I’m a man of 36 years old and I am in tears and pain and happy at the same time for her for the second chance that life have gave her after watching Netflix documentary. I completely understand her situation and of why she made that terrible mistake that took her to be behind bars for 15 years . I went through for a lot of difficulties when I was very young with sexual abuse twice , domestic violence , neglect at early age without protection and love , bullying from day 1 and With the pain of my heart I can totally relate to her except I did not commit a murder but my life got very complicate a lot because of all what I went through which difficult to have a better quality of life and until now I still struggling and carrying it with me with a lot of therapies . She’s a truly inspiring person and I am happy for a new a better future for her Thank you god ❤️🙏🏽 and RIP and god takes you to his glory to the person who died and god bless for all the family
Actually she told Richard Reed who lived at the InTown Suites Motel that she had blown someone's brains out and scored a "fat lick" she didn't even vaguely suggest it was ever self defense , she even laughed about it at one point and told another person she did it execution style. If you look at what she initially said to people she knew at the Motel and friends and family members it's the opposite of what she is saying now. Also Richard Reed said that Cyntoia Brown asked him to take her back to Johnny Allen's house so they could "clean it out" but he declined the offer. law.justia.com/cases/tennessee/court-of-criminal-appeals/2009/browncyntoiadeniseopn.html
She shot a mm in the back of the head while he was possibly sleeping to rob his ass. There was never any evidence he was a threat to her and she lied incessantly about the events of that night. Please see the Tennesseans excellent coverage on this issue
@@cmg4p me too. Also some people are used to certain cues that show you are listening and when you don't people make assumptions. I have learn over the years especially for court cases that people do not want to see how you really respond to things they want you to show them how they think a person should respond.
When I first heard her story I cried but it was tears of anger in the system. Hearing this at the moment I cried again but this time it was tears of Joy. I'm am so happy she is coming out.
I love how jeannie is so passionate about the subject and understanding the life of people imprisoned and the things they have to deal with afterwards because so many people really dont know
If what you mean by that is that she should not have been granted clemency and people shouldnt feel so sorry for her, I agree. She killed this man in cold blood.
She wasn’t trafficked by the guy she killed. she was boney and clide with a man she was in love with and did wat he told her to do. going in someone home and try rob and kill him she used every excuse to justify her action played the victim cause she knew that was the only thing would save her … that was her plan to begin with
I am so happy for her! Can't wait till the day she gets released. She definitely deserves to be free. And I hope she keeps her promise and helps other young girls like her.
Its ridiculous you don't get convicted enough for a rape, but yet when you are taken your innocence away and you defend yourself you get a big sentence. While society may forget the people behind bars convicted unfairly, God does not forget. 💞best wishes for her on her new opportunity in life
Eddie N you’re dumb as hell if you think 16 years old have the brain capacity to make rational decisions ESPECIALLY when they are already living with a mental health condition.
Katoria Queendom yes she does she shot a man in the back while he was asleep, the man didn’t even have sex with her he just let her sleep in his house and she shot him in the the back while he was asleep and robbed him
It's crazy to think that if social media hadn't existed she would still be in prison which means that there could be victims who died in prison for similar reasons who didn't have social media to rescue them😔
this woman LIED about her age and then killed a man in his SLEEP i am so sick of this victimhood foolishness where is the accountability i wonder who next they are gonna release a woman who killed her children i guess who claimed she was abused. ang yes i am a woman
The wrong people are being released. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to help release the crazy lady who killed her two kids because they were supposedly abusing the other siblings.
Cyntoia is an inspiration but people really need to do their research on this case. That viral meme that went on Instagram only told part of the story. There are SO many more details about this case that people should know before acting like they know everything about this case. But she absolutely deserves to be free, welcome back Cyntoia ♥️♥️♥️
An inspiration? Haha. So a young woman who decides to run away from her adoptive mother's home, team up with her boyfriend to turn to prostitution to make ends meet because they were homeless, and then solicit a john who thought she was of age and decide to execute him while he slept while also stealing his belongings, is someone girl's should look up to?! Try Malala for an actual inspiration to young girls.
Brandon Elliott I’ll be totally honest, I was just trying to get people to look into the case without being attacked. I’m fully aware of the depth of this case. I just knew the moment I said anything negative about her release I would get attacked so I wanted people to research the case without just thinking I was a hater. But I agree with some of the points you made
Brandon Elliott also, I should’ve done more research myself before leaving this comment. I looked into the case again after this video and found way more information I wasn’t aware of (the robbery, her gun). So I apologize for leaving the comment when I didn’t have all of the information.
Sorin Kempf That’s sad that you (and lots of other people) feel like they can’t leave their intended comment because they’re afraid of being attacked. This is nothing against you. I’m just responding because I feel the lack of respect for other people‘s opinions are at an all time high and your response highlighted that.
"women like this don't know what it's like to live a normal life" They know very little about Cyntoia Browns past, she was adopted by a school teacher into a stable home at the age of two years old. She admitted she lied on her step-father and said he raped her, the only other abuse she mentions while at home is he slapped her several times and criticized her, and was an alcoholic. As for a normal life she had plenty of food to eat, a nice house to grow up in, nice clothes to wear , etc.. The idea that she never knew a normal life is a bit bizarre. She chose to defy her Mother and run the streets doing drugs, having sex, stealing , skipping school , etc.now when you hear people talking about her upbringing it's always that she was beaten on a daily bases and raped repeatedly and never knew a normal life.
#DomesticViolence I remember the day I met my son's father multi-racial: (German, Filipino, Irish, Cherokee Indian) Me: Dominican and Black. He promised my family he would take care of me. I was pregnant he told me he wanted to be in his sons life we were never married. He took me back to #BaltimoreMaryland - North Carey Street and Franklin? Saratoga about one block from Harlem Ave. The first couple of months were okay then everything became violent 7 months pregnant he cracked one rib bruised another, cracked one jaw and bruised another. I saw my mother go through abuse and I vowed not to follow her lead this guy was tall, handsome, educated, funny, knew chivalry in every sense of the word. Once my son was born things got worse. My brothers found out about it and shot my son's father. (he survived) the bullet went in and went out... my brothers did time for the crime I was floored why should they pay for my situation. I left him and eventually I went back to college: Morgan State University (HBCU) crossed over as Alpha Kappa Alpha - Alpha Delta Chapter Bachelors in Business Administration, Bachelors in Television and Radio Broadcasting, May 2018 I received my Doctoral in Health and Human Services. I now travel in a rental car letting other women now their self-worth. I have travel to 23 cities and small towns to share, witness and minister to other women and young ladies. We must stand in the gap for one another not just talk about women in these situation You will not know what it is unless you have been in the situation it does not start off as Domestic Violence it feels like a whirlwind
I just hope no one tries to mess with her in prison. Those inmates hear you are getting out and they know you have a lot of outside support they get jealous and might try to pick a fight or plant drugs on her to give her more time or sadly even kill her. I pray she is safe and in great care until August. 10 years parole is like being in prison basically but at least she will be on the outside and will be able to go to school and live in the free world. I wish to meet her one day and I want to send her a letter to show my support.
