In a world where billionaires fly private jets to nowhere and royals pretend not to sweat (literally), Virginia Giuffre stood out—not for the scandals around her, but for the courage she had to drag the skeletons right out of the golden walk-in closet.
Sadly, Virginia passed away earlier this month at just 41, leaving behind a legacy of bravery, truth-telling, and zero tolerance for nonsense from creepy men with castles or private islands.
Now, in a move that would make even the writers of “Succession” pause for a tearful slow clap, her family has released one final mic drop from Virginia herself—a note she wrote before her passing. Her brother shared it via the Daily Mail (yes, that Daily Mail, the tabloid equivalent of a nosy aunt with a Twitter account).
Her final words? A rallying cry for the rest of us:
“We are not going to go away. Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers need to show the battlelines are drawn and we stand together to fight for the future of victims. Is protesting the answer – I don’t know, but we’ve got to start somewhere.”
In other words: Y’all better wake up and raise some hell.
Virginia spent much of her life standing up to some of the most powerful and well-connected men on Earth—who, let’s be honest, are usually the kind of dudes who think “accountability” is a brand of cologne. She wasn’t just brave—she was the human version of sending a flaming truth bomb into the VIP lounge of the ultra-rich.
Her family says the fight isn’t over, and judging by her words, she meant it. If justice was a buffet, Virginia just started a food fight.
Our thoughts are with her loved ones, and anyone out there trying to make the world slightly less gross. Long live the whistleblowers, the truth-tellers, and the people who remind us that courage sometimes looks like calling out a duke in court… while the whole royal family clutches their pearls.
