Summary

In this week’s episode, Lo is joined by none other than the talented Hayley Orrantia—actress, singer, and fellow true crime junkie—as they dive deep into the haunting world of The Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke. If you’ve been following the shocking case of Ruby Franke, the disgraced mommy vlogger who pleaded guilty to child abuse, this three-part Hulu documentary offers chilling new insights that go far beyond the headlines. Together, Lo and Hayley unpack the disturbing details of Franke’s life, which included her cruel and manipulative behavior on camera and behind closed doors. Through interviews with Franke’s two oldest children and unreleased footage, we see the dark side of a family that once appeared to be picture-perfect online. But Devil isn't just another tabloid story—it’s a careful, poignant exploration of control, faith, and the blurred lines between performance and reality in the world of YouTube fame. Lo and Hayley reflect on their own childhoods and examine the complex issues at play, including the role of organized religion and cult-like behavior in shaping the Franke family’s tragic downfall. They ask the tough questions: How much of this was really about faith? And where do we draw the line between fame and exploitation? With its jaw-dropping moments and raw, unreleased footage, The Devil in the Family is far more than just a crime documentary. It’s a deep dive into the psychological toll of living a life for the camera and the dangerous consequences of fame in the digital age. But, is this documentary Lo Life approved? Tune in to find out! Get ready for a thought-provoking conversation that goes beyond the crime itself and into the heart of what happens when we allow the boundaries of real life and online performance to collide.
