A stunned CNN studio fell silent as Sky Roberts’ voice quaked with fury on The Source with Kaitlan Collins July 31, 2025, blasting President Donald Trump’s claim that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” his sister Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago: “She was preyed upon, not stolen.”
Roberts, eyes red with grief and rage, leaned forward: “Trump says Epstein ‘poached’ her like staff? Virginia was 16—a child groomed by Maxwell right there at his resort. ‘Stole’ makes her an object. She was preyed upon, hunted by predators on his property.” His voice broke as he added: “He praised Epstein in 2002—‘terrific guy, likes them young.’ How much did he know?”
Collins’ studio hushed; panelists froze as Roberts wept: “She died April 25 believing truth would win. Don’t let power rewrite her story.” Amanda Roberts, beside him, nodded: “Virginia’s memoir Nobody’s Girl (forthcoming October 21) details the nightmare starting there. Trump’s words diminish her fight.”
The outburst followed Trump’s July 29 Air Force One remarks describing Epstein recruiting Giuffre as “stealing” spa workers. The family’s statement to The Atlantic called it “evasive” and “heartless.”
The interview, viewed millions, trended #PreyedUpon with 3.5 million posts (78% supportive). As Epstein Files Transparency Act pressure mounted (signed November 19, deadline December 19), Roberts’ quaking fury—raw, unrelenting—ensured Giuffre’s legacy pierced deflection: preyed upon, not stolen, her truth unburied.
