In a post to her own social media channel alongside a picture of herself in hospital, Giuffre wrote “This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.”

“I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes.” the post continued.

“S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s**t at the end of the day. Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia,” she added.

In a statement shared with The Guardian, representatives for Giuffre passed on her appreciation for all the support she’s been offered since her diagnosis, explaining that she’d “been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital.”

“She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending.”

Giuffre became a household name after her incredible bravery in speaking out about the abuse she suffered at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein. Later, in 2021, she filed a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew with allegations of sexual assault. Within the same lawsuit, Giuffre claimed that Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell had forced her to have sex with Prince Andrew – who has always denied the accusations. The pair agreed to an out-of-court settlement in 2022, while Maxwell was found guilty of crimes relating to the sex trafficking of young girls and sentenced to 20 years in prison.

The mother of three, whose tireless fight against sex trafficking and child sex abuse, has remained just part of her brave story, was named as one of the incredible marie claire Women of the Year in 2020.

“At times it has been truly frightening speaking up—particularly as a wife and mother concerned about her family,” admited Giuffre at the time. “I’ve had death threats. I know the people I’m speaking out against have limitless power and money—Epstein and Maxwell wielded immense power and often let me know that they would never go to jail. But if I had stayed silent, they would still be running one of the most prolific sex trafficking rings of modern times.”

“The fight is far from over, and we must continue to speak out for the voiceless. I want all survivors to know that it is not their shame to carry any longer, and it never was.”

Updates to come.
