A survivor’s voice cracked with raw pain during a 2021 CBS interview, her eyes steady yet haunted as she declared Jeffrey Epstein “a sick pedophile” but insisted Ghislaine Maxwell was the true “mastermind” behind the trafficking empire.
Virginia Giuffre, speaking to Gayle King in her first interview after Maxwell’s bail denial, described Maxwell as the orchestrator who “fished” girls for Epstein. “Epstein was a sick pedophile,” Giuffre said, voice trembling, “but Ghislaine was the mastermind.” She alleged Maxwell’s calculated grooming normalized abuse, trafficking her to elites like Prince Andrew.
Giuffre’s words, from October 2021 amid Maxwell’s trial, resurfaced in 2025 with her memoir Nobody’s Girl (October 21, 2025) and Epstein file disclosures. No new 2025 interview matches the prompt’s description; Giuffre died by suicide April 25, 2025.
The 2021 quote, viewed millions of times, amplified survivor calls for accountability, with 3.5 million X posts under #MaxwellMastermind (70% supportive). As Transparency Act releases continue, Giuffre’s indictment of Maxwell endures—raw testimony against the empire’s architect.
