Moral of the story: never trust a paolo. Paolo from friends, paolo from Lizzie McGuire, and paolo from this video 🤣
OMG
"But it's Paulo" -Rachel Green 😫😂
Lmao
LMFAO 😭😭😭
"SiNg tU Mi PAuLoH!?"
🤣🤣🤣
I think Bonita deserves a award for not getting out of the car and not flipping out on him. For her to put the two children's well being first..now that is class👏
i could not agree with you more. Thinking about them eventho she is really hurt by this. She deserves respect. I dont know if i could do the same🥺
That’s what I thought. I always feel heartbroken when children fall in the crossfire of adult issues
Amen!
Oh absolutely a woman of class.
Absolutely!!!!
A quote from bojack horseman comes to mind:
"When you look at someone through rose coloured glasses, all the red flags just look like flags."
Another quote is “When people show you who they are, believe them”
Maya Angelou.
That's a great quote!
Ah, Bojack Horseman, a philosopher of the times
@@marypeterson8118 he ju tyyy y hey
“Like in a movie” literally like a movie, there’s a hella twist.
I'm so bewildered with the fact that no one checked his credentials. How have I had to go through background checks to work retail jobs, but this man was cutting people open without anyone checking a thing?
I had to go through background checks to wash floors and scrub toilets!
The privilege of the educated.
I think it's probably because he was a doctor that almost served as proof of his credentials. Even though there have been plenty of doctors who have harmed and abused people and patients. I'm from the UK and there was a doctor here called "Harold Shipman" who used his position as a general practitioner/doctor to kill elderly patients, usually with morphine overdoses. He was trusted enough that the families of some victims gave permission for him to enter their homes and treat them. It took many years for him to be identified as a serial killer because of the trust placed in him by so many people that they never questioned him when he told a victims family that their relative had died.
@@danielmorris6523 my god this is awful, i hope he was convicted
@@valehuber2232 Shipman committed suicide in Wakefield Prison.
But why does life imitate art? All Lizzie McGuire and this video taught me about Italian men named Paolo is that they are not to be trusted 🙃
LMAO THIS NEEDS TO BE THE PINNED COMMENT
Honestly, you can just shorten it to all Italian men. In my experience it doesn't matter what their name is.
And Friends!! Rachel was dating an Italian man named Paolo and he hit on Phoebe!
LMAOOOO YOU WON THIS COMMENT SECTION
How did I not make the connection 😭 this comment is gold!
new fear unlocked: getting a procedure or care from a doctors or surgeon that has no clue what they’re doing
😭😭
Welcome to the world of health care? Entirely not on the same level but I did have a procedure which put me in so much pain that if someone said, it could all end tonight, I might well have taken them up on it. For more than a year I went to the surgeon, to the emergency room and complained about it, finally I self removed what was done. The surgeon stood over me contemptuously and brushed off my final telling of how all my complaints had disappeared once the removal was done. He was so dismissive, a true narcissist..
That is not a new fear
There's a podcast I listened to recently called Dr.Death and jfc, this combined with that podcast made me so paranoid of surgeons help
I’ve become aware of this more and more lately, it’s truly terrifying. Medical malpractice kills so many people each year.
Wait, he used the same “my enemies are after me” line as the Tinder Swindler… is there some kind of club or guidebook these people are involved with 😭
Tinder Swindler? Perfecto next video 👍🏻
I was thinking of the Tinder Swindler as well!
@@breakfastattiffanys741 it’s on netflix but i’m sure there are documentaries on youtube too
The narcissist handbook
Definitely thought that too 🤪😂
Update for anyone looking for it: Paolo Macchiarini was convicted of one count of “causing bodily harm,” a felony, in a Swedish court in June 2022. The district court in Solna found Paolo Macchiarini not guilty on other charges, including aggravated assault, relating to three patients he treated while working for the famed Karolinska Institute (KI). This charge has a maximum sentence of 4 years.
Disappointing considering the lives he took with his experiments.
That's disgusting! This man should have been convicted on so much more relating to the other patients and he should be serving a lot of time. He basically killed a toddler, for one thing!
@@KittyCat260 yes its at least murder in the second degree
Swedish legal system is a joke, im swedish and am appalled by the board of KI but not suprised, bunch of idiots ...
One count of bodily harm is ridiculous! He should have been found guilty for all his crimes! It is terrible what he got away with!
Thanks for this update. I was wondering. And only 4 years????!!!! That’s sickening. He has no remorse (at least per this video) and would still be perpetrating his death surgeries if he could. The families and the one survivor deserve so much more.
The minute I hear someone being lovebombed this way, i feel terrified. It's always either a narcissist or a scammer or both.
Yes, when someone seems to good to be true, it's a red flag
Yup exactly
Was hoping to see this comment
The creepy videos he would send her , love bombing her ! Ewwww. RED FLAGS
Exactly
I got such bad second hand embarrassment when she was telling people the Pope was marrying them😭😭😭😭
ikr
Not even my child would believe that :( he played her like a fiddle
Me too. That was so crinchy. 😭😭
That was very brutal.
