Publisher agrees to changes in Virginia Giuffre's memoir after family objections
Knopf worked with Giuffre's family to revise her memoir, addressing concerns over the portrayal of her late husband's marriage before finalizing the edition for print.
- Last month, Alfred A. Knopf agreed on a final draft with family members and will publish Virginia Giuffre's Nobody Girl on Oct. 21, sending the final edition to printers with a new foreword.
- Because relatives argued the memoir would weaken her credibility, Giuffre family members said Nobody's Girl presents her marriage to Robert Giuffre as healing and will undermine Virginia's credibility; Giuffre signed a seven-figure deal with Penguin Press, Knopf spokesman Todd Doughty said recently.
- Jordan Pavlin said the publisher worked with Virginia's brothers and their wives to contextualize the memoir, while at a Capitol Hill news conference family members joined survivors and Sky Roberts said `No leniency, no deals, no special treatment`.
- Knopf said the final edition includes a foreword outlining changes in Virginia Giuffre's life since completion and has been sent to the printers, affirming her voice offers hope to abuse victims.
- The broader case involves Jeffrey Epstein and associates; Virginia Giuffre alleges exploitation within Epstein's sex-trafficking ring, and Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted on related charges.
