Whoa this is kind of a big deal:
This was back at the beginning of April no less.
For those who don't know kidney failure is fucking awful. I'm not going to say how it compares to cancer but it's a way I hope I don't someday go.
Good catch. I didn't read this article (it was just the first I found), but I didn't remember that from when it originally broke.
Edit: also weird that it is not mentioned in this article on her suicide. Probably just shitty journalism.
It's a very weird case. ABC Australia had an article on her hospital stay as it was ongoing which raised some questions without definitively answering them.
While Giuffre had posted about going into kidney failure, ABC reported:
Giuffre was later discharged from hospital after treatment. Reading between the lines, it seems that she wasn't going into kidney failure when she posted to Instagram about it.
Whether that means she was incorrectly informed that she was dying, or was confused due to sedation, or was suffering from poor mental health, etc. is not reported.
If she has now committed suicide, that would seem to make it more likely that mental health had a role in the initial post about her physical health.
In addition to any ongoing trauma relating to her abuse at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew, Giuffre no doubt had additional strain due to her recent separation from her husband and estrangement from their three teenage children.