I knowwww poor thing. He has "special contacts" in the Vatican?! They're both divorcees, and she's not even Catholic! 🤦🏼♀️
If my husband wrote a love note in my lipstick on the mirror I would NOT think it was romantic. Like do people really do that and waste lipstick like that???
Women do,but for men that is weird
Same. I spent 25 bucks on a lipstick bc it was strawberry scented, like from my childhood. I would be pissed if it was wasted.
And then having to clean the mirror??? No thanks hahaha
NO!! Waste of good lipstick if you ask me! 😂
Yea, I have a lot of lipstick that I never use, and probably expired. Lol
Just want you guys to know there's a movie/documentary out about this man now, and it's titled: Dr. Death: Cutthroat Conman. The documentary is so much darker and heartbreaking because it shows the patients who were killed by this horrible man and how it ruined their lives.
Thank you
“…but instead she toasted herself with a glass of champagne, inbetween tears on the plane, at 6pm, which was the time that they were supposed to be saying ‘I do’” is literally poetry
FR every woman can relate to this 😣😅😍
Right..🥺
she’s so good!!!! the way she speaks is>>>>>
This was clearly the victim's fault. They should've used common sense and detected those red flags.
@@fsheld5058 thats not... related to the comment at all
Let's focus on her gumption and determination to expose him; she didn't lose her sh!t and did something rash, but took her time to find out what a fraud he was, in so many areas of his life. Bravo, gorgeous lady.
💯💯💯💯
It’s kinda badass.
And attractive.
Swede here!! Just got a ping on my phone that Paolo today was sentenced to 2 years 6 months in prison for 3 counts of aggravated assault!!
Wow. That is unbelievable..
the hospital that ignored the 500 page complaint really should be punished.
Could you imagine your toddler baby girl dying after undergoing his surgery, then learning the truth about him later? The anger these families must feel, I pray for their peace of heart.💔
She was born without a trachea she wasn’t going to live anyway
@@sherrymdsrn can you at least pretend to have compassion?
@@sherrymdsrn if I understand right, it was getting the cheap walmart plastic trachea instead of getting a real one that used up her chance of survival. She might have lived if not for the "discount" trachea surgery. As poalo's semi-accurate excuse was that complications are always part of new technology, they were given confidence in the technology when it wasn't warranted, and could have used the more reliable kind where you get a real trachea, which would have been her best chance.
Tragic 😥
@@jameseverett4976 maybe she wasn’t on the donor list for that being she was extremely young her parents traveled to U.S because they allow surgeries for experimental practices but Paoulo Lied about the procedure being effective he should have tested on animals not toddlers
The psychopath "spark." That's what Benita felt the first time she met Paolo. Her body sensed danger. This was her adrenaline-fueled fight or flight response to a predator. His eyes saw her and took on the predatory stare, her body responded and she misinterpreted it as love at first sight due to cultural biases. It happened to me a couple of times and those guys turned out to be psychopaths. After dating the last psychopath, I really wanted to know what that shock, that thrill was that went through my body that I had misinterpreted as chemistry and connection and I researched. It's a real phenomenon that many have experienced. Be wary if you feel an electrical shock when you meet someone. Your body is trying to tell you something.
OMG i ended up doing this same research after this happened to me with a narcissist and was floored to learn that « spark » was actually fear and not chemistry! It’s amazing how our bodies can tell danger so early on.
You are 100% correct!
I've also experienced this, only with narcissistic or evil men. Every great man I've been with has given me a sense of calm.
Dude this is blowing my mind. I've been wracking my brain as to why I felt this when I met the man who ended up physically hurting me and blamed myself for having bad intuition but this makes so much sense! The only thing that made me question things at first was that he kind of love bombed me and was super into me without really knowing me but it's so easy to get swept up in it all no matter how careful a person may be.
You have just changed my life. Thank you.
Wow this sounds like another “Dirty John” story 🥴it’s actually astonishing to what lengths these beyond compulsive liars will go too.
frrr! him and john would definitely get along
From nacissistic to murderous in one easy step. So terrifying cuz. they get so good at that you may never know until its too late. *shudder*
Fortunately Paolo wasn’t as dangerous as John, but yes, just as much of a liar and deceiver.
That would be perfect for season three!
Erm…apologies if this makes me sound dumb, but who is “Dirty John.”?
As a Swede in the medical field I was completely shocked when this came to light. It's crazy that Karolinska didn't take it more seriously from the beginning and I really hope that no one else tries something similar. That's really what bothers me the most, that the hospital didn't react directly and didn't start reseaching the whole thing. And that he was hired there even though his former work and stuff didn't add up. I was appaled really.
