Virginia Giuffre’s final, unyielding words, etched into the closing pages of her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice (released October 21, 2025, Alfred A. Knopf), have become a rallying cry: “They’ll never take the truth from me. Not while I’m alive, and not even after I’m gone.”
The line, written months before her suicide on April 24, 2025, appears in the book’s epilogue, where Giuffre reflects on decades of threats, settlements, and smears designed to silence her. “They can take my voice, money, reputation, even my life,” she wrote, “but they’ll never take the truth.” Co-author Amy Wallace confirmed to The Guardian (October 20, 2025) that Giuffre insisted the sentence remain exactly as she penned it, refusing any softening, even as she knew the memoir would be published after her death.
The phrase has since exploded across global media and social platforms. Within 48 hours of release, #TheyllNeverTakeTheTruth trended worldwide, appearing on protest banners outside Buckingham Palace, in survivor vigils on Capitol Hill, and even tattooed on supporters’ arms. Sky Roberts, Giuffre’s brother, told BBC Newsnight (October 21, 2025), “That was Sissy’s last weapon. She knew they could kill her body, but not her words.”
The memoir’s allegations, including three assaults by Prince Andrew and a savage rape by an unnamed “well-known prime minister,” have already forced Andrew’s title revocation and triggered fresh calls for unsealing Epstein’s files. Yet it is this defiant closing line, repeated by survivors from London to Los Angeles, that has cemented Giuffre’s legacy as unbreakable.
As one X post with 1.2 million likes declared: “She’s gone, but the truth is louder than ever.” They’ll never take it.
