When Survivors Silence Survivors: My Experience with Virginia Roberts Giuffre

For years, Virginia Roberts Giuffre has been upheld as a symbol of strength in the fight against sex trafficking — a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse who stood up to power. I believed in her. I reached out to her for support, hoping that someone who had walked through the fire might extend a hand to another survivor.

She NEVER replied and instead BLOCKED me. Some advocate!

Instead, she tried to burn me down.

I was encouraged by bystanders to reach out to her attorney, Brad Edwards

Then a fellow survivor and advocate forwarded me this private message she received about me. This particular person Andrew has since witnessed the wrath of Maria and Virginia and has apologized to me profusely.

On December 30, 2020, Virginia Roberts Giuffre tweeted about me, saying I had “serious mental health issues,” accused me of fabricating my story “from thin air,” and labeled me a liar — all because I had the courage to share my truth. She ended her statement by claiming, “I would never go against ANY other victims or survivors.”

But she did. She went against me.

I was not trying to steal attention. I was trying to heal. I didn’t need fame — I needed someone to say, “I believe you.” Instead, she blocked me, publicly humiliated me, and tried to discredit me using the exact tactics abusers use to silence their victims.

And while no attorney would help me at the time, she did this to other.

Rina (Oh) Amen.

Rina has been successfully suing Virginia (now her estate) for defamation and emotional distress over the cruel attacks and has also painted and posted about the Prince Andrew photo with Virginia as being faked.

Created.

Rina has been very brave in speaking out and having to defend herself as worthy of justice. Still no one bats an eye. Why is this acceptable for the CEO of a victim help organization to behave this way and media says NOTHING?

What makes it worse?

Court documents now show that Virginia Roberts Giuffre was 18 at the time when she and her boyfriend recruited a 14-year-old girl named Carolyn Andriano into Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. This isn’t a rumor — this is on the record. Despite this, Virginia has faced little to no public accountability, while the people she harmed — people like me — are left with the fallout.

She claims to be a champion for victims. But real champions don’t throw other survivors under the bus to protect their brand.

I know what I lived. I know what I survived. And I won’t be erased or discredited by someone who still hasn’t told the whole truth. This isn’t about revenge — it’s about reality. It’s about naming the harm so we can stop pretending that fame equals integrity, or that victimhood excuses all actions.

I’m speaking out because too many survivors are told to stay quiet — especially when the one who harmed them wears the same “survivor” label. But survival isn’t a competition. And healing doesn’t come at the expense of someone else’s voice.

To those reading this who have ever been silenced, shamed, or shut out — I believe you. Keep going. Keep telling your truth.

I won’t stop telling mine.

And don’t even get me started on the blackmail KOMPROMAT. No one goes there as it would unravel everything.

Blackmail KOMPROMAT mentioned by Virginia herself in her posthumous memoir.

Also, if you go to Lady Victoria Hervey’s Instagram page you’ll see the royal family blackmail items posted to her stories/highlights still.

International network survivor Joanna was being attacked so viciously she had to privately beg Virginia to try to make it stop.

Harassment by Virginia’s survivor sister Maria Farmer whom she cheered on to attack and mock me. I had to reach out to Teresa Helm (another survivor) connected with Virgina’s organization “helping” other survivors to get the harassment to stop. It went on for YEARS. Why were/are they behaving this way?

Now keep in mind I knew none of this about the KOMPROMAT blackmailing when I first reached out to Virginia. It wasn’t until after she weirdly attacked me and blocked me while running an organization that supposedly helps victims like myself to make me investigate her further as to what’s really going on here.

We all deserve the truth. The whole planet is seeking it.

In the meantime I’ve sent EVERYTHING to the FBI and media.

British journalist Sonia Poulton witnessed everything unfold live on Twitter in 2020. She saw the coordinated harassment happening to me, to other survivors who tried to support me, and eventually to herself — simply for investigating and trying to listen. Despite the risk, Sonia platformed me multiple times, giving me space to speak when no one else in the media would. Her courage came at a cost, as she too was attacked by Maria Farmer and others for refusing to look away.
