If I was on my deathbed I’m sure I wouldn’t be posting on social media.

Not even if you thought you might have been targeted by very rich powerful people?

NewAgeNewMe · 31/03/2025 18:04

I’ve said on other threads that I’d like to know about the other men that were at Epstein’s as well. Clinton and Trump for starters. Maybe they sweat and just weren’t dumb enough to have their photo taken.

Whatever the truth of this current situation that poor woman and those poor other girls.

I don't know what the truth is in this story, but agree with PP. What we do know about VG is she came from poor, troubled background was a victim of CSE and trafficking and somehow ended up at parties with Epstein and Prince Andrew. Maybe she isn't always telling the truth (I don't know), but surely we can accept she has good reasons to have very challenging mental health, and offer some sympathy.

Exactly and abusers often target those who don’t make great witnesses because they won’t be believed. The truth of this doesn’t necessarily affect the truth of other things.

Something odd about this story. Very strange to say that she has four days to live...no-one is ever told this. I think this is either fake news or hugely exaggerated reporting. Or perhaps just a PR stunt....

That photo looks like it as a TikTok filter on it.

girls who won’t be believed are exactly who maxwell and Epstein hunted. There is no doubt at all that VG fit the profile of a victim of sexual exploitation/ modern slavery

Nobody gets to wear necklaces in hospital - it’s all bullshit guys

You think that's the yassified version?

You won't get any sense from the vipers, snakes are reptilian creatures afterall.

I read that she posted but then took it down.

TENSsion · 31/03/2025 18:31

There’s a lot going on here. So much to infer from a very carefully worded article.

She is clearly very unwell.

Whycanineverthinkofone · 31/03/2025 15:38

If only there was some sort of treatment for kidney failure, like dialysis….

oh wait..

And that’s all it is. Treatment. Not a cure. A stop gap until a donor can be found - if one can be found.

Unless she’s having surgery or scans/xrays no one is going to stop her wearing a necklace.

Since there is no indication of what the reported renal failure may be caused by, there is absolutely no way to tell what would treat it or cure it, and when. Acute renal failure is not always going to result in death or chronic renal failure, for example.

Gymnopedie · 31/03/2025 18:42

If this story is fake she's going to do herself a lot of damage when it all comes out.

People will wonder what else she faked.

Mrsbloggz · 31/03/2025 18:44

All seems a bit odd.

Sidge · 31/03/2025 18:44

That’s a very odd photo. Apparent “bruising” but no contusions, no swelling, no lacerations.

And I have never in all my years of nursing heard a doctor tell a patient oh you’ll be dead in 4 days.

This is all very strange.

Acute renal failure can have many causes and depending on what that is, the kidneys can be restored to full function in some cases. Chronic kidney failure has no cure and dialysis is palliative in the absence of a transplant.

The bruising is a very odd colour, isn't it?

I wonder how long ago this bus crash is supposed to have happened.

HeronTwist · 31/03/2025 18:47

Thus looks like a load of rubbish.

  1. She’s awake and well enough to update her social media and take photos of her face, with no oxygen on, and none of the medical paraphernalia you would expect to see on someone who had days left.

  2. its pretty rare for doctors to give someone a timeline like that until they are withdrawing treatment on someone who is literally dying (which she clearly isn’t.) even then they wouldn’t say ‘4 days’.

  3. unless she’s refusing treatment, renal failure alone won’t kill you in 4 days if you have some sort of renal replacement therapy.

Only thing I can think of is, she’s gone into acute kidney failure (not uncommon after trauma, illness or surgery), and she’s been told if she doesn’t receive treatment for it, she could be dying in 4 days. Treatment is widely available. If this post is really from her, she’s bonkers.

I should say alleged as obviously people get paid £12million for allegations.

Very good..

I do not believe a word out of her mouth

i am always supporting women, we need it but this lady is an absolute attention seeking liar.

and i hate prince andrew etc

I also unfortunately think this.

It doesn't mean that Prince Andrew is innocent, or that he's not a vile, sleazy creep with an unhealthy liking for young-looking teens. He was very firmly part of Epstein's sleazy circle, with all that entailed.

But IIRC, Virginia Guiffre was caught out lying quite a few times, and was counter-sued by another man she was accusing when new evidence was released showing that he couldn't have been the person she alleged. I also seem to recall some issues over the photo with Prince Andrew being "lost" so it couldn't be checked for doctoring.

I think she's a troubled woman who has a loose relationship with the truth. That doesn't mean she wasn't sex trafficked or abused. Both of these things can be true. I suspect that her difficulties might even be the reason why she was chosen by Epstein for him and his vile pals.

Nothing about this latest story rings true. She was hit at 68mph by her bus that's sent her into renal failure? Her face is bruised but no swelling? She's wearing a pierced earring on the side of her face which has heavy, extensive bruising? She's got make-up on the other eye - so is this supposed to have just happened? Because those injuries absolutely don't look fresh.

I'm really sorry for what Virginia has been through in her life, and for being used as a plaything by rich, sex-obsessed, exploitative men when she was just a young girl. No one deserves that.

But I also have real difficulties believing this story about her injuries, and I think it's potentially a manipulative way to get back with/at her estranged children.

I cross-posted with you - but yes, exactly this!

angsty · 31/03/2025 19:09

@Lovelysausagedogscrumpy yes that's precisely what I am saying