People celebrating this are sick! Cyntoia shot the guy in the back of the head while he was asleep - with a gun she took to the property (ballistics showed it was also used in a robbery which paralysed a woman) - stole money, guns and his truck, met up with her pimp and then split the money. That’s literally what happened, the findings of the the investigation, coroner. I can’t believe people are acting like it’s some big miscarriage of justice. She admitted, and it’s on record, that she told him she was 19. Numerous witnesses told the police after she bragged about the killing and it was premeditated. Her account of a struggle and self defence murder are impossible given he was facing the opposite direction, arms together, asleep in a bed. Actually read about the case instead of watching some biased documentary that was designed to prey on emotion. Read the letter from the lead detective in the case: www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2019/01/08/cyntoia-brown-clemency-case-letter-haslam/2513091002/ Research it. She had an incredibly fucked life, but that doesn’t negate the murder. The murder victim didn’t do that to her. He parents failed her, her pimp took advantage of her. Disgusting people. It’s sad all round. But again, she MURDERED and robbed some guy. That was uncategorically wrong - of which can be proven by actual evidence.
@@BbGun-lw5vi do u know what her iq score is and what instrument was used? Im an educational diagnostician aka sped advocate. Im just curious to know to get a better picture.
AMEN!! THIS IS ALL PURELY BASED ON EMOTION WITHOUT FACTS. Look at the prior crimes she committed. Her history shows that she had a violent streak. Flip this story around. If she were a man, would all these feminists be as supportive vying for his release? Dont think so...
I wonder if Cyntoia was a dark skin regular looking black woman; and NOT Mixed with light skin and racially ambigous. Would she have gotten the SAME SUPPORT and OUTCRY on Social Media attention.
You are correct. There have been studies to prove that people with darker skin or more "ethnic" features are given harsher sentences for the same exact crimes as their lighter skinned counterparts.
Cyntoia Brown said that she was just defending herself and that Johnny Allen was reaching for something on the floor. However Allen was found lying on his right side on the bed with his arms folded underneath his head faced away from Cyntoia Brown he obviously wasn't reaching for anything. The entry wound was at the back of the skull to believe Cyntoia Browns version you would have to believe that Cyntoia brown can move at the speed of sound and then believe that somehow Johnny Allen after getting shot in the back of the head would somehow be able to gently rest on his side and put his hands under his head. Just think about this for a minute how would Cyntoia Brown have the time to reach over to the top of a nightstand get her .40 caliber handgun out of her handbag, chamber the bullet and then turn to shoot him if he was really reaching for a weapon on the floor? Everyone knows with 100% certainty that her defense allegation was totally fabricated and when I say everyone I am referring to the detectives and the forensic experts. Allens guns were also kept in another downstairs room in a gun cabinet when it was located it was noticed that the cabinet was opened and guns were gone so most likely Johnny Allen had no guns in his room at all and Cyntoia Brown took them from the gun cabinet there is no evidence that indicates that Johnny Allen had any Firearms near his bed. Just remember celebrities have the tendency not to really care about evidence they want better ratings regardless.
She also referred to the murder and robbery of Johnny Allen as being the fat lick she had been waiting for. After she shot him in the back of the head and robbed him and stole his truck and after she parked his truck she got a ride back to InTown Suites and spent the next several days on a crack binge with Gary Mcglothen. It also should be noted that the 40 caliber handgun she used to kill Allen with was also used in the shooting of Rachel Browning in Nashville a shooting in which she was paralyzed for life, she died last year still in a wheelchair. She also threatened two men who lived at the InTown Suites with that 40 caliber handgun. She told a Richard Reed that if he didn't keep his mouth shut about what she had told him concerning the murder and robbery he would get it too and threatened to Man by the name of Samuel Humphrey.
I honestly seen some people saying the same thing they said about girls that meet up with R.Kelly... and I had to explain that yes sometimes these girls go willingly but MOST of the time then being offered for sex or whatever is not the reason why they think they are there ! They are tricked into this bs... and sometimes can’t even get out and in her case she defended herself because she wasn’t gonna do something that she knew damn well she didn’t want nor shouldn’t do at a young age ESPECIALLY with an older man ( she was 15 at the time )
Myronn Coleman in this particular circumstance she had agreed to do the deed and she killed him after while he was asleep. I don’t necessarily believe this was a case of self-defense because the man was asleep HOWEVER she was 15 at the time and legally she could not have consented. I think this fact was overlooked when they sentenced her and obviously a lot of other things as well. This poor girl should be out now there’s no sense in them holding her and then only granting her parole she’s served enough time.
Sharon girl nonetheless she was very aware why she was at that clients house lmao. Her being forced in to prostitution doesn’t change that she knew what her line of work was. She knew she was being made to have sex with men for money. We can’t pretend that she didn’t know why she was there
Alexis Spencer no one is pretending anything. These are all facts, she was underage when all of this occurred, there is no way under the eyes of the law was she old enough to consent. Look at all of her circumstances. He parents were fucked up. She ran away. The only thing she CHOSE was the individual she shared a relationship with who turned on her and forced her, beat her, raped her etc. yes, she killed a man. HOWEVER, that man isn’t innocent he was a grown ass man who was killed as he was committing a crime himself. Under the eyea of the law if one is committing a crime and is killed during the act they are infact responsible to their own death. We cannot just pretend that the man she killed was “innocent”. Then she was tried as an adult when she was in fact still not an adult, a harsher punishment. A lot of the public outcry is that this woman is a woman of color and the justice system did not do her right. Whereas a white male can just walk up into a school and shoot INNOCENT individuals who have done nothing to him and claim an insanity plea. This girl more than likely had been mentally abused for years prior. She was also born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome thanks to her drunky of a mother and that hurts your impulse control.