Yeah but it’s not that much of a shock really. Sweden has a reputation of not taking things seriously until the damage has been done.
Is this maybe because Swedes are generally known to be very naive?!
The idea of forming a trachea from a WATER BOTTLE had me doubled over in laughter and disbelief... and then, I realized that this monster was KILLING PEOPLE.
I think they took it VERY seriously. And covered him.
Has their reputation been damaged? Are they being held accountable?
This is so insane. It feels like a Lifetime movie with the most unrealistic script. I’m blown away. Thanks for sharing. That was one hell of a ride.
I know right!!!! They should make a movie about this!!!
That is what I was thinking!!! Wow just wow
Right
@@happymarshmallow9628 Benita made a program herself, titled He Lied About Everything. I think I saw it on Bravo.
@@debschmitt761 oh thanks! I’ll check it out!
She's blessed that he didn't kill her. Men like that kill when they get caught. She was also smart to hide what she was doing.
What I said too…think he’s just to full of himself to take some ones life like he legit doesn’t want to get his hands dirty
Exactly she got away without being killed which I think she should be counting her blessings for
Was thinking that as well
This man was really out here putting water bottles in people’s necks 😳
What scares me the most is how difficult it was for medical professionals to get any investigation going. It took an article in a magazine to get any traction? If several peers launching complaints isn't enough something seriously needs to change. Peoples lives are at stake ffs.
For real. It’s so scary
Listening to a fake doctor doing experimental surgeries makes me more terrified then listening to a murdered story. This story has been making me squirm
What I don't understand is, that all my previous jobs wanted to see my diploma so that they knew, that I am not pretending to have a degree (and those jobs weren't even connected to me). So how come that a prestigious institute didn't check, if the person they are going to hire actually have the acamedic background he is claiming. I don't understand 🤷♀️
I meant that those jobs weren't connected to the field I have my masters in, not that they are not connected to me 😅
This whole story is unbelievable, sad, and absolutely embarrasing.
Kendall I love that you post true crime content that isn’t always gruesome or dark! I love true crime, but it gets exhausting and depressing. I know we can always count on you to post a good palette cleanser😅
So true!
Yes!!! It's a much needed break! Best to diversify lest we all get horribly depressed 😅
This was clearly the victim's fault. They should've used common sense and detected those red flags.
Yes! I love lights out but sometimes I can’t take the gore lol
Yes!!! It really weighs on my soul after awhile. That's when I like to pop on her lawsuit and fraud playlist. Honestly probably my favorite episodes.
I can't even imagine how it feels like to find out the person you love is a complete fabrication. And not only that, but pretty much a murderer. Benita is such a strong woman and I hope she and her daughter can recover from this. I love your content Kendall, you carry yourself with such class and dignity, a true lady.
On a lighter note, Lilly is so cute, she reminds me of my Chester, he had pretty much the same coat and he also used to do that lol, I miss him so much. I love it when your pets join you in the back of your sofa, it feels so cozy.
In what way this half-witted woman is a strong person?
I guess the fact that she met him while her husband was dying from cancer and probably needed her support during his last days and providing emotional support to her daughter is completely irrelevant huh
@@ferial8819
You keep repeating this same comment over and over again even though the video made it very clear that’s not what happened.
She got some good friends who were there with her in Barcelona. I can't imagine how she would handle all of this without them.
This is awful and she was so strong. I feel for the families the most that lost their loved ones to this man and him experimenting on them. It's awful.
Yeah, it's awful that a doctor was able to experiment on humans like that.
Maybe the only reason she exposed him was because he lied to her about marrying her? Imagine if he did marry her and did follow through with all of his promises...
@@teijaflink2226 khh
@@thequeenofwitches7943 No, the marriage is the reason WHY she started investigating him in the first place, not the only reason whatsoever especially after all the dirt she found on him after.
Psychopaths are not as rare as we may think.... although to his extent is not as common, we all have/will encounter atleast one in our lives. I married one, feel like such a fool for excusing and forgiving and just buying into his convincing stories. The time I figured him out was too late, he had ruined my life. This woman handled her fraudulent whirlwind love affair with grace and got justice! I applaud her.
Bro I was laughing SOO hard when she listed the famous people who were “going to be” at the wedding LMAOOOOOO
HOW can a smart woman fall for that??
@@sy_dianne5224 fr..she was verrrry naive
@@idk4nyname Or being married by the Pope...for real?
@@sy_dianne5224 and idk how she wasn’t sceptical abt him flying to different countries all the time to do “surgery” that already was giving mistress vibes.
Lmfaaaoooo me too like cmonnnn
So no employer checked if he was actually a qualified doctor…? HUH? How can people preform surgery without even having credentials?
If he was Black certainly they would ask for thousands credentials
He was a qualified doctor, he lied about the research behind the procedure he was doing.
It's so heartbreaking for the patients who've died because of this malpractice and misconduct. 😢 I hope their families will receive the justice they deserve.
