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?

Here's a solid article about the case from earlier this year.- https://web.archive.org/web/20250115142023/https://www.thecut.com/article/kendra-licari-daughter-cyberbully-mommy-meanest-true-story.html

One theory from the article is that part of the motive was to create a crisis within the family to distract from her financial disaster. 

Clearly though Kendra had multiple bizarre self-serving reasons to do this that baffle the rest of us.

Why do they call her Ashley in this article?

Pseudonym. They state that somewhere within the article.
