Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre's suicide has led to a vicious attack from Prince Andrew's ex-girlfriend, Victoria Hervey.
Giuffre, back in 2021, sued the Duke of York for sexually abusing her as a minor. The case was later settled out of court for an undisclosed fee.
Following Virginia Giuffre's suicide, Victoria Hervey made a vile post where she claimed that the Epstein victim's "lies" had caught up with her.
In the wake of Virginia Giuffre's death, Prince Andrew's ex, Victoria Hervey, wasted no time dragging her name through the mud over the past accusations the Epstein victim made about the Duke of York.
The actress shared a news report about Giuffre's suicide on her Instagram Story, adding a vile caption that seemed to suggest she got what was coming to her.
"When lies catch up to you, there's no way out," Hervey remarked mockingly, per the Daily Mail.
Following the post, Hervey faced backlash from social media users who called her remarks "cruel," "vile," and "despicable."
The criticism appeared to make her pause her attacks on Giuffre, which she acknowledged in a second post to her story two hours later.
"I have taken the decision to pause my posts on Virginia Giuffre at this time," she said. "Irrespective of the circumstances, suicide in anyone at any time is tragic, and in a young mother who has children, even more so."
Concerning Giuffre's death, the outlet obtained a statement from a WA Police Force spokesperson that hinted that there was no foul play involved.
"About 9.50 pm Friday, 25 April, emergency services received a report [that] a woman had been located unresponsive at a residence in Neergabby," read the statement. "Police and St John WA attended and provided emergency first-aid. Sadly, the 41-year-old woman was declared deceased at the scene."
They added, "The death is being investigated by Major Crime detectives; early indication is the death is not suspicious."
Given the preliminary findings, it is unlikely that the investigation will be open for long unless the autopsy discovers more information.
Mourning her death, Giuffre's family shared a heartfelt statement where they hinted at why she took her life.
In the statement, they claimed that the sex trafficking survivor lost the will to live after being overwhelmed by the toll of her past abuse.
"Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking," the family said about Guiffre, who was one of the many victims trafficked by the late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
"She was the light that lifted so many survivors. In the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight," they added.
Weeks before her death, Giuffre made headlines with a bombshell revelation, claiming she had been physically assaulted by her husband, Robert.
Prior to the revelation, Giuffre had also shared a post in which she claimed she had only days to live after being involved in a car crash.
"I was able to fight back against Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, who abused and trafficked me," the 41-year-old wrote in an exclusive statement to People Magazine.
She added, "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," she concluded.
At the time, Giuffre's loved ones publicly defended her assault claims, with her brother, Sky, alleging that the abuse had been ongoing for 10 years.
He also clarified that her disclosure about the domestic violence was not an attempt to dodge a court appearance related to her recent violation of a restraining order.
The restraining order had been put in place after Robert filed for one, reportedly following an incident where Giuffre became violent during a trip meant to celebrate one of their children's birthdays.
