One of Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-girlfriends is suing Virginia Roberts Giuffre for more than $10 million for publicly naming her as a recruiter — insisting she has now realized she was also a victim of the pedophile “and his gang.”
Jersey City-based artist Rina Oh, 42, filed a defamation lawsuit in Manhattan federal court over a series of tweets in which Giuffre called her a “virus on humanity” who “procured & partook in the abuse of minors” with Epstein and his madam, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The October 2020 tweetstorm was sparked by a podcast interview in which Oh admitted bringing at least three women to Epstein, whom she described as having been her “older, rich boyfriend” in the early 2000s.
Oh also admitted to taking a then-teenage Giuffre “shopping for a little schoolgirl outfit” to please the perv — justifying the East Village trip because “17 to me is not a child.”
Oh’s lawsuit, filed in October, quotes seven tweets Giuffre sent referring to the “Broken: Seeking Justice”
podcast — and directly accusing Oh of being “a co-conspirator for” Epstein and Maxwell.
“Rina — if you read this I hope you live in shame for the rest of your life,” she wrote in one message included in the court docs. “You don’t intimidate me any longer & the physical & mental [scars] you left me with should be enough to put your a– in jail,” she added, along with a #LockHerUp hashtag.
She called Oh’s podcast interview “pathetic excuses from a deranged woman who was NO victim & should be sitting in jail next to #GhislaineMaxwell.”
“Rina — woman to woman, now that I am a woman, U disgust me,” Giuffre tweeted, calling her “an oxygen thief” and “a virus on humanity.”
She also said she was “beyond sickened” to learn that Oh later married Vincent Amen, a former Michael Jackson employee who was named as one of five unindicted co-conspirators in the late star’s molestation trial, branding them “2 sick peas in a pod.“
Oh’s lawsuit seeks “in excess” of $10 million for the tweets, which it says were posted with “malicious disregard for the truth” and “will live in the internet forever, forever causing [Oh] injury.”
Instead, Giuffre “knew or should have known that” Oh — who was 21 at the time — “was being used, abused, exploited and manipulated by Epstein and his inner circle” just as her accuser “claims purportedly happened to her,” the lawsuit alleges.
“Plaintiff did not do the things that Defendant accuses her in these Tweets,” her lawsuit insists.
“Plaintiff is and always was a victim and not a co-conspirator of Epstein and his gang.”
Giuffre — who is currently suing Prince Andrew for allegedly having sex with her three times — does not appear to have responded to the lawsuit.
In an interview with the Sun, Oh claimed that at 21, she was “so young I didn’t realize it was sexual abuse” when she thought she’d been dating the multimillionaire pervert.
She claimed Epstein had been “shopping her around” to other men at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
“It was Ghislaine and Jeffrey together. It was like I was being groomed to be someone else’s mistress,” she told the Sun.
“It felt like they were soliciting me. That’s when I started realizing that something was awfully wrong. Up until then, I was very naïve,” she claimed.
