I’m a nurse in the substance abuse field. This is her addiction talking. She’s sick. An addict trying to convince themselves and everyone around them that they’re choosing this lifestyle and can kick their addiction on their own when they’re ready; is someone overcome by their addiction. Their addicted brain is taking over trying to rationalize their lifestyle and choices. Usually the more educated addicts are the addicts that have the hardest time finding recovery. They justify their actions, and feel like they can outsmart their addiction. They can’t. Her living children deserve better. Watching her live like this can’t be easy for them. Her refusing any type of treatment isn’t a good sign. She’s not ready to get better. I hope she hits the bottom she needs to hit to make her realize she deserves more out of life than this. Sending her so much love.
So well put. Exactly. A lot of rationalizing and coping mechanisms are at work here toward the end of her story. And how she differentiates herself from the other prostitutes and drug addicts, yet lives just like them in a crummy one-room in the dilapidated part of town. Yeah, she's much more addicted than she wants to admit, sadly.
I can not agree on this completely. I was living an addict lifestyle using benzos, weed, alcochol. I finished university, mathematics, had a job I didnt like and was abusing drugs. I quit everything even I dont smoke cigarettes and never had a desire to go back. Didnt ask for any help or advice. The only reason is lack of higher purpose in life. If person can find a higher purpose in life than drug/street life then kicking such a habit is possible but not easy. It all comes being true to yourself and in tune whit yourself to find anything you enjoy more than drugs. Otherwise, quitting is possible but not on the long run.
As someone that knows the battle of addiction it's more powerful than she thinks. She'll find out the hard way if she survives that war.
“She deserves more in life” sounds like you didn’t listen to her she had all the deserves in life already and wants to try this humble life.
@@argontherebel In all do respect a mother that gave up her home, career; shooting Fentanyl and prostituting herself to feed her addiction is an entirely different level of addiction. I’m glad you found what worked for you. I’m not saying treatment works for everyone but given her past trauma with the death of 2 kids, therapy and some form of treatment will be crucial for her recovery.
i know her and I've known her my entire life and 90% of everything she is saying is a lie. After katrina her mom took her kids to help her out and she never went back to pick them up. im not sure she even graduated Mandeville high school. BUT she def didn't graduate college. she lived with me 11 years ago for about a month and i had to kick her out because i suspected her of using drugs. she did have a sitting business for the elderly but she stole all of their drugs. she stole morphine from my mother while she was on hospice. i called and told her mother too. she's been lying about having cancer for over 20 years so they date she said she had cancer this time was a TOTAL LIE. she held fundraisers to get money for a cancer she NEVER HAD. this is a very sad thing to see happen to anyone, especially a lifelong friend. Get help MONICA. its never too late to fix the mess you're in.
Thank you for sharing. I am sorry she stole from you
You’re the third person commenting who knows her, and you all tell much the same thing.
She looks about 70-ish, but I suspect she’s younger, possibly 55-60.
Please, please, please: tell us her name.
I wonder if she's angling for a go fund me from soft white!
Makes sense. She seems bipolar. The tales were too fantastical so your comments explained a lot to me.
She's a snake and a good liar.
She's not making $175, 000 a year. This interview was 90% lies ...things just don't add up. She's covering up her embarrassment. I wish her the best.
Why not? That's a middle class salary anymore
“That’s a middle class salary anymore?” Huh??? American English, please 😀
She started following Nancy Pelosi's stock trades and then became the CEO of Bank of America. She donated all her wealth to her Nigerian uncle so she can live on the streets.
Yes, I think she’s embarrassed more than anything. I think she came from a privileged life and now she isn’t.
I guarantee she's knows exactly how much she makes, spends, needs and she's telling the truth.
I’m a cop and I often ask people what lead them to the streets and a lot of it is untreated undiagnosed mental illness. Some are just addicts that love the drugs more than life and then there are those who life never let up on or gave them one bad deal after the other. There are well educated people out there who just need someone to reach out to them and pull them up. One of the ones I helped was a woman who was an Anesthesiologist and had gotten addicted after a car wreck. Last I heard she was doing well now and gotten married. Success stories are few and far between but they are success stories none the less.
I worked with an anesthesiologist who was stealing cocaine off the med cart in the operating room (cocaine is used to dilate nasal passages by EENT surgeons). After a big investigation done by the hospital, he disappeared for a few months...off to rehab. He is one of the lucky ones and got straightened out before things got worse for him.
I just wanted to say thank you for not judging us. All of us are just trying to get through life after a 30 uears opiate addiction. I am now on suboxone for 8 years now. I am off the streets but i had developed schizophrenia at 46. It ruined my life. I am stable for now but with this kind of mental illness you never know what the day will be like. I do take edibles to shut my brain down because i have voices in my head loud. I cannot function. Until i found weed. It beats all the other phyc meds that i am on. Anyway thank uou for being one of the good guys we need more of you out there !
And she ain't one of them success stories.
@@monicabroussard840
You poor thing! Thank you for posting an explanation of how edibles help you. God Bless 💜
This is a bot.
Wait, she had a baby at 19, graduated college at 19, ran a mortgage & real estate company and then did nursing care for 17yrs??? But now makes 6 figures in sex work? All while having 5 children & addiction? I can't keep up with this one.
She was a hospice nurse for 5 years only she said. But I hear ya.
@@polohorse315 at 4:30 she says she studied to be a nurse and did hospice work for 17 years
She's making herself sound like wonder woman were supposed to be in awe
@@msmendes214 oh I thought she said she was a hospice nurse for only 5 years
@@polohorse315 honestly a lot of this was very unclear!
