Gone Too Soon: Honoring Virginia Roberts (4/26/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. On Friday, we learned of the tragic news
• 0:08
  of the passing of Virginia Roberts, and to say that
• 0:11
  it's heartbreaking is an absolute understatement. This is a woman
• 0:16
  who stepped up to the plate when a lot of
• 0:18
  other people remained silent, and it was Virginia who first
• 0:21
  pulled those curtains back to expose the degenerate that Jeffrey
• 0:25
  Epstein really was. She was ignored, she was ridiculed, she
• 0:31
  was maligned, and she was counted out. But instead of
• 0:34
  giving up, she continued the fight, and she continued to
• 0:37
  expose Jeffrey Epstein and all of his associates for what
• 0:41
  they were. And then finally, after years of being ignored,
• 0:46
  people finally started to pay attention. And when people started
• 0:49
  to pay attention, they understood very quickly that what Virginia
• 0:52
  was telling us about Jeffrey Epstein's operation was one hundred
• 0:55
  percent true. And if it wasn't for people like Virginia,
• 0:59
  we would have never had any idea what Jeffrey Epstein
• 1:01
  was really up to. So I think society as a
• 1:03
  whole owes Virginia a great debt, because it takes a
• 1:06
  special kind of courage to stand up to people like
• 1:09
  Jeffrey Epstein, people like Prince Andrew, people like Elaine Maxwell
• 1:13
  and do so in the way that Virginia did for
• 1:15
  so many years. Now, Look, Virginia wasn't a perfect person.
• 1:19
  Who is. We all have our scars, we all have
• 1:22
  our issues, and we all certainly have our demons. And
• 1:25
  I know that there is not that much information as
• 1:28
  far as what happened to Virginia here, but according to
• 1:31
  the official narrative, her passing was due to self harm. Now,
• 1:35
  of course, there's a lot of people out there that
• 1:36
  don't believe it, and Virginia herself said a few years
• 1:39
  ago that she wasn't suicidal. But we all know how
• 1:42
  bad PTSD can be. We all know that mental issues
• 1:45
  can creep up, especially if you're embroiled in some kind
• 1:48
  of relationship issue like Virginia and her husband seem to
• 1:51
  be embroiled in. So you have all of those other
• 1:54
  factors laying underneath the surface. Then they all get amplified
• 1:59
  when she has these their issues, and you can certainly
• 2:01
  see tragedy coming. Now, with that said, I don't know
• 2:05
  what happened I have no clue, and I'm not willing
• 2:08
  to just say, oh, yeah, the official narrative is what
• 2:11
  it is. And that's because the official narrative, unfortunately, when
• 2:14
  it comes to Epstein, is never the official narrative. So
• 2:17
  we're always forced to look deeper, dig under the surface
• 2:20
  a bit and try and see if there's anything else there.
• 2:23
  And there's certainly a lot of people out there that
• 2:25
  believe that whatever happened here was of a nefarious nature,
• 2:29
  and I think there's going to be plenty of time
• 2:31
  to discuss that, figure out what the hell happened here,
• 2:34
  if it was self harm, or if there was something
• 2:36
  else going on. But in this episode, we're just going
• 2:39
  to talk about the situation as it is. We're going
• 2:42
  to talk about what we know, and we're going to
• 2:44
  talk about the tragic passing of our good friend Virginia Roberts.
• 2:48
  Today's article is from the Daily Mail and the headline
• 2:52
  the last days of Virginia Roberts, as Prince Andrew's accuser,
• 2:55
  feared enemies were out together her. Look. I know for
• 2:58
  a fact from talking to virgin personally, that she always
• 3:01
  had that fear. She was always worried about stuff like this. Now,
• 3:05
  does that mean that something nefarious did happen here that
• 3:08
  you know there was some sort of plot toget her.
