Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie

Sherri is still a woman in need of serious psychological help. Her story remains full of delusion, and she is the polar opposite of convincing in this documentary. She comes off as manipulative and strangely detached from the damage she caused. The only thing that is true in this is just how unwell she continues to be. If this was meant to be a redemption arc, it's not. Sherri appears just as nutty as ever, and still entirely lost in the lies she spun. My heart goes out to Keith, who has shown remarkable strength and grace despite being dragged through the chaos, deceit, and betrayal caused by someone so void of integrity and character. I hope he continues to heal and rebuild his life far away from the dysfunction his ex-wife created. He deserves peace, honesty, and happiness. All things Sherri clearly never brought to the table.

I realized something from watching this crap that I didn't understand before. I knew she was a pathological liar. I did not know that she is evil. I was actually shocked by how purely evil and destructive she is. If she had just kept her mouth shut - only her ex-husband, Keith, would have known that part. Now the world knows.

I could write a book on how everything she says in this documentary is either a lie or insane. But just take this for example: Crazy Sherri takes the extreme step of secretly taping her and Keith's interaction. In part 2 she plays the most egregious one of those exchanges. All it demonstrated was that Keith, calm but firm, fully has her number and job one for him is to protect their children from HER.

And Sherri has this crazy attorney who was gang raped and talks about her need to "escape", understandably, from that event. She draws a parallel between her trauma and her need to escape from it and Sherri's trauma and Sherri's need to escape from it. The attorney ironically, and stupidly, doesn't realize that Sherri caused ALL of the trauma that she went through, and is responsible for ALL of the trauma that her family experienced, and therefore is the "rapist" in this scenario.

At the end, she asks the off-camera documentarian: "Do you think this will do more harm than good to me?" Hmm...she's starting to catch on.

I'm don't care to spend another minute on this review. But someone should go into the questionable ethics of the makers of this disaster movie using an unstable sociopath who is incapable of saying no to the project, and also incapable of doing anything but revealing, through her own words, how destructive and dangerous she is.

I wish that you had focused on confirming or negating the allegations. But instead, this was just her blaming everyone and everything on others. You gave her a huge platform to put out her scenario and to explain away all of the lies. Even when you pressed her and caught her in lies, she was allowed to explain it all away. I have a friend who is a pathological liar. Does it come from abuse, absolutely. But it doesn't make it ok. There were many things you could have done to confirm James story, but you chose to instead let her blame him. You should have told both sides, even if he chose not to participate. This was just a whitewash of her lies.

What I saw from Sherri Papini is an attention seeker who showed zero remorse for her actions and what she put so many people through. Seems as tho Sherri has her therapist fooled and her own mother even said on camera that it was NOT a kidnapping, that she was seeking a connection outside her marriage. There are so many lies that you can see her in real time trying to figure her way out of them - it's not even clear to her and so the facts are still not revealed to this day. Instead of full disclosure and accountability, she's throwing her 2 ex's under the bus. If she was so concerned about her children, why did she have this 'affair' in the first place? Seems like Keiths' 'control' stems from the logical mistrust as Sherri proved from the beginning she has the tendency to stray and embellish. Shame Sheri Shame. Keith did what he had to do ( post nup) so the children at least have one parent they can count on for the proper love and support and parenting they deserve. She has proven to be unstable unreliable and untruthful. I commend Keith for his strength at having to deal with this nightmare that Sherri caused the entire family due to her selfishness. Sherri Papini needs to stop playing the victim oh and stop the lying. She may have fooled her therapist but she has not fooled us all.

Dear James,

I'm so sorry Sherri did this to you and that you ever got involved with her. Unfortunately you should have realized she was crazy and a liar while she was asking you to do insane things at your house for 22 days. That said, you don't deserve to be another victim in the path of her tornado.

This girl is such a narcissist that she truly believed this documentary would be good for her and force people to believe her. They can't hide their disorders and she is severely misdiagnosed. She needs money, she needs a good story to get her kids back, she needs every man in her life to be the bad guy so she can be the princess in need of saving. Who paid her money to lie some more for this?!? I'm dumber for having watched it, but I really hoped she'd tell the truth and that James would tell his side. The great thing about it is she lied some more and couldn't hide her crazy no matter how hard she tried.