7 out of the 8 people who received his artificial tracheas passed away. Dude is a serial killer honestly.
wow :(
😬😔
Definitely it's as bad as something serial killer would do, it's experimentation on humans too. Horrifying that he was able to do something like this, he was respected too.
In a separate tv interview, he refered to them as "complications as with any new surgery"
How can he do that to anyone! Specially a child! I cried when she said that the little girl died after his procedure 😔 I really hope he pays for all he did 😢
genuinely how does this even happen. like how does not a single person notice for decades that his “professional experience” doesn’t add up. also not that any of this is benita’s fault but how did she not notice that he can’t actually play piano lol
I was thinking the same damned thing! Like holy hell, you need references to work in restaurants, how did absolutely nobody think to verify the professional background of a surgeon?!
Faking it till you make it isn't a saying for nothing!
it honestly scares the shit out of me. like who else is lying about that?
You have to understand that people like this are so conniving, manipulative and their true profession is deceiving others. For what reason exactly, I don't know. It's almost like a Superman syndrome. He would probably wait until she wasn't actually looking to pretend to be playing the piano. He kept her so swept off her feet that there's no telling what he would do. He has her believing the Pope was going to marry them, I think he can fake being able to play the piano. It's all really sad
They say ‘love is blind’.. 🤷♀️
Also the fact that she and the woman who she sold the piano to became friends and even traveled together shows how magnetic and lovely she is - I admire her strength she’s amazing
I felt so sad for Benita. Who wouldn't want to meet a good looking rich person that will treat you like a princess and sweep you off our feet. The story had my complete attention. thanks Kendall
I guess the fact that she met him while her husband was dying from cancer and probably needed her support during his last days is completely irrelevant huh
or prince*
@@ferial8819 they were divorced when he got sick, they just had a good relationship because of their daughter
She actually overlooked a ton of red flags and the trips and status was a huge part of the reason she just ignored the absurd he was doing and saying. Who would believe a secret medical society and that the same person is the Clinton's, the Obama's, and the pope's private doctor, while also operating on the japanese emperor? Or that he was called to save princess Diana, and he not getting there in time was the only reason she died... in the meanwhile, all his not famous patients were dying in the most terrible way... funny how he was the doctor of such important people, but still was almost anonymous... you've got to suspend disbelief so hard to fall for all this...
@@ferial8819
Ex-husband.
They were separated snd divorced for 12 years before she even met the guy. Also this whole thing pretty much started because he helped to give her closure about not being able to tell her ex husband and the father of her children goodbye.
That woman laughing when she told them they were getting married by the Pope was so hilarious and sad at the same time. I’m so sad this man ruined so many lives.
Well she was laughing but I wonder if she tried to talk some sense into her friend?
can you tell us what time in the video? i can’t find it
thank you!
@@sherrymdsrn like 18:50. She's on a video call with a girlfriend.
That DOES sound fake. Who would believe that story about the pope? Especially as the catholic church disapproves of divorce.
The saddest thing is the popes are usually dirty old paedophile men!!!
Had a bf like this, except he faked a British accent the entire time we dated until I found out he was married, narcissist pathological liars are so scary 🙃
Wow that's some commitment. As a brit I want to hear his accent 😂 I hope ur OK now
Lmfao no offense but wtffff!!
What the fuuuuuuck
I had a guy faked getting stabbed so I wouldn’t break up with him, pictures from google down to the ER and the nurses
Kari Meiers Did you do a background check on this sick man???
Classy choice coming out in VF. Love that for her. I'm currently reading a book called "Dangerous Men and how to spot them before you get involved" and it talks a lot about how so many women ignore the red flags and choose to see all of the good instead even when we KNOW things aren't right, even at the start. The scary thing is, every time we do that, every time we ignore our intuition, we are actually dismantling our brain's natural alarm system for danger that we develop as infants. We are literally rewiring ourselves to not avoid dangerous people, places and things, all for the sake of fantasy, being polite, or being desperate for love/companionship. It's heartbreaking how often young girls are given these same blueprints to become victims themselves bc of the cycle of abuse.
Please keep us posted when the trial starts. Idk how one person could destroy so many lives. What a huge Jerk. Thank you for bringing us this story.
Kinda reminds me of the “Dirty John” case. Bonita is so strong for going through this and still maintaining her class along the way. The fact she put kids before her own emotions says a lot about her character. My heart goes out to the families grieving for their lost/affected loved ones. What a deranged man.
There’s a podcast with several episodes, Dr.Death (season 3) that has a lot of interviews with the woman he was “going to marry”
Good comparison.
Came to say the same thing
In the dirty John case the woman basically kicked her kids to the curb! It was moms ignorance that nearly got her daughter killed!
