Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s memoir, Nobody’s Girl — in which she details a lifetime of horrific sexual abuse culminating in her being trafficked by late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his friend, Ghislaine Maxwell — was released posthumously on Tuesday, October 21. The National Enquirer has obtained a copy and can reveal some of the book’s biggest revelations.

ABC Killed Her Interview with Amy Robach

The memoir isn’t the first time Giuffre told all about being at the center of Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring.

In 2016, she sat down with former ABC news anchor Amy Robach, 52, and told her “everything I knew,” Giuffre wrote. “I told her the names of several men I’d been trafficked to. I wept a few times when she asked me to go into detail about particular incidents of abuse.”

Giuffre was “relieved and proud” to learn the interview would air on Good Morning America and other ABC news programs. “But then the waiting began. We were strung along for weeks with no explanation for the delay,” Giuffre added, revealing that she was eventually told that ABC had reached out to Epstein and Buckingham Palace for comment.

“Robach and her producer were outraged. But for whatever reason, ABC never aired the interview.”

“And I couldn’t help but wonder, if a media giant like ABC could be shut down in its attempts to reveal the truth, was there any hope for survivors like me?” Giuffre questioned.

The book later references a 2019 recording in which Robach was caught on a hot mic complaining about the story being killed. “First of all I was told, ‘Who’s Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story,’” Robach said at the time. “Then the Palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways. We were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to interview [Princess] Kate and [Prince William], that also quashed the story.”

Robach later clarified in a statement to People: “As a journalist, as the Epstein story continued to unfold last summer, I was caught in a private moment of frustration. I was upset that an important interview I had conducted with Virginia Roberts [Giuffre] didn’t air because we could not obtain sufficient corroborating evidence to meet ABC’s editorial standards about her allegations.”

ABC responded to People, noting, “At the time, not all of our reporting met our standards to air.”

Her First Meeting with President Donald Trump 

Giuffre — who got a job working as a locker room attendant at Mar-a-Lago in West Palm Beach, Florida in 2000 — wrote of being introduced to the club’s owner by her father, Sky Roberts, who was also employed there. “They weren’t friends, exactly. But Dad worked hard, and [Donald] Trump liked that—I’d seen photos of them posing together, shaking hands,” she wrote, adding that the future president “couldn’t have been friendlier” when they met, and even asked her if she babysat on behalf of friends.

Epstein Allegedly Paid Off Her Father

In the book, Giuffre claimed a source who she “knew and trusted” told her that her father — who she also accused of sexual abuse, which he’s denied — had taken a “sum of money” from the billionaire financier in 2000, not long after she began “training” to be a sex slave with Epstein and Maxwell. “Had Dad profited from my pain?” she wrote. “I did not want to believe this.” When she confronted her father, he “started yelling at me about being an ungrateful daughter.”

After a brief silence, Giuffre recalled telling her father, “If one of my kids, God forbid, ever accused me of something as disgusting as this, I would tell them the truth. If I hadn’t done it, I’d say I hadn’t done it. But I’m not hearing you say that. You’re not saying a thing.”

She Believed Epstein’s Body is Cryogenically Preserved

There has been much speculation about the manner of Epstein’s death after he died while in jail awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges in 2019 — though the medical examiner ruled his death as suicide by hanging.

“I can make a case for either suicide or murder,” Giuffre wrote. But what made her most skeptical: That the billionaire is buried in an unmarked grave in Palm Beach, Florida. “Epstein had repeatedly told me exactly what would happen when he died: his body would be placed in some sort of cryogenic chamber to be preserved until technology advanced far enough to bring him back to life,” she wrote.

Previous Suicide Attempts

Not only did she turn to Xanax, oxycodone and other painkillers to numb the pain of her abuse and various injuries, but Giuffre writes of trying to take her own life twice, despite tweeting in 2019 that she was not suicidal and “evil people” wanted to see her “quieted.”

While hospitalized with COVID in 2021, “all my feelings of sadness and shame overtook me,” she recalled, adding that she “was weary of defending myself against vicious, hurtful words” and “sick” of reliving her abuse in nightmares. “It would be better for everyone if you weren’t here,” she told herself, adding that she then downed about 240 painkillers. Giuffre eventually died by suicide in April at age 41.

Naming Names

While Giuffre details her alleged sex with Prince Andrew (which he’s repeatedly denied) and encounters with a few other famous men, there are many names she only hints at, including: a “well-known prime minister” who “brutally raped” her, “a gubernatorial candidate who was soon to win election in a Western state” and a former US senator.

“I have not named all the men I was trafficked to. Partly that is because I still don’t know some of their names. Partly, too, that is because there are certain men who I fear naming,” she wrote, adding that she was also worried about facing “expensive, life-ruining litigation” from her alleged abusers.
