Speaker 1 (00:01):
Virginia Giffrey, the Perth based woman who spoke out against
Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein, says she has four days
left to live.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Let's catch up on this.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Who's our entertainment editor of Pitiford Pete.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What's the latest with this?
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Well, it's a very sad and unexpected twist in this
story of Virginia Giuffrey, which has gone on for many years.
This photograph is the photograph that really will be forever
remembered in sort of pop culture history because it changed
the lives of so many people. Prince Andrew, Gallaine Maxwell,
in the home of Jeffrey Epstein, and then Virginia Giufray
(00:34):
or sometimes in the early days when we started hearing
about a Virginia Roberts, she was known as and all
of those lives have changed. And now today we have
this very dramatic twist in the story. She has gone
on to her Instagram to announce that last week she
was involved in an accident with a bus. That is
the photograph that she's posted from her hospital bed.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Now she's gone into a cute renal failure.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
You would just sit on this photograph for a minute,
if you would please, because look at that.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Presumably that's in ICU.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Very odd I would have thought to be wearing jewelry
in ICU, and I would have also thought very odd
to not be wearing.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
A hospital gown in ICU.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
If you have days to live, presumably you would either
be in ICU or you would be hooked up to
a dialysis machine. But that is the photograph that she
has provided to make this announcement. Now she's indicated the
final wish that she has is to be reunited with
her children. She recently has been involved in a breakup,
a marital breakup, and it would seem, judging by a
(01:38):
post from ten days ago, that she doesn't have access
to her children and that's what she desperately wants before
it is too late.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Now, as I.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Mentioned to you, in Perth, she says this accident happened
last week. We believe she's been living in Perth. The
cops in the west that they have no record of
a bus hitting a car last week. They can't run
as search by name, but in terms of the details
provided they say no such event happened last week in Perth,
(02:08):
assuming that's where she's saying this happened. Now, Virginia certainly
has shown herself to be extremely resilient, incredibly strong through
the years, taking on very powerful people and a lot
of people working against her, and still will will come
back to that. But here's a little that indicates to
you the strength of a Virginia Giufrey.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
In this cliff.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Now you might recall as part of a civil suit,
she was paid a massive amount of money.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
We don't know exactly how much.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
It was rumored to be between three and eleven million pounds,
which you know, that's a big variation, I know, but
either way, it's a sort of money that will set
you up for life. And you would like to think
the story ends with she lived happily ever after, but
that would seem not to be the case at all.
Now people are already coming after her, Lady Victoria Harvey,
(02:57):
who does have very strong royal connections, calling this out.
That's the post that Lady Victoria Harvey has put up there.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Pretty brutal, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
She is saying, I don't believe this at all, and
she's making claims about an investigation that is currently underway
into Virginia. So those are the claims of Lady Victoria Harvey. Look,
I'm taking it on face value. The photograph is very dramatic.
It would seem odd to me personally to be if
you have days to live that you're putting posts onto
(03:28):
social media. But people think differently about all that stuff
that I do. Also, in reference to her father who
has responded, I have checked out that account, and that
account Herney has nine followers. And also the father, if
it is the father, has never posted before on Instagram,
so you would think what he would be saying in
a message like that is how can I contact you privately?
(03:50):
But that's not what the message is indicating. So I'm
a funny feeling this story is not over, okay.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
New accusations have been made meantime following Prince Harry's departure
from the charity center Balig.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, I've got a funny feel.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Think we're going to get a drip feed on this
one with little snippets every day. And the latest is
a claim that has been made that a letter was
sent to doctor Selvi Chanduku to say, you know, why
haven't you done as I asked you to do. You
might recall the scene on the stage at the Polo event,
but doctor Sophie was there, Meghan was there was very
(04:23):
awkward to say the least.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
There you go. That's that famous vision. Infamous vision now.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
And Prince Harry wanted Doctor Sophie to put out a
statement to say Meghan did nothing wrong, leave her alone. Now,
she would not do that because she said, we're not
an extension of the stas six pr machine. My only
interest is the charity, and so she wouldn't do it.
And that's when it's believed she got a letter that
is described as being unpleasant and imperious from Prince Harry.
(04:51):
So I think a lot of stuff will be leaking
out over the next few weeks.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, I got to say, Pete, that suits us because
we don't want to get one big story in the
medal with it, like assigned thirty to forty seconds in
this segment each day. It's one less story we have
to chase. Ryan Reynolds has also found himself in a
bit of hot water over a plane trip.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah, yeah, these stories really get people going. So he
co owns the Rexham team in the UK, and the
Rexham team did hire a private jet to travel one
hundred and fifty miles.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Now that in itself upsets people.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
People say, you know, why can't you get a bus,
you know, get a train anything. Why do he had
to have a private plane to go and travel that
relatively short distance took about thirty seven minutes in the air. Now,
what makes it even worse is that only four days later,
Ryan Reynolds and members of the Rexham team actually went
to New York to the United Nations to talk about
(05:47):
how important it was to look after the environment. So
that's the sort of thing that upsets people when you
have celebrities preaching to you about the things you should
be doing, and yet they're flying around.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
In private jets.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
We get exact puts up this every week, Ryan Reynolds
is the latest one.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Okay, thank you, Pete.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
We'll chulated in the same one
