According to her post-humous memoir, Virginia Giuffre says that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell didn’t just subject her to physical and sexual abuse — they executed what she describes as a calculated psychological war. She recounts that from the moment she was recruited, Maxwell and Epstein worked step-by-step to “break down” her self-worth, isolate her, and cultivate obedience: undermining her comfort with subtle threats, leveraging promises of luxury, and conditioning her into compliance.


Giuffre writes that Maxwell in particular played the role of both mentor and tormentor — grooming her under the guise of opportunity, then using humiliation and fear to erode her sense of agency. According to her book, the worst damage wasn’t the physical acts, but the ongoing manipulation that left her unable to trust her own reactions, afraid to revolt, and deeply haunted by the “ghosts” of her abusers.
