"The BBC also makes a point of saying, "It remains unclear where and when the crash occurred."
It's very, very careful reporting."

Just when you need BBC Verify!

If this happened in Australia, isn't it already April 1st there?

Flytrap01 · 31/03/2025 21:57

there would be far better methods to discredit her than an accident like this something fishy overall

I’m not sure-I don’t know about Australian news specifically but people seem to say this working on the basis that a school bus crashing would be newsworthy because it’s full of children. But empty school buses are driving around all the time, and I can’t think why anyone would think an empty school bus crashing into a car would make national or even local news?!

I think it would make local news. The one above was empty with no casualties in either the bus or the car but was reported in several places.

People get twitchy about school buses crashing, even when they're empty because there's the concern that the driver might have done something wrong and in a parallel universe, that could have put scores of kids in danger.

Is this real or a hoax? - it's already April Fool's Day in Australia

If it's an April Fool's joke, then it's not remotely funny....though possibly the most plausible explanation so far!

Waterweight · 31/03/2025 22:09

I think this whole 4 day thing is throwing everybody off. I imagine the doctor said "1 week/1 month/1 year if you don't have or get so & so" & she's just posted this with "4 days" to go sort of thing having either not got something or not able to access something

It doesn't sound like the accident happened in Australia by the speed of a school bus & lack of media coverage so it's possible she was given a time frame most western style doctors wouldnt give.

Would be interesting if she lives longer as I think it will dredge up her whole persona around being honest/having critics but I wish her well

ByQuaintAzureWasp · 31/03/2025 22:15

She's dying but finds time to have a photo shoot abd post on social media? Really?

You'd think it would make the news if the car involved happened to contain someone well-known to the public though.

It’s the boob shot that has got me. Looks extremely staged

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 31/03/2025 22:23

AlteredStater · 31/03/2025 15:26

She has kidney failure apparently so maybe doctors can give a timeline.

No doctor can give a timeline as precise as four days. They may say ‘we’re looking at days’ but to say they can predict an accurate number of days is nonsense.

BatchCookBabe · 31/03/2025 22:25

I am struggling to believe it's true.

TheWickerHare · 31/03/2025 22:26

I think (hope) it's an April Fools joke and if so, 'Lady' Vic has made more of an embarrassment of herself than Virginia.

Lougc · 31/03/2025 22:27

I think rather than a hoax, this is likely to be a case of her mental health suffering from her past and what seems to be a current issue with her not being able to see her children. She may have been in a car crash but the severity being described the postings and the timeline for dying are likely to be not quite how others would describe the situation.

40andlovelife · 31/03/2025 22:29

Oh dear if it is an April fools joke then she really is mentally ill and horribly cruel

Maximusdecimus · 31/03/2025 15:03

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

No-one knows how much Guiffre squeezed Prince Andrew for - and he had done nothing illegal. Sleazy yes, illegal, no.

Surely not?! Shock As has been said, it has been 1st April in Australia where she lives for about 6-7 hours now I think... Perth Australis time right now is almost 6am (tomorrow.)

On every different news site? 🤷‍♀️

They are reporting what she has posted, not that she's telling the truth

How is it not illegal to have sexual contact with a victim of sex trafficking?

It would be “only” sleazy if she was a local
minor above the age of consent, but one of the issues here is that she was transported for sex, which then makes it trafficking.

He had no way of knowing that Guiffre was trafficked. He was in a group of men who were introduced to young women who appeared perfectly willing to indulge in sexual intercourse. It would, of course, be difficult for a young woman to say she had been trafficked - the man she confided in could have outed her and caused trouble, but Guiffre's first claim against Andrew was that she was underage. Not until she realised that the age of consent in the UK, where she testified the sex had taken place, was 16 and not 17 did she change her accusation to that of being trafficked.
I am very much in favour of women being believed and in men getting their come uppance for using prostituted women, but Guiffre made such a mess of this lot that only an entity such as the RF would have paid up. She did not care to accuse Clinton or Trump for some reason, though they were both part of the same 'friendship' group round Epstein.

uncomfortablydumb60 · 31/03/2025 23:11

My guess is she’s high on painkillers/ substance of some sort or is Psychotic.
perhaps her Dad posted on there because she is not taking his calls/ blocked him.

Bingbopboomboomboombopbam · 31/03/2025 23:27

@Grammarnut I would assume she accused Andrew because she had a photo to back up her presence, otherwise all he had to do was say he never heard of her.

It’s understandable she changed her accusation, it was probably due to legal advice. I would guess initially she assumed the age of consent was similar to the US.

Andrew should know better than to repeatedly hang out with someone like Epstein. He deserved the dragging and if anything, got away with it. Absolute scum.

LSTMS30555 · 31/03/2025 23:50

I think she should be took back to the USA and put on trial because there's plenty of girls who said they were recruited by Virginia how come she's never had to face the consequences of her actions for recruiting & trafficking young girls?

You'd think it would make the news if the car involved happened to contain someone well-known to the public though.

Even if it didn’t, you would think there would be at least some local news coverage somewhere of a crash severe enough for someone involved to go into renal failure with a fatal prognosis. Granted, it isn’t going to make the nationals, but “Schoolbus crash leaves woman in critical condition” would definitely make headlines locally where I live.

alexdgr8 · 01/04/2025 00:16

Wouldn't such bruises be different shades of purple red yellow black?
Rather than a kind of even smear of mud colour?
And no sign of broken skin or scratches or redness ? Abrasions?
Maybe she is not well.
how or why we don't know.
Hope she gets better.

Amberlynnswashcloth · 01/04/2025 00:21

Such an odd post from her. Who says "kidney renal" and why the need for emotional manipulation and swear words on her death bed?

“I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology,” she continued.
“I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. S in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be s at the end of the day, “ she wrote.