Sharon that’s what I’m saying... and let’s not act like some girls will lie about their age to be with a guy... BUT to be FORCED into something when you didn’t even think that’s what was on your “ partner’s” mind is completely different... she trusted him and he ended up being a pimp and a human trafficker
What a world we live in, where a woman can kill a innocent man, get praise for it, and set free from jail/prison. Unbelievable. Fyi, she chose to be a prostitute.
She killed a good Samaritan, probably the only person to show her kindness in her life. He had his hands underneath his body when she shot him in the back of the head. She killed him so she could rob him. She shouldn't be getting out of prison, but heck, she served more than what she'd get in Europe.
She was adopted by a school teacher when she was 2 years old, she was well provided for, she chose herself to rebel and run wild no one even mentions that at all. She was stealing and committing crimes at 12 years old when she had a nice home to live in, she was so wild her Mother quit reporting her when she went missing because she did it so much. Lots of people showed her kindness she was a bully not the bullied as celebrities present it . She assaulted twenty students and the documentary produced by her psychiatrist presents it as if she was always the victim , everyone was always supposedly picking on her when actually she was known to be quite violent and aggressive.
I said this over a year ago, that what the talk shows and celebrities were not telling us is that there was a group of criminals in Nashville during that period of time who had ties with both Cyntoia Brown and Garion McGlothen Jarvis. The .40 caliber handgun used in the shooting of Johnny Allen was also used in other robberies around Nashville and in the shooting of Rachel Browning on February 7, 2004. The group consisted of Jermaine Hyler known as Jazz, Garion McGlothen known as cut-throat,Tremayne Woods known as Mainy, Jameel Mateen, and Cyntoia Brown. Oh yea I forgot, all of them frequented the In-Town Suites and ran together. Is it just a coincidence that the same gun passed around for several years and used in multiple shootings and robberies was involved with the murder and robbery of Johnny Allen? Garion McGlothen Jarvis had possession of the weapon after the shooting of Rachel Browning and gave the handgun to Cyntoia Brown six months after the Rachel Browning shooting, that handgun was (never) used in defense by any of those people, the self defense claim made by Cyntoia Brown is absolutely absurd." What really happened is that her pimp gave her the gun and said do it like we have done it before( meaning robbing people) of course that's just paraphrasing it but it was close to something like that. Remember Cyntoia Brown referred to the murder and robbery of Johnny Allen as being a "fat lick".
No it’s because she shot an innocent man in the back while he was asleep and robbed him, if someone did that to someone I know I would want them on probation
Wow I love the social advocacy for criminal justice! But honestly this woman deserved to be in prison for at least the time she'd spent there. 10 years probation is absolutely necessary. I don't agree with this narrative of her being a victim of human trafficking, this belittles actual victims. Yes she had a rough life, both by choice and circumstances. I feel sorry for her as a human being and her life experiences but at the same time she made a decision to take a life. Whether this guy was pedophile or just a regular John (which i'm leaning on the latter based on her account of the situation), he did not deserve to die. People are mixing him up to being her "pimp/boyfriend", they are different people. At the end of the day that man may not have been perfect but he didn't deserve to die. I'm glad she was sentenced for time for her crime. I really believe it helped rehabilitate her for reentry in society (which should be the purpose of prison). Had she never been locked up I think she would have ended up in a destructive cycle. I'm happy she served time, grew from it, and is a better person to reenter society. Probation is still necessary for accountability.
She shot him while he was sleeping and on the back of the head and claimed she shot him while he was trying to attack her, which forensic proved was a LIE. If she was remorseful instead of lying she would've gotten less time. Too many people rely on emotions rather than LOOKING UP THE CASE and looking at FACTS before going on twitter or instagram.
From what I've read, she did kill him while he was sleeping, robbed his ass and went back to her pimp. This also changed my opinion on this case. But I do think trying her as an adult, was wrong.
Eddie N her life was fucked up from the beginning her parents were awful. She got into a relationship with a man who became her pimp and he was abusive etc. I don’t belive the self defense because the man was asleep she could have left however, we also don’t know what her mind was like at that time. She was underage, which means she was not able to give consent to anything that happened to her even if she “chose” that life. Being tried as an adult was unfair when she was not an adult to begin with.
omg so we letting female murderers out a jail now under the guise that they are victims?! a woman can do anything nowadays all she has to do is say she was a victim and she need not worry what is this crazy world coming to
I don’t feel she was a victim She had a great adoptive mother and kept running away from home She called her mother and said she executed a man, what victim says that
It's a misconception that her life was hard, just about everything negative that happened to her was a result of her own actions. She was adopted by a schoolteacher at 2 years old who provided her with an upper middle-class home,she had plenty of food,clothes, etc.. she started rebelling against her mother at 12 years old and she started running the streets for days committing truancy, doing drugs, drinking alcohol, committing crimes, she committed her first crime grand larceny at 12 years old and that was just the beginning. Her adoptive mother had tried for several years to get her under control before she took off for Nashville in 2004, her mother doesn't even live in Nashville she lives in Clarksville.
It would be amazing to see these big celebs who've supported Cyntoia, continue that support by helping her find employment that will give her stability and a bright future!
Bek Nicole when she’s out she’ll be the hottest commodity for news outlets and have book deals and life time movie contracts waiting for her. And she’ll deserve it because her story needs to be told for any other girl out there stuck in the same circumstances.
Being traficked is no reason to kill a human life.Leave it to feminists to make murder ok in "Self defense". She was 16, therefore she wasnt a victim. Its not like she was traficked at 2 yrs old!
Kat Aseef that isn’t what feminism is about🙄 she was 15 = UNDERAGE. She ran away because her parents were not fit to be parents and she got into a relationship with someone who took advantage of her and then BECAME her pimp and FORCED her into prostitution. She was NOT 18 therefore she could not legally have consented to anything AND SHE WAS TRIED AS AN ADULT WHEN SHE WAS STILL UNDERAGE. I’m not going to defend her and say she didn’t kill someone because she did the man was asleep and then she robbed him, but under the circumstances she took a pedophile off the streets. That man was grown and knew better than to be messing with a minor He also committed a crime and under the law if one is committing a crime and is hurt or killed it is still considered their fault.