• 3:10
  I don't know, but I will tell you for a fact,
• 3:13
  I know from talking to her personally, that it's something
• 3:16
  that she definitely feared. This article was authored by Ian
• 3:19
  Gallagher and Caroline Graham. Virginia Roberts was plagued by fears
• 3:25
  that her enemies were trying to smear her reputation in
• 3:28
  the months before she died. The Mail on Sunday has learned, Oh,
• 3:31
  there's no doubt about it. There is no doubt about that.
• 3:35
  And that's what I was talking about when all that
• 3:37
  news broke about the accident, how that that was going
• 3:40
  to open the door for people to try and challenge
• 3:42
  the veracity of her allegations. And you know, people walked
• 3:46
  right through it, The same exact people that always do
• 3:49
  walked right through that door and started running in their
• 3:51
  big fat mouths. The suicide of the woman who accused
• 3:54
  Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse after her
• 3:57
  troubles overwhelmed her. All right, so let's back up a
• 4:00
  second here. Accuse Prince Andrew. Check that's real. Accused Jeffrey Epstein. Well, yeah,
• 4:05
  he actually abused her, for sure, without a doubt. There's
• 4:08
  not even a question. Is there any debate about it?
• 4:11
  And as far as Prince Andrew's bitch ass goes, I
• 4:13
  don't want to hear anything about that, dude. Oh yeah, sure,
• 4:17
  let's get into this settlement. And I'm innocent. And Andrew
• 4:19
  Butler is my lawyer. Like I said a million times before,
• 4:23
  I have no doubt that what Virginia said about Prince
• 4:25
  Andrew is true. And that's my opinion. I've always thought
• 4:29
  what she said was true and I continue to believe that.
• 4:31
  And if the Joe Exotica, the Windsor family thinks this
• 4:34
  isn't out for him, he's absolutely incorrect, because guess what, buddy,
• 4:39
  You're still on the clock. Being discredited was one of
• 4:42
  the many things distressing her in recent months, set a
• 4:44
  friend in the end. A rancor is divorce and ongoing
• 4:48
  separation from her three children, who remain in their father's custody.
• 4:51
  Well yeah they should right Where else should they go?
• 4:54
  Should they become wards of the state? What does that
• 4:57
  even mean? Appear to have finally Miss Roberts over the edge.
• 5:02
  She was found dead at her farm near Perth, Australia
• 5:04
  on Friday night. And if this official narrative is true,
• 5:09
  it just goes to show you, folks that the kind
• 5:11
  of trauma that Virginia was dealing with, the kind of
• 5:14
  abuse that she suffered, that doesn't go away because you
• 5:17
  get a couple of bucks. Sure, it's nice to get
• 5:20
  a bag and I don't have to worry about your
• 5:22
  bills anymore, or your kids going to college or anything
• 5:25
  like that. But at the end of the day, does
• 5:27
  that make you better? Does that fix the mental issues
• 5:30
  that you're dealing with. Does it fix the distrust you
• 5:33
  now have in society? Of course it doesn't. So the
• 5:37
  money's great, the settlement's great, but it doesn't solve everything.
• 5:42
  It solves surface level issues and certainly gives you a
• 5:45
  peace of mind. But if you're dealing with something very
• 5:47
  traumatic and you went through all kinds of crazy stuff
• 5:50
  like Virginia, yeah, those memories they're still going to be
• 5:53
  there and it doesn't matter how much money you have.
• 5:56
  Her sister in law, Amanda Roberts said, we wish for
• 5:59
  all sor to get justice. That is who she was.
• 6:03
  We lost our sister, her children, lost her mother, and
• 6:05
  her mother lost her daughter. She was one of the
• 6:08
  most beautiful souls you would ever have the chance to meet.
• 6:11
  But I think sometimes that load and that weight becomes
• 6:13
  too much to carry, and there is zero doubt. Can
• 6:16
  you imagine all the press attention, all the people calling
• 6:20
  you a liar, saying all kinds of crazy things about you,
• 6:23
  and you've actually been abused by these people. Imagine the
• 6:26
  toll that that would take on you. It's like getting
• 6:28
  abused twice or multiple times. Before she died, family members
• 6:32
  had expressed fears over her mental state. Her father, Sky Roberts,
• 6:36
  said his daughter was very depressed and in really bad shape.
