Virginia Giuffre always said Epstein and Maxwell worked to smear her. Bloomberg’s release of 18,000 emails confirms it.

In 2015 Maxwell told Epstein she planned to circulate a dossier on Virginia. Weeks later the New York Daily News ran a hit piece citing sealed juvenile records.

Survivors weren’t just abused. They were discredited and attacked for telling the truth.

Virginia deserved to be believed.Image
The email shows Maxwell asking Epstein for “the file on Virginia” and saying she would distribute it. That’s exactly what Giuffre said was happening.
Weeks later the New York Daily News published a story citing sealed juvenile records.
Giuffre’s attorney at the time @BradEdwards_Esq said those records had been weaponized to smear her. He was right.
@BradEdwards_Esq @BradEdwards_Esq continues to speak out, and was at the press conference last week.

“When you see the documents, you’re going to be appalled, and the American people deserve to see everything.”

Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime butler, Juan Patricio Alessi, once testified he ferried underage girls to Palm Beach, stocked massage tables, and lived by convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s “rule book.”

Yet the sweeping immunity in Acosta’s “sweetheart deal” with Epstein extended protection to Epstein’s staff, such as Alessi.Image
Alessi worked for Epstein from 1991 to 2006. He was first a maintenance worker at his homes, and then as a driver and housekeeper in Palm Beach, Florida.
Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Maxwell and Epstein once said she was forced to have sex with Prince Andrew. A claim which he has denied.

Alessi said that Andrew visited Epstein’s home in Palm Beach, two or three times while he was working there.

Andrew (reportedly with the financial assistance of his mother, The Queen) paid Giuffre a large settlement, without ever admitting guilt or taking accountability.

Giuffre, a vocal advocate who fought for the full release of the Epstein Files and accountability for Epstein’s network, reportedly died by suicide this year.Image

The 2008 sweetheart deal between Alex Acosta and Jeffrey Epstein only named four women as Epstein’s co-conspirators:

The four women, identified as “assistants” to Epstein and Maxwell, were Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, Adriana Ross, and Nadia Marcinkova.

But prosecutors didn’t limit the immunity to them. A point that has drawn scrutiny by legal experts and the public alike.

Epstein’s “sweetheart deal” extended to “any potential co-conspirators.”

This was a clause so broad it effectively protected pilots, drivers, and all of Epstein’s staff too.

Naming only the women contained the story and made it look narrower than it was — critics argue Acosta and the gov were shielding Epstein’s wider network in plain sight.
Sarah Kellen wasn’t just an “assistant.”

Survivors testified she scheduled the sexual “massages,” walked girls upstairs, and even participated in abuse.

Yet she was one of the four given immunity in Epstein’s 2008 deal. Instead of facing accountability, she was shielded.

Kellen changed her name multiple times and married former NASCAR driver Kevin Vickers, though they recently filed for divorce.Image

🚨 NEW

Nadia Marcinkova was the 15 year old girl Epstein bragged he had “bought” from her family in Yugoslavia. She later became his pilot, lived with him, and even visited him in jail. She was named as a co-conspirator, but given immunity in Epstein’s sweetheart deal.

Newly released by Bloomberg emails show the way he controlled her. In one message, Epstein called her “the most important person to me.”

In another he sent a 425 word tirade demanding she dance, work out, do “fun sex things,” and manage his stress, telling her she “should be ashamed.”

The emails reveal the coercion and degradation survivors were forced to endure inside Epstein’s network.Image
Image
The emails were verified by Bloomberg, and show the coercion and provide a small glimpse into how Epstein communicated with his network.
Though Epstein bragged her bought her from her family in Yugoslavia, she is actually Slovakian, born in what was then Czechoslovakia.

Her father has publicly said she was not “bought” by Epstein from her parents.

Epstein sponsored a modeling VISA for her and paid to send her to piloting school.

🚨NEW:
Newly released emails show Ghislaine Maxwell’s attempts to intimidate and smear the late Virginia Giuffre, who was the most vocal of their survivors until her death this year by suicide.

Photo of the late Virginia Giuffre 🖤✊🏼 with Prince Andrew and her convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

🧵👇Image
Convicted trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell emailed Epstein in January 2015, asking: “Can you send me the file on Virginia that your lawyers have or whatever info you have on her.”

This was just days after Giuffre’s name became prominent in reporting. She was seeking documents that could undermine Giuffre’s credibility.

Giuffre reportedly died by suicide this year.

Her family has continued to call for the full release of the Epstein Files and accountability for survivors.

I’ve been covering this closely follow for all they want to bury.Image
It gets more heartbreaking 💔

After that, Maxwell forwarded a confidential Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office report to Epstein dated from the mid-1990s, stamped “confidential.”

It included allegations Giuffre made at age 15, including claims of drug use and “possible involvement in witchcraft,” and language questioning the credibility of her complaint.

Maxwell wrote about it to Epstein in a way that suggests she intended to use it against Giuffre, who had come from an unstable family life.Image

Epstein survivor Jess Michaels told Katie Couric that PTSD from his abuse means “constant anxiety, insomnia, inability to eat, brain fog, limited mental and physical capacity.”

After years of healing, seeing the disturbing “massage cartoon” in Epstein’s birthday book was triggering.

She said it mirrored a sexual joke he used on her in 1991, and it pulled her right back to the abuse. This is what living with trauma can look like.

Survivors deserve better.Image

The “cartoon” drawing from Epstein’s birthday book that survivor Michaels found triggering Image
When Jess Michaels first arrived at Epstein’s penthouse, he greeted her in only a robe and quickly removed it.

As she began the massage, he told her to take off her clothes.

She said she felt she had no choice and described her body going numb.

🚨🚨NEW:
Lord Peter Mandelson has just been sacked & recalled after newly-surfaced emails revealed his deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Mandelson was UK Ambassador to the US.

In the emails that surfaced, Mandelson suggested Epstein’s first conviction was wrongful.

I highlighted Mandelson’s Epstein connection days ago when the birthday book dropped. Now it’s ended his diplomatic career.

As I posted days ago, UK Ambassador to the US Mandelson’s entry in Epstein’s birthday book was addressed to “my best pal” Image
Mandelson was removed after emails surfaced showing he reassured Epstein during his first conviction. He even suggested it was wrongful his conviction should be challenged.
The UK govt said his “depth of
association” was far greater than they’d known.