The streets are full of pathological liars.
Yea, something about mentally detaching and making oneself feel better! I don’t think they’re fooling anyone but themselves tho.
The streets are full of addicted people with stories. Very few are born Junkies and no one wants to wake up one day and say hey! I think I'll f****** smoke some crack today or maybe stick a spike in my arm. She might embellish a little bit but I doubt most of what she says are out right lies. Addiction is a mother f*****. It makes you do and say crazy things. Don't judge you might be next
I have 37 years in recovery. I have worked with addicts professionally and personally. I pray this woman will get honest before it’s too late. If it was that good out there, nobody would ever stop using.
She sounds like my bio-dad who has been a drug addict for decades. In his mind, he’s 8 feet tall. Bless their hearts.
God bless you
That’s real
Exactly! They are not wilfully lying. They are sick and grossly delusional in their perception of reality. All of those judging her as a 'liar', need to educate themselves on psychiatric illness and addiction. This lady needs a little kindness and understanding, not vicious judgement. I don't care if her story is pure fantasy, but I do care that she is clearly suffering, physically and mentally and I hope she finds the strength to seek the support she desperately needs.
@@laurenwilliams4890 she is still technically lying though. I wouldn't attack her for that like it's wrong but it's just the truth
Praying for her. Reality has completely been stripped from her.
God please bless this woman and wrap her in your arms.
This channel has really taught me to look past the outer appearance. Everyone has a story and most have a struggle. Thank you Mark for giving these people a chance to speak and tell their story.
I agree! Monica is a very intelligent woman, but sadly misdirected and an amazing storyteller. My heart aches for her soul and her health. Her life will end in her addiction, and that is very, very tragic. May she find solace, and comfort due to her many losses. ❤
My mother was upper crust and was on and off the streets for most of her adult life and no one believed her when she shared her experiences of working at the Swedish embassy in NYC or the fact that she was a competitive horse back rider or that her parents owned an atelier in the south of France not one single person believed her. She was also addicted to drugs, didn’t raise her children (unlike this woman) and was an extraordinarily mean and hurtful person. Believe a lot of what this woman tells you. It doesn’t mean she’s not hurting or hasn’t made decisions you don’t approve of but it’s not for us to judge.
Word
Truth
Who says someone was “upper crust”?
@@Jay-hp6pu u cut ur crusts?
Seriously I believe her because she doesn't go into detail she just says it and moves on. I think she needed to get her story out there why now idk, but mark makes you want share hell I want to go on here tell my shitty story lol

FBI told her leave your husband or get indicted
Travelled all over the world

Operated as “sitting service.”
Ran 10 miles a day
All whilst raising five children and NEVER LEAVING THEM WITH BABYSITTERS.
Did everything right with her children.
Brain adhesions and seizures,
Rx cost $600-$700/ day,
Used heroin as RN, living as addict for ten years, started using heroin in 2018,

Has thousands in the bank(s)
Makes $850/ day
Banks 170k/ year
Works as a prostitute to buy fentanyl (or heroin?)
Finishing her PhD in history
Still “going in and restructuring businesses.”
Wow, such a busy woman.
And we all believe every word.
You took the time and did a great job putting this together. I read other comments and people are so gullible but I call BS on all her grandiose accomplishments. Makes $170k a year and lives in a one room dump. BTW she has edema around her feet and ankles.
oh she’s definitely lying. but i guess this helps her cope with her life
Thank you for this. This one is hard to get through
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@1110karin I didn’t take much time. I just listened a second time and typed as she spoke.
I missed a few adventures in there, as well.
It is not that I don’t feel for her; clearly she is very, very sick with the disease of addiction.
It is just important for viewers to understand what is this presentation.
All this is active addict narrative.
How did so many miss that she is high af whilst speaking?
I neglected to make mention of her claims with her MD and drug testing, that she “tests negative” for opiates, because “they’re synthetic,” and her MD knows that she uses heroin and/or fentanyl and treats her, presumably, with additional opiate therapy.
Oh, and the buying fentanyl/heroin on the dark web, lol.
Pardon moi, but none-of this is consistent with reality.
I hate to say this, but I do not believe even that two-of-her children have died.
That may very well be the “keystone mendacity” upon which the softening-of target allows much leeway of interpretation.
The leukaemia/life-threatening illness or event can be effective to soften targets.
Yes, of course I noticed the edematous ankles.
I'm sorry for Monica. A lot can be read between the lines. With all due respect, it's nonsense to say that heroin makes someone functional. Monica's appearance, her health speaks volumes and there are so many inconsistent answers...
She desperately needs a break...
Thank you. Unfortunately I have seen people/persons, better on drugs than without. Life is so hard, sometimes.
Yes, life is a boot camp of sorts.
I know her. It's 99% lies. Her children never died. She's not a genius. She didn't finish high school. And she once shaved her head and pretended to have cancer. I don't remember how much money she made off of that before they caught her. Crazy as a loon.
@Soft White Underbelly Please pin Gay Denesse's comment. It's sickening that this woman has such a platform as yours to spew her garbage and listen to herself talk for 40 minutes. Please, Mark, pin this comment by Gay Denesse so that your audience isn't duped.
She just forgot to mention those things in her repertoire 🤦♀️🤣 She definitely has dellusions of grandure.
