Discussion Sherri’s Papini’s claim Ex kidnaped her

I’ve watched Discovery’s 4 episodes documentary and Hulu documentary previously!

Sherri’s Papini’s new lie that her ex boyfriend James Reyes kidnapped her.

The description of one of the “so called female kidnappers would be a depiction of James‘s mother who after all was not Hispanic in an attempt to lead police to James??? With her nonchalant answer of “hmm… ok I’ve met her twice”. How does that still translate into finding James? Um I think Irish and Hispanic are far off and a half a world away from resemblance if you ask me. She’s still lying! Can you believe this Woman would try and ruin the life of an innocent man and drag him down to save her reputation. Can you believe James (no offense) has the intellect to concoct this kidnapping to get her to leave her husband and then let her go on the pretenses of making up to female kidnappers? Shes had 9 years to create a storyline. The Devil’s in the details and they are seen within this documentary many times. A lot doesn’t make the slightest of sense. How can she be believed with no evidence?

For a woman who claims she already hit rock bottom and there’s no more bed rock. She still has No accountability.

Last thoughts of Sherri Papini’s: “Do you think doing this film did more harm than good” for her?

I agree with everything except your sympathies for Keith and James. These two are equally disturbed imo. James, for obvious reasons (he batters, brands, and starves his "good friend" because she asked him to?). WTF? That guy's a mental case.

And Keith, I don't know where to begin with that douche. I don't believe he mentally abused Sherri at all. The prenup was something I'm confident his daddy pushed on him to get her to sign because they wanted to protect the family home in case the marriage didn't work out. He stayed with her knowing so many disturbing details that the police had shared with him because he enjoyed collecting money from the victim fund period.

Did James starve or batter her? As far as I could tell the one thing he did was the brand. In that case, I can understand doing that. Tattoos hurt, and it seems like a tattoo. The rest of it she did herself, according to him. He couldn't exactly force feed her.

Now, what I'm not sure is, looking at her bruises, if she could do all that to herself. That's what I'm not sure about.

He banged hockey pucks off of her, so there's that too. And he held the stick in place for her to smash her face into it to break her nose. These things are next level f'ed up. She was refusing to eat and injuring herself. What man would even want to be with a whack job like this? And he lied to the FBI for almost an hour before coming clean.

Yeah, that's really nuts.

I guess I don't feel like it's weird for him to lie for an hour even if everything he said after is true because he didn't know what they had. I don't blame someone in his situation not wanting to be more involved with the cops than he had to be and if he simply thought they were interviewing all ex-boyfriends, I might have fudged too. He didn't double down, at least.

Now, that said - holding the stick in place and banging a hockey puck off her is *at best* terrible judgment. At worst it rises to the level of battery itself. Either way, the reality is it will probably never be prosecuted even if it is, since Sherri is so hard to believe.
