From Manipulation to Survival — Giuffre’s Fight to Tell Her Story

Giuffre recalls how quickly her sense of freedom vanished. During one early stay at an apartment owned by Epstein’s brother, she ventured out for a long walk through Manhattan — unaware that such independence would spark Epstein’s fury.

“When I returned, Epstein demanded angrily where I had been, while Maxwell glared at me,” she wrote. “That was the last time I saw the Sixty-Sixth Street apartment.”

After that, she was confined to a fifth-floor bedroom inside Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse. The room, decorated with “menacing wall-hangings” depicting wild boars feeding on carcasses, had an intercom that Epstein used to summon her — a constant reminder of control. “I quickly learned not to keep him waiting,” she recalled.

Giuffre says her abuse escalated as Epstein began “lending” her to powerful men — an allegation she has maintained for years. “I was habitually used and humiliated,” she wrote, describing violent assaults that left her “choked, beaten, and bloodied.”

For years, she believed she would “die a sex slave.” But her memoir — now public — is her final act of defiance, telling the full truth of what happened behind closed doors in Epstein’s world of wealth, secrecy, and abuse.
