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?

Did this documentary really try to make us feel sympathy for this disgusting human being because she was raped? Excuse me ? Do they realize how unimaginably offensive that is?

As soon as I saw the first alligator tear as she was discussing her excuses, I audibly said “don’t you fucking say you were raped” 🫥

I hated that part so much, it was such bs. So you want to protect your kid from abuse by abusing her yourself instead? You're scared something bad might happen to her? YOU happened to her!

I got the opposite vibe from the doc only because they put the texts on the screen while she was talking and spouting her BS. If anything I think the documentary highlighted her level of manipulation quite well.

I think I’m just salty that she got so much airtime and we had to watch her cry and boohoo 😂

Totally understandable. It was like, “boohoo, cry me a river, lady!” While she took no accountability for her actions.

I really do wish they'd have grilled her. Like how does it make ANY sense to say "boohoo, but no one knows my sob story, I was raped at 17, THEREFORE I harass and psychologically torture my daughter and her bf/ex and anyone in her vicinity with hundreds of text messages per day" like HUH?!