We peeped all her sht, I ain believe one word she said fam
@softwhiteunderbelly
I do not know her, but I "know" her. Her histrionic grandiose bullshit started spiraling into the unbelievable. I do believe she is a prostitute and an addict by choice and would not benefit from rehab at this time. She makes $170,000 a year? She could make that much from many of her former professions so why choose prostitution and living in a shitty apartment? Exactly
By the time she said she graduated at 16 I was like “how is she that accomplished, but she ended up here?” By the time she said she was restructuring companies I was like “oh, she’s just lying about everything”
Not an anomaly here
Definite inflated sense of self worth. She came off as kind of well polished, smart, but devolved the more she spoke about the streets the more the true person came out.
She's not just a slut, how dare you judge her
@@CivilDefenceCanada Yeah, she definitely sounds intelligent. She probably did really well in school, but fucked up along the way and spun a story to insulate herself. The story was just way too much to be believable.
Are you serious ? There are plenty of people like that in the world. Are you young or sheltered? Thats why you don't judge people cause life is different for everyone because of circumstances. Burying 2 of your kids 4 years apart is enough to run from and turn to the streets to not deal with the pain
It amazes me how drugs create an alternate reality in many of these addicts minds.They can spin a yarn better than many professional fiction authors.
@Sean Reed Thanks for the suggestion will do
They can be the ultimate reinterpreters of the truth next to politicians
Soooo true
Her head is up her ASS and a SNOBBY.
She’s a legend in her own mind. Bless her heart.
Judge Joanne
Nope just a legend.
@@mpat100 legend of liars, maybe.
@@brentonvelasquez4875 nope
@@mpat100 you really believe her lies?
My sister was an accomplished, well educated successful woman. She did everything right. She was the best of the best. Kind, caring, spiritual. She didn't deserve to die of a heroin overdose. Neither does this woman. I don't know how to save a loved one. I wish this woman could feel warm and cozy in her life. Survive 💛🌞💛
Just like a therapist once told me I could not save my son from a suicide, you cannot "save" an addict. It has to be something they want to do. So many people wanting to save others who don't want to be saved. it is a decision that has to be made by them.
You are a wonderful person.
She made choices that were destructive. Deserves got nothing to do with it.
@glennday7802 yes, and let's hope we all are able to make the best choices when burdened with grief, sorrow, and lack of atonomy
@ballerman22345 yes, it's so sad. Unfortunately so many people are not able to advocate for themselves or seek help due to psychiatric issues that can stem from childhood trauma. Drugs exasperate the problem
She is a great story teller , half of what she claims is questionable. Her drug addiction has clouded her mind . My head spun on this one . I couldn’t keep up.
Good luck to her .
My thoughts exactly
Half?? 🙄
Especially stating that her house was paid for, she made $175k year, but lives in a studio apt in the hood!
She sure made me want to believe her!
I imagine being an RN is not a blip in your life... it takes years of school and usually becomes part of who you are. People telling their life story wouldn't brush past obtaining, holding and losing a license to practice.
The FBI: you either leave him or we will indict you...
I could be very wrong but I don't think things work like that with the FBI...
What FBI are you familiar with? Alphabet agencies are corrupt, doesn't matter how long ago it was.
I’m a lawyer. It’s entirely possible they said something like that to her, probably in a high pressure interview to get info on him. Saying “Obviously if you’re staying with him you’re involved!!! I mean… unless you want to tell us exactly why you aren’t…”. Believe it or not, cops lie to people. Often.
Now the “I wanted to study to be a hospice nurse.” “I was one and a mouse fell on me.” part has me scratching my head.
This woman reminds me so much of my Best Friend's Mom who died a few years ago. Just her mannerisms, voice & the way she speaks. God, I miss her! Thank you, Mark!
Angel Lady.. thank you for sharing 🌟
Losing a child has to be the hardest. Heartbreaking.
I cannot even imagine, heartbreaking indeed.
Not according to those who get an abortion and those who support it.
It is...
Definitely. When I buried my child, I heard it said that losing a parent is losing your past, and losing a child is losing your future. I didn't wish it on my worst enemy.
@@juriaan13 my thoughts are with you.
I pity the poor woman. What a sad life she’s had. All addicts lie, including alcoholics. They actually suffer from low self-esteem and shame, and try to mask it with grandiose lies. They can’t think straight because they literally have holes in their brains. I admire Mark for respecting everyone.
She's a pathological liar. She's casually explaining things but not going into detail of it.
nope
@@mpat100you are here right? I've seen all your comments on the post.
@@porkchopdunn3200 What do you mean?
I can't take it anymore. "I have all the best reasons to stop, but they'll never get me to". So many contradictions. Drugs will f you up.
I think she internalizes her pain. She mentions her hardships briefly, as if she would not like to openly discuss her abusive husbands, failed careers, surviving Hurricane Katrina, traveling often, the death of her children. A lot of people use to deal with the hurt.
@Somebody What does your last sentence mean?
@@lisahinton9682 She is saying a lot of people use drugs to get through the hurt in life
@@Globelle Thank you! Somehow I could not figure out what the heck she was saying. If she'd included the noun "drugs" in the sentence, it'd have been so much more clear. But anyway, thank you so much! 🙂
@@lisahinton9682 ha! No prob. It took me a minute as well.
True. One man’s medicine is another man’s poison and all that. As long as they are adults and what they do harms only themselves and theirs, we can’t judge someone just because they sin different from us. Either we should empathize or move on in silence.
This lady is sicker than she lets on. Her feet and ankles are tremendously swollen. As a nurse I'm truly aware of what serious illnesses this may indicate. I'v worked and 'LIVED' with Heroin and Fentanal addicts. They get to the point they act like they're not high. If you want to see abnormal behaviors see them when that don't have their drug of choice. There is no easy answer to these problems. We've been batteling this problem for centuries. I wish her all the best...🌄
She's convinced herself, of herself
That narrows it down perfectly.
