Virginia Giuffre claims she is the victim of domestic violence at hands of her husband who 'beat her' before her car accident - as family say crash 'saved her life'

After posting a social media post claiming she had 'four days to live', Virginia Giuffre has now claimed she suffered from domestic violence in her marriage.

Giuffre - an alleged victim of disgraced American financier Jeffrey Epstein who has accused Prince Andrew of abusing her as a teen, which the royal denies - shared a disturbing post of her bruised face last Sunday after a bus crash.

She had been involved in a collision with a bus travelling in rural Western Australia on March 24, but the bus driver, WA Police and multiple other witnesses said the crash was not as serious as she had made out online. 

Now, the 41-year-old has said she can 'no longer stay silent' about alleged domestic violence in her marriage - as she is due in court accused of breaching a restraining order.

Giuffre and her husband Robert share three children and currently live in Perth, Australia, but have recently split up after 22 years of marriage.

In a statement to People, she said: 'I was able to fight back against Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein who abused and trafficked me. But I was unable to escape the domestic violence in my marriage until recently. After my husband's latest physical assault, I can no longer stay silent.' 

'Again, I thank everyone for their support. I have faith that justice will prevail.'

Her husband has not responded to the allegations. It comes as Giuffre is due to appear at Joondalup Magistrates Court on April 9 to address an alleged restraining order violation by texting Robert on February 2 in Perth.

Giuffre was reportedly assaulted on January 9, 2025, in Dunsborough, Western Australia.

During a trip to celebrate one of the children's birthdays, Robert allegedly assaulted his wife.

Her spokeswoman said she was transported to the hospital for her injuries.

They claimed Robert filed a family violence restraining order against her soon after, alleging that she had become violent with him.

Such orders, according to Australian law, are made to protect family members, including children, at risk of physical, financial, emotional, psychological and sex abuse.

But they are also regarded as highly controversial because of the way in which they can be used by warring spouses who wish to weaponise the court system in their favour. 

Last week, Giuffre wrote on Instagram: 'I've gone into kidney renal failure, they've given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.'

Giuffre's father, Sky Roberts, clarified her 'four days to live' claim, saying she was told by doctors she would have died in that time frame if she did not receive treatment - and said the crash may have been a 'blessing in disguise'.
