Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre has said she mistakenly posted the claim that she had just four days left to live to her public Instagram.
Ms Giuffre, 41, sparked concerns across the globe when she shared a photo of her ‘battered and bruised’ claiming she was dying after being hit by a school bus.
The snap seemed to have been taken from a hospital bed, and Ms Giuffre said a speeding vehicle had ploughed into her car and that doctors had told her she has four days to live.
Today she issued a statement after her post triggered an outpouring of concern for her welfare, as well as questions about the circumstances of a ‘car crash’ that caused her injuries and ‘kidney failure’.
The statement said: ‘Virginia thanks everyone for the outpouring of love and support. She is overwhelmed with gratitude.
‘Today she remains in serious condition while receiving medical care. On March 24, in rural Western Australia, a school bus hit the car in which she was riding.
‘The police were called but said that there was no one available to come to the scene.
‘They asked if anyone was injured and suggested that if they were, they should make their way to the hospital.
‘The school bus driver had a bus full of distraught children and left the scene to get them back, saying he would file a police report, which he did later.
‘Virginia was banged up and bruised and returned home. Virginia’s condition worsened and she was admitted to the hospital.
‘Concerning her Instagram post, Virginia thought that she had posted on her private Facebook page.
‘Virginia and her family thank everyone for their concern.’
She is currently being treated at Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital in Perth, Australia.
On Sunday, Ms Giuffre, née Roberts, shared a concerning selfie from a hospital bed to her Instagram which showed her severely bruised face and upper body.
The mother – who was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and alleged she was sexually assaulted as a teenager by Prince Andrew – said she was suffering from kidney failure after the crash.
She also begged to see her children ‘one last time’ before she dies after claiming doctors said she had just four days to live.
