Ghislaine Maxwell Claims Victim Virginia Giuffre Received $100K For 'False' Jeffrey Epstein Stories

New documents from the Jeffrey Epstein case reveal that victim Virginia Giuffre was accused by defendant Ghislaine Maxwell of receiving a hefty payment to tell "false "stories about the situation.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Maxwell alleged that Giuffre connived with several reputable news outlets to tell sensationalized stories about Epstein.

In the court document, Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence claimed, "Plaintiff [Giuffre] sought public attention to her fabricated story concerning Ms. Maxwell and others. To wit, Plaintiff was paid more than $100,000 for her false story to the Daily Mail as well as the sale of a photograph purporting to be of herself and Prince Andrew."

The document further read, "[She] then further sought public attention to her story through (a) an interview with Bradley Edwards and Jack Scarola, (b) through contact with various literary agents, ghost-writers and news outlets, and (c) through a carefully orchestrated scheme to publish her false claims in a public pleading in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, as well as media interviews and other contacts including ABC News, Sharon Churcher, and her purported work on behalf of Victims Refuse Silence."

Maxwell explained in the court filing that many of Giuffre's "character and truthfulness shortcomings" were protected while the media chose to focus on the many "lies" the victim told about the late Epstein and Maxwell.

As for why the disgraced British Socialite failed to speak up about Giuffre's alleged lies, Maxwell claimed she "decided against making any further statements regarding Plaintiff and her many lies in order to minimize public attention to [her] false claims, despite the many opportunities to provide additional truthful comment and color, as demonstrated by her email communications provided in discovery."

The new update comes a day after Giuffre publicly celebrated the release of the more than 170 names associated with Epstein's sex trafficking case. Following the release of the unsealed court documents, Giuffre took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to celebrate the news that the website crashed due to high traffic volume.

"WE BROKE THE WEBSITE 🙈🙉🙊," she wrote in the tweet which gained traction amongst fans. Days before the highly-anticipated release of the Epstein "List," Giuffre taunted her abuser's associates, writing:

Finally, we are hearing members of the US government senators about the need for transparency and a call to arms for accountability!! There's going to be a lot of nervous ppl over Christmas and New Year's, 170 to be exact, who's on the naughty list? This would t be possible without the Honourable Judge Preska."

In the end, it's unclear if Virginia received any money for her story or photos related to the case. Plus, it's unclear if any of the media outlets named are involved in any such payments.
