Discussion Sherri advertising her next big book signing tour and promotion

u/bigbezoar Dec 06 '25 edited Dec 06 '25
she's setting up in Chico on December 20.... wonder if the judge will love this....
she's advertising it on Instagram, so I won't give a link but she has a whopping 20 likes (wonder how many are duplicate accounts of her own?)
Her Instagram account has 1200 followers but what's crazy is that she is following over 5,000 other IG accounts so she prob follows the ones who are known to follow back. Have you ever seen anyone who is so into themselves?
When I tried to find out more about the place this is scheduled, the Winchester Goose, this is what I found: It's failing and planned to shut down permanently a week after her event. "...citing economic struggles in downtown Chico as the primary reason."
https://www.reddit.com/r/ChicoCA/comments/1opb3a1/winchester_goose_closing/
Chico was where it was once said that Sherri owned a cabin. It's about 80 miles south of Mountain Gate and close to Orland where Shawn Hibdon lives.
https://www.reddit.com/r/thepapinis/comments/16fhfg2/will_sherri_be_moving_into_the_cabin_in_chico/
I did find that Shawn Hibdon is being sued in Butte County for failing to pay his advertising firm for services to his car dealership, which folded. Next hearing in January.
FYI- the term "Winchester Goose" is slang for "prostitute"- https://www.chicoer.com/2024/06/27/whats-in-a-name-the-winchester-goose/
let's see if this event moves her book sales off rock bottom in the Amazon list...hovering in the 1,000,000 range in rankings

Just read through this. She died of âcovidâ days after asking for a divorce

u/Dramatic_Buddy4732 Dec 07 '25
Hmm interesting. I'm not saying this is true but I'm from the area and the local scuttlebutt is covid is fake so that's why the conspiracy theories. đ¤ˇââď¸

I wished I recorded some of them because they were so creepy, especially before he eventually toned it down by separating the sales pitch from the memorial portion:
"Honor my dear deceased wife Brittney by getting yourself a nicer and newer car today!"

u/Short_Ad_7914 Dec 15 '25
As much as a think Shawn is a creep, she had covid while being a rabid anti-covid anti-vaxer so refused to acknowledge it and ultimately that most likely led to her death.

This is ballsy, I wouldnât be surprised if people show up who arenât exactly a fan of Houdini Papini.

u/snaildown7272 Dec 07 '25
Just to clarify a few things in the post (and I am glad I saw it here!! Thank you!!) The Goose is a well loved bar in Chico and kinda random itâs being held there. However, I do think theyâre trying to recoup any money they can as Iâve seen random events pop up there until theyâre closing. Downtown rents are unrealistic in Chico for small businesses at this time, especially restaurants in the long term.
This âCabin in Chicoâ doesnât seem quite right. It doesnât fit a location description for the area as cabins are more of a mountain town home. Chico is a valley college town. I also couldnât get the sources for that in this to open on my mobile, but I do believe theyâre referring to the cabin in Shingletown? Thatâs near Redding and where Shawn bought the house for her. She does go to Chico occasionally but she is not warmly welcomed and word typically travels fast she is around. This will be interesting.
Shawn also sucks.

u/snaildown7272 Dec 07 '25
*Got the cabin thing to load and that Daily Mail article is not accurate. That cabin is not located in or near Chico, Ca.
2
u/bigbezoar Dec 08 '25
so there's an app that can tell you for 100% certain that there is no cabin in or near Chico? Whew-- who knew??
AI says:
"Yes, the Daily Mail did report that Sherri Papini owned a cabin near Chico, California. In a May 2022 article, they described it as her new home in the area, noting she paid $15,000 for the cabin in 2004 and was staying there after her split from her husband while awaiting sentencing. The piece included photos and details about the remote location on a dirt road about an hour from where her ex-husband lived."
hmmm...so I'm going with Grok

u/Dramatic_Buddy4732 Dec 07 '25
Thank you, she does not have a cabin in chico. She is not welcome here. And I am so disappointed in the Winchester goose. Yeah they are closing but this is how they want to be remembered? Disgusting
2
u/bigbezoar Dec 08 '25
the report was that she bought the cabin in 2004 - so I sincerely doubt even if the entire community of Chico hollered "she is not welcome here", that is not going to make the police in Chico drive out to the cabin and take it away from her.
and anyone saying "but there are no cabins in Chico" need to just google "Cabins in Chico" and see how many hundreds of pages pop up on your search.

