In Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Virginia Giuffre opens up about the full, unrelenting scope of her trauma — the kind that doesn’t fade with time or distance. She writes about how, for years after escaping Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit, the abuse followed her in the form of brutal, recurring nightmares. These dreams, she says, weren’t abstract or distant; they were graphic replays of the hell she endured. In them, she relives the moments of being trapped and powerless — “greedy, heaving men on top of me,” as she describes in one passage — faces of powerful men she says she could never forget no matter how much therapy or time passed. These weren’t just faceless monsters in her dreams, but the same influential figures who smiled for cameras by day and committed atrocities behind closed doors. Each nightmare pulled her back into that same room, that same suffocating darkness, where her voice was taken and her body wasn’t hers to protect.

Giuffre writes that even as she built a life beyond Epstein, married, and became a mother, the shadows of her past crept into every quiet moment. The nightmares would come without warning, often triggered by a sound, a smell, or a fleeting image — and they would leave her in tears, shaking and gasping for air. In Nobody’s Girl, she describes waking up drenched in sweat, her heart pounding, the faces of her abusers flashing before her eyes. The emotional toll was relentless: feelings of shame, self-blame, and fear blended into a kind of nightly punishment for crimes she never committed. Through therapy, advocacy, and confronting her past publicly, she began to reclaim fragments of peace — but even then, she admits that healing isn’t clean or complete. Her nightmares became both a curse and a reminder: a symbol of the damage inflicted not just by Epstein and Maxwell, but by the entire system of enablers who let it happen.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
Epstein Chronicles. You ever notice how the same people pretending
to care now about Jeffrey Epstein's survivors were silent as
a church mouse when Virginia was screaming into the void.
Back then, nobody wanted to hear her story. She wasn't
a brave survivor to them, She was just some troubled
girl they could dismiss. While they sat pool aside with Epstein,

(00:22):
sipping cocktails and pretending the stench of what he was
doing wasn't hanging in the air. The whole damn world
looked the other way while this poor kid was getting
passed around by rich degenerates who thought laws were for
the rest of us peasants. Virginia wasn't just asking for help,
she was crying and begging for it. And the soul
called pillars of justice, the media, the politicians, the prosecutors,

(00:46):
they all shrugged and went back to protecting the donor
class because money talks, and morality takes a hike when
billionaires start writing checks. Yo, Virginia was a kid, for
God's sakes, She was barely out of childhood, working out
mar a lago when Epstein and Glaine roped her in
to their sick little world, and from there it was
a horror show dressed up as high society, private jets,

(01:08):
fancy dinners, luxury homes, all just gilded cages where the
powerful came to feed on innocence. They called her lucky.
Can you believe that? Lucky to be abused by the elite?
Lucky to be a plaything for princes, professors and politicians.
And the worst part, half of those creeps are still
out there, walking free, pretending like they didn't know, like

(01:28):
they weren't part of it. You can't spend that much
time around the filth and not reek of it. Epstein's
Little Black Book wasn't just a contact list, it was
a map of moral rots, stretching from Wall Street to
Buckingham Palace, and all the while Virginia was trying to
tell her story, trying to be heard, and the system
slammed the door directly in her face. The FBI had

(01:49):
the reports, the prosecutors had witnesses, the media had leads,
but they didn't want to burn their bridges with the
people who signed their paychecks. So what happened. They let
her suffer. Let more girls suffer. They let a predator
with an island and a phone book operate out in
the open for decades because calling them out might have
made things uncomfortable. If just one person in power had

(02:11):
done their job, if one prosecutor, one agent, one journalist
had the guts to say enough, Epstein would have been
in a cell long before he died. But they didn't.
They chose to look the other way, to protect their
golf buddies, their campaign donors, their friends on the guest list.
They didn't care that a teenage girl was being broken
and trafficked. They cared about keeping their invitations. And now

(02:35):
they all act shocked like they had no clue the
fucking audacity of it. The same people who broke bread
with them, who flew on his plane, who stated his mansions,
Now they clutch their pearls and say we didn't know, yo.
Spare me the performance. Virginia deserved justice when she was sixteen,
not after the monster who hurt her was dead and buried.

