Oops. It seems Inside Edition left out a few facts:
- Timeline: July 1, 2021 = this arrest. March, 2022 = suicide. November 24, 2023 = arrest video released (FOIA request). Nobody saw the arrest video until long after she was dead.
- Multiple people called about this incident. One of them recorded it and gave a copy of the video to the police. It doesn't match this sob story about nobody being around.
- She served a felony prison term in Florida about 6 years ago. She had a long list of other arrests before and after. Drugs and alcohol. Stealing cars. Failures to appear. Other thefts. You name it.
- She abandoned her career and family over a decade ago, including a husband and a 6 month old son (and another son) in favor of living a life of crime and drugs.
- Her landlord said she was a stripper at the local club. Her neighbors said she also did "private extras" for cash with a parade of men in her apartment. If she was someone who was easily "shamed," she sure picked a strange career path.
- She never showed up at court for this arrest, which seems to have been her usual way of handling her other arrests, given her warrants for failures to appear. She attempted to change her name a few times to evade the police, but, the courts wouldn't let her, due to her criminal history.
I guess "innocent soccer mom gets arrested by evil police and can't stand the shame" goes viral. And, they crafted this story a few months ago, long after she died, but didn't mention she was already dead. That way, they got a 2nd viral round by posting the "update" that she had killed herself, and let the public believe that the arrest was the cause. "Convicted felon who can't stop getting arrested, gets arrested again, and kills herself a year later for unrelated reasons" doesn't go viral, after all.
I'll eat my hat if she wasn't making "public beach" content, but got reported, and was trying to whine her way out of her millionth arrest.

Yes, she believed her life was ruined, and ended it. But, if you think it's from this video, you're ridiculously mistaken. She left her career and family behind about a decade ago, because she wanted to leave behind all normalcy, and wanted to live a life of crime and drugs. She served a felony prison term for stealing cars. And, once she got out, she continued her drug and crime spree until the day she died. This particular incident was merely her millionth arrest. And, sorry to inform you, but Inside Edition isn't going to share the timeline of this incident (ruins their false narrative). July 1, 2021 = this arrest. March, 2022 = suicide. November 24, 2023 = arrest video made public. That's when the big media outlets covered this story... literally 1.5 years after she was already dead. Not only wasn't she shamed by this news story (because she wasn't alive when any major media covered it), but, let's get real here, her landlord said that she was a stripper at the local club. So, I really don't think she was all that embarrassed by being exposed publicly.

Yeah, that's a bit confusing, though. I mean, yeah, I agree, it's sad that she had no family or friends that were even looking for her, and her body was left to decay until the landlord went looking for the rent. But, the medical examiner's report says that the last date she was known to be alive was March 19, 2022. Her body was found on March 31, 2022. So, that's not 30 days, that's 12 days. I'm wondering, in retrospect, if the medical examiner's report is simply wrong, and they wrote down the 19th because that was the date of the attempted wellness check, and maybe the medical examiner thought that it came back positive (it didn't).

The number of people commenting in this video, falling for this ridiculous setup of a "news" story... it's downright sad. This incident was on July 1, 2021. She committed suicide in March of 2022. The arrest video wasn't released until November 24, 2023 (Freedom of Information Act request), and had absolutely no "shaming" effect on her, because nobody saw it while she was alive. There were a couple of obscure blogs that posted her mugshot, but, that's not exactly new for her, because she had an arrest record a mile long, and did a felony term in a Florida prison about 6 years ago. Multiple people at the beach called the cops for this incident, and one of them recorded it, and gave a copy of the video to the police. It has never been released due to graphic content, but, the arrest report says it was a loud and public display in view of multiple people including children. Inside Edition first aired this story long after her death, but, didn't mention that she was already dead. They apparently wanted a double-whammy of viral videos out of this one, so, in the first version, they didn't tell the audience that she had already been dead for 1.5 years, and then made this "follow up" story to say she's now dead, leaving the audience to believe that it was the first round of press that caused the suicide, and this is the 2nd round of press to talk about that. In reality, there was nearly zero press until long after she was dead. It's ironic (not really) that they say she was a real estate agent, since she hadn't sold a house in over a decade. Her landlord said that she was a stripper at the local club, and neighbors said she did "private extras" in her apartment with a parade of men. Personally, I think she was making "public beach" content for her fans, but got reported, and was trying to cry her way out of her millionth arrest. She's been busted for drug and alcohol crimes, stealing cars, failures to appear, other thefts, had judgements against her civilly and criminally, and had open warrants. More than a decade ago, she abandoned her family, husband, 6 month old son, and another son, in order to live a life of crime and drugs that her own family said was "off the rails." But, Inside Edition gets more viral views from "innocent soccer mom busted by evil police" than "career criminal who can't stop getting herself arrested, gets arrested again, and kills herself a year later for unrelated reasons." And, the gullible audience gobbles it up like Christmas dinner.

What you saw was a media setup. See, the fact is that the woman died nearly 2 years ago. But, yes, a couple of months ago, the arrest video was released to the public. So, the media showed the arrest video without mentioning that she was already dead. Then, they made these new videos a few weeks later for the follow-up story that she killed herself, making people believe that the release of the arrest video is what made her commit suicide. The reality is, however, that she ditched her career and family about a decade ago, in favor of living a life of crime and drugs. She did a felony prison term for stealing cars. And, she had an arrest and judgement record a mile long for various other stuff. And, this arrest probably had very little to do with her suicide. After all, according to her landlord, she was a stripper at the local club, so, I really don't think she felt much "shame" over being exposed to the public.

