Virginia Giuffre Was Under ‘Pressure’ Before Her Death By Suicide

A fellow sex trafficking survivor, Annie Farmer, has claimed that Virginia Giuffre was dealing with “enormous pressure” before taking her own life.

Farmer said that the pressure came from the backlash Giuffre received over her case against the Duke of York, Prince Andrew.

In 2021, Virginia Giuffre filed a lawsuit against the Duke of York, accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was a minor after she was trafficked to him by the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Annie Farmer, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, spoke candidly about Giuffre’s shocking death by suicide.

The sex trafficking survivor suggested that Giuffre’s act of taking her own life was tied to her no longer being able to deal with the pressure that came with her settled sexual abuse case against disgraced royal Prince Andrew.

“I just know that being involved in this case has been an enormous amount of pressure for her, generally, in all the cases she was involved in,” Ms Farmer told the news outlet.

Reflecting further on Giuffre’s death, Farmer noted that there have been people who “have just been really vicious towards” the late 41-year-old ever since she spoke out about her abuse.

She believes this made all the support Giuffre received insufficient to make her life “anything easier.”

“I think for her, it was next level because of that, because of the Prince part in particular,” Farmer added. “I think that was tremendously hard. These kinds of battles, it feels like it’s just always ongoing.”

Indeed, Giuffre faced much backlash from different individuals, including Prince Andrew’s ex, Victoria Hervey.

Upon her suicide, Hervey further smeared the Victims Refuse Silence founder with a post that seemed to suggest that she got what was coming to her.

“When lies catch up to you, there’s no way out,” Hervey wrote on her Instagram story alongside sharing a news report about Giuffre’s suicide.

Following the post, social media users called out Hervey’s actions as “vile” and “despicable.”

The criticism appeared to make her pause her attacks on Giuffre, which she acknowledged in a second post to her story two hours later.

“I have taken the decision to pause my posts on Virginia Giuffre at this time,” she said, per the Daily Mail. “Irrespective of the circumstances, suicide in anyone at any time is tragic, and in a young mother who has children, even more so.”

Concerning Giuffre’s death, the authorities have hinted that there was no foul play involved.

“About 9.50 pm Friday 25 April, emergency services received a report [that] a woman had been located unresponsive at a residence in Neergabby,” read a statement from a WA Police Force spokesperson.

It continued, “Police and St John WA attended and provided emergency first-aid. Sadly, the 41-year-old woman was declared deceased at the scene.”

“The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; early indication is the death is not suspicious,” the statement concluded.

While the autopsy will ultimately determine if Giuffre’s death truly had no foul play involved, a tweet she once made about not being suicidal has raised eyebrows.

She said at the time, “I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal.”

Giuffre continued, “I have made this known to my therapist and GP – If something happens to me – for 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].”