• 6:40
  Friends of the forty one year old said Miss Roberts
• 6:42
  was deeply upset about being mocked over a picture she
• 6:45
  posted of herself in a hospital bed last month. And
• 6:47
  that's exactly what I knew, what happened, exactly what we
• 6:50
  talked about. The whole culture, vulture of the internet is
• 6:53
  just wild, and people forget sometimes that the people that
• 6:56
  you're talking about are real people. They're not just some
• 6:59
  screen name on Twitter or you know, the computer or whatever.
• 7:02
  These are real people. And when they sign off a
• 7:04
  lot of these people they carry that trauma with them,
• 7:07
  so you know, you get on there and you're firing
• 7:09
  off all these dumbass comments like you're some kind of
• 7:11
  wise guy shit people who never say in person, by
• 7:14
  the way, and it really has an effect on people
• 7:16
  who are dealing with mental issues as it is. And
• 7:19
  obviously that played a big role here for Virginia. Maybe
• 7:22
  not in the actual, you know, action, what occurred, but
• 7:26
  leading up to it, there's no doubt about it. Even
• 7:29
  the strongest amongst us have breaking points, and sometimes when
• 7:32
  we break, we break. She claimed that she had been
• 7:36
  involved in a car crash that left her with only
• 7:38
  four days to live, but the accident was nothing more
• 7:41
  than a minor bump, and that was an outcry. She
• 7:43
  was crying out for help right there. And I sent
• 7:47
  Virginia an email after this whole ordeal started, and I
• 7:51
  didn't hear back from her, which was pretty odd because
• 7:54
  usually when I emailed Virginia or vice versa, it would
• 7:57
  be a pretty quick contact one way or the other.
• 8:00
  But I didn't hear back from her, so I figured
• 8:02
  she was really going through it, and obviously she was
• 8:07
  a Spokesman for Miss Roberts said she made a mistake
• 8:11
  and had not intended to make the post public, but
• 8:13
  it led to claims that the episode had destroyed her credibility,
• 8:16
  with some of Andrew's supporters calling her a fantasist. And
• 8:20
  that is just straight up bullshit. But unfortunately, if you
• 8:23
  leave the door open even a little bit, people are
• 8:26
  going to walk through it. And in the days of
• 8:28
  social media, especially when they can amplify their message, oh,
• 8:32
  you better believe they're going to get all over it
• 8:34
  and they're going to say whatever they possibly can to
• 8:37
  try and change that narrative. But anybody who was thinking that,
• 8:40
  because of the incident of this car crash, that Virginia
• 8:43
  is not being truthful about what happened with her abuse
• 8:46
  is crazy. How could you conflate the two? Now, of course,
• 8:50
  if you have an agenda, you can say, hey, look,
• 8:52
  she obviously told stories here, so she's telling stories here.
• 8:55
  But here's the big problem with that. Your boy, Prince Andrew,
• 9:00
  Joe Exotic of the Windsor Family, mister innocent, mister pillar
• 9:03
  of society, mister om innocent. And I don't sweat He's
• 9:07
  the one who entered into the settlement, right, Nobody forced
• 9:10
  him to do that. He could have fought that He
• 9:12
  could have said, no, it's not me, I didn't do this.
• 9:14
  I would never do something like this. But what did
• 9:16
  he do? Instead? He entered into the settlement because he
• 9:20
  knew that Virginia and her lawyers have the goods on him,
• 9:23
  point blank period. I will never be convinced of anything else,
• 9:26
  and not only because of the evidence we have, but
• 9:29
  because of Prince Andrew's reactions to all of this and
• 9:32
  what he hasn't done. That is not the behavior of
• 9:35
  an innocent man. Miss Roberts accused the Duke of York
• 9:40
  of sexually assaulting her when she was seventeen after she
• 9:43
  was trafficked to London. It led to him stepping back
• 9:45
  from public life in twenty nineteen. He has always denied
• 9:49
  any wrongdoing. Miss Roberts launched a civil lawsuit alleging she
• 9:52
  was coerced into having sex with them. In twenty twenty two,
• 9:56
  the Duke agreed to an adequurt settlement, thought to be
• 9:59
  between three million pounds and twelve million pounds, despite denying
• 10:03
  he sexually abused her. Oh yeah, I never abused you.
