[5]​ Mediante la ayuda, posiblemente, del hermano de su supuesto padre, Jeanne consiguió un empleo como dama de compañía de una viuda anciana, Madame de la Garde, si bien fue despedida cuando su juventud y belleza empezaron a enturbiar los asuntos matrimoniales de los dos hijos de de la Garde. Cuando el Tribunal Revolucionario de París la acusó de traición y la condenó a muerte, du Barry intentó, en vano, salvar su vida revelando los lugares en que se hallaban ocultas varias gemas de su propiedad (parte de sus joyas habían sido robadas en 1791, por lo que Jeanne había tomado la precaución de esconder las que le quedaban). The Comtesse de Noailles informed Marie Antoinette that the role of that woman was to give pleasure to the king, and the innocent 14-year-old archduchess added that she would thus be her rival at such a role. Very few if any of the nobility at court deigned to become acquainted with her, for none could accept the fact that a woman of the street had the audacity to mingle with those above her station and thrive in trying to become like them.
