Virginia Giuffre has broken her silence for the first time since her frightening social media post claiming she had ‘four days to live’.
Giuffre – an alleged victim of disgraced American financier Jeffrey Epstein who has accused Prince Andrew of abusing her as a teen, which the royal denies – shared the disturbing post last Sunday.
‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,’ she wrote.
Now Giuffre has spoken out about her deteriorating health, telling US publication People of an incident she says occurred in January.
‘I was able to fight back against Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein who abused and trafficked me… I can no longer stay silent,’ she told the publication in a statement.
‘Again, I thank everyone for their support.’
Giuffre had been involved in a collision with a bus travelling in rural Western Australia on March 24, but the bus driver, WA Police and multiple other witnesses said the crash was not as serious as she had made out online.
Giuffre’s American brother, Sky Roberts, clarified his sister’s ‘four days to live’ claim, saying she was told by doctors she would have died in that timeframe if she did not receive treatment.

Mr Roberts said his sister’s injuries likely weren’t solely caused by the bus crash.
‘Let’s be clear, she never stated in the bus accident the cause of all her other injuries,’ Mr Roberts said.
While Giuffre’s brother admitted he didn’t know the specifics of ‘what happened internally to her’, he said her injuries were ‘consistent’ with a car crash.
‘Nobody ever said her liver issues and kidney failure were ever from that,’ he said.
‘We still don’t know if it is, I’m not a medical professional. That’s up to her doctor to determine.’
Giuffre’s spokeswoman told People she is ‘marginally better but still in serious condition’ after undergoing treatment at a hospital in Perth.
The update on her condition comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed the lonely life Giuffre has led since the breakdown of her family.
Giuffre claimed she was trafficked as a 17-year-old to have sex with Prince Andrew.

In February 2022, the Duke of York paid her an undisclosed amount, reportedly in the millions, to settle the case, though he denied any wrongdoing and the payment came with no admission of liability.
Afterwards, Giuffre made a fresh start by acquiring a $1.3million country property for her family, with the sprawling 40-acre farm boasting two separate homes, stables and multiple outbuildings. It is less than an hour north from the family’s beachfront mansion in Perth.
To outsiders, the high-security gated property looks like an idyllic place to bring up children with a babbling brook, horses and a custom-built dirt bike track around the perimeter.
But in reality, the 40-acre property is a gilded cage, surrounded by barbed wire fences and high-tech CCTV.
No doubt Giuffre wanted to shield her three teenage children, a daughter and two sons, from prying eyes, previously admitting her profile was ‘a lot for them to carry’.

She also appears to be estranged from her children. They attended school this past week though no sign of them was seen at Guiffre’s hospital during visiting hours.
Her eldest son is no longer ‘friends’ with his mum on social media.
Giuffre is also accused of breaching a family violence restraining order at the family home and is due to face Joondalup court on April 9.
‘You don’t know the half of it,’ one neighbour told Daily Mail Australia. ‘I can’t really say anymore, but none of this surprises me.’
It is not known if she will be discharged for the court date as hospital sources said ‘it looks like she may be here for a few more days still’.
When she does leave hospital, she is expected to return to the farm where she now lives an almost reclusive life, cut off from the outside world and now, it appears, her family.
