BEARKING: Sherri Papini finally charged in her "kidnapping"!

I knew the bitch was lying from the start!

Lock her up! And lock her husband up, too, for going along with the lie!

So she will sell her story so they can make a movie on Lifetime?

ha ha, this story was such bs. She seems like a total narcissist

R3 A meth head.

Not me.

I was completely fooled by the story of her being kidnapped by two dykes who chained then branded her.

Something very similar happened to me.

Husband Keith Papini looked like he was smelling cookies.

I don't think the husband knew, initially, that the kidnapping was a hoax. However, I think he quickly figured out she was with her straight, ex-BF. Husband went along with the hoax. When she resurfaced, he said "Her signature long, blond hair had been chopped off." Who says that?

When this story was in the news, it lead to some funny DL threads. Not many fell for her con.

I wonder if all the freepers who gloated about Jussie will say anything about this.

I was obsessed with this case for a minute! The only reason she wasn’t charged in the first place was that Huntington Beach kidnapping that police said was a hoax but it turned out to be true and the victim sued for defamation and won a huge settlement

She was in Costa Mesa the whole time. That’s about right

"She has been branded, and I could feel the rise of her scabs under my fingers.’’

That husband was quite a dramatic writer. Are they still married?

This is interesting that they are just now arresting her. Very odd that there was such a long gap. I really assumed that the authorities were just going to " let it go" due to lack of evidence, even though they suspected she was lying.

This grifting twat got over $30,000 from the Victim Compensation Board

Who will play her in the inevitable Hulu movie?

R14 Kate McKinnon of course.

Can LE make her pay their expenses? This was taxpayer money that was wasted on this investigation. If not I would start a citizens class action suit for damages if I lived in California.

Do they have new evidence? What changed after 6 years?

Wait, you're telling me the evil Chola kidnappers aren't real?

I remember in one of the old threads someone said she was with an ex bf and the cops knew but were reluctant to charge her

Lock this cunt up. The mail fraud is especially juicy. That's the thing that is still possibly hanging over Jussie's head if the feds ever decide to charge him with it.

From the article at OP

According to US Attorney Phillip Talbert’s office, the 39-year-old from Redding was arrested on charges of making false statements to federal law enforcement and engaging in mail fraud.

Papini faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the false statements charge and up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the mail fraud charge. It was not immediately known when Papini would make a court appearance on the charges.

WHET Cameron Gamble, member of "Christian Hogwarts" and international man of mystery?

That husband was hot

My guess is (and its a guess) the ex-boyfriend finally had some reason to cooperate with the police. Maybe he had been arrested for something or had some other issue where he needed a favor and finally traded his cooperation. They probably knew she was there but needed evidence.

She looks kind of evil in this photo.

La Gordita Latina Bandida has been avenged!

OMG, all these years later they're filing charges! Betcha R23 has it right, someone finally ratted on her and is willing to testify.

I remember this case, I live about 10 miles from where she finally turned up. And I was the one to report that even though she turned up in my county, there was no sign of a womanhunt for the alleged kidnappers that had been active a few miles away, no "wanted" posters, nothing on the local news, diddly-squat! I assume the police knew it was a fraud from the start, but didn't have enough evidence to prosecute.

I can't imagine her marriage will last, having re-appeared with an ex-boyfriend's semen all over her. The story doesn't share too much but I'd have to assume the husband didn't know anything about the fake kidnapping.

She was found with bruises all over her, a "message" branded into her skin, and she had lost 18 pounds in three weeks. So it sounds like she and the ex were into some really kinky shit.

Are there any pics of the ex-bf? Couldn’t find any in my search.

r23. They found him through DNA evidence from his father. They were able to connect him to Sherri from a shared old AOL email address and then obtained his DNA from a Honest Tea bottle from his garbage and hauled him in. He had no choice but to cooperate at that point.

The husband has known about her being with the ex-bf since August of 2020, he was in the room when they confronted her about lying. If he didn't leave then, he's never leaving her. She seems to have a knack for finding these guys that will do anything for her.

It's all in the criminal complaint, a juicy read!

r30 Read the criminal complaint, it is crazy! She made her ex-bf drive hours to the Hobby Lobby and get a wood branding iron, she beat herself up and restricted her calories all to set this up. She told her ex-bf she had to get away from her husband because he was beating and raping her. I think her plan was to come out a hero and write a book and make lots of money.

I thought she had a history of racist statements against Latinos and she wanted to add to a groundswell of bigotry in 2016, when trump was running for office. But it’s been six years, who remembers.

Wonder whose spoog she's rolling in now?

