This story is so very sad for everyone, but Charlie is no victim. The host has potential for podcasting which is why it got 2 stars even I canceled after 3 episodes.
Interesting topic but the sensational approach and padding make it too grating to continue past mid second episode.
Something is not adding up with Charlie. The show did not do enough to grapple with the fact that she may have been a victim, but she harmed SO MANY more people… and has exactly zero reflection/regrets- “would have done the same thing.” Really? It makes me wonder if she was a lot more culpable and involved than what’s shared, here. She’s shameless. Giggling about the fact she “oops trafficked her brothers, my bad. Off to fix this by screwing over more people…” Yikes.
Charlie should be in jail for what she did to others. She’s a straight up scammer and tried to make herself like a victim. You can hear in her voice. Lost a star because the host got taken on a ride from Charlie.
The story sounded really interesting but the forced cussing by the host is not necessary.