(02:57):
And don't tell me the system worked. The system felded her.
It felled all of them, because when they're rich to evil,
they don't get punished, They get protected. They don't get arrested,
they get pr teams, and we're just supposed to sit
here and pretend the circus is justice. The truth is
Virginia was sacrificed on the altar of influence, and now
the people who let it happen are rewriting history, pretending

(03:20):
they were always on her side. But we remember, we
saw it. We know who kept quiet when it mattered most.
So maybe if the people now pretending to care had
actually listened back then, maybe if they treated Virginia's cries
like the alarm bell they were instead of an inconvenience,
we could have ended Epstein's reign of terror before it
even started. But that's not how the world works, is

(03:42):
it not. When billionaires and blue bloods are involved, justice
isn't blind. She's on retainer, and for girls like Virginia Roberts,
the truth only matters once it's too late. Today's article
is from the US Sun and the headline Sick of Nightmares.
Prince Andrew, accuser of Virginia Roberts, claim she was haunted

(04:03):
by images of greedy, heaving men who abused her. This
article was authored by Michael Hamilton and Matt Wilkinson. Now
Just think about that for a minute, going through your
whole entire life, having those dreams, those nightmares about these
sick degenerates who stole your childhood, and we're still having

(04:25):
the argument about outing these dudes. Oh well, we don't
want them to be embarrassed. Bro, I don't give a
flying fuck about how embarrassed they are. I care that
they drove my friend to suicide. That's what I care about.
Virginia fled Peto Jeffrey Epstein and his lover co conspirator
you mean, claimed Maxwell in two thousand and two, but

(04:45):
reveals she was still affected years later. And I can
tell you for a fact that that was occurring. There
is no doubt that Virginia had a tough go of it.
PTSD all kinds of issues when it comes to nightmares,
and can you blame her? Imagine going through what she
went through and then having everybody tell you basically to
shut up, that you're not important enough to bring these

(05:08):
kinds of allegations to the table, that no one's going
to listen to you, no one's going to hear you,
no one's going to help you. That's a big burden
for anyone to carry. Never mind a girl who was
abused basically her whole life. She was in the hospital
with COVID in twenty twenty one when enemy trauma crept
up on her. According to excerpts from Nobody's Girl obtained

(05:29):
by the Sun, she says, all feelings of sadness and
shame overtook me. I was sick of the nightmares, greedy men,
heaving men on top of me, men whose faces I
recognized and would never forget. I felt hollowed out. Now,
for everybody who wants lists, how about we find out
who those people are we already know and go after them.
At the very least, they should be shamed, right, at

(05:52):
the very least they should be getting the Prince Andrew treatment.
And for me, of course, that's just the starting point.
Every last one of these people, if they're involved, as
far as the abuse goes, or anything else criminal, they
should be charged. And I don't care how little the
crime is, tax evasion, whatever it might be, charge them
up same way they do US American Virginia settled in

(06:13):
Australia in two thousand and two after meeting and marrying
her husband, Robert. They went on to have three children,
but in April she committed suicide with her family saying
the toll of abuse she had suffered became unbearable. And look,
over the past few years, I haven't talked of Virginia
anywhere near as much as I used to. So I'm
not going to sit here and tell you like I
knew what was going on, you know, in her personal

(06:34):
life or how she was feeling, because I have no idea.
But I will tell you this, I do know from
talking to her previously, from our very long conversations, that
Virginia was dealing with a lot of PTSD man a
whole lot of it. And can you blame her considering
what she went through, what she was going through still

(06:55):
and with all of the other outside influences tugging this way,
and that it's a whole lot. And the saddest part
is that it could have been stopped. At the very least,
somebody in power could have stepped up and said, look,
we can't change the fact that you were abused previously,
but we're going to make sure the people that did
it never do it again. But that didn't happen, did it.

(07:17):
Those same people they were still out there running their companies,
They were still out there on TV. They were still
out there working for presidents. Hell, some of them were
politicians themselves. So if people would have listened back then,
we could have stopped a whole lot of this. In
the book co written before her death with the US
author Amy Wallace, Virginia reveals she attempted suicide twice before

(07:38):
she explains, my brain said it would be better for
everyone if you weren't here. Look, trauma rewires the brain.
When you have severe trauma, things change, right, your brain
isn't working the way it used to. You're not thinking
things through clearly. And of course PTSD especially leads to
people committing acts of self harm. How many soldiers have

(08:00):
we've seen come home from war and the same shit happen.
So it's something that's very very dangerous, right PTSD And
if you don't handle it, and you don't get the
proper help, that shit will eat you up. Either you
handle your trauma or your trauma will handle you. And
that's just a fact of life. But even when you
do get help, even when you're trying to, you know,

(08:22):
battle those demons, sometimes they're too much to overcome. And
it's easy for us to say, you know, hey, why
would somebody do that, Why would somebody take the step of,
you know, hurting themselves. But you don't know until you're
living in their shoes, right till you're walking that path,
till you're dealing with the anxiety, the stress, all of it.
It has to be a very very very hard road

(08:44):
to walk. And I won't even begin to act like
I understand because I have no idea. I have no
idea what these poor girls have went through. But what
I do know is the people that did it, every
last one of them, needs to be put under a prison.
And if people would have taken Virginia seriously previously, that
might have happened. Virginia adds, I believe my brain was