Ours r35, because this is just delightfully fucking crazy! What a great insane read r32 Thanks for posting!

Did they find the ex’s semen on the new boyfriend too? Sounds HAWT!

How pathetic is Keith that he's known all this for a year and a half and is still with her? And letting her raise their kids!

Has Tawana Brawley commented?

She told her ex-boyfriend that she needed to get away because her husband (Keith) was beating and raping her repeatedly. However, she never reported that to local authorities. Keith, honey, time to break away from that crazy lady!!

[quote]Ex-Boyfriend had wanted to keep the wood burning tool, and thought he might use it to “work on wood or something,” but PAPINI told him to throw it away, and he did.

Dat's da suck job!

Sherri's mother stated that Sherri and her first husband "travelled all over the world" but the first husband said that's not true, they only travelled to Japan. Seems like Sherri and the family have trouble with the truth.

Maybe it's Sherri's husband who ratted her out!

She's crazy, and you don't play fair if you need to divorce a crazy person. If you want favorable terms and custody of the kids, get them sent to jail where they can't make your life a living hell.

Or more witnesses and corroborating evidence came up, r23?

The husband is cute but how can he stay married to her and let her raise their kids?!

The details in the criminal complaint are hilarious- the Latinas speak too fast, she can only understand puta and friolenta, they blare loud Mariachi music all day-"that annoying Mexican music", they feed her only dirty rice and tortillas. Poor Sherri was being tortured by these evil Latinas!

She was with an ex. His testimony is damning.

R45

She never really raised the kids. They were in daycare while she did things like wrap Christmas presents and go jogging.

How did the ex-boyfriend think that bruising her all over, getting her down to a skeletal 87 pounds, and branding her, then abandoning her by the side of the road to be found and returned would help her to escape her "abusive husband"?

That husband is sexy. He would never hurt anyone, I can tell. I will comfort you, Keith.

She wanted some of the ex’s hard cock.

Meanwhile, husband would rather be thought straight, married to crazy, than suspected a cookie sniffer.

Why did she do it?

[quote] When she resurfaced, he said "Her signature long, blond hair had been chopped off." Who says that?

A liar, a crook and/or a narcissist. How does an unknown person have a "signature" anything? And yes, I distinctly remember laughing with my sister about the ridiculousness of that remark.

God, this whole thing sounds like the plot of "Gone Girl."

I remember she disappeared during the 2016 presidential campaign, and her MAGA mother posted more on Twitter about loving Trump than she did about being worried about her missing daughter. Pretty sure even mom knew her daughter was full of shit.

She should be charged with a hate crime. She hates Latin women, that's why she made up that stupid story about being kidnapped by deranged cholas (even though 99% of kidnappers are men)

I remember her mother was posting restaurant recommendations for visitors coming to town for some event. Of course, her mother knew something was up. Sherri had pulled a similar disappearing act when she was 19 or so.

And don't forget Sherri's white supremacist blog posts

It's awful that she won't be able to tour with her sisters.

Thanks to the posters above who posted the complaint. (R32, etc.)

IMO, she did hate Hispanics. However, her story about being kidnapped was long and boring.

Cut to the part where the ex-BF describes what they did together. He's full of shit and nuts, in his own way. He makes hours-long road trips with her lying down in the back seat. He claims they never had sex. He claims she slept in one of the bedrooms and he slept on the couch (even though it's a 2-BR apt.). She boards up the window in the bedroom, cuts her hair, never leaves the apartment. Ex-BF must've been starved for pussy prior to this shenanigan. This went on for weeks, IIRC.

The MAGA mother already has a publicist speaking for her:

— “We love Sherri and are appalled by the way in which law enforcement ambushed her (Thursday) afternoon in a dramatic and unnecessary manner in front of her children," the family said in the statement released through a publicist.

She would have come to the police station if asked, the family said, “where this could have been handled in a more appropriate way.”—

How dare they arrest her for something she actually did!

She has a lot of gum showing while smiling.,very unfortunate

she probably thought after five years the cops would never arrest her, haha

Yes, it's a wonder her prominent gums were not reported as her "signature" looks wise.

Leave my wife's signature gummy smile alone, bitches!

R62 Yeah, I actually would have assumed that the statute of limitations had expired by now but evidently not.

She's lost the light behind her signature crazy eyes!

One of the old Papini threads. This bit seems accurate:

Back when she was found and the investigation went nowhere, it was becoming clear that this is something she orchestrated. But LE up in Redding didn't/couldn't pursue because her case had essentially eaten through Shasta County's LE budget. They basically didn't have the money to investigate her possible involvement. Investigating her wouldn't have been a popular political move either. She's a victim! WAH! I think FBI involvement will be key here.

