Real Stories

45,203 views

Labelled "America’s First Female Serial Killer," Aileen Wuornos was executed in 2002 for the murder of seven men along Florida’s highways. But behind the sensationalized tabloid headlines lies one of the most deeply corrupt, predatory, and bizarre chapters in modern true crime history.

In this investigative documentary, we uncover how everyone surrounding Wuornos—from her defense attorney and adoptive mother to high-ranking police officers—attempted to monetize her crimes through Hollywood movie deals, book contracts, and paid interviews. Was Wuornos a ruthless predator, a severely damaged woman acting in self-defense, or a pawn in a system that prioritized profits over justice?

The fact her own “family” raped her…😭

Her brother, grandfather….MY God. I can’t imagine the pain she carried most of her life.

Her story definitely hits different.

Idk for sure why but despite the horrific murders she deliberately committed I felt empathy for her. It almost seems she was created to become who she became rather than evolved to it, like she didn't stand a chance from the beginning. Tragic story for everyone involved:'(

I don’t feel like this woman deserved to die. I feel like she was abused, became a product of that abuse and then became vulnerable and easy to manipulate in the face of losing people she thought loved her. I understand that she killed people, but I don’t believe all of them were acted upon because of malicious intent. I think she acted in self defense several times and then when pressured to make more money followed the suggestions of her partner and her past abuse made it easier for her to do.

30:03 poor Aileen got failed by everyone AND had to deal with Steve singing at her

Everyone exploted her. One of the people who was buying info from cops, etc was Patty Jenkins. ( The director of Monster ) This is a sad story for the victims and Ileen. Nobody deserves to be murdered, but these dudes don't get a saint label they were looking for prostitutes. She needed help early and the system failed... Again.

The adoptive mother is a strange character

@lzal9204 2 weeks ago

Adoptive parents are creepy and greedy. I think a lot of people feel some empathy for Aileen because she never stood a chance with everyone that was in her life, including them.

Oh my what a piece of work all these people are especially the women!!! Charging to interview a murderer is INSANE!! I'm afraid for the animals in that woman's care !!

What she did was obviously evil and wrong, but I do not believe that she deserved the death penalty for that. She lived a horrific life of abuse and mental illness, and there's no reason why she should've been killed for a systemic failure.

I honestly feel bad for her . She doesn’t seem completely horrible .

Crazy to me how readily people say Aileen Wuornos “never stood a chance,” but almost nobody talks about Charles Manson that way despite his extremely abusive and unstable childhood. If Manson’s childhood doesn’t erase his agency, why should hers? Trauma can explain someone without absolving them.

@ashleekoberna5686 2 weeks ago

What’s crazy to me is the fact that she had been selling herself for YEARS, right? Well, why those guys? Why no one else in all them years? Why, if she’s as bad as people trying to make her out to be, didn’t she kill so many more? Why only them men??

The daughter kept her alive, but she's the agent..so you better pay the mother and pimp! I think I know how they obtained the child. Keep posting this sick history so we can see the original faces of trafficking, please!
