Shari Franke, the eldest daughter of YouTuber Ruby Franke, recently spoke out against the upcoming Lifetime movie *Mormon Mom Gone Wrong: The Ruby Franke Story*, which dramatizes the events surrounding her mother’s child abuse conviction. Shari, now estranged from her mother, criticized the movie in a social media post, calling it “trash” and emphasizing its potential harm to her siblings.
Shari posted her reaction on Instagram after seeing the film’s trailer unexpectedly. She described how the moment triggered an “anxiety attack,” explaining, “I saw the trailer suddenly in class and had an anxiety attack. None of us were contacted about the movie. None of the proceeds are going to the kids.” Shari continued, “This movie is trash, and only hurts my siblings more,” before urging her followers, “Please do not support this movie.”
The film, starring Emilie Ullerup as Ruby Franke and Heather Locklear as her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, chronicles the downfall of Ruby, who gained online fame as a family vlogger before her arrest in 2023. Both Ruby and Jodi were convicted of child abuse following a harrowing incident in which Ruby’s 12-year-old son escaped Hildebrandt’s home, visibly malnourished and bound, prompting police intervention.
Ruby’s arrest marked the culmination of years of alleged abuse, which Shari, in previous Instagram posts, claimed her family had tried reporting to authorities for a long time. Following the arrests, Shari had written, “Today has been a big day. Me and my family are so glad justice is being served. We've been trying to tell the police and CPS for years about this, and so glad they finally decided to step up.”
Shari’s criticism highlights a growing frustration among people directly impacted by true crime stories that are commercialized without consent. As true crime adaptations surge in popularity, the ethical considerations of dramatizing real-life traumas, especially involving minors, are increasingly scrutinized.
Ruby Franke’s case became a topic of national interest when her son’s escape revealed conditions of severe neglect and abuse. Prosecutors detailed how Ruby’s two youngest children were found in poor physical condition, sparking outrage and leading to Ruby and Jodi’s conviction and subsequent prison sentences. According to Shari, the ongoing media attention, now through Lifetime’s film, has made it difficult for her and her siblings to heal. “It only hurts my siblings more,” she reiterated.
As *Mormon Mom Gone Wrong: The Ruby Franke Story* approaches its October 26 premiere, Shari’s plea calls attention to the often-overlooked perspective of family members left to pick up the pieces. Her statement serves as a reminder of the ethical complexities surrounding such portrayals, particularly when minors are involved, and highlights the need for sensitivity in these adaptations.
The film’s creators have yet to respond publicly to Shari’s comments. Whether her message will impact the movie's viewership remains to be seen, but her words underscore the real-world impacts that these dramatizations can have on those closest to the story.

The Washington County Attorney’s Office has unveiled a trove of videos and documents shedding light on the harrowing child abuse case involving popular parent blogger Ruby Franke. From diaries to disturbing videos, the evidence paints a grim picture of the abuse inflicted upon Franke's children and the religious fervor that allegedly fueled it.
Franke, alongside her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, faced charges related to the aggravated abuse of Franke's children, a case that unfolded with shocking revelations and subsequent legal action.
In the newly released documents, prosecutors underscore the role of "religious extremism" as a driving force behind the abuse perpetrated by Franke and Hildebrandt. Franke's handwritten diary entries chronicle months of torment inflicted upon her children, detailing tactics such as withholding food and oxygen, forcing outdoor confinement, and inflicting physical harm.
One particularly distressing video, released by the attorney’s office, captures Franke's 12-year-old son, malnourished and wounded, seeking help from a neighbor after escaping confinement. The footage offers a stark glimpse into the dire circumstances endured by the children.
Additionally, jailhouse calls between Franke and her estranged husband, Kevin Franke, reveal the emotional turmoil and denial that characterized the aftermath of her arrest. In a poignant exchange, Ruby attributes her predicament to the influence of evil forces, lamenting the loss of everything she holds dear.
"Satan has taken everything away from me that I love," Ruby expressed in one call, reflecting on her plight from behind bars. Her husband, Kevin, responded with reassurance, vowing to uphold truth within their family amidst the turmoil.
The case culminated in sentencing for Franke and Hildebrandt, with each facing prison terms for their roles in the abuse. Despite Franke's pleas and denials, evidence presented by prosecutors painted a grim portrait of the suffering endured by her children, underscoring the gravity of the charges.
As the details of the case continue to emerge, the community grapples with the implications of such egregious abuse and the pursuit of justice for the victims. The Washington County Attorney’s Office remains steadfast in its commitment to transparency and accountability, providing a sobering glimpse into the dark realities of child abuse and the quest for closure in its aftermath.

