Virginia Giuffre Memoir To Be Posthumously Released

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most recognized accusers, will have her highlight memoir published in the fall, roughly six months after she died by suicide. Her book describes her experience of survival and her desire for justice through her own words; it was her last project, which she had finished shortly before she died at 41.

Her allegations were instrumental to holding Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell accountable in part and inspired many more people to come forward. Giuffre collaborated with journalist Amy Wallace on the memoir that aired Thursday. She finished that publication before ending her life on April 25.

The 400-page memoir, titled “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice,” has an expected publication date of October 21 by Alfred A. Knopf. Giuffre explicitly communicated that the book should be published no matter what – this was made clear in an email to Wallace weeks before her death, as well. She described the publication of the memoir as her “heartfelt wish,” with hopes it would impact lives and spark greater conversations about systemic abuse issues.

Giuffre’s Account of Abuse

Giuffre said that when she was 16 years old and working at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, Ghislaine Maxwell approached her and introduced her to Epstein. For three years after that, she said she was trafficked out to influential men across the world. Among those men, was British Prince Andrew, who Giuffre sued before ultimately settling. He has denied her allegations, as have all others she implicated.

The Broader Legacy

Epstein was arrested in 2019 for sex trafficking, then died weeks later from suicide ruling. Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 on sex trafficking charges largely using similar tactics as Epstein. Knopf has described Giuffre’s book as “unforgiving and definitive,” and had fact-checked it, vetted it legally, and explicitly left out any reference to Trump. Giuffre, herself, explained her goal was to expose systemic failures to hold people accountable while shedding light on how trafficking continues. Her story continues on beyond her life through the words she left behind.
