Parents of children who were on the bus that hit Virginia Giuffre's car have opened up - and said their kids brushed off the 'small crash' the minute they got home from school.
The smash, which she said left her fighting for her life, happened in Neergabby, Australia last week. The families say it was minor - unlike what they have dubbed 'sick' claims by Ms Giuffre.
On Sunday night the 41-year-old posted a disturbing picture to her public Instagram showing her in a hospital bed covered in bruises as she claimed the bus had struck the car at 110km/h (68mph), and doctors gave her 'four days to live'.
However, the severity of the crash came into question in the days that followed as clashing stories came in from police, the bus driver and even her own family.
Ms Giuffre's family claimed the post was a mistake - as she thought she was posting to her private Facebook account.
Confusion grew when it was discovered the Jeffrey Epstein victim - who also claimed to have been sexually abused by Prince Andrew when she was a teenager - had been charged with breaching a family violence restraining order just days before the crash.
Now, parents of the children involved have upheld the driver Ross Munns's claim that the collision was minor, with the bus driving at a lower speed which could not have caused the bruising to Ms Giuffre’s face.
Mother Emmie-Rose Wright said her three children - aged five, eight and nine - relayed the crash only caused slight damage to the rear break light of the Toyota Highlander Ms Giuffre was in the passenger seat of.

She said her children got off the bus after a 'small crash' and there was 'no damage to the bus' and none of the children were injured.
Ms Wright added that the 29 children aboard the bus were not 'distraught' as Ms Giuffre's family had claimed.
'They weren’t worried or traumatised at all… they thought that she had stopped in front of them unnecessarily,' she said.
She went on to describe Mr Munns as an 'upstanding member of the community' who she 'wholeheartedly' believes would not speed or leave an injured woman alone without calling for an ambulance.
Ms Wright and another parent, Hayley Miller, told The Telegraph the school bus was intact when their children got off around 15 minutes after the crash happened.
Ms Miller said she was 'disgusted' at Ms Giuffre's Instagram post showing her 'battered and bruised' with unfounded claims against Mr Munns.