In an episode that reads more like a thriller novel than a family court case, "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" delves into the twisted tale of Ruby Franke and Kevin Franke, with Robin Dreeke lending his expertise on the bewildering dynamics at play. Here's a snapshot of the conversation, distilled into its most eyebrow-raising essence:
Kevin Franke's Cluelessness: A bewildering state of apparent ignorance concerning the depth of dysfunction and alleged abuse happening under Jody Hildebrandt's roof. The question hangs: Is ignorance bliss or just plain ignorance?The Formation of an Anti-Male Cult: Ruby Franke and Jody Hildebrandt, described as creating a vortex of unhealthy behavior, seemingly manifested an anti-male agenda, with Kevin as a bystander—or perhaps, a casualty.Legal Lapses and Parental Passivity: Kevin Franke's baffling lack of legal action to reclaim his children from what many would consider a volatile situation raises more than a few eyebrows and questions about parental responsibility—or the lack thereof.Paranormal Deflections: When faced with serious allegations of child abuse, Kevin's recourse to paranormal activities as a distraction—or explanation—adds an eerie layer to an already complex case.The Cult-like Dynamics: Echoing notorious cult activities, the Franke case seems to check all the boxes: charismatic leadership, isolation, exploitation, and a hint of sexual undertones, painting a grim picture of manipulation and control.A Failure to Act: Kevin's inaction, potentially driven by fear or manipulation, stands as a stark reminder of how powerful groupthink and cult-like influence can be, especially when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable.#RubyFrankeSaga

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, unpacks the bewildering world of the Franke family, touching upon the surreal supernatural beliefs that enveloped their lives. Here's what they unearthed:
Supernatural Shenanigans: The Franke's, entangled with their neighbor Jody Hildebrandt, experienced phenomena akin to a horror movie—plates flying and unexplained noises—attributed to demonic forces.Cult Dynamics: Scott delves into the cult-like influence Jody wielded, transforming mundane mishaps into devilish deeds, showcasing the power of groupthink and paranoia.Emotional vs. Rational Thinking: The conversation highlights how emotional thinking, fueled by fear of Satan and reinforced by group dynamics, led to bizarre interpretations of everyday occurrences.The Power of Suggestion: Analogies to ghost stories at slumber parties illustrate how easily humans can be led to believe in the supernatural, especially when bolstered by a collective narrative.Real-World Paranoia: Scott shares personal anecdotes to demonstrate how consuming certain media can skew perceptions, turning the innocuous into the insidious, paralleling the Franke's descent into irrational fear.#FrankeFamilyParanormal

In a riveting episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Jennifer Coffindaffer, a retired FBI Special Agent, peels back the layers of the perplexing case involving Ruby Franke, her estranged husband Kevin, and the eerie influence of Jodi Hildebrandt. With a tone that could cut through steel, Coffindaffer casts a critical eye over Kevin's claims of shock and ignorance regarding the unsettling events in Ruby's home, raising eyebrows and red flags alike. Here’s the scoop:
Kevin's "Shocked" Stance: Despite Ruby's alarming behavior and her connection with Jodi Hildebrandt, Kevin insists he was merely a bystander, estranged and oblivious, fueling Coffindaffer’s skepticism.The Estrangement Excuse: Coffindaffer isn't buying Kevin's portrayal as the passive, unaware husband, hinting at a deeper involvement or, at the very least, a willful ignorance rooted in his own choices.Family Dynamics Under Scrutiny: The discussion highlights the alleged dynamics within the LDS community, questioning the plausibility of Kevin's hands-off approach given the traditional male-dominant family structure.A Question of Character: Coffindaffer points to a body cam footage incident as revealing Kevin’s true priorities—seeking charges against his own daughter over familial concern.Supernatural Deflections: Kevin's venture into the supernatural as an explanation for household disturbances is met with a healthy dose of skepticism by Coffindaffer, suggesting a strategic defense maneuver rather than genuine belief.#HiddenKillersPodcast

In a gripping episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," guest Shavaun Scott, psychotherapist and author, delves into the harrowing saga of the Franke family. Ruby and Kevin Franke, once the seemingly benign faces behind the popular YouTube channel Eight Passengers, are now at the heart of a chilling child abuse scandal, with their neighbor Jody Hildebrandt playing a significant, and sinister, role. Here's a condensed overview of their discussion:
Harrowing Revelations: Recent document and data dumps have unveiled distressing details of child abuse within the Franke household, drawing parallels to historical atrocities.Incomprehensible Parenting: Scott reflects on the disturbing treatment of the Franke children, struggling to comprehend how any parent could inflict such suffering.Cult-Like Dynamics: The conversation highlights Jody Hildebrandt's cult leader-like influence over the Frankie family, exacerbating Ruby and Kevin's preexisting personality flaws.Ruby's Radical Shift: Ruby's phone calls depict a drastic change in her stance towards Jody, raising questions about the authenticity of her transformation or the psychological turmoil she's experiencing.Kevin's Peculiar Position: Despite the Mormon belief system that typically places men at the head of the household, Kevin Franke's passive acceptance of Ruby and Jody's dictates starkly contradicts this norm, illustrating his unusual and troubling compliance.Legal Oddities: The absence of legal barriers preventing Kevin from seeing his children, yet his choice to comply with Ruby and Jody's demands, points to Jody's significant control and manipulation.#FrankeFamilyScandal