Im sorry jeanie but this girl deserved this. She shot this man asleep in the back, stole his money then stole his truck. SHe killed a man because she was selling herself. She killed someones family memeber. The sentence she got was very much fair and she deserved to serve that time for the choice she made. What are laws for
They are now profiting off her past heinous actions. When I first saw the documentary I thought she was a victim but the truth is she was completely wild at the age of 12 committing all kinds of crimes and had a stable home to live in. She even admitted to lying on her step Father about him raping her she wanted him out of the way so she could do anything she wanted.
This is why we did away with jury trials in Singapore. Get the judges who studied the law and cannot be played by the theatrics of lawyers to judge fairly on the issue and get due process through appellate courts.
Also what they're not mentioning is that Cyntoia Brown had a stable home to live in , she was adopted at 2 years old. They are perpetrating a lie when they say "you have to remember girls like this don't understand what it's like to live a normal life". Cyntoia Brown had a fairly normal life her adoptive Mother provided shelter, food, clothes, tried to keep her school, etc., Cyntoia Brown chose to be completely defiant and rebellious, she would run the streets for days when she was 13 years old, her Mother didn't know what to do. Her Mother finally gave up and in her own words they "parted ways." From 12 -16 she got progressively worse until she ended up robbing people and shooting Allen in the back of the head, the truth is she laughed about it and thought she was a bad azz until she realized she might spend the rest of her life in prison or until she was practically a senior citizen, then she became a victim and voila freedom is calling.
illy Dog, ain't nobody watches this show anymore. Don't be fooled by UA-cam commenters. Now that they are fighting over money especially when the show ain't earning as much as they would like to make!!
Michie Oo the fighting over money thing is just rumours. If you want to believe rumours go ahead, but I doubt they are true. If nobody watches the show anymore, how are they still on air? How have they won an emmy? How have they been renewed again and again since your edgeless fave was dumped like the ghetto trash that she is? You were so confident the show wouldn’t last without her and years later, here they are. Stay pressed 😘
My only worry is what happends when she gets out, will everyone would is so passionate about her help her or forget? She’s been locked in for 15years she has no idea how much things have changed
She did 15 years. She has to wait until August to be released & then on top of that be on probation for another 10 years. We MUST redefine what freedom looks like in this country because this some straight BS ‼️ I pray the rest of her life makes up for time lost.
i grew up in a culture where women do not speak we are covered from head to toe I was raped and sold into Human Trafficking from ages 6-16 raped by 16 people in my family my grandmother told me I was never going to be anything and put a mattress on my back by the time i was 24 years old with 4 children. I completed high school but with my last son while pregnant I had a cracked rib a bruised rib a cracked jaw and bruised jaw I turned to the dark side I became a body entertainer (exotic dancer), then I started entertaining men of power in and around Potomac, Maryland. Although I completed a Bachelors in Business Administration and a Bachelors in Television and Radio Broadcasting.. ME???

God kept away diseases and harm. One night I thought I heard the Holy Spirit call my whole name I cried and cried I did not think I had any tear ducts left! 20 years in darkness God delivered me out of Human Trafficking, Domestic Violence, Prostitution, being a Lesbian, dating transgender men (Female to Male) sleeping with the enemy (ME)!

We will be married July 02, 2019 in Chicago #LookAtGod ...God does not want us to be alone or without anything .... God promised us everything and he has and he will do it! (in tears) Praise God .. Thank you for Reading ... Be ever blessed may God send his angels to build a fence of protection around you in Jesus name AMEN! I travel from town to town and city to city telling other women they are loved by a older man 2000 years old and his name is ...what? JESUS!
There was never any indication she felt threatened by Johnny Allen he was asleep and his hands were clasped under his head and he was facing away from her when she shot him. His firearms were kept in another location of his house in another room. I believe I read he had a gun cabinet in another room, so how he could be asleep with his hands clasped and somehow be reaching for a gun is anyone's guess.
She shouldn't be released still maintaining a lie, Johnny Allen was shot in the back of the head while most likely asleep, the gun she used had been used in other robberies and a shooting that left a women paralyzed. Allen's firearms were kept in a gun cabinet in other location in his house he didn't have a gun in his room to reach for. The documentary omits so many facts about her actions and life it's insulting to think they would believe no one would care to do any research on it.
I understand but it wasn’t human trafficking, she went out looking for it. it’s sad that the law sent her to prison but the reason she was sent because it’s still considered manslaughter despite it being self defense
Eddie N I literally just said it’s still considered man slaughter even though she said it was self defense, meaning it doesn’t matter to the courts if it was self defense or not she still killed someone. idk where u randomly added in that I think killing people is nothing
Eddie N Eddie N she claimed it was self defense, since u already know that I shouldn’t have had to further explain what my comment meant, to u. I didn’t twist my words, I elaborated since u clearly didn’t understand, since u claimed i’m okay with murder but whatever this is literally pointless so goodbye
YES! I have been rooting for her for years!! GD blessed her with that Governor for real! First time i saw her documentary i said "Man! This girl too damn fine to rot away in a friggin cell!
The picture is actually from a parole hearing last year. But her reaction was reported in a press conference. I have followed the case for some years....knew about it before Rihanna made a tweet. She has gone through an amazing transformation. The Cyntoia of today is far different from the Cyntoia seen in the documentary. These cases aren't uncommon. Not long before Brown....there was Sara Kruzan... another incredible story.
It wasn't self defense though. Johnny was in a sleeping position when he was shot in the back of the head with a gun that Cyntoia brought to the scene of the crime.
