A woman who accused Prince Andrew of sexual assault says she has four days to live after a car accident.

In a post on Instagram, Virginia Guiffre said she was in a car that was hit by a school bus "driving 110km [68.3mph] as we were slowing for a turn".

Ms Giuffre then said: "I've gone into kidney renal failure, they've given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

...

A spokesperson for Ms Giuffre told Sky's US partner network in a statement: "Virginia has been in a serious accident and is receiving medical care in the hospital.

"She greatly appreciates the support and well wishes people are sending."

She sued the Duke of York for sexual abuse in August 2021, saying Andrew had sex with her when she was 17 and had been trafficked by his friend, the billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Awful story. Poor woman

I officially take back all the mean things I've said about the noble Prince Andrew and our, beyond reproach, Royal Family. And I definitely won't be posting to !abolishthemonarchy@feddit.uk again. In fact I never have, my account was hacked.

Was that OK? Did I say enough? "You'll let me know?" That's hardly reassuring.

I wanted to say thank you sincerely for instantiating President for life Field Marshal Lord Starmer.

Fucking hell, that's distressing. What a horrible thing to happen.

Four days? The Royal Family used to be much more efficient at using car crashes to get rid of problems…

To be fair to them, this was the Duke of Edinburgh's (steering) wheelhouse and we have to cut whoever has taken over the job some slack, as he made accidenting look easier than it actually is.

Fediverse version: "I'm dying... let me just make a quick Pixelfed post about it."
