Virginia Giuffre’s father insists she didn’t die by suicide: ‘Somebody got to her’
The father of Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre does not believe his daughter died by suicide, insisting instead that “somebody got to her.”
Grieving his daughter’s death on Thursday, Sky Roberts refuted his family’s claim that Giuffre — the most prominent victim of the disgraced financier — could have taken her own life.
“No way,” Roberts said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” “I can’t believe that this is happening. It’s just, it’s impossible.”
“And then for them to say that she committed suicide, there’s no way that she did. Somebody got to her.”
Giuffre, 41, was found dead in her home in Neergabby, Australia, last week, with her family confirming that she had committed suicide and left a note behind with a final message for sexual abuse survivors.
Roberts said he continues to sob over his daughter’s death, describing Giuffre as a survivor who stood strong for others despite the horrors she experienced when she was a teenager taken by Epstein.
“As someone who actually got out of a bad situation and made a good situation out of it, that she was helping a lot of other young girls that were feeling the pain of what goes on with people like that… I think she’s strong, very strong, and that’s why I don’t think she committed suicide,” Roberts said.
“She had too much to live for. She had her foundation,” he added, referencing Giuffre’s advocacy work.
In a 2019 tweet, Giuffre said resolutely that she was not suicidal.
“I am making it publicly known that in no way, shape or form am I suicidal,” she wrote. “I have made this known to my therapist and GP – If something happens to me – in the sake of my family do not let this go away and help me to protect them,” she wrote “Too many evil people want to see me [quieted].”
An infamous 2001 photo shows a 17-year-old Giuffre posing for a photo with Prince Andrew and the now-convicted madam Ghislaine Maxwell, who was found guilty in 2021 of aiding Epstein’s sex trafficking.
Giuffre had long-claimed that Andrew repeatedly had sex with her when she was a teen and trafficked by Epstein. The British royal settled the case in 2022 for an undisclosed amount of money.
Roberts said he had seen the photograph years before his daughter first went public with it, vouching for its authenticity.

“Virginia sent the original picture, so I know it wasn’t faked, but the original picture of Prince Andrew and her with Ghislaine Maxwell in the background, so I know that’s true that she did. She was there with him,” Roberts said.
The frustrated father slammed the late Epstein and Andrew as men who abused their wealth and power to hurt his daughter and threaten her to keep silent.
The rest of Giuffre’s family maintains that her death was a suicide, noting that her life began to unravel in recent months following the end of her 22-year marriage to Robert Giuffre.
The divorce led to a bitter custody battle over the couple’s three children, with Giuffre unable to gain access to her kids in months due to her estranged husband’s restraining order filing, her family said.
Giuffre’s final note was shared on social media by her sister-in-law, Amanda Roberts, where she said the fight for victims will carry on even without her.
“We are not going to go away,” Giuffre wrote in the letter. “Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers need to show the battlelines are drawn and we stand together to fight for the future of victims.
“Is protesting the answer? I don’t know, but we’ve got to start somewhere,” she added.
