Virginia Giuffre, who has accused deceased convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein and Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, claims she was given four days to live by doctors.
Virginia Giuffre, who has accused deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as well as Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, claims she has four days to live after a car crash involving a school bus.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, March 30, Giuffre shared a photo of herself in the hospital covered in bruises, saying she has gone into renal failure.
“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,” she wrote.
“They’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,” she added.
Giuffre said that she’s “ready to go” and that she hopes to see her children “one last time.”
She ended the post by thanking her supporters. “Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life,” she wrote.
Giuffre said that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked her to rich and powerful men, including Prince Andrew, when she was a teenager. Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. (Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of child sex trafficking in 2021 in connection with Epstein, but not Prince Andrew.)

In 2021, Giuffre sued Prince Andrew in New York, but the two reached an out-of-court settlement in February 2022. The amount was not disclosed.
Giuffre claimed in the suit that the royal forced her to have sex with him three times between 1999 and 2002 in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein, who died by suicide in August 2019 in a New York City jail while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges.
In a previous statement shared with PEOPLE, Giuffre said, “I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me. The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.”
Prince Andrew defended himself in a 2019 BBC interview in which he addressed his relationship with Epstein and Giuffre’s allegations, “I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever. It just never happened.”
Following the interview’s backlash, Prince Andrew announced that he would be stepping back from public duties.
Guiffre has since founded Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR), a non-profit organization which provides support for survivors of sexual assault.
