Virginia Giuffre says she mistakenly posted claim that she has four days left to live to Instagram

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre has said she mistakenly posted the claim that she had just four days left to live to her public Instagram.

Ms Giuffre, 41, issued a statement after her Instagram post triggered an outpouring of concern for her welfare as well as questions about the circumstances of a ‘car crash’ that caused her injuries and ‘kidney failure’.

The statement said: ‘Virginia thanks everyone for the outpouring of love and support. She is overwhelmed with gratitude. 

‘Today she remains in serious condition while receiving medical care. On March 24, in rural Western Australia, a school bus hit the car in which she was riding. 

‘The police were called but said that there was no one available to come to the scene. 

‘They asked if anyone was injured and suggested that if they were, they should make their way to the hospital. 

‘The school bus driver had a bus full of distraught children and left the scene to get them back, saying he would file a police report, which he did later. 

‘Virginia was banged up and bruised and returned home. Virginia’s condition worsened and she was admitted to the hospital. 

‘Concerning her Instagram post, Virginia thought that she had posted on her private Facebook page. 

‘Virginia and her family thank everyone for their concern.’

On Sunday, Ms Giuffre, née Roberts, shared a photograph to Instagram of herself from a hospital bed, covered in bruises she claimed were caused by a school bus ploughing into her vehicle.

The mother – who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and claims she was sexually assaulted as a teenager by Prince Andrew – said she is now suffering from kidney failure.