• 10:06
  Here's twelve million dollars. Here's fifteen million dollars. Stop it,
• 10:12
  get help. Sources close to Andrews said yesterday that he
• 10:16
  intends to keep his thoughts on the death of his
• 10:19
  accuser to himself. Yeah, probably a good idea, but unfortunately
• 10:23
  for him, I don't plan on keeping my thoughts about
• 10:25
  him to myself. I despise Prince Andrew one of the
• 10:30
  most condemnable pieces of shit of all time. You want
• 10:35
  to talk about wasted talent, talk about a wasted life.
• 10:38
  Imagine being the Queen's son and fucking everything up this
• 10:41
  bad Instead of using all that power, all that prestige
• 10:44
  for good. He's out here hanging out with arms dealers,
• 10:47
  hanging out with human traffickers, and out here banging underage girls.
• 10:50
  So go get fuck Joe Exotic of the Windsor family.
• 10:53
  And furthermore, if you're somebody who supports Joe Exotic, you
• 10:56
  can take a trip to boal Moral and get fucked too.
• 10:58
  Fire in Brimstone for all you scoundrels, they said. He
• 11:01
  resolved to draw a veil over the Epstein scandal long ago,
• 11:05
  conscious that any public intervention would be foolhardy in light
• 11:09
  of his humiliating twenty nineteen Panorama TV interview, which resulted
• 11:13
  in nationwide ridicule and criticism for failing to express regret
• 11:17
  for his involvement with Epstein or sympathy for the victims.
• 11:21
  One source said, what can he say now? Miss Roberts
• 11:24
  is a mother of three children. It's a tragedy. Yesterday,
• 11:27
  Miss Roberts's family described her as a fierce warrior and
• 11:30
  the light that lifted so many survivors. Look, there's no
• 11:33
  doubt that she kicked in the door. And as much
• 11:35
  as Prince Andrew hates to admit it and her detractors
• 11:38
  hate to admit it, Virginia played a gigantic role in
• 11:41
  unveiling what Epstein was up to. So I think that
• 11:44
  we all owe her a great debt. And you know
• 11:46
  how we can make good on that debt by not
• 11:48
  letting off the gas, by continuing to pursue Jeffrey Epstein
• 11:52
  and his scumbag friends to the ends of the earth.
• 11:54
  They should be given no respite, no reprieve, and certainly
• 11:58
  no comfort. Every last person who was involved needs to
• 12:02
  be exposed, and if they took part, they also need
• 12:05
  to be arrested. They said in a statement that in
• 12:09
  the end, the toll of the abuse is so heavy
• 12:11
  that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle. Their sentiments
• 12:15
  were echoed by her lawyer, David Boyce. He said her courage, caring,
• 12:19
  and strength were an inspiration. She was one of the
• 12:21
  strongest people I have ever known. But the physical abuse
• 12:24
  she suffered as a child at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein,
• 12:27
  and the verbal abuse she continued to suffer at the
• 12:29
  hands of his collaborators trying to salvage their reputations by
• 12:33
  attacking hers. Finally whirred down. God bless you Virginia, and
• 12:37
  God damn your abusers. Well that's a great statement by
• 12:41
  David Boyce, tell you that much, and he's not wrong,
• 12:43
  But I'll take it a step further. Goddamn all abusers,
• 12:47
  all you pieces of shit, you're all on the clock.