When detectives first interviewed her on August 7, 2004 right after the murder and robbery which was video recorded so anyone could hear the questions asked and the answers given by Cyntoia Brown, she gave them her date of birth as being January 29, 1985. She had probably given that date of birth so many times that it came naturally and was memorized. Based on that false date of birth detectives arraigned her as an adult until they discovered her real date of birth as being January 29, 1988. She admitted during that interview that she lied to Johnny Allen about her age which brings up several legitimate questions. One important question is why would she tell Johnny Allen her age unless he had asked her, and why would he care how young she was if in fact he really was a pedophile as people are repeating now after her clemency? Probably he asked her, her age because he didn't want to have sex with anyone under the age of consent , in hindsight he should have asked her for an ID although fake ID is readily available also. Of course it should be noted that the age of consent is a non sequitur to justifying premeditated murder . If Johnny Allen was forcibly attempting to rape Cyntoia Brown self defense could be claimed easily but Cyntoia Brown testified that her and Allen never had sex and that no money was ever exchanged and that Allen never assaulted her or attempted to rape her. So you have to wonder why people keep saying Cyntoia Brown killed her rapist ? If they didn't have sex how did he rape her? There is a complete disconnect with reality in asserting that Cyntoia Brown killed her rapist. She also during that video recorded interview said that she shot Johnny Allen because people had raped her in the past and she wasn't taking any chances yet told the detectives Allen never attempted to sexually assault her in any way. When Brown was living with a woman by the name of Shocoha Armstrong in 2004 before she met McGlothen ,according to Armstrong she was partying in adult nightclubs sometimes all night long and was having sex with older men for drugs or money. How did she get into adult nightclubs they run the risk of having their business licenses pulled for allowing minors in, did Cyntoia Brown have a fake ID to get in, * those are questions worth asking.
They never mention that there is a video recording of her telling the detectives that she told Johnny Allen she was 18 years old. If you read between the lines it's easy to see that Johnny Allen was not going to give her any money unless they had sex, he would give her food, and place to sleep , be cordial etc. but he wasn't going to give her any money without any sex. A blanket and pillow was found on the floor of another room it suggest he told her she could sleep there or with him. So when she didn't reciprocate his advances he just shrugged it off and let it go and turned over and went to sleep then she decided the only way she was going to get that "big lick" was to Rob him which she planned to do all along that's why she was carrying the .40 caliber to begin with. The problem she faced was how was she going to simply Rob him and get away unscathed he would reach his firearms fairly quick and might locate her using his truck? She knew it was too risky to try to go into his wallet him having weapons and being an ex-marksman and veteran so she shot him in the back of the head that way she could get that "big lick" she and rotten pimp daddy was waiting for. Self defense was total hogwash.
I understand it being wrong that she was tried as an adult but she deserves to be in jail. She shot an innocent man in his sleep for no reason (She told him she was 18 and they didn't even have sex), robbed him, and took his stuff back to her pimp. Why are we making this about sex trafficking when it's really just about her murdering someone?
Yes ma'am you so right that a great thing she getting out but a life was lost and that's something him and his family can never get back she kinda knew wut she was doing wasn't force to go with the guy
Thank you she was not a sex slave, she was not forced into this life style she made a choice to be what she was. She killed a defenseless man in his sleep. People are not reading the story correct. One celebrity said free her and everybody followed without reading facts first.
So if SOCIAL MEDIA did NOT EXIST then Cyntoia would probably be spending the rest of her life in PRISON!!!!
Agreed, I agree social media can have negative influences and stuff but there's also good stuff within social media. This being one of them.
This is so true.
Agreed !!!
Yup
I guess there would be something else...people always find a way.
Cyntoia looks like Tamera 😦
Yes! I always thought that when I saw her pictures.
Right
Lol exactly what I was thinking too 😂😂😂
They're both biracial
Salma Reda omg yas
Cyntonia’s innocent smile reminds me of Tamera for some reason . I KNEW it was someone she reminded me of when I seen that picture on FB .
She actually talks and acts a lot like Tamera!
She does !
Yes they lookalike . Both gorgeous
K
I thought the exact same thing 💓
A dream deferred is not a dream denied.
LabelMe 4C Amen 🙏🏼
LabelMe 4C - Well said
That's beautiful
POWERFULLY put!!!!
I remember watching a documentary about her like 5 years ago. Crazy. Good for her.
the boss did he not sell her body to people? Just gonn forget about that part?
j j me too
She’s not the first person to be released from prison and she won’t be the last
She shots child sex offender. Selling children is illegal. She was 16. She saved herself and many others. I say Cyntoyia Brown is a HERO. . .
I’m a man of 36 years old and I am in tears and pain and happy at the same time for her for the second chance that life have gave her after watching Netflix documentary.
I completely understand her situation and of why she made that terrible mistake that took her to be behind bars for 15 years .
I went through for a lot of difficulties when I was very young with sexual abuse twice , domestic violence , neglect at early age without protection and love , bullying from day 1 and With the pain of my heart I can totally relate to her except I did not commit a murder but my life got very complicate a lot because of all what I went through which difficult to have a better quality of life and until now I still struggling and carrying it with me with a lot of therapies .
She’s a truly inspiring person and I am happy for a new a better future for her
Thank you god ❤️🙏🏽 and RIP and god takes you to his glory to the person who died and god bless for all the family
Actually she told Richard Reed who lived at the InTown Suites Motel that she had blown someone's brains out and scored a "fat lick" she didn't even vaguely suggest it was ever self defense , she even laughed about it at one point and told another person she did it execution style. If you look at what she initially said to people she knew at the Motel and friends and family members it's the opposite of what she is saying now. Also Richard Reed said that Cyntoia Brown asked him to take her back to Johnny Allen's house so they could "clean it out" but he declined the offer.

People don't see you as a victim if they can't see you as human. Its rare that empathy is extended to women and young girls of color.
She shot a mm in the back of the head while he was possibly sleeping to rob his ass.
There was never any evidence he was a threat to her and she lied incessantly about the events of that night.
Please see the Tennesseans excellent coverage on this issue
I am loving that color on Jeannie!!
Just wanted to mention it
Loni looks so checked out when others are speaking 🤣🤣
It's so weird
She wants her own show, they all kind of seem like they don't want to be there.
She looks like she’s processing her thoughts to me 🤷🏽♀️
@@cmg4p me too. Also some people are used to certain cues that show you are listening and when you don't people make assumptions. I have learn over the years especially for court cases that people do not want to see how you really respond to things they want you to show them how they think a person should respond.
I noticed maybe she's just listening carefully
When I first heard her story I cried but it was tears of anger in the system. Hearing this at the moment I cried again but this time it was tears of Joy. I'm am so happy she is coming out.
The system sucks. Rich girl. It would be HERO and self defense. A poor girl. Ya going down town. Police station.
