Epstein’s “Twisted Family” and the Shocking Word He Forced Her to Use
In her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, Virginia Roberts Giuffre reveals disturbing new details about her years under Jeffrey Epstein’s control — including the chilling word he forced her to call him during sex: “Daddy.”
The memoir, co-written with journalist Amy Wallace and released on October 21, marks Giuffre’s most comprehensive account yet of her life as Epstein’s victim. Written before her death in April at 41, it follows nearly two decades of legal battles and interviews in her fight for justice.
Giuffre describes how she was recruited in 2000, just weeks before her 17th birthday, by Ghislaine Maxwell while working at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. Posing as an opportunity to “massage” Epstein, the job quickly turned into sexual coercion and manipulation that would last for years.
“I needed him not to be a selfish, cruel pedophile,” Giuffre wrote, according to CBS News. “So, I told myself he wasn’t one.”
Once inside Epstein’s inner circle, Giuffre says she was drawn into a sick hierarchy — “Epstein as the patriarch, Maxwell as the matriarch.” Maxwell allegedly referred to the girls as their “children,” and once even introduced Giuffre as their daughter “for kicks.”
But what unsettled Giuffre most was Epstein’s insistence that she call him “Daddy” during sex, a demand that left her feeling both degraded and trapped.
