While discussing the Epstein files in the latest video titled Where's the LIST?! Epstein's Victims Deserve to Know WHO Bought Them! King questioned the media's silence on Virginia Giuffre's death.

"Did you know Virginia Giuffre allegedly just self-deleted? Yes, she's now dead if you don't know... You don't even hear the media talk about it. No one's got asking any questions. There's a code of silence. And if you say anything, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist... And now that we know that she has died and the media barely even looked at it, if they even reported about it, I actually had to see it on social media," Melanie said.

In March, Virginia was hit by a bus, about which she shared a post on her Instagram handle and said doctors gave her "four days to live." Officially, there no connection was established between her suicide and this accident.

King brought up this incident in her discussion.

"Before she died, she was also hit by a bus randomly and almost died from that. And then, boom, later she suddenly decided to delete herself. Right when we're asking more questions about Epstein. Right when the files are supposed to be released but haven't, she dies in the middle of that," she added.
