Giuffre is an outspoken advocate against sex trafficking. The California native was an alleged victim in Epstein's sex trafficking ring, and has given detailed accounts of allegedly being trafficked by Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre was reportedly recruited by Maxwell when she was 15 while working at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, per an Australian news outlet.
Giuffre previously alleged that she had her first encounter with through Epstein and Maxwell when she was 17 years old in 1999, claiming she had sex with the former royal in London at Maxwell's home. She also claimed they had sex in New York City and Epstein's private Caribbean island. (Andrew has repeatedly denied the claims, including ever meeting Giuffre.)
She founded Victims Refuse Silence, a non-profit organization, in 2015. The organization was relaunched as Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR) in November 2021.
Giuffre married Australian Robert Giuffre in 2002 after the pair reportedly met in Thailand. Together, they share three children: two sons and one daughter.
"Me & my happily ever after 🌷21 years ago this amazing man rescued me from Epstein & Maxwell's clutches," she captioned a photo of the couple via Instagram in 2023. "I thank God everyday for putting this beautiful man in my life! 🦋I love you Robbie G."
Per Giuffre's Instagram account, it appears that the anniversary post was the last time she posted about her husband. According to BBC, the pair recently separated after 22 years of marriage.
In a March 30, 2025, Instagram post, Giuffre said that she only had a handful of days to live after being hit by a bus at a high speed.
"This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won't bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can," she captioned a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed with a bruised face. "I've gone into kidney renal failure, they've given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology."
She added: "I'm ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it's still going to be s**t at the end of the day. Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia."

Instagram's New Map Feature—And Privacy Concerns—Explained
Instagram rolled out a new feature this week allowing users to share their location with a select group of followers, resembling a years-old feature Snapchat pioneered, though the map is sparking a mixed response on social media and some members of Congress have already raised concerns about user safety and privacy. Instagram announced its new map feature Wednesday. (Photo by Klaudia Radecka/NurPhoto via Getty Images) NurPhoto via Getty Images Instagram began rolling out the map feature to all users Wednesday, allowing them to see select users' locations as well as posts and stories that have been tagged to certain locations. Users have to opt in to share their location, and the feature is customizable, meaning users can choose to share their location with only select followers or those on their 'close friends' list. Some users and members of Congress have expressed concern the new feature could expose young Instagram users to danger, because if they opt to share their location, the feature will pinpoint their location on a map. Instagram said in a press release it has implemented certain guardrails for privacy protection, including parental controls that notify parents when their child shares their location and who they shared it with, or allows them to block their child's ability to share location. A Meta spokesperson told Forbes in a statement: 'Instagram Map is off by default, and your live location is never shared unless you choose to turn it on. If you do, only people you follow back—or a private, custom list you select—can see your location.' Some users on X were highly critical of the new Instagram map feature, citing privacy concerns. One user garnered nearly 200,000 likes in an all-caps post urging users to turn their location off on Instagram 'right now.' Valentina Voight, founder of the lingerie brand Voight, said 'Instagram turning on our exact location to thousands of people to see is actually terrifying' in a post on X. One TikTok user garnered more than 200,000 likes on a video urging followers to turn their locations off on Instagram, calling the map feature 'dangerous.' How Is The Instagram Map Sparking Privacy Concerns? Though the feature is opt-in only and just viewable by select users, the feature has sparked concern from advocacy groups and members of Congress. After TechCrunch reported last year Instagram was developing a map-based, location-sharing feature, a pair of House representatives penned a letter to Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri urging him to abandon the plan. Rep. Lori Trahan, D-Mass., and Rep. Kathy Castor, D-Fla., wrote in May 2024 that 'geolocation surveillance of minors is an unnecessary violation of privacy' and the 'public sharing of that information puts young users at risk of further surveillance, violence and unsolicited interactions,' such as 'stalking, sextortion, and