Prince Andrew's ex posts gloating comment over health of Virginia Giuffre, who accused royal of molesting her
An ex-girlfriend of Prince Andrew has mocked his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, after she claimed to have just days to live following a brutal car crash.
Giuffre, a victim of Jeffrey Epstein who made headlines around the world when she sued the British royal for sexual assault in 2021, posted on Instagram on Sunday that she had been given "four days to live" due to kidney failure following the wreck.
Prince Andrew has always denied those allegations and settled out of court with Giuffre in 2022 for an unknown amount of money.
On Monday morning, Victoria Hervey — a British aristocrat, model, cryptocurrency promoter, sometime Covid-19 conspiracy theorist, and Donald Trump fan who briefly dated Prince Andrew in 1999 — offered her thoughts on Instagram.
"KARMA," wrote the 48-year-old over Giuffre's hospital selfie, adding the mocking soundtrack of Europe's 1986 glam rock smash 'The Final Countdown'.
"If Virginia Giuffre really does have days to live, then a complete confession is needed. I don't believe it though. The FBI are on her right now and arrest warrants are incoming: she's conveniently dying to evade jail."
Hervey, who is the eldest child of the 6th Marquess of Bristol and the product of more than two centuries of aristocratic breeding, gave no evidence to support that claim — just as she offered none in 2022 when she accused Giuffre of using an "Irish body double" to fake a famous photo that appears to show Giuffre with Prince Andrew.
In Monday's post, she called Giuffre 'the queen of the fake photo' and again accused her of inventing her accusations, as well as her injuries. She claimed to have heard from 'reliable sources' that the FBI was preparing to arrest Giuffre, and that it was 'almost time to celebrate' her downfall.
Hervey has previously claimed that Epstein's web of sexual favors was 'not a trafficking operation', and that all his accusers were "fame-hungry drug addict prostitutes".
In her 2021 lawsuit, Giuffre alleged that Jeffrey Epstein had forced her to have sex with Prince Andrew, the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, on at least three occasions when she was 17 years old and he was 41.
Andrew has vehemently denied that, and claimed in 2019 to have "no recollection of ever meeting this lady".
Nevertheless, the scandal led to Andrew being stripped of his military roles and the title "His Royal Highness". He later said he regretted his association with Epstein, and that he would make a "substantial donation" to Giuffre's charity.

Is there a post credit scene in 28 Years Later?
The newest sequel in the 28 Days Later franchise hit theaters on Friday, with audiences heading to see what the rage virus had done to the United Kingdom in the nearly three decades since it began. The story picks up with Spike (Alfie Williams) and his dad (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) heading onto the mainland from the safety of their island refuge for a coming-of-age hunting trip. Warning: Spoilers for 28 Years Later follow! Eventually Spike and his mother Isla (the wonderful Jodie Comer) go on a search for a doctor (Ralph Fiennes) that can hopefully help her migraines and bouts of confusion. They, of course, run into a lot of trouble with hordes of infected and a particularly difficult Alpha (the more evolved and stronger infected). After finding Dr. Kelson, Spike has to come to grips with grief and death in a new way, and he decides to stay out on the mainland to learn more about himself. So, is there a post-credit scene in 28 Years Later? The short answer is no, you can leave when the credits start to roll. The longer answer is that there should have been one. Director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland ended the movie with a bizarre scene that involves track-suited, karate fighting killers in blond wigs, led by ringleader Jimmy Crystal (Jack O'Connell). It's a deep cut reference to disgraced British television host Jimmy Savile, but it's also a drastic tonal shift from the rest of the movie. The newest movie is actually the launching point for a hopeful new trilogy, starting with 28 Years Later and continuing with the January 2026 release of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. Since the final scene seems to be more of a lead-in to that follow up film, it would have been less of a vibe shift had it followed a wave of credits.