(09:06):
so wrecked from the painkillers. She says she took an
overdose but was saved by medics, only to attempt suicide
again days after being discharged. Virginia claims Epstein made threats
against her family and that she lost a baby after
becoming pregnant by one abuser. She had been approached by
Maxwell and Florida in two thousand when she was sixteen,

(09:27):
before being abused by the financier and his rich pals.
She says Epstein once showed her a picture of her
younger sibling and said, we know where your brother goes
to school, and we know that they'd love to do that.
They did the same shit to Maria Farmer, with any Farmer.
These people were not above making threats. I mean, they

(09:47):
had all kinds of private investigators following people around, digging
through the trash at police officers' houses, all kinds of shit.
And never mind the contacts they had when it comes
to intelligence. So yeah, if they're making those kinds of threats,
they're the kind of people that could see them through.
And when you walk into the house and you see
a picture of Bill Clinton in a goddamn dress wearing

(10:09):
some pumps on the wall, you know that you're dealing
with somebody that has a lot of political power. And
she claims that he added, you must never tell a
soul what goes on in this house. Virginia alleges she
first had sex with Andrew in March of two thousand
and one, and twice soon afterwards, claims he has denied.
Virginia says she suffered irregular bleeding after returning to New

(10:32):
York from a trip in July of two thousand and one,
She says she was not in great shape and later
woke up in a pool of blood. Virginia writes that
Epstein taking her to a hospital where he lied to
make her appear older, and recalls his whispering to a
medic about her care. She says, I had a tiny
incursion near my belly button, consistent with a keyhole surgery

(10:53):
for an ectopic pregnancy. But Epstein told me that I
had a miscarriage, which is something altogether different. The one
thing I remember clearly is that at one point the
doctor told me I might never be able to have children.
In the book, to be published by NOF on Tuesday,
she is set to add Epstein never wore a condom,
neither did the men he and Maxwell trafficked me too.

(11:15):
I need to like douse myself in bleach after reading
this shit. It's just so disgusting. And all these so
called men, they all have kids of their own, daughters
and whatnot, and they're out here running around acting like
this like this is okay. Fuck each and every last
one of these people and anyone who looks like them. Andrew,

(11:37):
who has said he does not recall a meeting Virginia
Payer millions in an out of court settlement in February
of twenty twenty two. In the book, she claims the
cash was earmarked for her abuse charity Speak Out Act Reclaim.
A spokesperson for Andrew declined to comment. Epstein died in
a prison in twenty nineteen. Maxwell is serving twenty years
in US jail for sex trafficking. Well, if you want

(12:00):
to call it, Jel doing yoga, eating Chick fil A,
having the time of her life. Meanwhile, the PTSD and
things are so bad for Virginia, she took hers, so
you can miss me with the whole entire Glenn Maxwell's
being treated unfairly, and Glenn Maxwell deserves to be pardoned
because there's no scenario under the sun where that should

(12:20):
be something that's even thought about, never mind something that's done.
And you know, it sticks with me the most about
all of it. It's how normal people like Virginia Roberts
had to bleed, scream and fight just to get a
fraction of the attention these monsters gave each other over
a glass of champagne. She was a kid in pain
and they were out there clinking glasses. Calling Epstein a

(12:41):
genius investor, a philanthropist, A visionary, yeah, visionary of evil maybe,
And now all these years later, every one of those
cowards pretends they had no idea. They act like they
didn't see the girls, didn't hear the whispers, didn't notice
the private jets full of teenagers. But we did. We
see it now for what it is, rod at the

(13:01):
top that spread through every system that was supposed to
protect the innocent. And the worst part, the apologies don't
mean a damn thing. You can't unlive what Virginia went through.
You can't scrub away the trauma she carried, or the
year she spent screaming into silence while the rest of
the world was too busy counting donations from the same
man who heard her. All those politicians, professors, princes. They

(13:24):
didn't just fail her, they failed us. Because if the
system can't protect a kid like Virginia, what chance does
any regular person have none. That's the cold truth. So no,
I don't care how many documentaries they make or how
many awareness campaigns they launch. Now that Epstein's gone and
can't name names, the only awareness we need is this.

(13:44):
The people in charge knew, They always knew, They just
didn't care. They were too busy protecting their own to
stop a predator hiding in plain sight. And that's why
this story will never sit right, because Virginia Roberts wasn't
just betrayed by a monster. She was betrayed by a
whole damn world that decided her suffering wasn't convenient enough

(14:04):
to care about. The least we can do now is
remember her name, not as some headline or Epstein victim number, whatever,
but as the girl who stood up when nobody else would,
the one who kept speaking when everyone else told her
to shut up. Because in the end, Virginia's voice broke
through all their lives. And if there is any justice

(14:25):
left in this world, it's that people who ignored her
will have to live every day knowing she exposed them all.