worse.' Trahan and Castor urged Mosseri to ditch the feature and asked whether the company had researched how location sharing can impact young users' mental health and safety, as well as how the company plans to protect its young users from bad actors. Also in May 2024, online safety campaign director at advocacy group Parents Together, Shelby Knox, told local Seattle outlet Kiro 7 'predators' and 'drug dealers' could use the feature to find kids who have shared their location on the map and urged Congress to pass legislation regulating online safety on social media. Last year, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., slammed the planned Instagram map in a post on X, stating social media platforms need to protect the safety of young users instead of 'exposing their real-time location to pedophiles and traffickers.' The Instagram map feature resembles the Snap Map, a feature on Snapchat that launched in 2017 and similarly allows users to share their location with their friends. Users can view their friends' locations, as well as Snapchats uploaded by users around the world, on the map. Childnet International, a U.K.-based group advocating for children's online safety, said in a blog post upon launch of the Snap Map it would 'encourage users not to share their location, especially with people they don't know in person,' expressing concern over how the feature shows a user's 'precise' location on a map. Cybersecurity consultant Charles Tendell told ABC News in 2017 it is 'very easy to accidentally share everything that you've got with more people than you need to.' Snapchat has defended the feature, telling ABC News location sharing is opt-in only and optional for all users, adding users can customize who they share location with. Members of Congress have also criticized the Snap Map. Blackburn sent a letter to Snap Inc. in 2019 calling Snapchat a 'child predator's dream' and alleging the Snap Map 'can reveal the location of gullible child users to complete strangers.' During a Senate hearing with social media executives in 2021, Blackburn alleged 'sexual predators' could use the Snap Map to target children. Jennifer Stout, vice president of global public policy for Snap Inc., responded that Snapchat makes it 'intentionally difficult for strangers to find people that they don't know' by not making profiles publicly viewable to non-friends, and said location sharing is opt-in only and available just between friends. Tangent Instagram announced the new map feature Wednesday alongside updates to Reels. The app now allows users to repost Reels, which will recommend them to their friends and appear on the user's profile, while also adding a new tab where users can find Reels their friends have interacted with.

AEW Superstar Undergoes Surgery
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. AEW star Buddy Matthews is set to be on the sidelines for the foreseeable future. The House of Black member confirmed on Thursday that he is undergoing ankle surgery. In a post on his Instagram story, Matthews shared a photo of himself at a hospital. He was alongside his real-life partner, former WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley, just before he went in for the procedure. Buddy Matthews is getting surgery to repair his ankle. Speedy recovery. — Andrew Ravens l (@Andrew_Ravens) August 7, 2025 A Sidelined House Of Black Member Matthews has been largely absent from AEW programming in recent weeks. This surgery now provides a legitimate reason for his time away from the ring as he begins his recovery. The specific nature of the ankle injury and a potential timetable for his return have not yet been disclosed. His absence further complicates the status of the House of Black faction, as fellow member Brody King has recently been competing in the AEW World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament with a new partner, Bandido. From "Best Kept Secret" to House Of Black Buddy Matthews has had a decorated career in both WWE and AEW. WWE fans will remember him from his time in NXT, where he was a one-time NXT Tag Team Champion. He later had a career-defining run on the 205 Live brand, where he was repackaged as "The Best Kept Secret" and had a dominant, critically acclaimed reign as the WWE Cruiserweight Champion. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. Courtesy of AEW More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match After his WWE release, he made his debut for AEW in 2022. He was revealed as the third member of the dark and mysterious faction, the House of Black, alongside Malakai Black and Brody King. An Uncertain Future The House of Black quickly became one of the most popular and dominant groups in AEW. Their biggest success came when they captured the AEW World Trios Championship and held the titles for a significant portion of 2023. This injury is an unfortunate setback for the talented Australian star. The wrestling world now wishes him a full and speedy recovery and awaits the eventual, and likely ominous, return of the full House of Black. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