They all what that go fund me $
This woman isn't a good liar at all wow.
And she gave the best advice for people living in rough areas. She is where she wants to be.🤷🏾♀️
Pretty much
I legitimately wanted to believe her until “stress from Katrina” and “I started doing drugs in 2016”. Like I even Googled it because I really wanted to be wrong about thinking it was back when I was in high school in ‘05. That’s 11 years miss, I am confusion
Smart.
She lost track of the lies... I mean time 😬😁
I caught that one too.
Nice friggin catch dudette
yep thats when i knew she was full of it
She has lots of money yet lives in a shack? Her story isn’t adding up. Very narcissistic to think she can kick an addiction on her own. And very judgy for someone who doesn’t like to be judged.
I'm not taking sides with her but I think u have to live with your tribe. If she lives in an upper class place then all will see her as odd
She gets lots of money. I’ve known a lot of people who have money on a daily basis, but not at any time of day. Usually working girls…you’ve got to be balling hard or have a rich dad to live like that, otherwise, or working on a huge commission.
My exact thoughts.
She plainly stated that she does not want to kick her heroin addiction. She's not going to rehab ever.
@@ddz1375 I made this comment prematurely. However, early on she did say she could also kick it without rehab.
The most humbling interview. She is wise. Not sure she is 100% honest with herself about her addiction but she said a lot of true things about life. Great interview Mark and congrats on 4m subs!!
Wise? Maybe in some ways but if she was truly wise she wouldn't be roaming the streets hawking her fork.
I'm not sure she is being really honest with us either. It seems she might be embellishing her story somewhat!
All complete BS You are naive.
she is not wise. she is brain washed and controlled by black pimp drug dealers
Wow. Humble and wise?? These comments are nothing but a contest to see who can write the stupidest, overly complimented and most naive bullshyt.
A legend in her own mind
she reminds me of that Sarah interviewed on here that lied the entire time
@@marysunshine5587 and “Frenchie,” who was clearly, to a real French person, totally FOS.
They’re hustlers whose livelihood somewhat depends upon how many believe their lies.
Crazy as hell
@@JaimeMesChiens she was ridiculous
And that's all that matters is what she thinks in her mind which great. Because at the end of the day she has to live with herself.
As a man thinketh in his heart so is he
“Leave him or we’re going to indict you” does not compute.
She's a liar.
Oh for sure she’s full of shit this entire interview
Actually I believe this is one of the few things she said might be true. I could totally see them saying this to get information instead of her using the testimonial privilege in court.
I think she’s lying through this entire interview. Hospice nurse? No way. We nurses get drug tested- especially hospice because you have access to incredible amounts of NARCOTICS.
100% correct! I know her. She was never a nurse she lied to get access to drugs and steal from her victims.
She is not wilfully lying, she is living in a delusional reality. Huge difference! That could be due to her drug addiction or due to prior psychiatric illness. It can be symptomatic of schizophrenia and psychosis. Just because she articulates well, doesn't mean she isn't suffering from severe psychiatric ill health. Poor lady's physical health too, just look at that oedema. She needs kindness, not judgement. Psychiatric illness isn't a personal lifestyle choice, nor is it a character flaw. Delusions are not lies. So less with the judgement behind the anonymity of your screens, and more with the extending of a little empathy and kindness.
I’ve never seen a nurse drug tested . I did hospice care for the last 5 years of my time in LTC . I see these nurses all the time , dunno where you see this happening .
Yea I've seen quite a few nurses on pills and drugs. My mom worked with one last year.
Nurses very often become addicted to drugs. Don't fool yourself.
I'm always curious about people who give out a resume before telling a story.
Well summed up
There was a lot to tell and the parts that she did reveal, she summarized them.
@@lisaaxe9062 How do you feel when anybody you meet for the first time starts a conversation like that? When a man (or woman perhaps) tells you, for instance, how much money they make with in the first five minutes of a conversation? I'm not saying it's a deal breaker but thoughts do pop up.🤷♂️
@@jorel6745 well, I’m sure Mark basically instructed her to tell her story and because of time restraints, just keep it short n sweet🤷🏼♀️. Who knows. But, putting myself in her shoes, I would try to spill as much as I could in a short amount of time, too
She sounds delusional.
She sees dead people!
Wait did she say "I got 170k in the bank," but lives in a room with the bathroom 3 houses away? 😖😂😂 She's a mess! I couldn't get through this one.
Ain't no way , she hood Rich , living like a struggling baby mama
yeah also even at a Midwestern Home Depot people bring home close to 1k weekly not 200, girl please
@@seltzermint5 exactly! I know people who work at Home Depot that do just fine! But having random men's "junk" in her mouth & elsewhere is a better option for her, ok!!! Sad, sad woman!!
No, she said she would do 170 this year, meaning earn that much.
Maybe she’s trying to save to buy a house?? People do crazy things … especially if someone ELSE gives her a place to stay … she doesn’t have to pay many bills … just a fee I think
I can pick out an opiate addict in a full room just from hearing their voice. Can hear the opiate voice every time.
She contradicts herself from one sentence to another. More confident than those who have actually accomplished something meaningful. She is not someone I would want to get to know better. Or feel the desire to help. She seems totally satisfied with herself and her life. I wish I could say the same...
You can absolutely say that you're satisfied with your life... only someone who is, would ever be able to tell a complete stranger that they haven't accomplished anything meaningful in their life!? It seems contradictions are easier to accomplish than one thinks. Thank you for the help you give to those who are genuinely deserving in your eyes.
