‘Prison Karen’ Ghislaine Maxwell accused a female guard of sexual abuse for confronting the disgraced socialite over her lax personal hygiene, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

The officer pulled Maxwell, 61, aside after fellow inmates complained that she wasn’t showering after coming off the outdoor running track at Florida‘s FCI Tallahassee.

The dressing down is said to have involved coarse language and the term ‘hooha’ – slang for an intimate female body part – leaving the Oxford-educated prisoner aghast.

‘The officer never touched her. It was just a conversation about cleanliness and the need to shower more frequently. But the officer has a mouth like Cardi B and was completely tactless about it,’ an insider told DailyMail.com.

‘Max insists that it was a personal matter and the officer had no right to bring it up. She reported the encounter because she claims it left her feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed.

‘She might seem a little easily shocked for a convicted sex trafficker – but that’s Max. She doesn’t see herself that way, she acts and talks as if she’s innocent.’

Our source explained it’s common for sex offenders to avoid showering behind bars because the stalls are the likeliest place to get ambushed with a homemade blade or a soap wrapped in a sock.

A spokesman for Maxwell did not respond to an inquiry about the alleged abuse, which was investigated for three weeks last October before jail authorities closed their probe.

It’s just one of a dozen or more misconduct allegations Maxwell has leveled at staff at the low-security federal lockup where she’s serving 20 years for being Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice.

Records obtained by DailyMail.com reveal Maxwell has accused workers of harassment, unprofessional behavior and discrimination under the 14th Amendment and freedom of religion laws.

She’s also peppered jail authorities with complaints about the food, a lack of hot water, being denied access to a computer and having her mail tampered with.

In all, Maxwell’s gripes span nine pages of ‘administrative remedy’ records which were obtained from the Federal Bureau of Prisons under the Freedom of Information Act.

The British-born felon has lodged further grievances about ‘improper or inadequate’ dental and medical treatment for eye problems and a rash.

A December 2022 entry notes that Maxwell says she has not been able to see an ob-gyn and needs an ultrasound examination.

The records also reveal that Maxwell has already filed for compassionate release on two occasions – despite having 19 years left to serve.
