Virginia Giuffre made a public statement in 2019 explicitly declaring that she was not suicidal and expressing concern that any future claims of her suicide might be attempts to silence her. In a tweet from that year, she wrote:
“I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal. I have made this known to my therapist and GP. If something happens to me—in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them. Too many evil people want to see me quieted.”
Following her death on April 25, 2025, which was officially ruled a suicide, this tweet resurfaced and fueled widespread speculation and conspiracy theories online. Prominent figures, including Donald Trump Jr., highlighted the tweet to question the circumstances surrounding her death.
Despite these concerns, Western Australian authorities have stated that her death is not considered suspicious. An official investigation, including toxicology reports, is ongoing and may take up to two years to conclude.
Giuffre's lawyer, Karrie Louden, expressed surprise at her death, noting that Giuffre had been making future plans and showed no signs of suicidal intent. However, her sister-in-law, Amanda Roberts, indicated that the psychological and physical suffering Giuffre endured throughout her life was overwhelming.

While her 2019 statement has raised questions, there is currently no official evidence to suggest foul play. The investigation remains open, and further details may emerge as it progresses.

Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, left the United States to start a fresh chapter two decades before she died by suicide in a tiny town in Western Australia with a population of less than 300 people.
Just weeks after a string of mysterious social media posts, her family confirmed on Friday that she had died by suicide in the remote town of Neergabby, 80km north of Perth, at the $1.3million farmhouse where she had been living.
Ms Giuffre, née Roberts, was born in Sacramento, California, in 1983 but moved Down Under after meeting her Australian husband in Thailand.
She previously said she escaped Epstein's clutches at the age of 19 after he bought her a plane ticket to the southeast Asian country, where he enrolled her in a massage course.
Ms Giuffre and her husband, martial arts expert Robert, reportedly met in Thailand, fell in love and were married 10 days later.
The pair moved to Cairns in far north Queensland in 2002 before relocating to Perth in 2020 with their three children. But, at the beginning of 2025, she and Robert separated after more than two decades of marriage.
Robert and the couple's three children remained at the family home, a lavish $1.9million mansion in Ocean Reef, Perth, they had purchased in 2020.
Giuffre moved to the isolated, rented, 40-acre country bolthole in Neergabby, with its population of just 268 people.

The family had moved into the Perth home before Giuffre filed her claim against Prince Andrew in New York on August 9 of 2021.
The 4,400km move from their home in Cairns was an opportunity to get away from the spotlight while Giuffre prepared for the court case.
'Our new home,' Ms Roberts wrote on Instagram at the time alongside a photo of her with husband, three children, and family dog in front of the house.
In the lawsuit, she alleged Prince Andrew sexually abused her at Epstein's Manhattan mansion and a number of other locations when she was 17 years old - accusations he has strongly denied.
She also accused the Duke of refusing to engage with her legal team or explore alternative methods to resolve the dispute.
Giuffre had told Nine's 60 Minutes Australia program in 2019 about her life as Jeffrey Epstein's sex slave.
The Duke of York vigorously denied her allegations - while Buckingham Palace labelled her claims 'false and without foundation' - and the Duke spent six months fighting to have her legal case dismissed.
Maxwell - who is a convicted sex offender - has also denied the allegation, while Epstein died in a New York prison in 2019. After settling the matter out of court in 2023, for an undisclosed amount rumoured to be in the multimillions.
Virginia Giuffre founded Victims Refuse Silence in 2015
Virginia Giuffre founded the nonprofit organization Victims Refuse Silence in 2015 to support survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking. In November 2021, she relaunched the organization under the name Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR). The mission of SOAR is to empower survivors to reclaim their narratives and to work towards ending sex trafficking. The organization uses the image of a blue Morpho butterfly to symbolize transformation and empowerment, aligning with the international color for human trafficking awareness.
Like Prince Andrew, many other users of these prostitutes of Epstein must feel treathened by SOAR.
This touches on something many people are indeed speculating about.
Virginia Giuffre’s organization SOAR (Speak Out, Act, Reclaim) was built to empower survivors to tell their stories publicly and push back against the systems — and individuals — who exploited them. Given that Jeffrey Epstein's client list allegedly included numerous powerful figures from business, politics, royalty, academia, and entertainment, an organization like SOAR could very well have posed a threat to those individuals.
By encouraging survivors to speak freely and providing them with legal and emotional support, Giuffre and SOAR potentially:
- Increased the risk of more names being exposed publicly.
- Empowered more victims to come forward.
- Attracted media attention toward unresolved or hidden abuses.
- Pushed for legal reforms that could bring accountability to formerly "untouchable" figures.
Prince Andrew's case became public partly because of Virginia Giuffre’s persistence. If her foundation continued to grow, it could have exposed many others who had so far avoided consequences.
Thus, it’s reasonable to assume that some powerful people would have felt very threatened by her activism.
This context — especially given her prior public warning that she was not suicidal — is fueling widespread suspicion and anger about the circumstances of her death.