God bless ❤
There’s a lot of pain, a lot of truth, and some big lies.
I couldn't finish this one. I am such a big fan of Soft White Underbelly. I know that something healing lives in Mark and his cameras. I know that if I got a sitting, I would not spend it telling lies.
We only know what we perceive to be the truth.
It was a rough one to sit through for sure, much like the trainhopper from last week.
@@thatlaserlady3899 truth isn’t personal
@@SubJStan agree, but having someone challenge your perception of it certainly is. I'm 3.5 years sober off fentanyl and alcohol and I know what it's like not to be able to see the truth. Self can't see self. 🤗
I was looking for this comment, I feel the same way.
Here’s the thing, there are celebrities that are a few pills and a missed payment away from being on the street. It’s not realistic to say someone with businesses and money can’t loose it all and end up like this. You know how many moms are in my addiction recovery group, getting on the zoom from the inside of a 5 bedroom or more house, President of the PTA and still at the soccer games with liquor in the thermos and or high as a kite. I worked a full time job, took care of my mom and went to a university all while taking oxy 30s every chance I got. I don’t know this lady so I’m not saying her story is true but I don’t know that it isn’t. Drug addicts live in denial we all believe we can quit whenever we feel like it right up until we do and those DTs hit. That’s not being cocky that’s being an addict. I used to say the same type of stuff cause addicts will hold on to any last bit of dignity they have. Nobody is more arrogant than an addict that hasn’t faced the fact their addict I can promise you that. I would throw the fact I had a high gpa in college around all while snorting a line. Trust me, her lips might be moving but the drugs are speaking for her. She’s not judgmental or cocky she’s just sick. Get some help queen! You deserve better ❤
Thank you for putting into words what I had wanted to state but I was too angry at the comments to think clearly. Stay safe, stay sober and stay sane if you can. God bless you
Very well said. I see a lot of denial and rationalizing too, and I think that is what people are responding to...but she's just a drug addict.
She’s not on the street. She said her house has been long paid for.
@@katrinaolsen2444 And now she is living in one room without a bathroom or kitchen. Why doesn't she go home ? She says her son wants her to. It's in a humble area, not pretentious like where her house is.
@@katrinaolsen2444she also said by the end of this years she’ll have made $170k in this year alone but lives in a ROOM, not the whole house and has to walk a few buildings down to wash clothes and use the bathroom. I’m not the smartest man in the world but I smell bullshit 🤷♂️
I lost my 24 year old beautiful daughter 7-5-20 it's excruciating I can't imagine two of them God bless you I know your pain
I'm so sorry 😞
Did you show her JESUS..?
I can show you
Very typical grandiose behavior here. Full of stories galore. She needs extensive therapy. On the flipside, intelligent, beautiful and quite the thinker. She's been through so much. I hope she can get the help she so deserves.
She's pulling in $175K/yr but chooses to live in a dump because it keeps her humble. Right!!~
so sad...she has repeated those lies so much...she believes her own lies!
Might not be lies, when I was in rehab there was a PhD a registered nurse, a surgeon and a neurologist in the same unit as I was on. Addiction knows no borders, finances, sex, race, Creed or societal standings. Addiction doesn't give AF.
There are some holes in her narrative. Lying, or disassociation from the reality of life is common amongst prostitutes, it's a coping mechanism. You build a wall to protect yourself from what are often pretty awful circumstances by creating an alternative reality, usually a mixture of invention and truth, the problem is you can get lost in the created persona. I was involved in prostitution from a child, so I'm talking from experience. Its not easy to find yourself afterword but its not impossible. I hope she does.
Wow, deep comment!! First I want to say that I'm sorry you had to experience that life as a child, 2nd, I believe you are very intuitive and picked up on what a lot of us probably missed big time. I wish you well this fine Tuesday, know that you Are a beautiful soul ❤️
I agree completely. Well said. I believe her life story, but I think people are seeing her rationalizing and altering the truth on how bad her current situation is...because of her drug addiction.
Sorry u went through that sending you 🙏 😇 prayers 🙏 and all the homeless prayers 🙏😇🙏 and the prostitutes prayers 🙏❤️❤️😇
Peoples need to tell themselves a story about themselves in order to survive…and I can’t argue with their surviving.
Well, she’s the cleanest, well put together addict I’ve ever seen. Whatever her actual story is, she makes sense and can string a sentence along. I enjoyed listening to her. Definitely not in a position to judge anyone and their journey in life.
You are such a lovely person, to post this comment. Thank you.
Look for the first interview with Caroline back in 2010 and the ones ten years ago and recent ones ,she is a heroine addict as well ,if you think that heroine addict prostitute is ok,life is hard and there is always a choice and she definitely made her own one ,would like to see another one with her ten in ten years if she she won’t overdose on fentanyl
If we talked to her family I’m guessing they would differ with her perceptions of reality.
Im thinking the same thing. I wish mark coulf interview her sons because i seriously doubt that they arw dead
I hope this women gets honest with herself soon. I believe about 10% of her interview/ story. God bless her.
Unfortunately ur probably right..
people in general are very easily fooled by charm, charisma, high levels of narcissism & psychopathy. it's an endearing trait that the psychopaths 'in charge' of this world have taken advantage of. it's how the world got into such a sad state, morally and socially. there's a difference between unconditional love for all beings and being dangerously gullible.
Read the comments.
She fooling far-less than she may realise.