Guilty Plea Results from Drone Incident During Steelers-Ravens Wild Card Game
Guilty Plea Results from Drone Incident During Steelers-Ravens Wild Card Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers Wild Card matchup with the Baltimore Ravens was halted by the sighting of a drone over the stadium back in January. Advertisement Now, a 43-year-old man has entered a guilty plea and was sentenced to one year of probation, 100 hours of community service and a $500 fine. Per the Baltimore Banner, Alexis Perez Suarez is from Baltimore and was responsible for the drone and the delay of the playoff game. 'Public safety is a top priority, so we're committed to protecting our airways above mass gatherings. Suarez knew that M&T Bank Stadium was under a temporary flight restriction, yet he flew his drone into the airspace anyway, which is unacceptable,' Kelly O. Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, said. 'There is a zero-tolerance policy for operating Unmanned Aircraft Systems in No Drone Zones. The U.S. Attorney's Office, along with our partners, will hold those accountable who ignore the rules and regulations surrounding restricted airspace." The local FBI office was also involved in the investigation. Advertisement 'It is not just irresponsible and reckless, but illegal to fly a drone over a major sporting event such as a Ravens playoff game. Capturing a photo is not worth the risk of hurting any spectators, players, or employees. As shown by this investigation, the FBI and our partners will hold those caught violating the law fully accountable," Amanda M. Koldjeski, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) – Baltimore Field Office said. The danger of a drone over a crowded stadium was emphasized as well. 'Federal laws regulating the use of drones exist for a reason: to protect people and keep our skies safe,' Special Agent in Charge Greg Thompson of the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General said. 'Flying drones illegally— especially overcrowded sporting events — is reckless and dangerous. Today's guilty plea underscores our commitment to working with our partners to hold violators accountable and prevent potential disasters.'

Minnesota suspect gave wife 'bailout plan,' according to affidavit
June 21 (UPI) -- The Minnesota man facing federal and state charges in the shootings of two state legislators and their spouses one week ago gave his wife a "bailout plan" to be used, according to unsealed court documents. Vance Boelter, 57, is in federal custody in the deaths of one couple and injuries of two others in separate incidents on June 14. Jenny Boetler told the investigators they were "preppers," meaning they should "prepare for major or catastrophic events" by stockpiling materials, according to an affidavit filed by an FBI agent and obtained by WCCO-TV and KARE-TV. Boelter told his wife to go to her mother's home in southwestern Wisconsin, the investigator said. After the shootings were reported, law enforcement pulled over Boelter's wife and four children while leaving their home near Lake Mille Lacs. She said they were visiting friends northwest of the metro area. She consented to a search of their car where investigators found two handguns, passports and about $10,000 in cash, according to the affidavit. Her husband posted in a family group text "they needed to get out of the house and people with guns may be showing up." "Dad went to war last night ... I don't wanna say more because I don't wanna implicate anybody," one text from Boelter to members of his family read, according to a federal complaint. Boelter's wife apparently didn't know about her husband's alleged plans to attack the lawmakers, and she has not been charged with any crime. Initially, the family members were in custody for possible deportation but a judge had them released. At roughly 9 a.m., after the shootings, Boelter visited a bank in Robbinsdale and withdrew all $2,200, according to the affidavit. Another person drove Boelter from the bank. "Witness 1" also sold Boelter an electric bike and Buick sedan, which was found during the 43-hour manhunt. Investigators discovered empty rifle cases, gun-cleaning supplies and a bike in a rented storage unit, according to the warrant. Investigators discovered "voluminous writings" in Boelter's home and car, acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said. The notebooks contained the names of more than 45 Minnesota state and federal public officials, "mostly or all Democrats," according to the complaint. Boelter faces six federal charges -- two counts each for murder, stalking and firearms offenses in district court in St. Paul. The Justice Department could make it a death sentence case. Minnesota doesn't have the death penalty. The state charges are two counts of murder in the second degree and attempted murder in the second degree in Hennepin County in Minneapolis. He is being held on $5 million should federal authorities relinquish custody. State Rep. Melissa Hortman, 55, and her husband, Mark, died at their home. They live about 5 miles from a husband and wife who also were shot. Yvette Hoffman, who was shot eight times, was released from the hospital Thursday night while John, a state senator, suffered nine gunshot wounds and is in serious but stable condition.
