Virginia Guiffre reportedly has four days to live following a serious car crash with a school bus.

On March 30, Guiffre posted a photo to Instagram, showing herself badly bruised in a hospital bed. She wrote, “This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details, but I think it’s important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.”

She continued, “They’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.”

Guiffre wrote that she is “ready to go” and hopes that she can see her children one last time. She ended the caption, “Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life.”

Guiffre became a landmark legal case in 2015 when she launched a legal action against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for trafficking her to rich men when she was 16, including Prince Andrew. Guiffre and Maxwell reached an undisclosed settlement in 2017, and Epstein took his own life in a jail cell in 2019 while attaining trial on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell was jailed for 20 years in 2022.

Guiffre sued Prince Andrew in 2021, claiming that she had been forced to have sex with Andrew three times between the years of 1999 and 2002, in London, New York and on Epstein’s private island. The two reached an out-of-court settlement in February 2022, the details of which were not disclosed.

At the time, Guiffre said in a statement, “I am holding Prince Andrew accountable for what he did to me. The powerful and rich are not exempt from being held responsible for their actions. I hope that other victims will see that it is possible not to live in silence and fear, but to reclaim one’s life by speaking out and demanding justice.”

Prince Andrew denied Guiffre’s allegations, saying, “I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever. It just never happened.”

Guiffre founded the non-profit SOAR (Speak Out, Act, Reclaim), an organization that provides support to survivors of sexual assault.
