Overview

  • The publisher released an April 1 email in which Giuffre asked that her memoir be published regardless of her circumstances.
  • Knopf describes new, intimate details about Giuffre’s time with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and says she addresses Prince Andrew for the first time since their 2022 settlement.
  • The publisher says the manuscript was fact-checked and legally reviewed and confirms the book contains no allegations of abuse against President Donald Trump.
  • Giuffre died by suicide on April 25 at her Western Australia property after being hospitalized for a serious accident on March 24, according to Knopf.
  • Some outlets report months-long legal wrangling over whether to include additional high-profile names, a claim not confirmed in Knopf’s announcement.