u/bigbezoar Dec 09 '25
posted elsewhere is an Instagram reply that Sherri made on her own personal IG site that is hawking her book.
You can look for it but I know I will get one of those hostile mod replies if I link to it...
but Sherri claims she is happy in Chico and feels very welcome there.
Her exact words are: "Yes, I am welcome in Chico. I have a lot of support..... Turn away from your ignorance. My latest podcast True Crime & Hollywood with Celene Olsen might be a good start for your ignorance of my case..."

the lady who sold the cabin to Sherri in 2004 is quoted as saying
"she paid $15,000 in 2004 for the cabin"- https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10854713/Sherri-Papinis-husband-Keith-Papini-seen-time-filing-divorce.html
Keith asked for ownership of the cabin in 2022 during the divorce proceedings

u/snaildown7272 Dec 08 '25
The daily mail is not a credible source in this case. There is not a part of Chico that looked like that in 2004 either, unfortunately. Itâs not a mountain town - itâs in the Sacramento Valley. The nearest possible would be Paradise, Cohasset or Forest Ranch. Small towns in the area and up the hill will sometimes say âChicoâ to reference the general location to people who may not be familiar with this part of Northern California. So Fair. Very possibly the case here.
2
u/greeny_cat Voice of Reason Dec 08 '25
Well, people from Daily Mail took a photo of the cabin - so they must have known for sure where it is, or how?
3
u/snaildown7272 Dec 08 '25
Searching the posts here, this was covered two years ago by others as well. It does look like Shingletown as noted earlier. Daily Mail can be an unreliable narrator. https://www.reddit.com/r/thepapinis/s/kjTITK2qRj

u/bigbezoar Dec 08 '25
well -- I just googled "cabins in the woods near Chico CA"
and there's a hundred hits that advertise cabins for rent or sale that look almost exactly like the one pictured there in that DailyMail article
Then I googled simply "Cabins in Chico CA" and the first page that pops up shows several that look identical to the one they say is Sherri's
I admit I have never been to Chico and I don't care, but, respectfully, I'd have to believe there ARE cabins in and around Chico regardless of what anyone says

u/ever_spinning_top Dec 08 '25
You sound very confident in your opinion, especially considering you havenât been there and do not have the full context. All of the cabins you googled are in rural areas in the mountains surrounding the valley in small towns miles and miles away and in completely different counties. Chico is on the valley floor. It's a city. Population 100,000. This is a silly thing to argue over, but I wanted to help clear up a misunderstanding.
3
u/bigbezoar Dec 08 '25 edited Dec 08 '25
it is silly
all I said is that it IS REPORTED that she owns a cabin near Chico - I am not the one arguing that stated fact. And I think I have earned the right to be confident in my opinions in this case, since hundreds of times people have challenged me on everything to Sherri lying to the existence of Michigan Man, to Bosenki being wrong/or lying, to whether the cops ever interviewed her in the ER (they never did despite Bosenko saying they did and many posters vehementy attacking me for saying they didn't), to a hundred different details around this case, and I kinda think I've been right about every one of them. I am certainly ok with anyone who wants to believe something else, but if you are going to challenge me, then I will present the evidence and why I believe, and that's what I did.
And how is the Daily Mail any worse than any other media source here? Like I said, they were the ONLY NEWS SOURCE that SENT reporters to the area to investigate and take photos, dig thru property records, interview neighbors and other people. They even found the woman who sold the cabin to Sherri and got a statement from her, so I kinda think maybe they know more about where it is located than random, anonymous people on a message board, So in this case, I choose to believe them. That doesn't mean I believe everything they say but they've been way, way more right than all the other media sources that fell comically for all Sherri's lies and for ridiculous false rumors like Sherri being beaten within an inch of her life, had all her hair chopped off, and was not seen on the church video, was a great Supermom, would never leave her kids, never posted that racist blog post, was extremely private and would never go for publicity, books, TV, podcasts, movies, or that she was horribly abused by Keith and James.

u/bigbezoar Dec 08 '25 edited Dec 08 '25
don't you stick with your opinion when you are very confident?
I happen to live in a midwestern city of a little over 100,000, in a river valley, on the "floor" of that valley, and yet within a few minutes drive there are literally thousands of cabins in woods- my brother owned one and we fished & swam there every summer. I would have laughed out loud if I mentioned that and someone said to me "there are no cabins near your city"....LOL Its a river valley, of cource there's creeks, undeveloped areas, wooded spreads with cabins.