I love how jeannie is so passionate about the subject and understanding the life of people imprisoned and the things they have to deal with afterwards because so many people really dont know
She needs to be out and without parole she lost her childhood and majority of her life. God bless her heart and soul and cover her in the blood!
She murdered a man in cold blood... What is wrong with you?
There are some sick ass ppl in this world
I wish more people did their research in this case.
If what you mean by that is that she should not have been granted clemency and people shouldnt feel so sorry for her, I agree. She killed this man in cold blood.
the amplitude of their cheers was sickening. These people are complete morons.
If they actually went over the evidence they would be appalled at what a sociopath she was and is.
Lola Lopez 😂😂😣shut the fuckup
She wasn’t trafficked by the guy she killed. she was boney and clide with a man she was in love with and did wat he told her to do. going in someone home and try rob and kill him she used every excuse to justify her action played the victim cause she knew that was the only thing would save her … that was her plan to begin with
I am so happy for her! Can't wait till the day she gets released. She definitely deserves to be free. And I hope she keeps her promise and helps other young girls like her.
Loni and Adrienne not clapping when Jeannie shouted out Kim Kardashian ☕️ 🐸
Its ridiculous you don't get convicted enough for a rape, but yet when you are taken your innocence away and you defend yourself you get a big sentence. While society may forget the people behind bars convicted unfairly, God does not forget. 💞best wishes for her on her new opportunity in life
Eddie N do 13 year old underage boys "choose" too? Or just girls?
Eddie N you’re dumb as hell if you think 16 years old have the brain capacity to make rational decisions ESPECIALLY when they are already living with a mental health condition.
She should not have been locked up in the first place. She also doesn't deserve to be on parole.
Katoria Queendom yes she does she shot a man in the back while he was asleep, the man didn’t even have sex with her he just let her sleep in his house and she shot him in the the back while he was asleep and robbed him
She deserves the death penalty, she is trash.
It's crazy to think that if social media hadn't existed she would still be in prison which means that there could be victims who died in prison for similar reasons who didn't have social media to rescue them😔
Why loni ain’t never clap though 🤣🤣
UMNIA HASSABALLA that’s what I’m saying!! Hmm 🤔
Too lazy
Her arms hurt!
Shes so annoying sometimes
Because she hadn't had a chance to speak...does every one clap every TIME you speak bitch? Hell No!!! Then shut up
Why should we "give it up to celebrities" who did practically no research into the evidence of the case ? Seriously
There is something that warms the heart,..when justice wins out. Whose cutting onions ???
this woman LIED about her age and then killed a man in his SLEEP i am so sick of this victimhood foolishness where is the accountability i wonder who next they are gonna release a woman who killed her children i guess who claimed she was abused. ang yes i am a woman
@@elcb845 Good lord, you people are dumb.
The wrong people are being released. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to help release the crazy lady who killed her two kids because they were supposedly abusing the other siblings.
she always looked like Tamara so funny that now they are commeting her at Real...so happy for her
You are happy for a criminal, robber, and murderer to be released back into society?
Cyntoia is an inspiration but people really need to do their research on this case. That viral meme that went on Instagram only told part of the story. There are SO many more details about this case that people should know before acting like they know everything about this case. But she absolutely deserves to be free, welcome back Cyntoia ♥️♥️♥️
Highly recommend watching Kendall Rae’s video on Cyntoia. There is so much more to this case that people don’t even know about...
An inspiration? Haha. So a young woman who decides to run away from her adoptive mother's home, team up with her boyfriend to turn to prostitution to make ends meet because they were homeless, and then solicit a john who thought she was of age and decide to execute him while he slept while also stealing his belongings, is someone girl's should look up to?! Try Malala for an actual inspiration to young girls.
Brandon Elliott I’ll be totally honest, I was just trying to get people to look into the case without being attacked. I’m fully aware of the depth of this case. I just knew the moment I said anything negative about her release I would get attacked so I wanted people to research the case without just thinking I was a hater. But I agree with some of the points you made
Brandon Elliott also, I should’ve done more research myself before leaving this comment. I looked into the case again after this video and found way more information I wasn’t aware of (the robbery, her gun). So I apologize for leaving the comment when I didn’t have all of the information.
Sorin Kempf That’s sad that you (and lots of other people) feel like they can’t leave their intended comment because they’re afraid of being attacked. This is nothing against you. I’m just responding because I feel the lack of respect for other people‘s opinions are at an all time high and your response highlighted that.
"women like this don't know what it's like to live a normal life"
They know very little about Cyntoia Browns past, she was adopted by a school teacher into a stable home at the age of two years old. She admitted she lied on her step-father and said he raped her, the only other abuse she mentions while at home is he slapped her several times and criticized her, and was an alcoholic. As for a normal life she had plenty of food to eat, a nice house to grow up in, nice clothes to wear , etc.. The idea that she never knew a normal life is a bit bizarre. She chose to defy her Mother and run the streets doing drugs, having sex, stealing , skipping school , etc.now when you hear people talking about her upbringing it's always that she was beaten on a daily bases and raped repeatedly and never knew a normal life.
GOD continue to BLESS you Dearheart..What happens in the dark always comes to the LIGHT...😁😁😁🙊🙈🙉😇💕
Love the beautiful Queens of The Real 💗😘💯.... Well god has a plan for her 💯 blessings to her.
Yessss Queen at 3:04 ...the hair, the skin, the earrings ....give me life my Melanated Sister!! 🙌
Yes!!! Was waiting for this...
#DomesticViolence I remember the day I met my son's father multi-racial: (German, Filipino, Irish, Cherokee Indian) Me: Dominican and Black. He promised my family he would take care of me. I was pregnant he told me he wanted to be in his sons life we were never married. He took me back to #BaltimoreMaryland - North Carey Street and Franklin? Saratoga about one block from Harlem Ave. The first couple of months were okay then everything became violent 7 months pregnant he cracked one rib bruised another, cracked one jaw and bruised another. I saw my mother go through abuse and I vowed not to follow her lead this guy was tall, handsome, educated, funny, knew chivalry in every sense of the word. Once my son was born things got worse. My brothers found out about it and shot my son's father. (he survived) the bullet went in and went out... my brothers did time for the crime I was floored why should they pay for my situation. I left him and eventually I went back to college: Morgan State University (HBCU) crossed over as Alpha Kappa Alpha - Alpha Delta Chapter Bachelors in Business Administration, Bachelors in Television and Radio Broadcasting, May 2018 I received my Doctoral in Health and Human Services. I now travel in a rental car letting other women now their self-worth. I have travel to 23 cities and small towns to share, witness and minister to other women and young ladies. We must stand in the gap for one another not just talk about women in these situation You will not know what it is unless you have been in the situation it does not start off as Domestic Violence it feels like a whirlwind
Shout out to all the women/men who have been advocating for her and others alike for years!!! Y'all did this! 👏
She spent damn near half her life in prison, no healthy experiences in the outside. I hope she receives help.
