Don’t You Know Who She Was - Jeffrey Epstein’s Women and Girls
An investigative true crime podcast by journalist Lisa Tait examining Virginia Giuffre, Jeffrey Epstein, survivor advocacy, and Australia’s role in the final chapter of her life.
This podcast also discusses the women who were at the heart of Epstein’s sex trafficking machine: Lesley Groff, his assistant of 20years, Sarah Kellen the former NASCAR wife and the convicted sex trafficker, Ghislaine Maxwell.
Because while Virginia Giuffre survived Jeffrey Epstein, she couldn’t survive Australia.
This podcast investigates the hidden and devastating final chapter of her life, examining the domestic violence allegations, possible court failures, and the systems that failed a globally-recognised survivor when she needed protection.
Over the years, Virginia Giuffre survived her childhood, Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and their high-profile friends. She survived trafficking, exploitation, public disbelief, and years of legal battles against some of the most powerful people in the world.
She became a global symbol of survival — an advocate, a mother, a woman who refused to be silenced.
How does someone survive Epstein — and still lose everything?

Who is Virginia Giuffre and what is she known for?
This is not a book that devastates because of famous names. It devastates because of Virginia Giuffre’s clear-eyed courage in telling the truth about a life shaped by early vulnerability, exploitation, and repeated systemic failure.
In her own words, Giuffre recounts a troubled childhood, the grooming and abuse that followed, and the long personal cost of surviving Jeffrey Epstein — including what it took to speak out publicly and live with the consequences. The writing is unflinching, precise, and impossible to forget. Not sensational. Not performative. Just brutally honest.
Tragically, Virginia Giuffre died in April this year at the age of 41, and will never see the public response to her memoir. Nobody’s Girl now stands as both testimony and warning — a record of how children are failed long before the world is ready to listen, and how survivors are too often abandoned once they do speak.
I knew Virginia briefly. She loved her three children fiercely and spent her adult life trying to protect other children from suffering what she did. My hope is that one day her kids will read this book and know how hard their mother fought — and how deeply she loved them.
Nobody’s Girl' stands out as a survivor’s memoir defined by her unwavering honesty and resilience. Tune in as we discuss the courage it takes to share such a story, the institutional failures exposed, and why this memoir is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the realities of survival and hope
Who is Virginia Giuffre and what is she known for?
This episode is about survival, truth-telling, and what happens when a survivor is failed after the world has finished listening.
Virginia — I’m so proud of you. I just wish you were here to see how powerfully your words have landed.
