Discussion Unknown Number High-school Catfish Spoiler

What the hell did I just watch? And what the hell was this person thinking?

I'm in shock that someone would do such a thing to their own child. And that she doesn't seem to have any focus on what she actually did.

The daughter didn't seem to grasp what her mother did when they told her but the father acted on it right away.

Was she totally jealous of her own daughter?

How about the horrible language this excuse for a mom was texting kids? Creamy? Gross! And why did the producers not even ask “ok, so where and who started the first messages if it wasn’t you?” I would have been grilling her. In the kitchen when the daughter finds out it was her mom, she just sat there and held her hand. That whole thing when they found out was weird. Telling your daughter she has a flat ass, is ugly, and should kill herself, wow! The daughter quit sports and everything because of the messages. And then just sat home and it was the mom the whole time! I didn’t understand the whole thing with saying to get Owen and people a new phone. That wasn’t going to change anything. You can just get a new number but the creep would get the new number/phone info anyways. This blew my mind with how crazy it all was but made me angry.

Clearly Kendra was not going to change her mind about "someone else starting it" the producers either knew that or had asked and it didn't end up in the documentary. Also the mom would have been the one to change her phone number and didn't because.... obviously she would know the new one so why even persue that as an option. ETA I also read that Kendra was not up for being interviewed so the producers- I'd assume- had to tread lightly to get the footage.

Exactly, she’s a lying narcissist. There’s no point grilling her.
