Lady Victoria stands in defence of sexual abusers
‘Lady’ Victoria Hervey — ex-partner to disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor — went on LBC to smear the late Virginia Giuffre, who serial child-rapist Jeffrey Epstein abused for years before she lost her life to suicide in 2025.
Unrepentant
Giuffre dedicated her life campaigning against sexual abuse. Despite that, Windsor, notwithstanding his position in the royal family, denied having had a relationship or contact with Giuffre. The release of the ‘Epstein files’ revealed the disgraced ex-royal to be the dishonest party. He did know her and the infamous image of them was not doctored as claimed.
Hervey’s interview charade mirrors Andrew’s unrepentant mindset. Hervey, dismisses these events as a storm-in-a-teacup of lies that were ‘unravelling.’
It gets worse, with Hervey claiming that:
just before [Virginia] passed away her lies were unravelling. Like, finally people were kind of realizing ‘okay, this girl is making up stories,’ and then she conveniently dies.
Challenged on who Giuffre’s death was convenient for, she said it was:
Convenient for her.
This is not her first defence of Andrew. But tolerance for anyone cheering for rapists or excusing statutory rape is wearing thin — even the insufferable Piers Morgan shut down Hervey in a recent interview, describing her theories as as “utter s***”.
It should be astounding, but isn’t, given the context of the contempt shown for Epstein’s countless victims by their abusers. Nor given the establishment’s ongoing contempt now for their lives, reputations and the justice they deserve. Nor indeed Hervey’s own history of responding to Giuffre’s death with “lies catch up with you”.
But Hervey wasn’t finished. She also wanted to pour scorn on the horror decent humanity feels at the string of revelations of the rich and powerful and their sick crimes. According to Hervey, being in the files isn’t shameful. Not being in the files is — it means you’re “a bit of a loser”:
To be honest, if you’re not in those files it would be an insult, because it just means that you were a bit of a loser.
And Hervey just doubled down when she was challenged. In an interview shortly after her vile comments, she told Piers Morgan subsequently that she meant anyone “in the upper echelons of society” would be in Epstein’s files:
More questions than answers
Certainly, there are a handful of people in the files who aren’t tainted by their appearance in the Epstein files. Anti-Zionist academic Norman Finkelstein came out shining, after the files showed him telling an academic who defended Epstein that Epstein and his lawyer Alan Dershowitz should be strangled.
But not the disgraced Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Not the string of sick billionaires and politicians who participated in Epstein’s crimes. And perhaps not Hervey either. She appears some thirty times in the latest Epstein release — and not in a ‘passing mention’ way either. None of it is proof of wrongdoing. None of it is incidental, either. All of it raises questions.
For example, in a frantic email to Giuffre’s lawyer David Boies last year, a redacted whistleblower correspondent accused an “OUT OF CONTROL” Hervey of running a ” serious gang of coordinated stalkers” to doxx and pursue them:
Or, in another example, seemingly from the same person:
Ward celebrated with HERVEY and KRAUS the night [redacted]’s death. They will not be satisfied until I am dead as well.
I have already served HERVEY and need to serve KRAUS. HERVEY uses the felon on parole, George B Tonks, to harass me full time since she no longer legally can. I had to hire a barrister in UK to serve Lady Victoria HERVEY, and did so [because] of the way [redacted] was being pummeled publicly by this gang. The guy was on parole as a convicted federal felon and I’m a federal whistleblower, so they did nothing. Vanity Fair gave a felon in prison my phone number and said felon NEVER STOPPED THREATENING AND HARASSING. The NYPD, Chicago PD, and FBI have failed us all and now I have been so beaten down the last five years without an ounce of support aside from fellow victims…
…HERVEY speaks to Maxwell in prison. Why is any of this harassment of witnesses legal and always overlooked?
One file includes an email with a redacted sender and no mention of the recipient’s identity:
You use ppl with no support systems and make them carry the weight of unimaginable power and retribution! I begged you and SIGRID YEARS to protect NM/me from LADY VICTORIA HERVEY, as you gaslighted having never heard of the royal stalkers! Fergie and Maxwell are behind all of the suffering. LAW ENFORCEMENT IS
NOT HERE FOR VICTIMS. They arc here for elites.