Another of the old Papini threads. Lots of good stuff including:

A wonderful day for her husband and family indeed, OP. They just scammed $50,000 out of trusting people and get to keep it all for themselves. What a Merry Christmas this will be for them!

That's a lot of money to payback. Perhaps Sherri can apply for a job as a server at a Mexican restaurant?

I'm sure Sherri will be very popular with the ladies in prison. She can get a chola girlfriend.

We know what her chola gf will look like

[quote]I actually would have assumed that the statute of limitations had expired by now

There IS no statute of limitations for being an ASSHOLE.

This okie wine mom housewife cunt and her insulting, sexist marriage pic layout. My GOD. Here’s me struggling to hold the American flag like a child and my big hubby holding it up for me. Or her in his arms staring back at the camera? Fuck.

Little woman!

Oh yeah

That picture at R75 is so sinister.

That is definitely a case where someone completely inbred looking is saved by nice hair ^ Cut off her “signature blond locks” and she looks like Gummo

Her husband looks like that ass whore Bryan Hawn.

Is he carrying her away to be his underworld bride? Strange photo to post anywhere.

R77, true. And the reason she was wearing those bangs is because she has a major fivehead. Or, as her husband might say, a signature fivehead.

R74 Jesus Christ, those choppers are the stuff of nightmares.

She looks complete psycho and practically albino too. It's like the neo-nazis created her in a pod.

R78, maybe he'll have to peddle his ass like Bryan now that they'll have to pay back all that money they grifted

The remark about her "signature blonde hair" was hilarious. Is her husband Brad Mondo?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

has the husband left her ass yet?

That ex boyfriend is creepy as hell. The husband is so damn cute with that smile, and crooked nose, adam's apple, and sexy bulge. Damn.

I am so confused. Her ex’s name is James Reyes? So she is ok with Mexican guys just not Mexican girls? Her ex is fug

[quote] She would have come to the police station if asked, the family said, “where this could have been handled in a more appropriate way.”—

It would have been 'appropriate' to kick her in the cunt, handcuff her and drag her by whatever remains of her "signature long blonde hair" through the street to the police station. I hate MAGAts!

She said she was held in captivity for two weeks and beaten by two Mexican women, and to be fair her ex is about the size of two Mexican women

This update made my week. I grew up near Redding, still know people there and there was a HUGE outpouring of sympathy for this deplorable white cunt. Haha to everyone who lost money for her “poor family”.

interesting. This articles states that her husband was aware of her ruse. I wonder if he will be charged as well? and the ex boyfriend?

Federal prosecutors in California also claim in court papers Papini used $49,070 donated through the “Bring Sherri Home Safe” GoFundMe page, toward credit card debt and other personal expenses. It appears her husband Keith, and an unnamed ex-boyfriend, were at least aware of her ruse.

Gummy and Dummy were totally in the scam together.

I don't think the husband was in on it from the start. I think she later admitted it to him and he kept going rather than turning her in.

Her Costa Mesa apartment boyfriend sounds rather...simple.

He looks like Chum Lee from Pawn Stars

The docs show the feds stated to her it’s a crime to lie to fed agents and she did anyway = dumb five headed gummy

Did she have a lawyer present at that 2020 questioning session? If not, she's dumber than dirt. Surely, they didn't walk into it for 8

"Surely, they didn't walk into it for 8 "

R98 What does that mean?

[quote]Shauhin Davari dated Papini when he was 15 and she was 20. He was not interviewed by federal investigators but spoke to reporters about the relationship, telling the Sacramento Bee on Thursday that Papini was a habitual liar.

It's weird that a 20-year old would date a 15-year old. Also, it's hilarious that she explained the ex-bf's semen on her underwear as this scenario:

[quote}Until May 2018, Keith Papini called federal investigators with updates from his wife as she revealed more details about her supposed captors. In the final update, he said his wife remembered one of her kidnappers trying to pour a sticky substance down her throat. He said she “wiped her mouth off with her underwear” and then fell asleep, leaving the substance on her underwear, according to the affidavit.

I hate when that happens!

I really feel for the husband, up to a certain point. He seemed like a simpleton who truly loved this psycho, then he eventually began to unravel as well. I wonder what he's truly like now? Pyscho like her? Or just mentally beaten down after these years of crazy emotional turmoil..

Did she really think the DNA wouldn't be traced? Idiot

R102 Papini's brain is the size of a...papini.

