The infamous Sherri Papini kidnapping hoax is back in the spotlight thanks to Investigation Discovery’s new docuseries Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie. In it, Papini offers a new explanation for her 2016 disappearance—but even her mother isn’t buying it.
For the first time on camera, Papini, now 42, gives her side of the story—claiming her ex did abduct her, and she agreed to lie about who did it so he’d let her go. She does say she got involved with her ex in a desperate, misguided attempt to seek attention and escape what she perceived as an unsupportive relationship.
