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?

I actually had to skip through endra talking cause it was nauseating. I do think including her speaking while overlaying the text messages though kind of shows how manipulative she is... so like totally agree she doesn't deserve a platform, but also i think they were showing how easily she started spouting those crocodile tears and saying all "the right things". it was fucking disgusting to realize it was her, my money was on the principal the whole time and I was pissed I was wrong for the sake of Lauryn. Like jesus how do you get over that.

I was convinced that someone had hacked Lauryn's or Owen's phone, had access to their mic and phone content, and were aware of conversations because they were listening in that way. No way in hell did I suspect any of the parents.

I got spoiled and knew it was a parent so I was trying to guess which one and was still totally shocked. I was thinking it was Adrianna (? the cousin)’s mom trying to frame the dark haired girl (Chloe?) for being mean to her daughter or something. I was so so shocked!

Juat finished this as well. Im disgusted! Telling your daughter to inflict harm on herself, all the sexual things she said. This should be prison time. Absolute monster! Just needed to rant for a second. So much more to say but ugggh

Honestly the sexual nature alone from her to her own child should carry its own charge

u/Lcky22 1d ago

It’s crazy cause the fact that she was torturing her own child overshadows what she was doing to the others which was so awful as well. Absolutely unbelievable I feel so bad for her family.

As soon as Kendra’s cousin (?) said what she did about how much attention she demanded I started to understand

u/RocketXsockzXisJoneZ 1d ago

That did it for me too.. I didn’t see that (they didn’t want us to I guess) but she described her perfectly as an attention seeking performer which made all of it so much more disturbing. Idk if it’s just me but those 45 min were the longest 45 min I’ve ever watched, I went to work and was pulling up clips for a coworker & completely forgot it wasn’t a series with multiple episodes but just one 45 min documentary

If it was that dad instead of the mom, he would never have gotten out.

u/KVil32 1d ago

Same here. I thought it was a parent too and definitely thought Adrianna’s mom had a motive for framing Khloe

I knew it had to be a parent and a older woman but I never suspected it to her mom 🤯

u/PAngel111 1d ago

I was thinking from the start it was his parent to try get her away from her son or for for some reason, I never guessed it was her parent it was shocking

u/Maxismydog1981 9h ago

Why did you think it was an older woman?

2

u/_chicksareforfags 1d ago

I thought that too, like a microphone app or something even. When they said that the only person who was around was Lauryn when the texts would bring something up from that day. I was like well it’s not her so it must be her phone

My gut said one of the parents .. I donno why

u/Maxismydog1981 9h ago

I thought it was going to be someone nobody suspected. A mother of a student who rarely interacted with Lauryn and Owen, a male teacher no one would expect, or a neighbor who the families were barely aware exists.

u/hoosiergirl1962 1d ago

Not long into the show I said to myself, "I'll bet it was a teacher, and a female one who was fixated on Owen". I didn't know anything about the case beforehand and was truly shocked to find out it was the mother.

u/MostlyHarmless88 1d ago

I didn’t even make it through the whole thing because I was so disgusted with the entire situation. The mother is a sociopath and the daughter needs therapy. She knows deep down what her mother did was wrong, but she can’t accept it right now. She’s going to get angry about it at some point when she’s older and has more life experience, count on it.