No, I can imagine that Papini never thought anyone would look at the DNA, she probably never realized that the story of her kidnapping would be as big as it was. And she probably also thought that the cops would believe anything that she said, as they're mostly straight men, and if they traced her to the ex-BF then she could say he was in league with the kidnappers.

She was a pretty young blonde from the sticks, she'd probably spent her whole life without hearing a peep of disagreement from a straight man, except when she said "no". She may not have realized that they could become long-term enemies, if messed with enough.

Here is the guy she dated when she was 20 and he was 15, she likes her men hairy.

She sounds like a textbook case of borderline personality disorder

R105 If she dated him when she was 20 and he was 15, that's statutory rape.

Only if you are a man. If you are a woman, you get a pass.

R100 I usually remember to wipe my mouth with my underwear before bed except when I've had a very long and exhausting day. Then I'll just do it in the morning. I know that it's recommended to do so before you go to sleep but sometimes I'm just too worn out!

LOL, she "got a pass" because he never reported it. It's not like she went on trial and was found not guilty. His main objection to her seems to be to her being a compulsive liar. Most teen boys consider themselves lucky to have sex with an older woman.

She's gross. And a hebephile. Blech!! Husb should dna test those kids.

Someone needs to tell this Keith fella that he doesn't have to live vicariously through his wife's stories of semen being poured down her throat, plenty of guys would be willing to do that for him.

My Tot Mom coverage was better than this “Supermom” bullshit story.

She has a hearing today. I assume to see whether she'll get bail or not. Part of me wants her locked up until trial and the other part wants her out on bail so she's followed by the press and hounded.

The sheriff said that "others" may be charged by the grand jury. I assume Keith and the duped accomplice ex are among them. These are just the Fed charges. Presumably, the GoFundMe fraud will be next. Keith used some of those funds to pay off his credit card. I'll bet her mother and sister (who dubbed Sherri "super mom) are plenty pissed at the prospect of having to care for her kids while the grifter parents are locked up.

If she wasn’t fooling around with the ex boyfriend why make up an elaborate story and why did she want to hide out?

The boyfriend’s dna was on her underwear, they most likely were fooling around

R115 People who've known her for years say she's always made up outrageous stories for attention. She's mentally ill. That said, she needs to face justice for her crime.

I can actually understand somebody who does this stuff better than I can fathom the people who are drawn into it and support, abet, and defend the person. That's what really boggles my mind. With the first person, they're sick. Fine. But what of the others?

She, like Jussie Smollett, should pay restitution for what it cost to investigate their bogus stories. The City of Chicago is looking for him to pay $130,000.

Her search costs are reported to be $150K.

R119 Hubby's gonna need to take on a lotta extra shifts at Best Buy to pay that debt.

I’ll take one Sherri Papini, one scotch and one beer.

Her signature criminality.

Sympathetic Netflix Series in 3, 2, 1.....

LOL, netflix isn't going to portray a white supremacist con artist as sympathetic. No one is defending her.

I hope Keith has to start an OF to pay off the debts.

Her signature long pink gums

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Her entire family were victims to her narcissistic behavior and they're suddenly her enablers? What a picture of willful stupidity and insanity. Circling wagons don't necessarily mean the family is on her side, though. I hope they use her past behavior as a way to torture her:

Sherri Papini has a history of instability, anger, acting out, and extreme narcissistic behavior, including flirtations with white supremacist men (who likely didn't give her the time of day, recognizing she's a shithouse rat) on white nationalist blogs (why can't I be proud 'cuz I'm white?) As a teen, she self-mutilated and blamed the parents. She stole money from a father's bank account. She kicked in the back door of her mother's house. She did shitty manipulations with her sister.

All chronicled by local law enforcement. Her mother called the Sheriff's asking how to deal with her delinquent daughter moving back in. Her youth program coordinator noted she was the only pupil/participant that staff were afraid of.

This has all been out there for the six years since she perpetrated the scam. One can only hope the Daily Mail dredges this all up, because it's what they do.

BTW, her release was only on $120K bond. $30K less than it took Shasta County to search for her sorry vagina.

I always wonder about the enabling friends who protect her from the news reporters.

Do they think they're helping? Do they realize she seriously needs to see a shrink?

Friendship can only go so far!

[quote]Part of me wants her locked up until trial and the other part wants her out on bail so she's followed by the press and hounded.

The other part of you got its wish, complete with fake wails at the end.

I don't know how they ran like that without tripping. I feel a bit cheated.

R7, meanwhile, the stupid fraus of WebSleuths actually believed her story and that she was going to be human trafficked.

