Lady Victoria Hervey insisted today that Virginia Giuffre‘s credibility had been ‘destroyed’ after she was released from hospital following her dramatic claim that she had only ‘four days’ to live.
The aristocrat who once dated Prince Andrew said she been vindicated after last week accusing Jeffrey Epstein victim Ms Giuffre of faking claims that a crash with a school bus had left her fighting for life.
Lady Victoria, 48, was slammed as ‘nasty’ and ‘vile’ by many social media users when she joked about Ms Giuffre having posted a selfie of herself with a badly bruised face and claiming that she was about to die from kidney failure.
In a brutal Instagram post, she showed Ms Giuffre’s picture with the word ‘Karma’ added to it, accompanied by the soundtrack of Europe’s 1986 hit The Final Countdown to mock her claims.
Lady Victoria said: ‘I called her out because I have known for a long time what this woman is capable of. She claimed more than a week ago that she had four days to live, and yet now she is out of hospital.’
She added in an exclusive interview with MailOnline: ‘I got a lot of abuse on social media for calling her out and saying that I never believed her. I have no regrets about what I said, and I have been proved right. Her credibility is destroyed.’
Lady Victoria has been a long term critic of Ms Giuffre who won a multi-million pound settlement from Prince Andrew after claiming that she had been forced to have sex with him three times at the age of 17 when she was trafficked by his friend Epstein.
Ms Giuffre, née Roberts, caused concern when she shared a photograph of herself on Instagram eight-says-ago, showing her covered in bruises after a bus allegedly crashed into her car two weeks ago in Neergabby near Perth, Western Australia.

Her post said: ‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology. I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.’
Ms Giuffre added: ‘I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.’
But Lady Victoria insisted that Ms Giuffre’s story appeared to be fabricated as questions continued to be asked in Australia about the truth of what had happened to her.
She spoke out after commenting on Instagram: ‘It’s a little hard to believe anyone who cries wolf’, along with a message saying, ‘Lock her up!’, accompanied by the Duran Duran track Hungry Like The Wolf.
Lady Victoria told MailOnline that Ms Giuffre was a ‘fantasist’ who was faking or exaggerating the seriousness of her condition in order to ’emotionally blackmail’ her children who appear to be with her estranged husband.
She said: ‘I just thought the photo looked dodgy in the beginning. You don’t have earrings on like that and a necklace on if you are dying in hospital. You just don’t. You would have a gown on as well
‘There’s no puffiness in her face. It’s just like a few bruises. It definitely doesn’t look like a dying picture. If she really wanted to make it dramatic, there would have been tubes all over her, and the proper equipment around her, but there is none of that.’
She added: ‘The other interesting thing is that her husband seems to have custody of the kids. The kids are not little. They are like teenagers. When you are a teenager they are big enough to know.

Virginia Giuffre, 41, shared a photo of herself from her hospital bed on March 30 covered in bruises she had claims she sustained after her car was hit by a speeding school bus
In the post, Ms Giuffre claimed that she had ‘gone into renal kidney failure’ and that doctors told her she had ‘four days to live’ – although her brother Sky Roberts later clarified that that may have been the length of time specialists told her she would live if she hadn’t got treatment for her injuries
‘It’s an interesting fact. I just think that is very low for somebody like her to reach out to her children through Instagram and say something like that, especially if it is a lie just to get sympathy.’
Ms Giuffre is believed to have been discharged this afternoon from Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital in Perth, and left via a back door to avoid the large media pack waiting at the front.
She was said to have been admitted to the hospital at 3am last Tuesday for an unknown reason within hours of the story of her Instagram post on the previous Sunday making headlines around the world.
Local media in western Australia claimed that Ms Giuffre had a pre-existing kidney problem which had earlier required treatment.
Questions about the reliability of her claims deepened after the driver of the bus involved in the crash with her car exclusively told MailOnline that she was not in the vehicle when the accident happened.
Ross Munns said the crash had been ‘blown out of proportion’ and was only a minor collision which damaged the tail light of the car.
He claimed he was unable to avoid the impact happened when he was legally overtaking the car at around 75kph only for it to suddenly turn right without indicating in to Ms Giuffre’s farmstead property.
Mr Munns claimed he stopped and spoke to the 71-year-old woman driver after the crash and was convinced that nobody else was in the car.

Ms Giuffre found herself at the centre of one of the world’s biggest scandals when she launched legal action against billionaire Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 – Andrew later settled for an undisclosed sum but with no admission of liability

Ms Giuffre’s spokesperson also appeared to pull back from her comments by claiming that she meant to have posted the statement about her crash injuries on her private Facebook page instead of her public Instagram account
Further doubts about her story emerged when her brother Sky Roberts, clarified her ‘four days to live’ claim, saying only that she was told by doctors she would have died in that timeframe if she did not receive treatment.
It has also since emerged that Ms Giuffre has been living alone on her 40 acre farmstead since a ‘messy’ split from her husband Robert earlier this year.
She also appears to be estranged from her three children who are thought to be still living with their father at the family’s sprawling six bedroom home in Perth’s seaside suburb Ocean Reef.
The children are thought to have been at school this past week with no sign of them at her hospital during visiting hours. Giuffre’s eldest son is no longer ‘friends’ with his mum on social media.
It also emerged last week that she had been accused of breaching a family restraining order at the family home and is due to face Joondalup court on Wednesday this week. She’s yet to enter a plea.
Ms Giuffre broke her silence over the weekend to claim in an interview with People magazine that she was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of her estranged husband.
‘You don’t know the half of it,’ one neighbour told Daily Mail Australia. ‘I can’t really say anymore, but none of this surprises me.’
Lady Victoria said she received ‘a lot of abuse on social media for calling out Ms Giuffre (pictured here in 2019) but added: ‘I have no regrets about what I said, and I have been proved right. Her credibility is destroyed’

Lady Victoria added: ‘I knew from the start that the picture of her didn’t look right. The important thing is that nobody is believing her at all now.’
The aristocrat has in the past accused Ms Giuffre, 41, of having used an ‘Irish body double’ to fake the famous photo that appeared to show her as a teenager with Prince Andrew in Ghislaine Maxwell’s home in London.
She described Ms Giuffre as ‘the Queen of the fake photo after all’, and claimed that the FBI had now been given recordings of her admitting in a phone conversation with two other people that she had lied about having sex with Prince Andrew.
Lady Victoria told MailOnline said: ‘I don’t want to get into too much with the FBI. But basically they are on to her and we do have recordings which are now in the hands of the FBI. They are deeply incriminating for her and show that Prince Andrew is innocent.
‘We had to wait for Trump to win and for the new FBI to be sworn in to get the recordings into the right hands because the problem was under the last President, it was never going to happen
‘Under Biden we were never going to get the whole story and the right people behind bars.’
Asked if Prince Andrew would be ‘rubbing his hands in glee’, she added: ‘I don’t think he is that kind of person. I think he just wants his life back. I wouldn’t say he was a vengeful person, like quite possibly I could be. He just wants his life back.’
MailOnline has approached Virginia Giuffre’s representatives for comment.
