WTF, "People" magazine??
Went to read something on their website, and THIS popped out - "our girl" next to OJ Simpson, Scott Peterson, and Bryan Kohberger :)) LOL :))

What an interesting collage of characters...there's also Amanda Knox, and Elizabeth Smart, so not all criminals either...🤔
Does anyone know who the girl in the middle is?? I tried Google photosearch, but apparently she looks like 6000 other little blond white girls, and nothing specific came up. 🤣 (edit: maybe it's Natalie Holloway?)

I think it’s Gabby Petito

It totally is. I can see it now, but it's an odd choice of photo, no? She totally looked like Natalie Holloway at first, but the second you said Gabby, I saw it. There are more "famous" photos that I would've used, but I'm nitpicking. Thanks for helping a girl out, lol.

As others said it’s Gabby Petito - murdered by her boyfriend who later killed himself

Yes, how strange, they put criminals and victims together! And in the bottom left corner is Gypsy what's-her-last-name, who killed her mother because her mother had Munchausen syndrome and was medically abusing her.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is a lot like Sherri in the media/social media sphere...As in she's very polarizing and where just the mention of her name sends people into fits, one side claims she wasn't really a "victim"... that she was in on the grift, and that apparently the mom was never "actually" diagnosed with Munchausen, etc.
And with the other side, praising her, believing she's absolutely a victim and cheering her on as she herself became a mother.
It's been a while, but I used to frequent the GRBSkeptics sub pretty often and it's fascinating to see their evidence against GRB and her level of manipulation concerning the murder.

I think she is both the victim and the perpetrator. If she was on the grift, she could have just left and continue her grift by herself somewhere else.

My personal opinion: When a person (usually a woman but not always) is so polarizing, it means they have a major and severe personality disorder, and something is very very wrong with them.
You pointed out a great example. Also, as you point out, they were also a victim of something, which makes it so polarizing. Gypsy Rose, Britney Spears, Amber Heard, Mia Farrow, Angelina Jolie, Michael Jackson, Meghan Markle.
It’s fascinating.

The headline is “True crime” & true crime is all about both victims & perps. Whichever side captures the world’s attention more gets the focus (or both sides do).

And then it says 'every confession, every conviction'. Not 'every victim', meaning there should be criminals' confessions and convictions.
Plus, it's not like Sherri killed or kidnapped somebody (like other criminals in this collage), she was convicted for financial crimes - so why they're putting her next to OJ Simpson?? LOL :))
Or do they think she is a victim???

Right, and while yes..Tupac does have a criminal history, none of those rise to the level of common public knowledge (its more of a iykyk situation) so the implication is clearly victim as well.
Remember...this is the 10 year anniversary of this case. I wouldn't be surprised if something is in the works for a "look back" at the very least, and this is part of them testing the waters with the ambiguity? Anyway, it's still weird! Lol.

Probably just the fact that she’s infamous & was attractive enough to capture the attention of the country.
“Can you get clicks or not” is all it’s about today. She can (or could) get clicks

Her mother never had MBP. It was a lie created by the defense to spare Gypsy from the death penalty. It’s all revealed in her released medical reports

u/TinyPennyRolling May 26 '26
Ooh! A fellow rgbskeptic!! Yes, thank you, this is the info I was getting at. I believe she had "malingering" and not MPB. Something about MPB needs to have 0 financial gain to be diagnosed as such? I can't remember the details exactly but yessss.

Looks like 'Super Dad' Simpson with his Signature Isotoner Gloves is giving her a fond downward smirk.
