Virginia Roberts Giuffre Is "Calling BS" on Criticism from Prince Andrew's Supporters
Virginia Roberts Giuffre, alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, is speaking out to BBC about her purported encounter with Prince Andrew.
Giuffre maintains that Andrew participated as one of Epstein’s clients, as she’s previously detailed in court filings.
Buckingham Palace has continuously denied any involvement between Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of the alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s high-profile sex trafficking ring, continues to speak out about her alleged encounter with Prince Andrew—this time she’s doing so in a BBC interview that premieres tonight in the U.K.
Giuffre has previously said that she was recruited into Epstein’s operation when she was a 17-year-old locker room attendant at Mar-a-Lago Club. She has also said that she first met the Duke of York at Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s home in London, where he subsequently took her out to dance and drink at Club Tramp.
“He asked me to dance. He is the most hideous dancer I’ve ever seen in my life,” Giuffre says during the interview. “I mean, it was horrible and this guy was sweating all over me. His sweat was raining basically everywhere. I was grossed out from it, but I knew I had to keep him happy because that’s what Jeffrey and Ghislaine would have expected from me.”
Buckingham Palace has repeatedly denied any involvement between Andrew and the operation of the defamed Epstein. Still, Giuffre maintains otherwise.
“The people on the inside are going to keep coming up with these ridiculous excuses,” she says. “Like his arm was elongated, or the photo was doctored, or he came to New York to break up with Jeffrey Epstein. I mean, come on. I’m calling BS on this, because that’s what it is. He knows what happened. I know what happened. And there’s only one of us telling the truth, and I know that’s me.”
She’s also asking for support from U.K. residents, saying, “I implore the people in the U.K. to stand up beside me, to help me fight this fight, to not accept this as being okay. This is not some sordid sex story. This is a story of being trafficked.”
Buckingham Palace previously responded to Giuffre’s account, telling NBC in a statement, “It is emphatically denied that the Duke of York had any form of sexual contact or relationship with Virginia Roberts. Any claim to the contrary is false and without foundation.”
This past summer, Andrew also put out a statement in which he said his friendship with Epstein was “a mistake and an error.”
