Other Epstein victims credited Giuffre with giving them the courage to speak out.

    May she rest peacefully. Damn tragedy.

    Still, this gives me pause.

      To be fair, that was also 6 years ago. A lot can happen in 6 years. That was pre-COVID for instance. I think just about everyone can say we’re in a totally different place now than we were then, even without the Epstein aspect.

      That being said, I always have pause when there’s any sort of whistleblower or accuser of a powerful individual that commits suicide. Even if the suicide itself is accurate and clearly intentional, the circumstances surrounding it are always murky and questionable. Especially questions of threats and coercion leading up to it.

    With out reading any details the words Epstein and suicide in the same sentence make me believe this is a lie.

      She was recently beaten so badly by her husband that her life was in danger, and then she was hit by a schoolbus. Things can’t have been going well for her.

        Didn’t she publication state recently that she was terminally ill as well? Something like liver failure. Maybe she chose to go on her terms in the end.