@@sarahtonin256 it was her ex-husband and from what was told in the video, the divorce and their relationship was far from idylic. So yeah, it is classy, that she was mourning him anyways and do everything for her daughter. People that are going through hard times are allowed to fall in love, especially when he was providing her support - and she needed that so that she could stay strong for her daughter.
There should be a database on failed doctors and police. They have the potential to cause so much harm unchecked
There is one in the U.S. it's call the National Practioner Database
@@puppymurph and yet none of these monsters ever end up on the list. Let me rephrase. A working database whose goal is to protect the public

"Sing to me Paulo" 😂😂😂😂
What an ass!! This story went completely in a different direction than I expected. Love your exposed series and your channel🖤🖤 please keep us updated on this dude I have to know how this turns out!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Paolo can’t sing music now he must face music, or something like that from sergei
People confused how she can fall for that but remember she was going through a hard time with her daughter's father dying, maybe she was looking for comfort and affection, she probably wanted to appreciate life and not question it too much and he knew that saw that and used it. Most con artists and predators look for victims at their weakest emotionally and mentally
Very true
Nah, this goes deeper! Her mom and then her dad throwing her out. Psychologically her attachment didn’t come in right because of what happened to her during her for formative years. Red flag after red flag and where someone with a healthy attachment would react and end things, she clinged on to them because she hadn’t been taught to set proper boundaries in childhood (parents teach their kids this in healthy homes) so instead she ended up looking past the red flags and holding on to him. It’s like she knew but still didn’t dare to let go of him, separation anxiety. Which might also psychologically explain why she was ok with leaving her daughter behind so often (because she her self had been left as s child), her daughter only had her as a caregiver after the father had passed (So another reason to not dash off on all of those trips when he love bombed the mom). It’s really sad because had she had a better upbringing this scary man would not be viewed as a potential partner by her, she would be able to keep the door closed to him.
She was mentally weak alright !
But she was ambitious as well. Fraudulent people tend to depend on other people's greed and ambition for status in different kind. There's those to offer more than you're worth so to say (people are played by their self esteem isdues). The board of Karolinska contained to a great extent of former politicians (who often are showered by lobbyists etc and hence harmful items and procedures are neglected and allowed).Thus, she was a different kind of victim than those he performed surgery on, for those he really was their last hope (many also aware thiswas a new procedure with someat uncertain outcome).
And then the idea of medical science moving forward in an often rather fast pace perhaps not make the procedure obviously, sure a donated trachea would be the ideal though the need for the artificial one was/is probably desired if there isn't enough donor organs available (add to the risk of the body rejecting a donated organ as well even if formally matching).
@@soilgrasswaterair I love how you wrote that, it is true, she was trauma bond to him. I'm currently understanding how this correlates with your formative years and I am trying so hard to break a trauma bond of 9 years.
Bonita is a treasure, her restraint is legendary. I hope she's happy now.
HOW?! Just how do these guys not get called out significantly sooner. A 500 page report and the university and hospitals didn't react?

I'm late to the ball but hear me out: I would NEVER go through a wedding with someone who is STILL married even if they are not living together. Show me those divorce papers first and then we will wait another full year just to be safe. But that's me. I'm also too suspicious of people showering me with gifts... makes me feel uncomfortable and inadequate. Please do make an update this year (2022) if you can.
I agree... I am the skeptic of the century. My motto: always expect the worst; then, you are never disappointed.
Well, unlike Bonita, you are intelligent in addition to being principled !
@@malimalou751 It's not being intelligent... It's being cautious. Also where I live you need to be living for a whole year apart before engaging in any divorce procedure.
I always think about the fable of the crow and the fox, you know where the crow has a piece of cheese in her beak and the fox keeps telling her what a beautiful singing voice she has, so she’ll sing for him and drop the cheese
Wow! I live in the town where Hannah’s surgery took place. I remember how devastating it was when she passed away. I never heard this whole story behind it. So crazy.
I feel bad for this woman but my heart breaks for the people he harmed and murdered.
Before the wedding got canceled, what was he planning on doing on July 11th when the wedding would be revealed as fake? A heart attack? Killing her? Some catastrophic event would have had to have happened. This story has so many outlandish layers to it that it’s almost unbelievable. It just shows how trusting people can be when they’re clouded with love. Wow! (That was for sarcasm 😂)
Yes, my question is why did he go through all this for. What did he want form her cause eventually he knew that she would find the truth. Maybe he wanted to influence her documentary about his work.
Yeh it’s crazy I don’t get the end goal.
I was thinking exactly the same thing. It just makes absolutely no sense to me
Emergency surgery (also sarcasm, I was wondering the same thing)
The point is, it is possible he would/could have pulled off this kind of double life thing he had if he just did a regular, normal wedding in the US. His wife lived in Barcelona so it's pretty safe to say the two women would have never meet. He insisted to have this royal style wedding without the possibility to come through with it. And this all would have been a sad story about the women that got tricked if not for the people that have been harmed by him being a "super doctor"
Your cat making pizzas in the bg :3, btw i love how complete is the bg about him ñ, Netflix didn’t 12:03 mention his education for a sec i thought he was not a doctor.
love the video and your calm voice🖤
If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Been there, done that. Lessons learned
Your fur babies are always so comforting when I see them in the background. No matter how dark the story, I feel safe with the babies.
