Virginia Giuffre's Instagram post 

On Sunday, March 30, Virginia Giuffre shared a distressing selfie from her hospital bed on Instagram, showing severe bruising on her face and upper body.

In the post, she revealed she was suffering from kidney failure following the crash and claimed doctors had given her only four days to live.

The Instagram post began, "This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details. But 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."

She stated, "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, but you know what the say about wished. S**T in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it's still going to be s**t at the end of the day," Giuffre added. 

She ended the message with a note of gratitude, saying, "Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia."

The post prompted an outpouring of concern, and Brad Edwards, a US lawyer who has represented Giuffre in previous legal matters, described the situation as "very bad."

He expressed hope for better news in the coming days, hoping that she would recover with the proper medical care.

Additionally, Giuffre’s spokesperson, Dini von Mueffling, issued a statement saying, "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."
