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?

Anyone catch Khloes parents at the end? The mom said something about how “Lauryn and Shawn are gonna get away with it and play the victim”…is she insinuating they were involved, that kinda pissed me off.

I think that circles back to Khloe’s theory (which will have come from her parents) that Lauryn was doing it to herself for attention in the first batch of texts.

They never got to the bottom of who sent the first round in the documentary, just that Lauryn’s mum picked it up and ran with it. I don’t know if they found out who sent the first lot and just didn’t include it in the doc?

Edit. To be clear, I don’t think Lauryn did it. I think her mum did the whole lot. But if Khloe’s family’s theory is that Lauryn did some of it, that would explain why they were so harsh about her. They generally didn’t seem like a great family. Khloe was clearly a bully.

The police/fbi said in the doc that the evidence shows all messages came from Lauryn’s mum

Ah thanks, I assumed that was the case but clearly missed it!

I think it's very likely Lauryn did it. Many things point in that direction too.

I'd be curious to see how they react after seeing the documentary though. They are defending their daughter so I'm sure most people would shit talk just as an off the cuff reaction, doesn't necessarily mean it's true. I don't see what lauryn could have gotten out of this in any way, especially in such a small town

Yah I didn’t like how they went over that so fast and how she said it like it was just some town gossip

Maybe they know more details of the case that weren't in the documentary

Yeah, that was effed. Also how mad they were that their daughter 'lost out on a year' due to accusations, as if they wouldn't have done the same as parents under the same circumstances. They'd probably have flung even more accusations left and right considering how easily they think Lauryn and Shawn were in on it.
