Sherri Papini Revises Abduction Story in Docuseries

Sherri Papini, who made headlines in 2016 for her claim of being abducted by two Hispanic women, now alleges in the docuseries 'Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie' that her ex-boyfriend James Reyes abducted her after she tried to end their affair. This marks Papini's first public interview since admitting in court that the kidnapping was a hoax to conceal the relationship, for which she served less than a year in prison. Papini's therapist supports her latest claims, though investigators and prosecutors continue to assert she staged the ordeal, citing DNA evidence and Reyes' testimony that she stayed with him voluntarily. The story has been the subject of multiple documentaries, with earlier productions focusing on the original hoax and its impact on Papini's family. In the docuseries, Papini says fear motivated her initial lies and she is now seeking joint custody of her children. The renewed allegations have reignited debate over her credibility and the true events of 2016.