Same!!!
Right!!!!
Me with no medical background: Wow completely replacing a functioning organ with water bottle grade plastic seems bad...
This video is wild and I feel so bad for all his medical victims
That was a red flag for me, like water bottle? Shouldn't it be silicone or something? wtf
Sameeee same!
Same. I have medical background n I was like they flew him in for the surgery😱😱😱 were rest of the doctors okay in their minds🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
In medicine, if anything its good to be true, its never true.
I live in Sweden and I've only heard about the trachea disaster. Adding this to the whole thing makes it even more sad.
I remember this case showing up in media here in Sweden. Shocking and disturbing..
Yo, the pre-recorded classical music was the icing on top of this joke of a person. I cannot 🤣 But honestly the way Benita handled herself through this whole thing. Is really a great model for every woman in the same situation.
Yes abandon your child and travel the world with a psycho. Goals 💅
@@tendies9248 They all praising her and I am flabbergasted .... She traveled so much with him leaving her kid who just lost father ....
@@chichan6969 I agree, I don’t get how people are praising her. She should have stuck by her kids during a difficult time like that, not go running off with some dude right away.
I love fraud stories, but this one scares me especially the fact Paolo did experimental surgeries. It scares me what if I have to get a surgery, but the person has know idea what they’re doing.
Don't worry. I doubt this would happen in America.
@@katelynbrown98 Kendall did a story on an American doctor who murdered his beauty pagent wife a year ago. He faked a lot of his medical credentials so yes it is possible in America. However, I think it's because both of these men became doctors prior to the internet and major technological advances.
@@katelynbrown98 now you’re the gullible one
I was hoping to learn more about this story from this video. But in fact she just simply retold the ABC episode. With mistakes. Disappointed.
@@katelynbrown98 Do some research...it not only could happen in the US, it HAS happened in the US! There are people like Paolo in every country in the world!
GIRLLL I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA BLOW UP! FROM DAY ONE! LOOK AT THOSE VIEWS! YOU MADE IT KENDALL RAE 👏 🙌🏼 YOU ABSOLUTELY DESERVE EVERY WONDERFUL THING THAT IS HAPPENING ANNND IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN FOR YOU! GO YOU!
The way you tell the story Kendal , language, and knowledge- amazing! Such a pleasure to listen and watch !
Thank you !!!
I was a respiratory therapist at the hospital he did the surgery on the little girl and used stem cells to create an "artificial trachea" which was then recorded for the Dateline special. I met him a few times and everyone was just in awe of him, including me. I cant get over this.
she survived? is she older now?
sorry just got to that part of the video. :(
@@nataliaspamer9745 Out of 8 patients only one survived his medical miracle surgery
As always: these naive Swedes!
That in itself is perhaps not that strange. A lot of procedures that are almost routine today were once viewed with scepticism at the initial research phase. Like man made items that's keeps your heart going etc. And from the patients side it may make sense, there are a lot of people who desperately go to other parts of the world to get treatments that is not allowed in their own country. I'd guesstimate the amount of people complaining about not getting a treatment that is nott allowed in their country is still higher than reversed. Typically newsdon't want to dwell into details around familicides, and that for good reason, but there were suggestions that the familicide in Bjärred a few years ago was parents becoming desperate that treatments they wanted for their kids was not allowed.
I was in an abusive relationship (mental, physical, and financial) before. And I remember who I was before it happened. Who I was during the relationship. Who I became after the relationship. When I finally broke free after two years, family members and friends were in disbelief. "You are so smart and strong, how could this happen?" Listening to her story. Let me tell you. THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE. Love is a powerful drug. I am sooooo happy hearing how she got out of this!
This is important & powerful testimony! Glad you got out & within a reasonable timeframe!
I'm happy you got out of yours too ❤
THANK YOU. There is a narrative that states that "weak" women are the only ones who become prey for these types of monsters. Or any abuser for that matter. NOT TRUE. It unfortunately CAN happen to anyone, even Bonita, who is the epitome of strength. Well said, and congratulations for getting out. It is truly one of the hardest things to do.
@@KatrinaJoy225 Well to be fair she was at a fragile state in her life, her husband had just gone into hospice and then died. I would say she was weak minded and in a fragile state of mind when she got involved with this person. Glad she snapped out of it and gained her power back.
@@uneeky5785 It was her ex husband. She wasn't weak.
