I read about Virginia Guiffre today, as I’m sure you did.
She was the lady who was sex trafficked by Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, passed around older men for sex, including with ( allegedly ) Prince Andrew.
Andrew gave her £10 million to compensate her for something that never happened. Yeah right. You do that..
No amount of money would however have made things ok for her. She had a victory of sorts ( without admission ) but the ‘ satisfaction’ of that would have been shortlived, and indeed once her fight was over, her ‘ raison d’être’ was over.
She took her own life last night, in the end because after all she’d been through, her children had stopped speaking to her.
‘In an Instagram post dated March 22, Giuffre shared several photos of her kids, writing she was “shattered” and “miss[es] them so very much.”
“My beautiful babies have no clue how much I love them,” she wrote.
“I miss them so very much. I have been through hell & back in my 41 years but this is incredibly hurting me worse than anything else.
“My heart is shattered and every day that passes my sadness only deepens.” ‘
I can relate, Virginia. People/ your children don’t understand when they do that to a someone who has been through so much already, it hurts far more than they can possibly comprehend. To them it’s not a big deal… to you it’s cruel beyond all measure.
I was very sad to hear how ultimately she decided that she couldn’t take anymore.
The news reporting doesn’t seem to acknowledge this point, almost mentioning casually that she was ‘ estranged from her children’.
Only those that know, know.
We need to learn how to be kinder to each other again.
There’s a lot of talk about that.
But in reality people have never been less kind.
