VIRGINIA Giuffre left her three children a heartbreaking final letter before her tragic suicide.
The mum-of-three had spent the weeks leading up to her death pleading to see her kids one last time amid a bitter separation from her husband.
Robert Giuffre sought temporary custody of two of their three children shortly after both parties filed official police reports accusing each other of abuse.
Virginia, who helped incarcerate the pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and accused Prince Andrew of having intimate relations with her twice when she was 17, claimed that Robert sent her to the hospital following a night of abuse.
On January 9, Virginia told her brother Sky about an alleged incident where Robert “punched her over and over”.
Virginia claimed the alleged attack was sparked when she refused to have sex with her husband.
At this point the pair were estranged and living apart with them only meeting to spend time with the children.
Sky recalls Virginia facetiming him and saying she had suffered recurring injuries to her sternum and spine.
Robert soon hit back with accusations of his own as he claimed Virginia headbutted, spat and punched him on the same evening.
Police were informed of both accusations and investigated them but no charges were filed.
Robert then managed to take custody of their two youngest children.
Around the same time, he filed a restraining order against his former partner – leaving Virginia on her own and unable to see her children.
She never saw her children again as cops found Virginia, 41, unresponsive at her remote farmhouse in April.
Following her suicide, Virginia’s family and friends discovered a notebook she left behind, shedding light on the immense struggles she faced in her final days without her children.
The very last diary entry was titled: “To the kids.”
It read: “Everyday that I don’t see your faces has a little less light.
“The world is dimmer without you in it.”
The rest of the page was filled out with poignant song lyrics which said: “It’ll all be alright, you’ve always had a rainbow over your head, angels by your side and God in your heart.
“I’m here for you here and everywhere.”
The written message to her children came just weeks after another desperate plea from Virginia.
In March, she posted a photograph of herself that quickly made headlines around the world as she was covered in bruises and in a hospital bed.
Virginia claimed her car had been hit by a school bus travelling at nearly 70mph and had just four days left to live.
In a gut-wrenching statement she said: “I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.”
However, shock quickly turned to confusion after Australian police revealed the collision was logged as a minor traffic incident and that no injuries were reported.
Virginia representatives later said that the Instagram post was a mistake and had been intended for a private page.
Her family believe the post was a final attempt to reach out to her children.
A family torn apart
The final months of Virginia’s life were said to have been tougher than any legal battle or mental scars left behind by Epstein or Prince Andrew, her sister-in-law said.
Her passing followed a series of troubling events involving allegations of abuse, the mysterious bus crash riddle and her family being torn apart.
Now, Virginia’s loved ones and her heart-wrenching last few diary entries have revealed how tough her final days really were.
Amanda Roberts, the wife of Virginia’s younger brother Sky, told The Times: “[She] may have fought battles with some of the most powerful men in the world, like Epstein and Prince Andrew.
“But what people didn’t understand was that [in her final days] the hardest battle of her life was at home.
“Her death was a terrible ending to this story, but there is a big part of it she never got to tell.”
The hardship revolved around her home life and most notably her once trusted husband of 22 years Robert.
The martial arts instructor and the father to Virginia’s three children, reportedly left the brave accuser back in August 2023.
But in a tell-all interview shortly before her death, Virginia came forward for the first time with allegations that she had suffered abuse at the hands of her husband.
“I was able to fight back against Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, who abused and trafficked me,” she said in a statement to People magazine.
Who was Virginia Giuffre?
VIRGINIA Roberts – later Virginia Giuffre, 41, was an American-Australian campaigner and a prominent victim of the sex trafficking ring of Jeffrey Epstein.
She made claims against Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, as well as Brit socialite Ghislaine Maxwell – Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-lover.
Giuffre alleged in court documents that she was procured by Maxwell, 63, the daughter of disgraced tycoon Robert Maxwell, as a teenage “sex slave” for Epstein.
She released a manuscript just hours before Epstein’s death, which added to more than 2,000 documents of a lawsuit pending against the former financier and his pals.
The legal documents were released in a defamation case involving Giuffre, who has claimed in court documents that Prince Andrew slept with her three times.
In 2019, Virginia Roberts claimed that she had sex with Prince Andrew in a toilet when she was 17, after a night where he had allegedly been plying her with vodka in a posh London club.
On February 15, 2022, it was announced that Prince Andrew settled the lawsuit – sparing him a humiliating court battle.
“But I was unable to escape the domestic violence in my marriage until recently. After my husband’s latest physical assault, I can no longer stay silent.”
Virginia’s family have now shared extracts from her diary at the beginning of this year, in which she shares her memories of her marriage as it was faltering.
She alleges Robert was violent, abusive and “emotionally and physically controlling” within the texts and legal filings.
One passage detailed how Virginia believed the ramifications of her speaking out against Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and making the claims against Andrew caused her marriage to break down over time.
Virginia wrote in her diary: “The stronger I became, the scarier he became.
“Instead of praising his wife’s accomplishments he began to be jealous, trying to make me stop advocating for victims of trafficking”.
Another page detailed Virginia’s worries as she claimed there were “increased signs of possessiveness” from Robert towards her.
These allegedly included him telling Virginia his best mates were trying to sleep with her and banning her from going downstairs when any man was over at their home.
“I became a prisoner,” she wrote.
Robert’s attorney has said they cannot comment on the accusations due to legal proceedings relating to the family ongoing in Western Australia.
