In her posthumously published memoir, Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Giuffre alleges that while she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and his associates she was sent to a “well-known Prime Minister” who raped her “more savagely than anyone had before”. She describes being choked until unconscious, bleeding from multiple wounds, and begging Epstein not to return her to that person — only to be told coldly “You'll get that sometimes.”The identity of the prime minister remains undisclosed in the memoir, but the revelation has stirred renewed scrutiny of the power networks and political complicity surrounding Epstein's trafficking operations. According to media coverage, Giuffre's ghostwriter claims to know all the “names in Epstein's files” and the book has reignited debates about immunity, accountability and how high the cover-up goes.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein accuser's memoir alleges rape by prime minister, recalls Epstein-Clinton ties | Fox News

Virginia Giuffre refused to stay silent — even when the cost was her peace. In this Hidden Killers special, Tony Brueski dives into the explosive story behind Giuffre's posthumous memoir Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice — a book that's shaking the foundations of power, exposing how predators thrive when the world looks away. At just sixteen, Virginia was working at Mar-a-Lago when Ghislaine Maxwell approached her with promises of opportunity. Those promises led her into Jeffrey Epstein's orbit — a network of billionaires, politicians, and global elites who treated girls like currency. Epstein's homes were wired for sound and video, his leverage built on blackmail, and his power maintained through silence. In Nobody's Girl, Giuffre details the unimaginable: being “lent out” to the powerful, threatened into obedience, and watched by a system that protected wealth over humanity. She fought back anyway — naming names in court, taking on Prince Andrew, and building an advocacy movement for survivors of trafficking worldwide. Months after her death in 2025, her words live on. Through this episode, we examine not only her courage but the machinery that kept her abusers safe — from sealed FBI files to the culture of complicity that lets predators in power walk free. Because this isn't just a story about Epstein. It's about the institutions that enable him — and the people still hiding behind their influence today.

In her memoir Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Virginia Roberts Giuffre describes how Jeffrey Epstein often spoke about preserving his body through cryogenic freezing after death. She recalls him saying his remains would be stored in a cryogenic chamber until science advanced enough to bring him back to life. Giuffre presents this as more than just a bizarre fixation—it reflected Epstein's obsession with control, power, and his delusional belief that his wealth could make him immortal. She wrote that Epstein seemed convinced he could escape mortality itself, treating the concept as another form of domination over nature and other people.Giuffre further used this story to expose Epstein's narcissistic worldview, portraying him as a man who genuinely believed himself to be above consequence or morality. She explained that his talk of cryogenic preservation wasn't idle fantasy—it fit into a broader ideology of transhumanism that he pushed onto his inner circle. Epstein saw himself as a self-made god, someone destined to transcend ordinary human limits through science and money. Giuffre included the anecdote as evidence of how his psychopathy extended beyond his crimes against women, showing the megalomania that drove his entire life.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein Planned to Cryogenically Freeze Body After Death: Book - Business Insider

In Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Virginia Giuffre opens up about the full, unrelenting scope of her trauma — the kind that doesn't fade with time or distance. She writes about how, for years after escaping Jeffrey Epstein's orbit, the abuse followed her in the form of brutal, recurring nightmares. These dreams, she says, weren't abstract or distant; they were graphic replays of the hell she endured. In them, she relives the moments of being trapped and powerless — “greedy, heaving men on top of me,” as she describes in one passage — faces of powerful men she says she could never forget no matter how much therapy or time passed. These weren't just faceless monsters in her dreams, but the same influential figures who smiled for cameras by day and committed atrocities behind closed doors. Each nightmare pulled her back into that same room, that same suffocating darkness, where her voice was taken and her body wasn't hers to protect.Giuffre writes that even as she built a life beyond Epstein, married, and became a mother, the shadows of her past crept into every quiet moment. The nightmares would come without warning, often triggered by a sound, a smell, or a fleeting image — and they would leave her in tears, shaking and gasping for air. In Nobody's Girl, she describes waking up drenched in sweat, her heart pounding, the faces of her abusers flashing before her eyes. The emotional toll was relentless: feelings of shame, self-blame, and fear blended into a kind of nightly punishment for crimes she never committed. Through therapy, advocacy, and confronting her past publicly, she began to reclaim fragments of peace — but even then, she admits that healing isn't clean or complete. Her nightmares became both a curse and a reminder: a symbol of the damage inflicted not just by Epstein and Maxwell, but by the entire system of enablers who let it happen.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew accuser Virginia Giuffre claimed she was haunted by images of 'greedy, heaving men' who abused herBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this conversation, Neil sits down with Becky, a Melbourne-born mother of three who shares her journey from a turbulent childhood, through an abusive marriage and into life as a sex worker.

