MOM of BRITTNEY HISLOPE'S FIRST LOVE (NOT KOHBERGER) TELLS ALL

from Dr. Carole's Couch · host Dr. Carole Lieberman

Bryan Kohberger finally has a woman who isn't rejecting him. Indeed, Brittney Hislope declares that she is lovesick for him and sends him love letters and sexy photos. But, Bryan wasn't her first prison romance. Her first love was Cody Hall, in prison in Kentucky, after being convicted of a deadly 2017 shooting and machete attack. Brittney was just as lovesick for Cody as she now claims to be for Bryan. She sent Cody love letters and visited him until Cody realized that she was too over the top, even for a man facing 23 lonely years in prison. Today's guest, Donna Hubbard, Cody's mom, courageously steps forward to tell the true story of Brittney's obsession with her son. Donna wrote, My son was convicted of murder, something I'm not proud of, but it is what it is. She became obsessed with him. Showed up at his court hearings, went to the jail, put money on his books. He was gonna play her along for commissary, again not proud, but she showed up for a visit one day and told him she loved him more than she loved her own child. That was finally when my son said enough. She would not stop. I finally recorded a video of him telling her he wanted nothing to do with her because when I told her she said I was a liar. After watching the video, she claimed the jail and me made him record it. She definitely has mental health issues and extreme narcissism." Donna is a strong mental health advocate and states that the system failed her son. If they hadn't let him fall through the cracks, he wouldn't be in prison today. Dr. Carole wrote an open-letter to Brittney, after being asked by Newsweek to address her obsession with Bryan Kohberger. Dr. Carole's bestselling award-winning book, Bad Boys: Why We Love Them, How to Live with Them and When to Leave Them, has a chapter on The Lethal Lover, which explains the phenomenon of women falling in love with men in prison.