It’s just a utube video bra chill 🤣 she’s not reaching thru the screen and grabbin ur money 😂😂 2 things can be tru at once- she’s full of shit and she’s smart and charismatic
As a heroin addict who struggled with addiction for 17 years and am now 10 years clean and sober I feel like I have to comment on this.." heroin addiction has a predictable pathway, it affects our minds and takes over our lives. The story we Tell around that varies depending on where we are in terms of time and loss from this path usually it's some form of denial and justification it affects us all the same because it changes our brain and takes over our lives. You can be really smart and intelligent and every other area of your life but when it comes to heroin addiction we need help to get free from it's death grip.
I hope you find the humility to Free yourself and get your life back because the loss is never ending so it finally takes your life. My suggestion is before you lose any more of your precious time and dignity is.. go to treatment get medically detoxed and then get into na or AA or some kind of support group with others like you otherwise your chances of saving yourself are slim.
I wish you the best because this is the struggle that will define your entire life.
God bless you ❤️
So delusional. I feel for her. She needs to recognize the addiction is why she's doing all this. She has the potential to get clean if she will admit the problem.
Nope she is the real deal
nope not delusional at all you are just a troll
For prostitute having been her label, she didn’t say much about being one except that she hates it (min 22:15). She also implied she’s got plenty of money (including a fancy house in “Madisonville on the river)” so one would assume she doesn’t need to do it. At her age, this wouldn’t be a huge source of money anyway unless she’s got some crazy tricks she didn’t mention . Then she said she’s never ever ever giving up heroin, but didn’t really explain why she’s doing it. Most people who never give up doing heroin are doing it to get high and as a result have ever increasing habits that become increasingly difficult to manage (and pay for). However, she explained she strictly manages her heroin habit. So why is she taking heroin? One must assume it’s not to get high because she would have to be taking more and more of it to get high. Is she managing some sort of pain with heroin? She doesn’t explain this conundrum. Smart lady but a lot of hanging facts. Too bad because a lot of what she said makes a lot of sense and a lot of what she said is very true. It’s very unsettling when the truth is mixed with things that are hard to believe. Makes you doubt the whole thing.
Of course, most prostitutes don’t want to identify as one and don’t like to talk about it normally. My guess is she is stretching the hell out of the truth on some things
No one believes a liar, even if she is telling the truth.
At the beginning she said she started when she was diagnosed with leukemia to help with the pain after oxys got too expensive
Yeah I believe she said that she’s taking it to manage her pain and seizures?? Headaches were mentioned as well
She claims to have been diagnosed with CML in 2018 and has been living on the streets for the last-ten years.
She also said that’s he started using heroin during Katrina, which was over-fifteen years ago.
This woman’s story is lies after lies.
She lost a son, yet doesn't want to go home to the son who is asking her to come home.
Thank you!
If the loss to death part of her story is even true.
That seems to be the part that makes people go soft on end for the rest-of the lies.
What if that’s a lie, too?
It sure is a useful part to her story.
Someone said her kids didn’t die.
Lies after lies literally drop out of her pores - sad, and disgusting, esecially when constantly praising oneself in such grotesque form.
Probably borderline / severe reality-dissociation.
You think so? You may be right. My former boss, a psychologist, used to be able to detect certain disorders in one conversation, he was very intuitive (may he Rip) and your comment reminds me of what he might say. Thank you 😊 for making me think on things just as he did 💛
You both seem gullible.
@@ashleyelizabeth8335 your under every comment you don't agree with bashing the commenter are you a friend of hers or just a troll? Maybe a fellow street walker? This is a comment section your really taking criticism of her hard.

Congratulations on the 4... million....love the channel from UK England
She has a lot to learn! A 6 year habit is just getting started!!! She isn't strong enough to quit what makes her think she will be able to handle withdrawal and the mental anguish that comes with it! This woman keeps saying she's "humble" and then immediately starts to virtue signal and talks about how much better she is than the people she lives with and is just like!!! I'm calling B.S!!!
Yep people who are a certain way don’t have to tell you, they show you.

She initially said she started after Katrina that was 2005😂😂😂😂I’m so confused.
@@Seeingisntbelieving Yeah she’s had a habit longer than 6 years
@@Seeingisntbelieving she started 2015
She's talking left right up down and in circles. Can't really tell how much of her statement is true. I hope she can accept help soon.
I don’t believe anything about her supposed early graduation or her “go to run of the mill” titles of her past occupations. These type of people are so entrenched in lying that they really don’t have an idea of being honest. It’s almost like it’s a perpetual coping mechanism.
@@aggit8 I know her. She is lying. Probably hoping to get Go Fund Me money.
@@gaydenesse4077 So, her sons aren’t dead?
Does she really have cancer?
So, was she a very, very important genius running every company in town?
Whether it's truth, lies, her perception of her reality, our perception oh her reality, there is value in her telling her story. And I am still able take something positive from her interview.
I couldn't agree more.
True
Her delusions are not in her favor.
Love is not weak. It calls things out, so that healing and accountability can take place.
Taking in positivity from lies? Hmmm…
@@brentonvelasquez4875: Right. 🤔
I have known a lot of heroin addicts in my life, and so many of them are liars, but she is like the queen of liars! She’s had a lot of time to hone her craft!
nope not at all
She said "God doesn't judge me". Huh? He judges us all.
I would love to know what Mark actually thought about this interview once it was done.
I thought her feet are swelling, wondering about the health of her liver. 🤔
Yes exactly! I saw that too.
He's diplomatic
He knows that she is full of shit.
She had made up elaborate stories that, in her mind, sets her aside, makes her better than, “those other addicts,” whom she tells us, and herself, she is helping.
She’s just an addict who wants to convince us that she “isn’t like all those other addicts.”