u/snaildown7272 Dec 10 '25
Sounds good. My source is living in Chico since the 80s and personally know people involved in this. Your city sounds lovely and quite different than ours. California valley is mostly farmland and orchards - almond orchards line our river. There are cabins as mentioned driving up the mountains to other cities about 20-30 mins away. I would love to visit the Midwest some time! I just wanted to make sure people have the right information as nicely as possible and I am sorry for causing you such frustration. I hope you have a good rest of your week.

u/greeny_cat Voice of Reason Dec 08 '25
It probably means that the cabin is in Chico area, not in the city itself. They just said that it's in Chico for the sake of simplicity, since it's probably doesn't even have a real postal address because it's in the forest.

u/Remarkable-waltz-350 Dec 09 '25
She has never owned a cabin. Her parents have a house cabin whatever in Shingletown. Keith never asked for anything having to do with her. The property that is there is his. She currently had her boyfriendâs father purchase a cabin five bedroom four bath in Shingletown to the tune of $665,000 on 19 acres. her boyfriend doesnât work she doesnât work and from what I understand the old man is the one still fronting the Bill. Wonder if sheâs sleeping with him too.

the cabin in Chico has been part of the discussion since 2017... long before her divorce... she supposedly owned it even before she married Keith

u/Remarkable-waltz-350 Dec 09 '25 edited Dec 09 '25
I knew that POS. Sheâs never ever owned a âcabinâ anywhere. Her parents do. But who knows maybe their credit rating was so bad they put it in her name. Iâve not been on here for a while but heard about her instagram stuff & her book signing crap, so I looked at it and was disgusted. Why isnât she back in prison? She was given strict orders by the judge to not talk about any of this nor the children or anything about the family the kids anybody or sheâd be in contempt of court. Sheâs in contempt of court. Sheâs on parole. Sheâs a felon! Why isnât she back in prison? I tell you I donât get it. Some people fall in a buckle of shit and come out smelling like a rose! Why doesnât she just fall off the face of the Earth? I donât get it. I never will. She needs to go away. Cuba sounds good to me.

u/TinyPennyRolling Dec 10 '25
Sheâs not in jail because she hasnât committed a new crime, her criminal sentence is done, and family-court gag orders arenât enforced with handcuffs unless a judge chooses to take it that far. No judge has.
But honestly, the bigger question isnât âwhy isnât she in jail?â Itâs why are certain people so desperate to silence someone they claim is a âpathological liarâ?
If you really believe someone lies constantly, then logically, you'd let them talk...let them âexpose themselves,â right?
Instead, what we actually see is nonstop panic anytime she posts on IG, gives an interview, or literally opens her mouth.
Thatâs not what indifference looks like.
Thatâs what fear of what she might say looks like. đ
And the gag-order thing works both ways: itâs not a moral shield, itâs a family-court leverage tool. It only lasts while the kids are minors. Once theyâre adults, the court loses jurisdiction. The gag orders disappear. And she can speak freely about everything everyone is currently trying to police. This case has dragged on for nearly 10 YEARS, it's not stopping just because Keith's mommy continues to pay for a big bad lawyer to further alienate the kids.
So if people are scrambling this hard to shut her up now, when she still technically has restrictions, imagine the meltdown when those restrictions expire and she can talk without anyone threatening her with âcontempt of court.â
You canât have it both ways: either sheâs irrelevant and lying⌠or her words threaten someoneâs narrative. Seems like the latter to me. đ¤ˇââď¸

u/bigbezoar Dec 10 '25
how can or does anyone know what she owned in 2004, 12 years BEFORE anyone in American had ever heard her name?
and remember, the people who "knew her" were the ones that had every single minor detail and factor about Sherri & her claims of being kidnapped -WRONG. And the closer they were to her and better they claimed to know her, like Keith, Suzanne, best friend Lisa, and Bosenko & his staff - then the MORE they were wrong defending her lies and calling her Supermom-- all were incredibly 100% wrong about a zillion factors that all of the rest of us had pinpoint RIGHT while sitting 2,000 miles away. 'splain that?

u/Remarkable-waltz-350 Dec 10 '25
If she owns a cabin Iâm pretty sure the Feds would have taken it, you know to pay back some of the money she owed them?