I just hope no one tries to mess with her in prison. Those inmates hear you are getting out and they know you have a lot of outside support they get jealous and might try to pick a fight or plant drugs on her to give her more time or sadly even kill her. I pray she is safe and in great care until August. 10 years parole is like being in prison basically but at least she will be on the outside and will be able to go to school and live in the free world. I wish to meet her one day and I want to send her a letter to show my support.
People celebrating this are sick!
Cyntoia shot the guy in the back of the head while he was asleep - with a gun she took to the property (ballistics showed it was also used in a robbery which paralysed a woman) - stole money, guns and his truck, met up with her pimp and then split the money. That’s literally what happened, the findings of the the investigation, coroner. I can’t believe people are acting like it’s some big miscarriage of justice. She admitted, and it’s on record, that she told him she was 19. Numerous witnesses told the police after she bragged about the killing and it was premeditated. Her account of a struggle and self defence murder are impossible given he was facing the opposite direction, arms together, asleep in a bed. Actually read about the case instead of watching some biased documentary that was designed to prey on emotion. Read the letter from the lead detective in the case: www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2019/01/08/cyntoia-brown-clemency-case-letter-haslam/2513091002/
Research it. She had an incredibly fucked life, but that doesn’t negate the murder. The murder victim didn’t do that to her. He parents failed her, her pimp took advantage of her. Disgusting people. It’s sad all round. But again, she MURDERED and robbed some guy. That was uncategorically wrong - of which can be proven by actual evidence.
Truth.
totally agree
@@BbGun-lw5vi do u know what her iq score is and what instrument was used? Im an educational diagnostician aka sped advocate. Im just curious to know to get a better picture.
AMEN!! THIS IS ALL PURELY BASED ON EMOTION WITHOUT FACTS. Look at the prior crimes she committed. Her history shows that she had a violent streak. Flip this story around. If she were a man, would all these feminists be as supportive vying for his release? Dont think so...
@@chrisno6669 she not stupid and nowhere near. She is articulate enough to where her iq level would have nothing to do with her actions.
I wonder if Cyntoia was a dark skin regular looking black woman; and NOT Mixed with light skin and racially ambigous.
Would she have gotten the SAME SUPPORT and OUTCRY on Social Media attention.
These aren't the fucking questions you need to be asking. And YES, she would.
@Posh, shut yo dumbass up!!!
And I say what the F*CK I WANT TO SAY!!!!!
@Shay91, I agree with you completely!
People are VERY COLORSTRUCK!!!!
You are correct. There have been studies to prove that people with darker skin or more "ethnic" features are given harsher sentences for the same exact crimes as their lighter skinned counterparts.
@Quasez, EXACTLY!!!!
I have seen those studies as well.
A true miscarriage of justice. She should still be in prison. 😓😓😓😓
Cyntoia Brown said that she was just defending herself and that Johnny Allen was reaching for something on the floor. However Allen was found lying on his right side on the bed with his arms folded underneath his head faced away from Cyntoia Brown he obviously wasn't reaching for anything. The entry wound was at the back of the skull to believe Cyntoia Browns version you would have to believe that Cyntoia brown can move at the speed of sound and then believe that somehow Johnny Allen after getting shot in the back of the head would somehow be able to gently rest on his side and put his hands under his head.
Just think about this for a minute how would Cyntoia Brown have the time to reach over to the top of a nightstand get her .40 caliber handgun out of her handbag, chamber the bullet and then turn to shoot him if he was really reaching for a weapon on the floor? Everyone knows with 100% certainty that her defense allegation was totally fabricated and when I say everyone I am referring to the detectives and the forensic experts. Allens guns were also kept in another downstairs room in a gun cabinet when it was located it was noticed that the cabinet was opened and guns were gone so most likely Johnny Allen had no guns in his room at all and Cyntoia Brown took them from the gun cabinet there is no evidence that indicates that Johnny Allen had any Firearms near his bed. Just remember celebrities have the tendency not to really care about evidence they want better ratings regardless.
She also referred to the murder and robbery of Johnny Allen as being the fat lick she had been waiting for. After she shot him in the back of the head and robbed him and stole his truck and after she parked his truck she got a ride back to InTown Suites and spent the next several days on a crack binge with Gary Mcglothen. It also should be noted that the 40 caliber handgun she used to kill Allen with was also used in the shooting of Rachel Browning in Nashville a shooting in which she was paralyzed for life, she died last year still in a wheelchair. She also threatened two men who lived at the InTown Suites with that 40 caliber handgun. She told a Richard Reed that if he didn't keep his mouth shut about what she had told him concerning the murder and robbery he would get it too and threatened to Man by the name of Samuel Humphrey.
I honestly seen some people saying the same thing they said about girls that meet up with R.Kelly... and I had to explain that yes sometimes these girls go willingly but MOST of the time then being offered for sex or whatever is not the reason why they think they are there ! They are tricked into this bs... and sometimes can’t even get out and in her case she defended herself because she wasn’t gonna do something that she knew damn well she didn’t want nor shouldn’t do at a young age ESPECIALLY with an older man ( she was 15 at the time )
Myronn Coleman in this particular circumstance she had agreed to do the deed and she killed him after while he was asleep. I don’t necessarily believe this was a case of self-defense because the man was asleep HOWEVER she was 15 at the time and legally she could not have consented. I think this fact was overlooked when they sentenced her and obviously a lot of other things as well. This poor girl should be out now there’s no sense in them holding her and then only granting her parole she’s served enough time.
Alexis Spencer I still don’t see how people don’t understand that she was FORCED into prostitution.
