Rosanna Arquette has sparked fresh controversy over the tragic death of Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre in an interview with U.K. newspaper The Times published on Saturday March 7.
“I knew Virginia,” Arquette, 66, said bluntly. “I don’t think she killed herself.”
Giuffre’s family announced in an April 2025 statement that the mom of three had died by suicide at age 41 “after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking,”
“Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure,” the statement concluded.
Arquette said she feels a personal connection to Giuffreand other sexual assault victims because of her own allegations against disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
The Pulp Fiction actress has previously accused Weinstein of grabbing her hand and forcing it toward his genitals during an encounter at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in the 1990s. Weinstein has denied the claim.
“I had many conversations with the Epstein women,” Arquette said of the alleged victims of the late convicted sex offender. “Those women are warriors right now, and we need to protect them.”
Questioned directly if she felt Giuffre’s death was caused by suicide, the Big Sky alum replied, “I do not.”

She isn’t alone. Giuffre’s father, Sky Roberts, publicly called for an official investigation shortly after the tragedy, pointing to earlier social media posts in which she insisted she had no suicidal thoughts.
Giuffre’s attorney, Karrie Louden, also expressed shock and disbelief about what happened.
“When I got the phone call, I was like, ‘Are you joking?’” Louden said in an interview with The Sun in April 2025. “Because there was no sign that that was something she was considering.”
As the National Enquirer has reported, Giuffe wrote of two previous suicide attempts in her posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, despite tweeting in 2019 that she was not suicidal and “evil people” wanted to see her “quieted.”