Today, Eric is delighted to welcome Melva LaJoy Legrand as his guest. Melva is an icon in our industry, having built an impressive career that spans the US, France, and Europe, earning numerous recognitions along the way. In this episode, she shares her journey and discusses the honors she received within the industry, offering inspiration and insights for solopreneurs and small business owners. Her Journey Melva began her career as a teacher, but her creative spark kept pulling her in a different direction. A volunteering stint at a radio station one summer introduced her to concerts, festivals, and events, and she discovered her true calling. With the unwavering support of her parents, she stepped into event planning, starting at the bottom, and soaking up every lesson she learned along the way. With the help of her mentors, she managed to overcome her fear, learn about leadership, and shape her emotional intelligence. With perseverance, faith, and resilience, Melva built her own business, LaJoy Creative, weaving together her professional achievements and her personal trials. Her Early Career Melva describes her early years as a "preparation season”, where she embraced every small task with humility, absorbing lessons from behind the scenes. That shaped her professional values, helping her decide the kind of leader she wanted to become. Mentorship and Growth Melva had several mentors who were all central to her development. One of her mentors encouraged her toward a leadership position at a major festival, creating a breakthrough moment where she discovered her own capacity to lead. This experience highlighted the importance of humility, teachability, and persistence in building effective mentor relationships. Building Confidence and Starting Over Melva restarted her business in 2019 during a deeply challenging period while caring for her ailing father. His encouragement gave her the courage to relaunch her business, and she also received additional confirmation from her mentors and unexpected encounters, fueling her belief that her business was her purpose. Overcoming Trauma and Anchoring in Faith As a survivor of abuse and trauma, Melva knows that therapy, faith, support groups, and resilience are an essential part of the healing process. Her faith and clarity about her values have shaped her leadership and business decisions, ensuring she only accepts work that aligns with her principles. Awards and Recognition Melva has received numerous honors, including recognition for organizing survivor-focused events, being named a Top Female Founder 500, and winning Silver for International Event Agency of the Year. Those awards affirm her parents' belief that the world would always make room for her. She also takes pride in recent collaborations, including honoring cultural icons at a major beauty and artistry event. Cultural Perspective: US vs France Living between the US and France has given Melva unique insight into the work-life balance. She contrasts the American culture of overwork with the French emphasis on rest and leisure. While she acknowledges higher US salaries, she credits her best creative breakthroughs to the mental clarity she gained during her time abroad.

In this episode, I'm talking with Mita Mallick, speaker, workplace strategist, coach, and bestselling author. She's sharing stories from her own career and what she's learned about surviving toxic leaders - from executives who throw shoes to managers who use “toxic positivity” as a weapon. Mita also offers strategies for spotting warning signs in an interview, building an exit plan that protects your career, and regaining your confidence once you've left. We also explore the patterns that keep people stuck in unhealthy workplaces: how old experiences can shape what we tolerate, why many of us think we can “outwork” a bad boss, and what it really takes to reclaim your well-being.

In this powerful and anonymous conversation, “Gina” shares what it's really like to leave a narcissist—only to discover the abuse doesn't stop, it just changes form. From custody battles and endless court motions to collusion between exes and the crushing failures of the system, Gina opens up about the psychological warfare of co-parenting, the Bermuda Triangle of “help,” and why “just leaving” is never as simple as people think. As a mother, a survivor, and a 911 dispatcher, she offers a rare perspective: one that blends lived experience with frontline exposure to abuse in real time. Most importantly, she shares how she stopped chasing court wins and started modeling peace for her children. If you've ever felt unheard, discredited, or exhausted by the system, Gina's story is proof that you're not alone—and that you can still create safety and peace, even in the chaos.

A memoir titled Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, written by Virginia Roberts Giuffre with journalist Amy Wallace, is scheduled for posthumous release on October 21, 2025, from Alfred A. Knopf (with Penguin Random House involved in audio and ebook editions). The 400‑page manuscript was completed prior to Giuffre's death by suicide in April 2025, and she had conveyed—via an email to Wallace dated April 1—that it was her “heartfelt wish” for the book to be published regardless of the outcome. Publishers describe the memoir as an unsparing and powerful narrative of trafficking, abuse, and survival, rigorously fact-checked and legally vetted, aimed at spotlighting systemic failures in human trafficking enforcement and championing justice and awareness.Of particular note, Nobody's Girl includes “intimate, disturbing, and heartbreaking new details” about Giuffre's experiences with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and other high-profile individuals—including Britain's Prince Andrew. This marks her first public discussion of Andrew since their 2022 out-of-court settlement, which reportedly involved a multi-million‑dollar payment. In doing so, the memoir is expected to reignite scrutiny and media attention on the allegations Andrew has long denied, resurrecting his central role in a scandal many believed had faded from the headlines.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Prince Andrew struggling as Virginia Giuffre memoir set for release: expert | Fox News