Another Epstein file shows Hervey being accused publicly of being an “MI6 honeypot operative” close to Trump’s FBI director Kash Patel. The image used shows a redacted Hervey with Patel, wearing a ‘MAGA’ cap. Patel is accused by senior US congresspeople of trying to cover up Trump’s involvement with Epstein.
Finger-pointing
Another DOJ file shows a chat between an unnamed sender and “Lisa Probation for Stalker”, accusing Hervey of participating in illegally-obtained medical information:
Another file:
[Redacted] needs to be restrained legally and once again, I wasn’t given enough compensation to even cover my
upcoming surgeries. I had to serve HERVEY in the UK, PREDMORE, etc…how am I to survive? BEDWARDS, you did ALL OF THIS to my tiny private life.
Another, to lawyer Ariel Mitchell, accused Hervey and others of working with the Trump administration, Ghislaine Maxwell’s family and the royal to destroy the sender:
Ariel,
He’s a felon on parole who was just released in NYC from his ankle monitor. His probation officer had promised
he would not go free, yet LV HERVEY used her “influence”, as they continue to try to kill me with threats/harassment/lies/smears/releasing my home address, sharing my ss#, sharing my [redacted] trauma journal!They work in tandem with this current administration/Maxwell/Royal family.
Another, an email to Boies and others:
They gang stalk and HERVEY/Kraus have eyes set on attacking [musician P] Diddy victims next. FBI JUST WATCHES AS WE ARE EATEN ALIVE! Six full years.
Another, from a UK citizen to an unnamed Met Police detective, describes Hervey as “besotted” with Epstein’s enabler and fellow trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, and demands a ‘restraining order’ against her:
I would like it noted that LVH [Hervey] has many friends as politicians as per her Daily Mail interview.
Again I want a restraining order filed against her. She is NOT a journalist but someone whom is besotted with Maxwell a convicted pedophile charged with sex trafficking who participated in my OWN TRAFFICKING AND HER OWN EGO!!!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14511171/Samantha-Landry-Victoria-Secret-excitement-Trump-MAGA-influencer.html
I WANT ALL HER LETTERS TO MAXWELL CONFISCATED AND USED AS EVIDENCE. ALSO ALL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN YOURSELF LUCIA AND LVH MUST BE SENT TO DC [redacted] INCLUDING ALL OF [redacted] EVIDENCE YOU STOLE!!
AGAIN MAY I REMIND YOU ALL THAT THIS IS AN INTERNATIONAL SEX TRAFFICKING RING!!!!
I also have have photos of Ghislaine with myself and others in Epstein Island.
See [redacted] email below. I expect you will also contact her because I want every single communication she had with Lucia Osbom and Lady Victoria Hervey!
An implicated Daily Mail
Another, heavily redacted file includes an email sent to Daily Mail owner Jonathan Harmsworth, Viscount Rothermere. The email, apparently sent by a trafficked Epstein victim, informs Harmsworth that s/he is adding him to the witness list in “litigation and investigations into Epstein and Co”, specifically, among other issues, because Hervey writes for his publication:
Jonathan Harmsworth,
I will be adding you to my witness list in the ongoing litigation and investigations into Epstein and Co where you personally will be held accountable for aiding and abetting Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, victim-blaming and discrediting Epstein’s victims to aid further those who committed and are committing heinous crimes of rape and sex trafficking accountable.
Seeming as Daniel Bates, Callahan, Lucia Osborne, Victoria Hervey, Alan Dershowitz, and Boris Johnson are enthusiastic journalists of your or in other z class stations, you to will be investigated along with Rupert Murdoch and The New York Post. Because of Callahan, I had to go into isolation and hiding for two years, and you all
put my life in danger when Epstein located me in Barcelona.It was Sharon Churcher, a Daily Mail journalist who went down to see with a photographer and took her and her husband to the FBI in Sydney. It was the Daily Mail that Published the photo of Prince Andrew.
Over the years, how many millions/ billions have you made plugging the Prince Andrew story? I even made complaints directly to the Daily Mail many, many times at the unfair constant plugging of only one male being held accountable in an entire sex trafficking ring. Why has not one journalist held another man in the Epstein ring accountable?? NOT ONE???
Again, none of these appearances are proof of wrongdoing. But they certainly raise questions about Hervey’s evident contempt for rape victims and survivors, including Giuffre.