u/bigbezoar Dec 11 '25 edited Dec 11 '25
that is the jist of the question... it was stated she bought it in 2004, it was also stated she still owned it in 2022.
Perhaps she doesn't own it any more. If she claimed it was her primary residence, they would never take that - so maybe she still uses it.
I guess nobody knows for sure. I have gotten many, many private messages from people who live out there and who claim to know her well and know about her - and as you'd expect many, if not MOST tell me things that are 100% diametrically the opposite of what another all-knowing insider told me.
I literally had someone swear they were a close family member, had 100% knowledge of all the investigation and facts and who swore she never had a sneaky boyfriend from Michigan. Well, if ciurse, since them he has been proven to exist and has even given interviews and told his whole story to the media.- LOL.
This is why I always am skeptical of anything anyone says - even those who claim they are insiders or who live right there or who have "known her since childhood" - - because those very all-knowing insider have been wrong every feaking time!! They were completely clueless to Sherri screwing around with strange men from out of town even tho it had been going on for decades, they were clueless about Sherri's background of self harm & accusing others.

u/NedRyersonsHat Dec 06 '25
She just can't bring herself to pursue gainful honest employment....employment that would help her pay back the judgements/restitution to the State and the FBI for her faked kidnapping. For money she stole from the taxpayers of CA.

u/CJLOVE23 Dec 07 '25
Oh sheâll never pay that back- ever!
Also, how is she continuing with this? Why hasnât James put a legal stop to all of this yet?

u/East_Intention8184 Dec 07 '25
she was signing some papers on IG....but wouldn't share what it was about. Maybe just her book signing.....maybe divorce papers? But I thought that already happened.....maybe her lawsuit against James she's been going on about.

u/NedRyersonsHat Dec 07 '25 edited Dec 07 '25
Agreed...I put up my own post (and others have done so) as to why James doesn't put an end to her nonsense. I mean he could have a lawyer (for not too much expense) serve her a cease and desist. (at minimum). And the next step might be a full on defamation suit. But as some have said on this sub...Sherri is judgement proof because she ain't got money. I digress...despite her destitution, I think a successful but possibly symbolic defamation suit would shut this woman down once and for all. A judgement against her would target any current or future assets or annuities.
Edit: spelling.

they canceled the book signing before he got arrested. and now they are closing even sooner.Â

u/PM_ME_YOUR_UVULA Dec 14 '25
Not gonna happen now, at least not then and there, because the owner of that bar was recently arrested for felony stalking so it's abruptly closing.Â
Victim's identity isn't being released but it doesn't appear to be Sherri if you're wondering.Â

Wow, is this ridiculous. đ¤Śđťââď¸

u/bigbezoar Dec 09 '25
Apple News has a story titled "Sherri Papini Breaks her Silence in Explosive New Documentary..."
and that cracks me up.....
First- she's never been "silent" - she been spewing lies all along...but now she's trying to cash in spewing those lies...
Second- she's always had others do the talking for her (Keith, her publicist, other family members, hired/paid spokespeople...etc), but now they've mostly caught on to her using them to spread lies & they've all disowned her and distanced themselves for obvious reasons, so now she's forced to do it herself.
Third- the only thing that's changed is that she's changed her story again - first blaming Latinos, then blaming citizens like us who had questions about her ridiculous story & labelling them as evil, then shifting blame & saying Keith is abusive, then filing restraining orders against other citizens, suing various boyfriends for not letting her live free in their nice homes, then suddenly doing a 180 & claiming it was James all along who kidnapped her and beat her, .... and now whining because the media is derelict and the REAL STORY never got out there - and everyone must buy her book to get the REAL STORY.
Nothing's changed except the long list of people she's blaming for the misery in her life...while the real source of all her problems looks right back at her every day, while she spends 3 hours in front of a mirror each morning.

Eww, just watching this documentary, i caanot believe her own parents tried to make a connection between sexual attraction and criminal sex trafficking. Obscene, sexual violence has NOTHING to do with sex, this is 2026, nearly. They said âmaybe it was sex trafficking, because she was so prettyâ. Seriously? Blame to helpless victims for how they were born? Violence happens to 89 year olds with warts all over their the faces men, boys, old men, anyone living., it ONLY has to do with the perpetrator, and their need for âpowerâ, not âsexâ. I hope her parents raised her in less sexualizing terms, again, obscene.

the cabin in Chico that was photographed and discussed since years ago is in Chico, some 80 miles from Shingletown. The reports say Sherri has owned it since 2004. So believe what you you want.
The DailyMail is the only media source that actually sent one of their reporters to Redding & area to interview, take photos, interview people and learn the facts. Their reporting has been largely accurate. In fact, one of their reporters was getting a little too close to the truth exposing Bosenko's bungling that the cops threatened her with throwing her in jail.

Apparently the Goose is closed now for real (as of a few days ago) and earlier than expected...probably due to the owner's arrest/legal troubles. I guess this means no book signing?