Amanza Smith might be best known for Selling Sunset, but her journey to the woman she is today is jaw-dropping. She's lived one of those lives which makes you stop and wonder how she made it through. That's why it was such a privilege to sit down with her today.Having survived a traumatic childhood marked by abuse and racism, Amanza battled with addiction that almost cost her life, but possessing a strength you rarely see, she got herself clean through sheer willpower. She spoke to me about how her daughter saved her life, triggering a path towards healing from the abuse she'd experienced as a child. Amanza spoke openly about cutting ties with her mother, and how she became a single mother overnight when her partner vanished, and who she's never had contact with again.Despite experiencing so much, Amanza was brimming with laughter and joy - this conversation is rich in emotion, in positivity and in feeling. It's a powerful reminder that even when it feels like life is breaking you, you can always rebuild.You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerEditor: Dan KingVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

When Michelle Markgraf worked as the executive director of the Compass Center, a rape and domestic abuse center in South Dakota, she encountered survivors from all walks of life—including many Christians who felt deeply alone in their suffering. In this powerful conversation, she dismantles the myth that abuse doesn't happen in faith communities and provides crucial insights for recognizing, understanding, and responding to abuse.Markgraf defines abuse through two essential components: it's a pattern of controlling behaviors, not isolated incidents. While physical abuse might be the most visible, she explains why emotional and spiritual abuse often cause deeper, longer-lasting damage. For Christians, spiritual abuse—where Scripture is twisted to maintain control—represents a particularly devastating form of manipulation that can damage not only relationships but also one's relationship with God.The statistics are sobering: approximately 40% of women and 25% of men experience physically abusive relationships during their lifetime, regardless of their faith background. For those supporting loved ones in abusive situations, Markgraf offers counter-intuitive but crucial advice: first, believe them unconditionally; second, resist the urge to immediately tell them to leave. Understanding that victims leave and return to abusers an average of seven times before leaving permanently helps supporters maintain consistent, judgment-free presence.Churches can make a profound difference by openly acknowledging abuse, training advocates within congregations, and making resources visible. For survivors, Markgraf offers a powerful connection to faith: Jesus himself experienced profound abuse without cause and deeply understands their suffering.Whether you're currently in an abusive relationship, support someone who might be, or simply want to better understand this important issue, this episode provides compassionate insight and practical wisdom for addressing abuse in Christian communities.Support the show

Purchase a copy of Baptistland: https://amzn.to/3R6MzP2About the Book:It began with just wanting to tell the truth. But truth-telling has a way of snowballing.When Christa Brown first spoke out about the sexual abuse she endured in her Texas childhood church, she never imagined it would expose the ethical chasm at the core of the Southern Baptist Convention: male religious leaders so focused on institutional protection that they sacrifice the safety of children.A book about speaking out and speaking up, Baptistland weaves together Christa's revealing story of hope amid Southern patriarchy and religious fundamentalism. You'll meet the young Christa who endures family dysfunction, the trauma of bodily desecration, and the death blows of a gaslighting church and faith community. Then you'll meet the Christa transformed who finds her voice and rises above the limited expectations of her given culture, becoming a successful attorney and earning the title of advocate for clergy sex abuse survivors.Ultimately, Christa Brown grows into a vivid tree of life, rooted in love, individuality, beauty, and goodness. But it was unrelenting honesty, to herself and others, that guided her to this ordinary paradise. Baptistland speaks to the power of truth-telling—to ourselves, our relationships, and our institutions.✖️✖️✖️Support the Show: Patreon.com/PreacherBoys✖️✖️✖️If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, visit courage365.org/need-help✖️✖️✖️CONNECT WITH THE SHOW:preacherboyspodcast.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@PreacherBoyshttps://www.facebook.com/preacherboysdoc/https://twitter.com/preacherboysdochttps://www.instagram.com/preacherboysdoc/https://www.tiktok.com/@preacherboyspodTo connect with a community that shares the Preacher Boys Podcast's mission to expose abuse in the IFB, join the OFFICIAL Preacher Boys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1403898676438188/*as an amazon associate I may receive a small commission on purchases made through links in these show notesSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/preacher-boys-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Bearing witness to her childhood, marked by normalized domestic violence, we understand the formidable challenges she faced and the detrimental patterns that took root.

Our conversation then navigates the treacherous but ultimately liberating path Ranika took to reclaim her life. We uncover the immense value of community support in her escape and rebuilding efforts, as she recounts the heartfelt assistance provided by her church and friends during the most trying of times, escaping, with her 5th kid still in her womb. The establishment of her business, Ranika Speaks LLC, marks a beacon of hope and empowerment for others facing similar tribulations. Ranika's profound insights offer a blueprint for aid and compassion, underscoring the importance of resources like the hotline (https://thehotline.org) in supporting loved ones through dark hours.
