Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre's memoir to be published posthumously

Giuffre was working on a book, "Nobody's Girl," before her death earlier this year. The 400-page book will be released on Oct. 21, the Associated Press reports. Giuffre, who claimed she was sold for comfort to Prince Andrew, completed the manuscript before she died in April, publisher Alfred Knopf said. Prince Andrew has denied Giuffre's allegations. Giuffre and the prince reached an out-of-court settlement in 2022 after she sued him for sexual assault. Knopf's statement includes an email Giuffre wrote to Wallace 25 days before her death, saying her "heartfelt wish" was to release the memoir "regardless" of her circumstances.

Giuffre was hospitalized after a serious accident on March 24, Knopf said, and emailed her on April 1. She died on April 25 at her farm in Western Australia, where she had lived for several years. The publisher said in a statement that the book contains "intimate, disturbing and heartbreaking new details about her time with Epstein, Maxwell and their many high-profile friends, including Prince Andrew, whom she speaks about publicly for the first time since their out-of-court settlement in 2022." In 2023, the New York Post reported that Giuffre had struck a deal "believed to be worth millions" with an unnamed publisher.
