Carlee Russell, a 25-year-old Alabama woman, faked her disappearance by ditching her wig and claiming abduction after two days—complete with Cheetos, an "orange-haired man," and cash in her sock—while police dismissed her initial not-guilty plea, slapping her with an $18,000 fine and a potential year in prison. Candace Owens mocks the absurdity, ties it to her ex’s alleged infidelity, and blasts media waste on the "hoax," then pivots to porn’s cultural creep, citing Kardashians’ sisterly ads, Heidi Klum’s lingerie shoot with her daughter, and Sammy Sheen’s OnlyFans debut as proof of normalization. The episode warns how unstable family legacies and media exploitation blur ethical lines, urging viewers to question desensitization trends. [Automatically generated summary]
So you get it. Carly Russell saw a naked baby on the side of the road.
She pulled over to help this baby.
And then what transpired next was essentially her Mercedes was found.
It was with the blinkers still on.
Her wig was on the side of the road.
Her phone was still there.
Her purse was still there.
And Carly Russell, we assume, disappeared in the woods.
Then she reappeared two days later on foot at her parents' home, at her parents' residence.
And she had some cash in her sock, which is weird that her abductors didn't take the cash, but they were interested in just having a fun time with her.
Then she told the police a story, which was very sad.
It was a man with orange hair who took her.
We took her into a truck, I believe.
It was a truck at the time.
And he had a woman with her.
The story ended with a woman playing with her hair and feeding her Cheetos or feeding her Cheez-Its.
And Carly was lucky to have somehow escaped on foot after being fed these Cheez-Its and having her hair played with.
So disrespectful. Her real hair, by the way, because remember the wig was on the side of the road.
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
And people started asking questions about whether it was real.
I was one of those people I got shouted at because how dare you not believe what black women go through and experience on a day-to-day basis?
Carly Russell was not telling the truth.
Actually, this ended up to be a hoax.
Perhaps people are alleging because she wanted to get back at her ex-boyfriend who was cheating on her with a stripper.
It got very love and hip-hop.
I stopped following that portion.
But I did not stop following and thinking about the fact that America deserves answers.
Where was Carly Russell for those 48 hours that she was missing if she was not with a bad
orange haired man in the woods being fed cheese? That's where was she? We still don't know and
that's why I think about it every single day. But here is the update that I can give you
in the Carly Russell story. Shockingly, despite her parents first doing the rounds saying that
it did happen and then kind of having to retract their statements in the media because it didn't
happen, Carly Russell entered in a plea of not guilty when she was charged with two misdemeanor
charges of lying to the cops about seeing a child on the highway and being abducted. Stunningly,
she pled not guilty to this. I guess maybe there is still a toddler at large, but of course they
came back and they found her guilty. That's the update of faking her disappearance and wasting
police time. She is being fined $18,000 and also a judge is suggesting that she spend one year
behind bars.
Now, I want to be very clear.
If Carly Russell goes to prison for one year, I will be on the visitor logs.
I will be seeing her probably daily.
I'll probably at least see her once a week because I feel attached to Carly.
Carly feels like she's my cousin, you know, the way that I've been covering the story.
So, Carly, I want you to know that if they put you behind bars for one year, I am going to visit you and I am going to bring you things.
I will bring you candy because I need to talk to you.
I need to understand where you were 40 hours.
I will give you anything. Please come on this show.
We are begging. I will...
Pay the $18,000 fine if you sit down with me and give me a one-on-one on where you were for the 48 hours.
I mean that. Take it to the bank, Carly Russell.
$18,000 in bank account.
Just talk to me on this show about where the heck you were for 48 hours.
America deserves to know.
Well, you guys, I think it's fair.
I think absolutely people that would do something like this, this horrendous, having the entire nation, the FBI, the amount of political and financial resources that were used, having the FBI get involved, everybody in the world tweeting, for her to return home only to discover that she just was
playing a game because she was upset with her ex-boyfriend. Absolutely ridiculous.
You know, she's got to spend a little bit of time in prison. We will continue
to update you on that story as well as whether or not Carly Russell, my new
cousin, hits me back and lets me pay that 18k for her so that she comes on the show.
Would be amazing. We would break the internet, Carly Russell.
Let's break the internet, Carly Russell.
Speaking of people that want to break the internet, well, one manner, of course, is always to be exceptionally pornographic.
I talk about pornography on this show a lot.
And really, I talk about the desensitization that we've had to pornography.
It's all around us.
It's people in ads, holding a Gucci bag, half naked.
Why? Why do we need softcore porn in order to convince me to buy this purse?
And we don't react to that anymore.
And I gave you guys an example in the past of something that has been very disturbing to me.