"Such a beautiful lady"
Well, in July of 2021, ok. But, in March of 2022, when she committed suicide, well, read the medical examiner's report. It says that her body weighed 86 pounds, and that her implants were jutting out of her emaciated body in such an unnatural way that really emphasized how unhealthy she was. It seems she really went downhill between 2021 and 2022.
"this whole situation must have completely broken her mentally"
Let's face reality here... this wasn't exactly her first arrest. And, if she didn't want to get "embarrassed," then what was she doing putting on a beach show, which was recorded by a family, and viewed by the police, who described it as a long and drawn out public display... hardly the "few seconds" that the woman claims. And, how did she really suffer from it? The arrest video wasn't released to the public until 1.5 years after she died.
"I really feel for her family & friends on her loss"
But, according to the reports, she had basically abandoned her family and friends. She was last known to be alive on 3/19/2022, and wasn't found until 3/31. How close could those ties have been, if that much time passed and nobody knew she was gone?

I wonder how many people in these comments would express this level of sympathy if Inside Edition actually told the whole story, rather than this concept of "was she shamed to death?" They never actually answer the question, mind you. But, they paint a picture of a sweet soccer mom being carted away by evil police, being shamed in public, who commits suicide because of the publicity. They never say that the arrest video wasn't released until 2.5 years later, and that she was long gone by then. They let you believe that the release of the arrest video was the cause of the suicide, but, in reality, nobody saw the arrest video until long after she was dead. They never say that the cops would have had no choice but to arrest her anyway, because she was a career criminal with open warrants who served felony time in a Florida prison about 6 years ago. They don't tell you that she walked out on her family over a decade ago, including a husband, a 6 month old son, and another son, in order to live a life of crime and drugs. Stealing cars. Drugs and alcohol. Other thefts and civil judgements. They don't tell you that her landlord said she was a stripper at the local club, and her neighbors said she did "private extras" with parades of paying men in her apartment. They don't tell you that she was so estranged from any family and friends that absolutely nobody came looking for her after her death, and that nobody even knows how long she was dead (probably a month due to the decay of the body) before the landlord went into the apartment looking for the overdue rent. They don't tell you that her own family said that they don't think this incident had anything to do with her suicide a year later. Nope. They also don't tell you that there were multiple callers on the beach that day who complained to the police, one of whom actually recorded the incident and gave a copy of the video to the cops. (That video has never been released due to graphic content.) If she wasn't making "public beach" content, I'll eat my hat. But, they show her trying to cry her way out of her millionth arrest, tell you that she's a real estate agent (who hadn't sold a house in more than a decade), and everyone pours their heart out with sympathy.
Well, I don't lack sympathy either. I don't like seeing people suffering, nor for their private lives to be made public. But, the Freedom of Information Act is law in this country. So, the cops had no choice but to release the arrest video after she was long gone. And, I don't like when media people spin a story to make it go viral, while intentionally avoiding all of the facts. I'm sorry that "career criminal gets herself arrested for the millionth time" doesn't go viral, while "innocent soccer mom tossed in prison by evil police" does. But, I lament even more about the viewers who blindly swallow anything they see in a 1 minute video.

Doubtful she felt any humiliation. I mean, with her mile long arrest record, prison term for stealing cars, failures to appear in court, drug and alcohol charges galore, open warrants for her arrest, yeah, she should have been pretty used to those cuffs by then. And, let's face reality here: her landlord said that her profession was, well, one of those words that isn't allowed on YouTube comments, it involves lots of cash transactions with typically male clients. Yeah, I seriously doubt there's any shame there... especially given that nobody saw the arrest video until long after she was dead.

What a ridiculous reaction by so many people in the comments. This is merely clever editing and wording by Inside Edition (where facts don't matter). If they told the entire story, of course, people would react differently. But, they present her like a soccer mom who has never done anything wrong, and was the victim in the story. In reality, this woman had abandoned her family about a decade ago in order to live a life of drugs and crime. She did a felony prison term for stealing cars. She had an arrest record a mile long for other stuff. Drug and alcohol charges. Judgements against her for various thefts. Numerous failures to appear in court with open arrest warrants. Her landlord said that she was a stripper at the local club. And, multiple people called the police for this incident. One caught it on video and showed it to the police. Needless to say, the police described it in their report quite differently than, "(sob sob) nobody was around." Apparently, it was a very loud and public act in view of multiple people including children. It would seem she thought she was at work, rather than at a public beach. But, you can't even tell this to a lot of the commenters in this thread. Nope. Inside Edition paints the picture of a soccer mom who is a victim, and the viewers blame the cops or the people who called them when they saw a crime happening.

Yes, so beautiful and sensitive. I guess that's why, years prior, she walked out on her family, including a 6 month old baby, in order to go lead a "wild" and "off the rails" life (words from her own family, not my words). And, then she went on a drug and crime spree for years, resulting in her felony prison term for stealing cars, and her many arrests for alcohol and drug charges, and multiple judgements against her for various thefts, and repeated failures to appear in court (including later for this incident in this video). I guess it's tough to get a straight job after all of that, because her landlord said that her "profession" was, well, one of those words that can't be posted on YouTube comments, ya know, it involves cash transactions with lots of men. And, yeah, then she went to the beach incident from this video, to put on a show in front of multiple people including children. I mean, you didn't actually believe her when she was trying to get out of her millionth arrest, did you? And, you do know Inside Edition is trash news, right?