That video was disabled pretty immediately, r130.

I found it very weird that the Papini family communications are coming from a paid Utah PR firm. How or why?

You can still watch it on YouTube. When you get the "video unavailable" message, the link is at the bottom.

I'm glad she got bail because she'll become quite aware of just how pissed off everyone is at her.

R128 I was only commenting on the behavior I saw in the video clip of her leaving jail. The bent over posture, the loud wails, the looonnng run to the car. Look, if it was me, and my sister/friend was Sherri Papini, I’d make sure she didn’t stunt like that. I’d also have Gramps bring the car right to the door for the shortest walk possible.

I had read about the self-mutilation in an article , but you seem to know a lot more insider dirt…do tell!

What a drama queen. My eyes rolled so hard. The over-the-top sobbing is too much. She isnt sorry, just embarrassed

I love how her "friends" are trying to cover their own faces as they rush her to the car. Even they don't want to be identified as her friends.

You just know she is LOVING all this attention. Pretending to hate the spotlight is all part of the game.

R131, even at websleuths a lot of people didn't believe her. Some did, and made up a lot of stupid theories (Latino gangs targeted her because of her social media posts! Those same gangs magically guessed where and when she'd be jogging that day!) but even a lot of the people who believed her initially started to change their minds

She was released on bail with her signature toxic personality

"Her entire family were victims to her narcissistic behavior and they're suddenly her enablers? What a picture of willful stupidity and insanity. Circling wagons don't necessarily mean the family is on her side, though. I hope they use her past behavior as a way to torture her:"

Honey, if the family is trying to protect her from the consequences of her actions, they're still enablers.

^ Don't forget that her mom is a Trumpster, too

I wish federal trials were broadcast especially to see her signature gums but maybe she would mask?

According to her friend, Sherri did it all for love:

[quote]Sherri Papini’s former colleague threw her support behind the California “super mom” accused of staging her own abduction — saying love makes you do “crazy things.”

[quote]Speaking to The Post from her home in Redding, Calif., Joyce Travis applauded Papini, even after prosecutors accused her of sparking a three-week manhunt in 2016 while she allegedly hid out with a former boyfriend.

[quote]“We are all so quick to judge but everybody makes mistakes,” said Travis, who worked with Papini at a local AT&T store.

[quote]“She obviously made a huge mistake but she followed her heart and did what she thought she had to do to be with someone that loved her and she loved back. That’s not an easy thing to find in this world.”

[quote]But she said she could understand why Papini would’ve risked it all for a shot at love.

[quote]She recalled running into Keith while running errands around town. “Keith said, ‘She’s doing fine. She’s very jumpy because she’s got PTSD and it’s going to take some time for her to come back to normal,'” Travis said.

I find this story so bizarre and fascinating, the ex-bf was a Sasquatch.

Apparently, deliberately staging a kidnapping and trying to blame it on the kind of minorities you dislike is just a "mistake"

[quote]“... she followed her heart and did what she thought she had to do to be with someone that loved her and she loved back. That’s not an easy thing to find in this world.”

You're telling me.

Keith would rather be a cuckolded stooge than admit he's gay. Of course.

So she had to become a criminal to get back w/Sasquatch? Hogwash

She's goin' back to court today, folks! Be prepared for lots of sobbing and theatrics!

I wonder if Dearest Hubby will turn on her.

R150 I read that they're not living together anymore, so I hope that means "yes."

R150 Her husband wasn't waiting for her when she was released from prison and came running out before collapsing in a pool of tears, so I have a feeling he's said "fuck her" and is now at home browsing through Grindr, looking for a hot surfer dude with signature blonde hair.

She's pleading guilty

Will she have to chop off her signature blonde hair when she goes to prison?

Will the hubby make a statement? Or is he now in danger of being arrested for using the money he and the psycho got from the victim's fund?

Does anyone think she will get prison time? Or just have to pay back a lot of fines and community service? I hope she goes to jail.

R156 They're saying she'll get 14 months for pleading guilty. Otherwise, she was facing 5 to 15 years.

I hope she'll be ordered to pay restitution, as well.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R158 He's also doing his best not to have to pay back any of that victim's compensation money he took full advantage of.

She is looking rough, she is going to be screwed when she can't use her looks to manipulate.

She still hasn't been sentenced

She was just sentenced to 18 months in state prison! Even more time than the District Attorney asked for!

She's having a bad day.

R162 here, that's Federal prison she's going to!

I still think the husband was hot. I know, I know - I can't help it, though.

I want to sniff the husband's buttocks!
