release the hounds…
I've rather have an infectious STD than her for a daughter.
Carlee wasn’t expecting to go viral. That’s why her plan failed, the whole world started looking for her and that’s not what she wanted. She wanted to just disappear
She did not make a "mistake" she made a (bad) CHOICE
Pray for her??? I prayed when she went “missing” !!!! She has ruined her reputation. She deserves anything that comes to her at this point.
Her and the alphabet group are equally sane!
Nothing stunning about it
disgusting! who is there to blame?
… made a mistake…
So…Candace Owens was right
Again.
I hope she gets the mental health care she so obviously and desperately needs, as well as the jail-time she’s earned and deserves.
Carlee asking for prayers?
Prayers for what?
She is so self centered.
Pray for her? Get real.
LOCK HER UP!!!!!
Don't forget what she researches on google……how to steal from cash registers and not get caught.
Ridiculous POS!!!!
Crazy just get some help babygirl please
If this was my daughter I will make her go in front of the media and apologize to everyone, not care if she's 25, parents have to teach their children to own their mistakes and face the consequences
She needs jail time. Anything less will teach her nothing. She is an adult who premeditated this nonsense and was fully aware of what she was doing. I'm sure because she's black she thinks she can do anything and just cry racism and not be held accountable for her immature actions. LOCK HER UP!!!!
Just seeking attention. Now she got all she asked for and more.
Why must we assume she has mental health issues can it not be she is just like alot of people and she was just looking for attention
Need put her in jail for wasting ppl tax payment.
And wasting 911 resources for search for her and make ppl wasting time look for her.
Lock her up
There was a case where a white lady lied she got kidnapped by 2 Mexican women. She was charge and sentence to 18 months in jail and pay $310,000. This black lady needs to be charge too. Face jail time and pay for all the wasted resources and time.
Thank God the baby is safe. 👶🏼
It didn't say anything about why she did it. Just for attention? Or is she suffering from a mental disorder? Whatever it is, she still needs to be charged.
Why would you cry worth?
Next time, it happens for real then nobody will believe.
She is incredibly selfish! A lot of people, including myself, prayed for her! She is selfish for putting her family through that!! It wasn't a mistake. You knew what you were doing!!
make sure counseling is ordered
Wow 😳 Dirty lying witch. With all the B.S. going on in America ,she should be tried and convicted so that the next person that think this is a game will be charged and sent to jail ; and have to pay restitution for wasting tax payers money.
Is it true that she did this to get the attention of her boyfriend that was ignoring her?
Well at least she didn't go the jussie smollet way by maintaining her lies against all the evidence. I wonder what the motive is
The black/brown/afrian/ american community finally gets the proper coverage needed that whites get when it came to kidnappings and all she did was made any future REAL kidnappings with the same race be severely questioned before anything will be done. I knew she was guilty when she stayed hold up in that house. She knew she messed up and didnt think it would get major nation news. The states moved and spared nothing to believe her story & search for her but She may have just ruined it for those future victims. I hope she learns from this and is brought to justice.
Typical. Just like Jessie and the billion dollar powerball winner that lied. They all lie and cheat
She made a "mistake"???????
D.U.H.
Black people and people born 2000 and above going crazy lately
THis was an obvious hoax and the MSM played it up for the racism narrative. White dude with "orange" hair? She played you all for the fools you are.
I didn’t believe her story for one second!
You clowns at NBC are responsible for this behavior
Black Lives Matter, Carlee Russell’s doesn’t
🤦♂️
Wow
I’m shocked 😮 😂😂😂
SEND HER TO FUQQIN JAIL
Carlee is getting NO prayers, her friends and family sure, but her, no ma’am.
She should pay Hefty fine and ordered to get psychiatric help ☹️🙏🏼
