Shari Franke On Surviving Ruby Franke
from Malevolent Mormon Mommys | The Case Against Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt · host True Crime Today
This podcast episode, based on Shari Franke's memoir, The House of My Mother, explores the dark side of the "8 Passengers" YouTube channel and the Franke family's unraveling. We examine how the family's life became a performance for the internet, the increasingly controlling parenting of Ruby Franke under the influence of Jodi Hildebrandt, and the resulting abuse and neglect suffered by her children. We discuss the family's estrangement, the eventual arrests of Ruby and Jodi, and Shari's journey of healing and call for accountability. This is a story about the dangers of unchecked authority, the pressures of internet fame, and the importance of speaking out against injustice.Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
