Actress Rosanna Arquette has raised questions about the 2025 death of her friend Virginia Giuffre, who had accused Prince Andrew of sexual abuse. Arquette told The Times that she "knew Virginia" and "doesn't think she killed herself." Giuffre's family had said she died by suicide at age 41, but Arquette and others have expressed doubts about the circumstances surrounding her death.

Why it matters

Giuffre was a key figure in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal, accusing Prince Andrew and others of abusing her. Her death has raised concerns about the safety and well-being of Epstein's alleged victims, who Arquette says are "warriors" that need protection.

The details

Arquette, who has spoken about her own experience with disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein, said she had many conversations with Epstein's victims and identified with their struggles. She directly told The Times she does not believe Giuffre died by suicide, contrary to the account given by Giuffre's family. Giuffre's lawyer also expressed doubts about the circumstances of her death, saying there were "big question marks" because there were no signs Giuffre was suicidal.

  • In April 2025, Giuffre's family announced that she had died by suicide at age 41.
  • Giuffre had shared alarming messages about her health in the days leading up to her death.
