Kidnap hoaxer Sherri Papini claims her sister and ex-husband have ‘inappropriate’ relationship

Sherri Papini, the woman who served 10 months in prison after pleading guilty to her own kidnapping hoax, has now accused her ex-husband and sister of having an inappropriate relationship.

Papini, then a 34-year-old married mother-of-two, gained attention in 2016 when she “vanished” for 22 days until she was found several hundred miles away, covered in bruises, claiming she had been held captive by two Latina women.