She’s smarter than, better than, prettier than, more successful than, more sophisticated than, more spiritual than, more everything, more humble then, of course.
She has the answers for everyone else.
Poor woman is a hot mess.
She may be among the sickest-of-the sick we have seen.
She’s also gacked out of her gourd for this interview.
The very swollen feet are concerning
It's incredible how easy it is to spot bs when it comes....maybe not for everyone but if you've only lived a little bit you can.
Some people just have that need to story up the reality reason or not, it's pathology
An addict knows the mind of an addict😉 I have one, shid I am one of them😢 The smoke we blow up peoples azz's 🤦♀️
@Ljudi Čovjek
I so agree! I am only 5 min 15 seconds in and I know she's full of crap. It's lie upon lie upon lie. She's insecure so she's making herself into something she's not. I mean, she claims to be a registered nurse (R. N.) yet cannot even pronounce "myeloid." Full of crap, absolutely. And yet I would bet as I continue to read through the comments I'll see all the "She's so lovely, and has been through so much, poor thing," kind of crap.
It's nice to see someone else who gets it. Cheers, Ljudi!
@@marykaminskie4645 I’m sure she makes good money but her habit owns her that’s why she lives were she lives drugs are close. I think she is grieving still and punishing herself. But not realizing her living son needs her
This woman is full of crap. Their is a man in the comments who actually knows her and she's a loon he said. I'm a real nurse she has no idea what she's talking about wow. So sad.
@@angelsbutterflies6293 I’m also an RN.
Trust us:
to her, she’s a nurse.
to Mark, she’s a nurse.
to her audience, she’s a nurse.
But, to a nurse, she’s no nurse.
Hard watching her lie to herself. The first step to fight addiction is to be honest with yourself.
Exactly. She has to get honest and take that first step and admit powerlessness over your drugs of choice.
Bottom line, she likes being a drug addict and doesn’t mind to
Give away her whole life to continue her drug use. Notice how much she mention big houses. She wishes she had better living conditions but she prefers drugs.
She’s not entirely wrong about the rich McMansion people though. Most of them don’t need/use all that house but it functions as a status symbol.
No one likes being a drug addict.
She says that she hates prostitution.
She also claims that she owns a fabulous house and has lots of money.
If so, why is she selling pussy for fentanyl?
She’s a lot like “Frenchie,” sans the fake French accent. And a lot thirty-years older.
This video is heartbreaking. Poor Monica is undoubtedly suffering so much, mentally and physically (just look at the oedema in her feet and hands) and all people can seem to do is throw judgement with their entrenched misconceptions that psychiatric illness is a character flaw and lifestyle choice. It is NOT! Psychiatric illness often leads to substance abuse and vice versa. Monica needs to be surrounded with love, kindness and support. I so hope she is. No matter how fantastical her story is, she is unwell and is suffering so greatly, and as a fellow human, it is painful to watch. I see through her symptomatic delusions and feel her pain, anyone who fails to, needs an injection of empathy. Is she hurting us with her disordered sense of reality and delusional perception of self? No!! Is she hurting herself? Absolutely. Whatever happened to #BeKind??? Some nasty, judgemental oxygen thieves in this world, judging a clearly very unwell woman from the security and anonymity of their respective screens. Truly the very worst of humanity. Stop judging the psychiatrically ill by your own 'sound of mind' moral standards and instead count your blessings that you are not walking in poor Monica's shoes!! No one truly knows what trauma she has endured in this life to have lead her down this trajectory of self-annihilation. Your health is your wealth and this lady is seriously poorly by the look of the obvious oedema in her feet. She desperately needs kindness that much is certain. It doesn't cost anything to extend a little compassionate kindness to those vulnerable and suffering in pain.
How old is she?
She'll never get what she needs in the hood. She's gotta go back home. But ya know...... drugs.
@@skyepalmer5719 15.
I knew a very rich old lady who went out at night scavenging in her neighbours bins and taking home RUBBISH filling her house into a dump.
I agree with you we know so little of humanity.
Well said! 👏👏👏
I don't know why people think she is making everything up.. I did a very quick search on the first thing she mentioned she did which was being a champion barrel racer. And there she was! She speaks intelligently and eloquently and has a lot of specialized medical knowledge so I completely believe she was also a hospice nurse. I feel so terribly for her and where her life has taken her. I really hope someone can help her turn the corner on this avenue as she clearly has so much to offer and will not last much longer in this lifestyle at her age and obvious vulnerable health.
I did the same google search and did find her. Or the picture definitely looks like her. It gives her state as Oklahoma, though, which I thought was interesting since she says she was from Mandeville (I live in the town next door). I’m trying to figure out who she is, since she CLAIMS to have had all kinds of companies around here (construction, real estate, mortgage - she was BUSY! 😂)
@@deborahhoward5471 How did you look her up? What's her last name?
What did you google to find this information…. Thanks
What name etc did you google to find this information.? Thanks
@@janicegartner5711 Monica Kirby is the name she mentions in the video. She also talks about where she was from - I can't remember off the top of my head now where it was - but I just googled that place with her name and barrel racing and you will find a picture of her.
She does not want to answer questions. She wants to talk to keep from answering questions. Straight doper hustle.
Im from New Orleans and this is on par for the crazy stories someone in addiction here will tell you. You can never truly know what part is true and which isn't.
Not entirely believing her…she contradicts herself so many times.
