Nobody’s Girl reveals a devastating lifetime of abuse
Powerful men from around the world, from politicians to scientists, attack Giuffre to rape her and others. A “former minister” treats Giuffre so brutally that she leaves the scene “with blood pouring from my mouth, vagina and anus.” Epstein and modeling mogul Brunel abused her and others together, “taking mutual ill pleasure in our misfortune.”
Then, of course, there are her repeated encounters with Prince Andrew, who “believes it is his birthright to have sex with me.” When asked about Giuffre’s age, the then-41-year-old actress correctly guesses that their daughter is only slightly younger than the then-17-year-old. Giuffre writes that she “paid particular attention” to the royal’s feet, “caressing” her toes and “licking” the arches of her feet. (Following renewed public outcry, Andrew renounced the title of Duke of York.)

As the criminal justice system catches up with other aggressors, Giuffre begins to recover from the damage that comes with repeating her abuse: “Each retelling of my abuse stories hit me hard… it consumed me.” While health problems (including a broken neck) increase his physical torment, “thoughts of self-destruction” become part of his daily mental battle.

Thoughts of her own children never leave Giuffre’s mind Nobody’s Daughter. It was the birth of her daughter, despite the many real threats it would pose, that gave Giuffre the strength to finally challenge Epstein and move beyond her trauma to reach for a greater purpose.
Giuffre concludes by adding that there were other powerful men who could be named as her abusers. To protect her family’s future well-being, she decides not to take them out any more: “My most important role is motherhood.” Still, he doesn’t believe the Epstein case can be closed yet: “Where like that The videotapes that the FBI seized from Epstein’s homes?” Through this project, Giuffre exorcizes the many demons that have surrounded her throughout her short life.
