails that contradict his previous statements regarding his friendship with Epstein. In a disastrous 2019 interview with the BBC, Andrew claimed he had severed ties with Epstein in December 2010. However, emails reveal that just a couple of months later, in February 2011, Andrew wrote to Epstein, “It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!”
The release of Giuffre's memoir promises to intensify the ongoing scandal surrounding Epstein and his connections with powerful individuals, further complicating the narrative for those implicated, including Prince Andrew. As the world awaits the full publication of “Nobody’s Girl”, the revelations within are sure to resonate and spark discussions about accountability and justice for victims of abuse.
