Virginia Giuffre has been discharged from hospital, seven days after taking to social media to confirm she had been in a serious road accident and only had “four days to live.”
A representative for the 41-year-old confirmed to PEOPLE that she was released from the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth on April 7.
While no comment was made in relation to the current health status of Virginia, we can assume that she is now recovering from her injuries from home.
On March 30, she posted a photo of herself on Instagram with a black eye, bruises, and scratches in what appeared to be a hospital bed.
In her caption, she alleged she was in an accident with a bus, and that her health had significantly declined afterwards. She did not confirm where or when it occurred.
Police in Western Australia reported there was a minor crash between a bus and a car on March 24, but there were “no reported injuries”.
Virginia’s spokesperson also said she was injured and reported it to the police, but they did not respond.
Speaking to 7NEWS.com.au, Acting WA Police Commissioner Kylie said she was “not aware of any passengers on the bus”.
She also said that the only reports of the crash came a day later from the bus driver, and she was not “aware of any injuries”.
Now, Virginia’s family has responded after there was speculation about the incident.
“On March 24, in rural Western Australia, a school bus hit the car in which she was riding. The police were called but said that there was no one available to come to the scene,” they said in a statement to The Mirror.
“They asked if anyone was injured and suggested that if they were, they should make their way to the hospital.”
“The school bus driver had a bus full of distraught children and left the scene to get them back, saying he would file a police report, which he did later. Virginia was banged up and bruised and returned home.”
They continued to say she was admitted to hospital after her condition worsened, and she intended to make the post to her private Facebook account.
“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 originally wrote in the post.
“I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes,” she continued.
“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.”
The 41-year-old finished the post by thanking people for being a part of her life.
When the news first broke, her spokesperson Dini von Mueffing confirmed she was in a “serious accident” in a statement to the BBC.
The American-Australian accused Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell of trafficking her to Prince Andrew when she was 17.
The Duke of York has denied all of these claims but reached an out-of-court settlement with her in 2022. In the settlement, he was ordered to pay in excess of $20 million by a New York court.
