British Bella May Culley 18, missing from Thailand, arrested in Georgia, May 2025

I would like her to be banned from appearing on any tv programme or featuring in any magazine or newspaper . She should have no exposure and should not be able to profit,even indirectly,from her crime. Even if she donated any appearance fees to charity ,she would love the attention and use it to boost her tiktok views.
She definitely should not be permitted to go into schools to talk about her experiences under the guise of warning of the dangers of being a mule,or perhaps the irresponsibility of becoming a teenage mother .

"Pregnant Bella Culley is set to fly home to the UK tonight
after prosecutors decided to show the British teenager mercy.

'The confiscated drugs will be destroyed, including her bag,
while other personal belongings will be returned to her'.

Judge Giorgi Gelashvili, then asked the prosecutor if Culley should be set free, to which he replied:
'Yes, we would like her to be released today'.

The judge agreed to release her,
but cautioned that there would be no mitigating circumstance
if she repeats the offence.

It was later reported
that her release came after the British Embassy sent a letter
to the president of Georgia, Mikheil Kavelashvili,
asking him to pardon her."

Phew!
This is exactly what I predicted at the very start
writing about "moves behind the scenes"

Be interesting to know what the government offered in exchange for her release.

I’d like never to hear anything of her again, but am holding out zero hope of that.

Unfortunately, IMO, these type of drug mules are treated as some sort of celebrities. It's ridiculous and just glamourises both drugs and drug mules. She's not some shining example of a heroine wrongly imprisoned in a foreign country, just another seedy participant in the drug world. The way her parents proudly paraded her out disgusted me.

Ugh just catching up here…she was released?!?

Well, she was actually pregnant which I was highly skeptical of, already posting pictures of the baby on TikTok.

Here’s hoping that she learned the hard lessons she needed to, straightens up, and will focus on being a good mom, instead of trying to cash in on her notoriety.

So there WAS an actual baby! Did not see that coming.

When this story broke I was almost certain that the pregnancy was fake news too.

IMO if it wasn't for that baby she would have been looking at serious prison time. But in the end, the inevitable mountain of red tape that would have resulted from a foreign offender giving birth while in prison were enough for Georgian authorities to accept a cash payment and to just deport her.
