FAM!!! We had A LOT to say about this documentary, along with some differing opinions between the two of us, so strap in for a super-sized roller coaster of an episode today!
Lauryn and her boyfriend Owen were just young teens (13!!) when they started receiving harassing, disturbing, and disgusting text messages from an unknown source. The identity of the texter has been blowing minds across the whole damn internet, but in case you haven't heard, we won't spoil it here, but... your mind will be blown, too.
And you can check out the article in The Cut we reference here.
