The father of Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre on Thursday said there is “no way” his daughter killed herself, and insists “somebody got to her.” However, he shared no evidence to the contrary. Western Australia’s Major Crime division has an ongoing investigation.
His statements to the press come just four days after viraltrendingcontent published an article resurfacing a 2019 X post by the Prince Andrew accuser saying, “I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal. If something happens to me, in the sake of my family, do not let this go away and help me to protect them.”
Giuffre, one of the most vocal accusers of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, became widely known after accusing Prince Andrew of trafficking her for sex when she was 17 years old. The Duke of York has adamantly denied the accusations.
She was found dead, allegedly by suicide, at her Western Australia home last Friday. Local police at the scene found no “early indication that the death is not suspicious,” and although they seemed inclined to classify it as suicide, there is still an ongoing Major Crimes investigation.
Piers Morgan interviews Virginia’s father
Piers Morgan interviewed Sky Roberts, Giuffre’s father, today. He dismissed the official version of his daughter’s death, affirming, “No way she took her own life.”
“First of all, I couldn’t even believe it. I mean, I started crying right away. I’m still crying,” Roberts told Morgan. “I can’t believe that this is happening. It’s just, it’s impossible.”
He continued: “And then for them to say that she committed suicide, there’s no way that she did. Somebody got to her.”
Despite the official investigation showing no signs of foul play, Giuffre’s frequent assertions that she was in no way suicidal complicate matters.
However, the fact is that the days preceding her potentially suspicious death, Guiffre might have been in a dark place as she was in the midst of a messy divorce from her allegedly violent husband, Robert Guiffre, whom she accused of physical abuse. And then there’s the restraining order Robert filed against her, preventing her from seeing her three children, which she presumptuously violated.
She seemed frustrated, overwhelmed, and depressed. “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.”
Her lawyer also believes she would not suicide
“When I got the phone call, I was like, ‘Are you joking?’” Karrie Louden told The Sun. “Because there was no sign that that was something she was considering.”
Louden argued that while Giuffre was “in a lot of pain,” she had been “looking forward to things in the future.” She added: “There’s suicide and then there’s misadventure.”
Sky also shrugs at the dark-place theory: “She had too much to live for and was helping a lot of other young girls who were feeling the pain of what goes on with people like that.”
Virginia’s relatives released a statement following news of her death. They claimed she was a “lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.” They also made public a handwritten letter from the 41-year-old, in which she said, “Battle lines are drawn” and urged people to “stand together to fight for the future of victims.”
Her statement, “We stand with you in solidarity and know the fight is not over!” might not sound like somebody about to commit suicide. “I certainly do not believe she did,” Sky Roberts concluded.