• 12:52
  Spencer Covin, who represented several Epstein victims, added abuse victims
• 12:56
  never truly recover. Despite her remarkable strength and resilience, Miss
• 12:59
  Robert fought valiantly against her wealthy and powerful abusers. It's
• 13:04
  both saddening and not surprising that she chose to end
• 13:06
  her life well allegedly, but there's no doubt that when
• 13:10
  you're fighting battles the way that Virginia was fighting them,
• 13:14
  It's a difficult task man, and if people don't have
• 13:17
  mental issues, you know, and people never been through it,
• 13:19
  then you're not going to really be able to relate
• 13:21
  to what somebody is going through last night, a source said,
• 13:25
  Virginia's life imploded in recent months. Her marriage broke down
• 13:29
  and she was in severe physical and mental pain. She'd
• 13:33
  been taking prescription pills since she was with Epstein. She
• 13:36
  has not seen her kid since her husband filed a
• 13:38
  restraining order earlier this year. She was doing court as
• 13:41
  she broke that order. She was concerned about all the
• 13:44
  things being said about her, but her main worry was
• 13:46
  not being able to see her children. That's what broke her.
• 13:50
  Emergency services received a report about a woman found on
• 13:53
  responsive at a home in near a Gabby, twelve miles
• 13:56
  north of Perth, at about nine to fifty pm local
• 13:59
  time on Friday. She was declared dead at the scene.
• 14:03
  She lost her life to suicide after being a lifelong
• 14:06
  victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking, set her family statement.
• 14:10
  A source said Miss Roberts felt ashamed that she was
• 14:12
  able to bring down Epstein in his accomplice Glenn Maxwell,
• 14:15
  but was unable to find the strength to leave her
• 14:18
  unhappy marriage. Her father's skuy told Deli Mail before her death.
• 14:22
  There is everything else she's been going through with the
• 14:24
  divorce and not being able to see her kids. I'm
• 14:27
  hoping she can hang on. She's only forty one, She's
• 14:30
  got a lot of life left to live, and there
• 14:33
  is no doubt that she had so much life left
• 14:35
  to live. This is truly a tragedy. It is absolutely
• 14:40
  heartbreaking for everybody involved. I can't even imagine what her
• 14:43
  poor children are going to go through. It's completely gut wrenching, honestly.
• 14:49
  Two weeks earlier, Miss Roberts posted several photographs of her
• 14:52
  three beautiful babies, writing I missed them so very much.
• 14:56
  I've been through hell and back in my forty one years,
• 14:59
  but this is incredib hurting me worse than anything else.
• 15:02
  Hurt me, abuse me, but don't take my babies. My
• 15:05
  heart is shattered and every day that passes, my sadness
• 15:09
  only deepens. So, folks, look, we don't know what happened
• 15:12
  here yet. The official narrative says suicide, and considering Virginia's issues,
• 15:17
  certainly not out of the realm of possibility. And as
• 15:20
  we close out this episode, I'd like to leave you
• 15:22
  with a poem that was written by Henry Scott Holland
• 15:26
  death is nothing at all. It does not count. I
• 15:30
  have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened.
• 15:33
  Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and
• 15:38
  you are you, and the old life that we live
• 15:40
  so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to
• 15:44
  each other that we are still Call me by my
• 15:47
  old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way
• 15:51
  which you always used. Put no difference into your tone,
• 15:55
  where no forced air of sorrow. Laugh as we always
• 15:59
  laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, Smile,
• 16:03
  think of me, Pray for me. Let my name be
• 16:05
  ever the household word that it always was. Let it
• 16:09
  be spoken without an effort, without the ghost of a
• 16:12
  shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant.
• 16:16
  It's the same as it ever was. There is absolute
• 16:19
  and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident.
• 16:24
  Why should I be out of my mind because I
• 16:26
  am out of sight? I am but waiting for you
• 16:29
  for an interval somewhere very near, just round the corner.
• 16:32
  All is well, Nothing is hurt. Nothing is lost one
• 16:36
  brief moment, and all will be as it was before.
• 16:40
  How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting when
• 16:43
  we meet again, And may Virginia find the peace in
• 16:46
  death that she could never find in life. All of
• 16:49
  the information that goes with this episode can be found
• 16:53
  in the description box.
