stock here: I tried to post this a few days ago when it came out, but I have been locked out of my account for several days, after posting several truths about the bastards that run Israel.
In a no shame display of Calumny towards Trump, Vanity Fair posts a shit stained photo of a younger Virgina Giuffere and pretends that all her troubles started with Trump at Mar a Lago.

- It may influence public, legal, and cultural conversations around sex-trafficking, power abuse, institutional complicity, and how survivors are treated and heard.
- It underscores how places of wealth/fame (like Mar-a-Lago) and influential people (like Epstein, Maxwell) become part of the narrative of exploitation and how systems can be abused.
⚠️ Important Context & Caveats
- Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41. Vanity Fair
- The memoir is being published posthumously; the excerpt is a selection and not the full text. So what we’re reading is edited and curated.
- The article references allegations (against Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and others) that are either settled in civil suits or in some cases contested/criminally untried in full. For example: claims involving Prince Andrew, Duke of York. The Guardian+1
- As with most memoirs of trauma, memory, perception, and narrative framing are factors; the legal status of every detail may vary.
- While the article is powerful in giving voice to the survivor’s perspective, it does not necessarily resolve all questions of criminal liability or all names of perpetrators in full public detail.
