Summary

When a Michigan teenager became the target of relentless cyberbullying, no one expected the perpetrator to be her own mother. Netflix’s Unknown Number tells the shocking true story of Kendra Licari, a woman who catfished her daughter for over a year, sending thousands of anonymous messages filled with cruelty and manipulation. This week on Unscripted, Natalie and Paige dive into the documentary that has stunned viewers and sparked nationwide outrage. How did it happen, and why? From digital deception to psychological abuse, we break down the disturbing layers of a case that’s as heartbreaking as it is horrifying.
