Summary

Who’s to blame for the tragic life of Blanche Monnier?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with Zoe Friedman about Blanche Monnier and the unspeakable abuse and imprisonment she was forced to endure for over 26 years in her family home. We know some of the culprits involved, but what drove them to such madness? Was fear of losing their place in high society driving these cruel acts? Could oppressive puritanical standards be to blame? Or were they simply in too deep? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join this haunting conversation.
