What a disgusting, lying, nut job SP is. Still going on with her lies trying to make $$$$ off her fake abduction.

My deepest sympathies for her husband and children. I certainly hope that the Judge will rule in his favor and not allow SP anywhere near them. She's so warped and twisted that what she would do or say to her own children would be emotionally crippling for them.

Go away SP, shut your lying, blabbing pie hole and fade away into obscurity if you really want to do what's best for everyone. Seriously, just go away you lying liar who lies.

Her only hope is if the judge grants her a trial by combat.

I have tried twice now to watch the new "documentary" and have twice failed. I just can't get through her opening laughing and arrogance. My temper immediately hits red zone.

Thank you for taking one for the team.
You have reminded me that I've made the right decision in passing it by.

Same for me. I watched until she said (while desperately trying to squeeze out a tear) that despite her guilty plea, she really was abducted, held captive and tortured by the ex-boyfriend. She’s a liar to her core.

Why the ex played along with this sociopath is something I’ll never understand.

That’s rich coming from her!! Perhaps she’s seeing things? But if it is true, she’s such a liar - no one will believe her, lol. After all, the proof is lying on the cutting room floor

I wish Keith nothing but happiness, all the happiness in the world after having endured her. If it's with her sister, so be it. It's not like her sister stole him from her.

I believe that her poor Ex truly believed the pathological lies she had been telling their whole marriage. Who would suspect his wonderful partner/mother of his children of being capable of such outrageous and unbelievable lies?

I feel nothing but sympathy for him and the children. I hope they all can live emotionally healthy lives in the wake of all the destruction SP brought upon them.

She needs to sit down, shut it up and go away. But of course she won't, she is soooo desperate for the attention.

Maybe I wasn’t clear. I was referring to JR, not Keith. I don’t think Keith can be blamed for anything. He was/is a victim.

I understand why JR got involved. Sherri had been telling him that her marriage was a horror show and he thought he would be rescuing her from a controlling and physically abusive husband.

I just don’t get why he would have let her stay once he realized how crazy she was acting. Wanting to brand herself? Beating herself up? Did he think she was acting like a lunatic because she was so abused by her husband? Maybe she threatened to accuse him if he didn’t help her so he went along with whatever she wanted. Look how that turned out.

I wish we would have heard more from him about what he was thinking.

I'm sorry, I totally misunderstood @nyvictoria through no fault of yours.

I believe SP spun a tail of "poor me, K's so abusive' to JR. That along with the hint and promise of continuing a past physical relationship IYKWIM. She's a total lying Narc IMO.

I also can't understand why he allowed the charade to continue for as long as he did. SP must have some type of warped magical powers when it comes to lying and convincing others that she is a victim . JR is gullible and not the sharpest knife in the drawer, or he was totally afraid of the consequences of what he had done as you mentioned.

I thought the latest documentary was with Hulu, but just discovered HBO/Max has a dive into the story.

I just started watching the HBO/Max doc.

For science, of course.

 

[mickey2942]

I just worry about those kids. SP is a disaster as a mother. She isn't normal, I wouldn't put it past her to manipulate her kids. I don't think she benefited from prison at all.

In an interview with ABC News on Friday to promote her new memoir, Papini is saying she was indeed kidnapped after all.

This time, she's claiming that she was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend, James Reyes. During the investigation into her lies, authorities concluded that Papini was staying with Reyes in secrecy while her husband, two children and officials searched for her in 2016.

“I’m not actually asking anyone to believe anything," she told ABC News. "I just am free now, and I have the capacity to speak for myself without being afraid and without having to lie and not being as fearful as I have been before."

Sherri Papini claims ex-boyfriend abducted her in new book on 2016 hoax kidnapping case

Sherri Papini -- the California woman who admitted to orchestrating a hoax about being kidnapped -- alleges in a new book that she was, in fact, kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend, and she was in an emotionally abusive marriage.

Sherri Papini, convicted of faking her own kidnapping, again claims she was kidnapped

Papini pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about being kidnapped in 2016 and was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2022.

She seems so unbalanced and attention-hungry that I do not think we have seen the last of her, and I just hope her next stunt, which is surely coming, will not further harm her children and ex's.
