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?

Also, what the hell is up with the parents of Khloe? It was hinted at by Sean that her dad is a dirty cop and her mom doesn’t believe Lauryn and Sean are victims in this?

came looking for this comment! how THEY saw themselves as the real victims in all of this was really shocking to me! seems like they peaked in high school and are raising a child who will follow the same path as them. VERY weird vibes from that family, they all came across as very self centered and cruel

I mean they did say something along the lines of poor Khloe lost a year in what was supposed to be one of the best times in her life.. so I'd agree with the peaking in high school lol

I don't feel like we saw enough of them to know anything concrete about them. In any case, their daughter was framed by a criminal, she's of course a victim too.

I think I saw plenty, haha, to determine that regardless of being a victim, she’s a classic bully being raised by bullies. Owen said she wasn’t a nice person and his sweet cousin is enough proof.

She's a kid who got targeted by a criminal adult. That's all there is to say about it. And she's still a kid btw, we don't need to be dissecting her on social media.

She is now graduated from high school and a legal adult

Maybe let go of the stalking?

absolutely! but she was certainly not the center focus of this story like her parents made her and themselves out to be. i suppose khloe is relatively neutral, but her parents were totally awful and REALLY lacked empathy

I don't think that's fair on Khloe. She too is just a child caught up in a miserable situation. Being suspected by friends and neighbors and then questioned by the police regarding a campaign of abuse that was sexual and violent in nature must have been horrific for her, and when interviewed about her experience it's not unreasonable for her to answer those questions and be frank about how difficult it was.

If her parents are guiding her towards blaming Lauryn, that's on them.