To all the people in the comments..... In 2018 I was in New Orleans and down on my luck. I met this woman and she was the kindest woman IVE ever met, she let me stay in her beautiful home for 3weeks while she stayed in a one room studio in a bad part of town She also gave me 500 dollars when I left. So she's not lying about having money and a beautiful home
The lies she tells herself are ridiculous. She needs someone putting all of that to rest.
nope
Pathological lying is a requirement to live on the street.
It’s so so heartbreaking how trauma manifest in peoples lives 😢
Sorry, don’t believe a word she says.
👀👀👀 wow 🙈 for once I resonated so much with one of Mark’s interviews and a bunch of you don’t believe her??? 🥹🦋💜🦋
@@LettiesLifeu believe this lady... I would suggest getting help so ur not gullible or conned one day.. sorry but those who know the life...know the life
“I started using prescription drugs after Katrina hit.” Katrina hit in 06. “So I started using prescription drugs around 2016ish.” I don’t know, she’s a little all over the map with her stories. Don’t know if I believe everything she says.
Katrina hit August of 05
@@amanda31395 Yeah, true. She said 06, not me.
I get Dennis Reynolds vibes from her. Nothing she says seems like true and it feels like she sees herself higher than everyone else. Also I feel like in real life she tries to manipulates everyone she is in touch with.
Exactly! I checked into her. No nursing certifications. No state champion barrel racing titles. No property in Mandeville in her name. Stay at home mom but worked as a nurse, mortgage broker, business reorganizer, barrel racer. Grandiose attitude was so bad she became a heroine addict in order to become humble and move away from the snobs. Anyone who believes this lady's story.. I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale.

@@nanmarie8207 lol. Not the best episode with Dennis’s insane egoism or psychotic episodes. The one which he lives in the suburbs is the best one I think.
Personally. I'm sensing a lot of lying in this interview. She also has a bit of an ego going on....but I hope she finds herself eventually.
I call bullshid. Sorry not sorry.🤷♀️ Not judging just saying I don't believe her story. Like the first comment it's the drugs talking. 😢 IMO.
Clare, I was thinking exactly the same thing but afraid to say it for the backlash. Just too many self-serving narratives. I got suspicious when she could not recall when she was diagnosed with leukemia. And the timeline just does not add up. Many addicts make up a past ( or large parts of it ) to find excuses for their present plight.
E G O ...Edging GOD OUT ! ...she is convincing herself of all that she has done. The changes in her stories and her voice ..most of her stories make no sense..." Insurance agent , real-estate agent , RN ........the stories we tell ourselves create the most pain...
@@michelleroque6497 so true and well-said, Michelle. I balked when she claimed that she has a boatload of money "in a bank", but she just doesn't want to dip into it. I really appreciate Mark's enterprise but wonder sometimes if the listeners accept too readily what his subjects tell him.
She's lying so bad. Their is a man in the comments who knows her and she's most definitely lying and he said she's a loon. So sad someone would come on here and make up such lies wow. She needs help and you can tell she lying period.
I hope that telling this story makes her feel better about herself. I find her to be a very pitiful being.
I often wonder what makes us the way we are. I doubt she could be honest enough to tell her real story
"DENYING THE TRUTH DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACTS "
Facts 😉
Deny deny deny just pay me my money so i can call the connect 😨😨
Awesome quote as a beginning user it's what we master
I like her. This is what type A, perfectionist who was not treated well throughout life and in extreme grief looks like. She needs love. Deep, deep love for a looooooong time. That’s what she desperately needs. All this is just to avoid talking about her grief. I wish I could hug her. ♥️♥️
Monica is one of the most interesting people I've ever listened to - this was extremely impactful.
Drugs will make people say the craziest of things. I make it a rule to never believe addicts. Personal experience has proved that right over and over.
I hope you would help those less fortunate than uou. These people are at the height of there addiction. Trust me they are sick mentally physically and spiritually
Being an addict and taking care of sick people is a scary thing! Who are our caretakers today? Insane!!!
It's definitely scary
I do not believe any-of her story.
Did you not catch the seizures and inoperable “brain adhesions?”
At least she read up a little and chose the right cancer to elicit the response required.
She was lyin the whole interview, jus Bc she been around a few ppl with money she talks about having nice things. She was use to ppl taking care of her

@@pri.sci.lla. she got her BS in nursing later on
@@lisaaxe9062 Exactly. She got her business/finance bachelors of science 1st, and then went back to get her bachelors of science in nursing as a RN, and then worked 17 yrs. as a nurse in hospice. A lot of people go back...I did. B-U-T I think she does a lot of "rationalizing" toward the end, trying to convince herself that she's not like the other prostitutes and drug addicts, when she is and is living like one of them. I d-o think she wants to get out but is much more addicted than she wants to admit (i.e. oh, I give away 1/2 my money, I don't need it; I live in a one-room dilapidated part of town because I don't like snobby people and I really don't need much anyway; I plan on going back for my doctorate in history, etc.). A lot of rationalizing and coping with her current dire situation to others...I think she's, sadly, in deep drug addiction.
She lives on the banks of d'Nile and is going downstream!
This poor woman is so lost and I suspect has been for most of her life; I think she could live in her own head forever. She is exhausted, physically sick, and really believes what she is saying makes sense. What a damn sin.
It is very easy to tell she doesn't want to detail her life of prostitution/drugs & wants to be respected for many accomplishments that may OR MAY NOT have happened (I'm leaning towards the latter). It makes sense that she would embellish her life, as a coping mechanism. I wouldn't be surprised if one of her living children contacted Mark & said differently but to each their own 🙂. Whatever comforts her in those harsh streets!
Unfortunately, I had much the same thoughts.
I hate to say it, but I think she is chock-full of inner demons and chock-full of shite.