Kendall, I swear this is the 15th time watching this video. Your videos are so interesting, I don’t get tired of them. I can watch them 30 times on repeat and not get disinterested. I love the dedication of your videos, you always make the best quality possible. Kudos to you! ❤️❤️
This sounds so similar to “the tinder swindler” Simon Leviev except he was the son of diamond billionaire
I came back to this video just for this comment!
i love these “fraud” videos ! please continue making more of them ♥️
YESS PLEASE🥺🥺
This was clearly the victim's fault. They should've used common sense and detected those red flags.
Jesus that's a horrible thing to say.
I came to post on the origibal comment though, so I'll just say I agree, more videos on fraud from kendall
This shit is crazy n I’m not even done with the video!!! Holyyyyyyy s***
I'm fascinated by these type of stories like Belle Gibson, Keli Lane, the "Forgetting Dad" Dad. Years ago when my Mum worked in a maternity hospital a cleaner successfully pretended to be a charge nurse for months.
Poor Benita.. she seemed like such a nice woman. I totally felt her when she was screaming and cursing in the car while her friends were confronting Paulo. I think any woman that has been cheated on and had her heart smashed into pieces can definitely relate
Any person honestly
This story is wild and feel so sorry for all the families he has affected and destroyed!
I live in Sweden and this was a massive story! His trial is actually starting today.
Sorry but I couldn't stop laughing at 10:32 with your little cat kneading behind you 😭😂
The irony of her being an investigative journalist is too much for my brain to process
The balls of this man knowing that he was a scammer and to get involved with her just speaks volumes 😌
Right?!! How did she even fall for a fraction of what he said and did, in the very beginning even? Crazy.
"Darling, I am a spy, did you really think I was a bigamist? I love you but I am the greatest spy of all, the world needs me." What's there to doubt? He said he loves me! 😂
Yup. My exact thoughts. Blew my mind.
I dated a man like him once... he seemed "too" good to be true. He ended up having a wife and multiple girlfriends. He was definitely a sociopath. Glad I could get away!
Ikr?! Same!
So impressed with how Benita handled this. So impressed that she was willing to let everyone know what happened to her (even though I'm sure it was embarrassing) in order to save people from him. So impressed with how composed she is when talking about it as well.
My heart cried for benita😭😭. That's so much bs to handle. Strong woman.
As a doctor myself, God I wouldn't even touch my patients if I was even 1% unsure. How did he sleep at night? I'm appalled. Sorry from the doctor fraternity to the families who lost their loved ones. We disown him and please know that not all of us are monsters.
He's a pathological narcissistic liar with zero conscience. He may even be a psychopath.. so he doesn't have the moral compass others do. This is just as bad as a psychopath who murders their family so they can take the car to prom. No regard for human life, and go to extreme lengths to get what makes them feel good.
He is a cold-blooded psychopath for sure! That's how he's able to do what he does without any remorse.
@@herpaderp-bp4pe Hahaha that's weird and interesting, but I'm not from America.
@@herpaderp-bp4pe haha small world, I'm originally from Minnesota. I moved to Nevada 10 years ago but love anyone/ anything Minnesota 🥰
@lubna s -Thank you for the work you do as a doctor
The spark she felt when she met him was actually anxiety - her intuition alerting her.
Yup!!!
I hadn’t thought of that...
Yeah, not all sparks means attraction, sometimes it means run for your life especially when it's unsettling.
Correct.. the butterflies and sparks is her red alert stay away bells ringing. Movies and romance stories tell us that's it normal.
If it's your heart, be weary, if it's your stomach, BE WEARY lol
I’ve watched/listened to this video over and over again. You tell this insane story and it’s a movie in my head. Thank you for making this video
Bonita is so strong! Shechange her entire life to be with a fake doctor who ruined people's lives to feel a false sense of power. She lost her power to him and gained it back. This is sad, yet inspirational and empowering. All I can say is "Wow"! Can't wait for this guy to be on trial this year. This story deserves an update. 😉 Thank you Ms. Rae for always providing us with insightful and enlightening videos. You are amazing! 🙏🏾😁🙏🏾
Is really is nice to see a woman "who lit up the room" to actually see her lighting up the room for us.
I felt so sad when she broke down in the car. That man was playing with her so bad it’s insane and the little girl passed away 🥺
This was clearly the victim's fault. They should've used common sense and detected those red flags.
@@fsheld5058 get your victimblaming bullsh¡t outta here lmao. you are literally mocking and lecturing a dead child.
be better.
He played her like he played that piano 😔
@@fsheld5058 You need blocked for trolling.
As of 5 days ago, the verdict was: guilty only in one of the 3 deaths of his transplant patients! He was charged with PROBATION for causing bodily harm! So no jail time, no fines… NOTHING. Just probation! I am so appalled and upset.
