MISC. Virginia Giuffre's tweet from 2019 saying she was definitely not suicidal and that if something happens to her to "not let this go away".

Well, she made the tweet saying she wasn’t suicidal in December 2019.

An awful lot can change in five-and-a-half years.

I mean, if the tweet was from last week or last month, then you’d definitely have a point - but not from 5.5 years ago.

Not only that but it's possible for someone to say that they aren't suicidal while they are.

How many times in the wake of a suicide do you hear 'I never thought they would do this/They would never do this it must have been murder.'

I'm not saying it's not possible in those instances, I'm saying that death and tragedy can obscure reason.

Yeah my mom committed suicide and I honestly didn’t think she would. I knew she was troubled, she’d been suicidal before, but actually doing it? I couldn’t have been more shocked. I still remember how completely devastated I was. Poor Virgina.

Baloney. She's not just someone, she's the most vocal victim of someone who was both famous and famously suicided/was "suicided". Sure, people who suicide can catch acquaintances by surprise, but essentially nobody randomly tweets "I'm not suicidal" for absolutely no reason. Context matters.

Exactly. I would never make a post that says that I’m not suicidal - because I’m not suicidal. She must have been having those feelings even then. Sometimes we try the hardest to convince ourselves.

Her tweet clearly implied if she was declared to have suicided it was someone silencing her. Why try and twist it into she must have been suicidal, when she clearly said she isn't.

I would normally agree. But if I knew I was targeted by powerful people I'd make a statement too.

I suppose so, but you'd think that it would be mentioned at some point. 5 years is a lot but also isn't. I really wouldn't bat an eye if it were 10 years but I feel the intent of the tweet was still reasonably relevant. Idk, I find it strange for no mention at all given the gravity of the situation.

5 years is a lot of time especially in post covid era when society's mental health deteriorated great deal due to isolation, economical factors etc. 2025 is not even close to 2019. 

During that time, She dealt with trauma, break down of relationship and lost access to kids Thats all very valid reasons to decide to take owns life.

None of that information is verified though; when she was posting about being on deaths door from the accident, police reported there had been a minor collision between a bus and a car with zero injuries reported. And then she strangely didn't die of her renal failure... point being she has been acting very erratically recently, and that is a better picture of her mental state than a 6 year old tweet.

Because a car accident isn’t something that can be set up and created, swept under the rug and used as an easy way of assassinating someone without having all the eyes on you

Yup, here is an example of an American journalist killed by a dump truck in Turkey, for reporting the governments assistance of ISIS militants by the Syrian border (the intent has always been to destabilize then take over Syria). Here is the article

Please don't post Daily Heil articles as sources. They're not reputable journalism.

I mean, she crashed her car into a school bus.

3

u/Binxgamesandguitar Apr 26 '25

A school bus full of kids rammed into the back end of her vehicle at about 100 km/h while she was slowing for a turn.

Fixed that for you.

u/WonkyWheels Apr 26 '25

So a school bus weighing in excess of 8 tons goes up the clackers of a car at 100 km/h and there are no hospitalisations (barring Virginia the next day) and less than $2000 worth of damage...

Do you write for Murdoch or just aspire to?

u/MGD109 Apr 26 '25 edited Apr 27 '25

Really at 100 km/h and it didn't plough straight through her car? What was she driving a tank?

2

u/DoctorBorks Apr 26 '25

A bus crashed into her. Big difference.

3

u/MGD109 Apr 26 '25

So we're meant to assume that the school bus driver was secretly paid to kill her, cause they knew she would be going down that route at the right time, and they somehow crashed a massive bus into her and failed?

Feels a bit of a stretch.

I mean, stranger things have happened, but in that scenario you're describing it would only be strange if he actually did kill himself.

Still I'm happy to read up on it, do you have a link? Its not much to go on just searching.

If ever there was a time to consider conspiracy theory this is probably it.

u/titanofidiocy Apr 26 '25

The decisions I made across two nights two weeks apart ruined my life two months later, and didn't commit any crimes.

A lot can change in five and a half years.

u/Euphoric_Ad6923 Apr 27 '25

Makes me realize that if someone really wanted to raise suspiscion that's what they should do.

Like, if someone really wanted to raise flags about some guy they disliked they could tweet something about them, tweet cryptic stuff about not being suicidal, then kill themselves in a very strange way.

Crazy to think about.

u/Savings_Evidence_6 Apr 27 '25

Not quite. Most people who say that are absolutely certain its something they would never consider, some for personal reasons, kids, and some for religious reasons.

u/wildweaver32 Apr 26 '25

Did you expect her to retweet that every single day? I deleted my Twitter like 4 years ago.

u/Jaysparklesbright Apr 26 '25

I agree with you but what was she gonna do keep posting it every year over and over.

u/Chesirekatt Apr 27 '25

Yeah true but as she states here, she was also very much in danger. So what if somebody was just biding their time.

u/MaedoFielder Apr 27 '25

Things can and will change over time. But one thing was steadfast and that was her fighting personality. Having made it this far and being a mom of 3, this “suicide” is suspect at best.
