About this episode
What hidden networks of elite abusers does Virginia Giuffre's memoir expose, and why are they still walking free today? On this episode of The Tara Palmeri Show, Tara joins Erin Burnett on CNN's OutFront to unpack Nobody's Girl—Giuffre's unflinching account of enduring Jeffrey Epstein's sadistic chains, blackout-inducing torture, and assaults by a prime minister who choked her unconscious while Epstein dismissed her pleas. Drawing from their 2020 road trip chasing Epstein's enablers to corroborate her claims—detailed in Tara's investigative series The Girl Who Knocked on Every Door (https://www.tarapalmeri.com/p/the-girl-who-knocked-on-every-door) Tara recounts Giuffre's visceral recoil at the Lolita Express, reliving mid-air horrors no one stopped. With Vanity Fair's Clare Howarth, who secured the exclusive excerpt, they expose Ghislaine Maxwell's recruitment of vulnerable teens into Epstein's nude-art-lined Palm Beach mansion for immediate abuse, plus the web of financiers and bystanders enabling it all. As Maxwell receives unexplained DOJ perks in minimum security after her Trump-era meeting, and barriers from the Trump DOJ and Speaker Mike Johnson block full Epstein file releases, Giuffre's story overturns victim-blaming from tabloids and Dershowitz, calling for justice for her, Prince Andrew's accusers, and dozens more in the shadows. What details from Giuffre's story demand the immediate unsealing of the Epstein files?