I've seen every documentary on this... it's fascinating. BUT, ever since Bonita and Paolo broke up, it seems like there is NOTHING on this case and I want more! What's going on with his career and all his falsifications on the experimental tracheal surgeries and articles? Has anybody interviewed his ex's, or how about the woman and children he was with in Barcelona? I never understood why the friends went up to him but Bonita didn't... I mean, he totally embarrassed her and played her and we never ever find out why... his only response of "wow" would never have been enough for a rational woman so I feel like on some level, Bonita totally knew he was a scumbag but was willing to overlook it all because of his supposed wealth and prestige. And one more thing, his voice creeps me out... on his voice messages, he always sounds so creepy to me, and so phony! How the hell did she not see it? So, yes, I need more follow up please.
I specially loved this story because the pope was in my hometown in latin America, and since I had had a neck problem and I was 11 at the time I was one of the children who received his blessings, the pope wasn't with a rich surgen, he was with me :)
lol I love this! Like....sorry Paolo, I know you think your super important with your fake wedding and all but the Pope has more important things to do today like hang out with me, but nice try dude!! And what an amazing experience for and 11yr old!
@@krystaladair2586 thank you
@@mjcb7953 As it should!!
Do you feel like he helped you?
Thats the power of god
This is such a harrowing story. A total nightmare for that poor woman. I have met a con-artist man before. He seemed so genuine.
Much worse for the people he killed…
That's what I think too. That these people are extremely convincing and it feels like they are pure and genuine
WOW! WOW!
Seriously? My heart breaks for these patients who have suffered because of this fraud and for him to dupe a vulnerable journalist with grandiose wedding and home in Barcelona...
This story has been one of your best yet!
Thank you for presenting this as I've not heard about it until now.
Such an incredible story. I would love to hear an update when the trial comes around, if you have time since you are expecting! Good luck with your new baby.
This story is so horrible. The doctors who fought to bring Paolo's misconduct and malfeasance to light were ALSO indicted for Paolo's medical crimes, because the institute wanted revenge on them for making the institute look bad! The institute should have done their diligence and investigated Paolo when the problems were first brought up, or actually called his references and requested documentation!!! Ooooooooh I'm so mad.
The Wondery podcast series on this is really good too, but it'll make you angry.
This is unfortunately typical. Instead of investigating and doing what's ethical these institutions hide the truth in order to protect their reputation and NOT their patients. People need to do their due diligence and their own investigating before they agree to "experimental" surgery. Things are frequently NOT as they seem.
This story sounds perfect for a new Dirty John season!
There's a podcast on him called Dr.Death!🙃
@@nicoleshan6410 oooh you're right, season 3 is!! Will have to check it out
This was clearly the victim's fault. They should've used common sense and detected those red flags.
Yesss
@@nicoleshan6410 thats christopher Duntsch your talking about, another «doctor» who killed patients and destroyed their lifes
I have so much respect for Benita, I got duped by my ex husband too. I’m glad he wasn’t able to loop her into a marriage.
The lady on Facetime laughing at the "getting married by the Pope" stuff did it for me😂😂😂
I had a friend that was dating a "multi-millionaire." Supposedly he had all this money from a local cleaning company he owned. He never took her anywhere and would only go to her house really late at night. She went to his house once and it was a small 3 bedroom apartment where he, his roommates, and their 2 daughters lived. She believed all of his ridiculous claims. She even believed that he had his own plane. I couldn't understand how she could believe all this but I guess if you want it to be true then you ignore all of the red flags. Anyway, turns out that he was married, the small cleaning company belonged to his mother in law and he was in financial debt. My friend was super smart and usually a good judge of character until she fell in love. Then she believed everything that any guy told her.
I can't imagine what he was possibly planning on doing when it came time to actually get married?? Just make excuses forever? This is so wild. Would definitely like a follow up after the trial.
There are so so many people that do this and it baffles me 😂😭 Im sure Kendall covered one actually. The guy murdered her to avoid having to tell the truth that he couldn’t marry her because he was already married 😒
I’ve only seen this article one other time. I’m so glad you did this one. It’s always fascinated me.
Such an interesting story! I love how you narrate and have lots of images & videos while telling the story. I also really adore your animals in the background living their best life. They love listening to you tell stories as well!

Wait. Wait. Wait. Was he trying to tell her that there were 2 popes actually fighting each other because of him? Like whaaaa.
It's called narcissism, he believes he is the most important person on earth
OOOOH the second I heard that "famous guest list" I got so suspicious and mad, ain't no way, the public KNOWS which celebrities are friends with other celebrities, you're a celebrity just because your a friend with a celebrity! Did not believe him, he gives the fairytale men out there a bad rap, don't ever lose hope yall but stay mindful, this girl is honestly so cool and such an idol for other women, I also hope his victims of misconduct and their loved ones can rest easy, especially that precious toddler 🕊️
Why am I only seeing this video now?
MORE LIKE THESE PLEASE? 😍
I just love how you tell a story 🥰
No one tells a tale like you Kendall. These videos serve as good warnings for people who see red flags but love without reason. Thanks for another stellar upload!