Sharon girl nonetheless she was very aware why she was at that clients house lmao. Her being forced in to prostitution doesn’t change that she knew what her line of work was. She knew she was being made to have sex with men for money. We can’t pretend that she didn’t know why she was there
Alexis Spencer no one is pretending anything. These are all facts, she was underage when all of this occurred, there is no way under the eyes of the law was she old enough to consent. Look at all of her circumstances. He parents were fucked up. She ran away. The only thing she CHOSE was the individual she shared a relationship with who turned on her and forced her, beat her, raped her etc. yes, she killed a man. HOWEVER, that man isn’t innocent he was a grown ass man who was killed as he was committing a crime himself. Under the eyea of the law if one is committing a crime and is killed during the act they are infact responsible to their own death. We cannot just pretend that the man she killed was “innocent”. Then she was tried as an adult when she was in fact still not an adult, a harsher punishment. A lot of the public outcry is that this woman is a woman of color and the justice system did not do her right. Whereas a white male can just walk up into a school and shoot INNOCENT individuals who have done nothing to him and claim an insanity plea. This girl more than likely had been mentally abused for years prior. She was also born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome thanks to her drunky of a mother and that hurts your impulse control.
Sharon that’s what I’m saying... and let’s not act like some girls will lie about their age to be with a guy... BUT to be FORCED into something when you didn’t even think that’s what was on your “ partner’s” mind is completely different... she trusted him and he ended up being a pimp and a human trafficker
Cyntoia reminds of a young Tia/ Tamara during sister sister
2:33 I felt that in my heart! Amen for good change
Yessssssssssssssss ❤❤ I've been waiting for this to happen 😍😍😍😍
I’m from/live in TENNESSEE and this was such a big headline here and all over social media, good for her! ❤️
What a world we live in, where a woman can kill a innocent man, get praise for it, and set free from jail/prison. Unbelievable. Fyi, she chose to be a prostitute.
Why let a murderer out of jail? Even scarier, why are people happy about it?
@TakeTwoChickens She isn't black.
night hawk - I agree, that's a good question.
She killed a good Samaritan, probably the only person to show her kindness in her life. He had his hands underneath his body when she shot him in the back of the head. She killed him so she could rob him. She shouldn't be getting out of prison, but heck, she served more than what she'd get in Europe.
That good Samaritan was still having sex with a child. I would think he was a pedophile
She was adopted by a school teacher when she was 2 years old, she was well provided for, she chose herself to rebel and run wild no one even mentions that at all. She was stealing and committing crimes at 12 years old when she had a nice home to live in, she was so wild her Mother quit reporting her when she went missing because she did it so much. Lots of people showed her kindness she was a bully not the bullied as celebrities present it .
She assaulted twenty students and the documentary produced by her psychiatrist presents it as if she was always the victim , everyone was always supposedly picking on her when actually she was known to be quite violent and aggressive.
HE SHOULD,nt HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE SEX WITH UNDERAGED CHILD...
I said this over a year ago, that what the talk shows and celebrities were not telling us is that there was a group of criminals in Nashville during that period of time who had ties with both Cyntoia Brown and Garion McGlothen Jarvis. The .40 caliber handgun used in the shooting of Johnny Allen was also used in other robberies around Nashville and in the shooting of Rachel Browning on February 7, 2004. The group consisted of Jermaine Hyler known as Jazz, Garion McGlothen known as cut-throat,Tremayne Woods known as Mainy, Jameel Mateen, and Cyntoia Brown. Oh yea I forgot, all of them frequented the In-Town Suites and ran together.
Is it just a coincidence that the same gun passed around for several years and used in multiple shootings and robberies was involved with the murder and robbery of Johnny Allen? Garion McGlothen Jarvis had possession of the weapon after the shooting of Rachel Browning and gave the handgun to Cyntoia Brown six months after the Rachel Browning shooting, that handgun was (never) used in defense by any of those people, the self defense claim made by Cyntoia Brown is absolutely absurd."
What really happened is that her pimp gave her the gun and said do it like we have done it before( meaning robbing people) of course that's just paraphrasing it but it was close to something like that. Remember Cyntoia Brown referred to the murder and robbery of Johnny Allen as being a "fat lick".
In so glad she got out of this mess she got in at a young age .. God can help people that are innocent
Ten years probation. The system is trying to trap her. August is way to long.
No it’s because she shot an innocent man in the back while he was asleep and robbed him, if someone did that to someone I know I would want them on probation
Wow I love the social advocacy for criminal justice! But honestly this woman deserved to be in prison for at least the time she'd spent there. 10 years probation is absolutely necessary. I don't agree with this narrative of her being a victim of human trafficking, this belittles actual victims. Yes she had a rough life, both by choice and circumstances. I feel sorry for her as a human being and her life experiences but at the same time she made a decision to take a life. Whether this guy was pedophile or just a regular John (which i'm leaning on the latter based on her account of the situation), he did not deserve to die. People are mixing him up to being her "pimp/boyfriend", they are different people. At the end of the day that man may not have been perfect but he didn't deserve to die. I'm glad she was sentenced for time for her crime. I really believe it helped rehabilitate her for reentry in society (which should be the purpose of prison). Had she never been locked up I think she would have ended up in a destructive cycle. I'm happy she served time, grew from it, and is a better person to reenter society. Probation is still necessary for accountability.
Awww cyntoia looks like tamera 😍💕
This poor girl has already been in prison for half her life. I’m glad she’s finally seeing proper justice.
Proper justice would see her share the fate of Johnny Allen
She shot him while he was sleeping and on the back of the head and claimed she shot him while he was trying to attack her, which forensic proved was a LIE. If she was remorseful instead of lying she would've gotten less time. Too many people rely on emotions rather than LOOKING UP THE CASE and looking at FACTS before going on twitter or instagram.
It doesn't matter...she was still a victim...an underage victim..
From what I've read, she did kill him while he was sleeping, robbed his ass and went back to her pimp. This also changed my opinion on this case. But I do think trying her as an adult, was wrong.
So because you’re a victim you can kill random people? Are you stupid @Nielsen?
Melanie X they had sex already and then she killed him from what i’ve read.
Eddie N her life was fucked up from the beginning her parents were awful. She got into a relationship with a man who became her pimp and he was abusive etc. I don’t belive the self defense because the man was asleep she could have left however, we also don’t know what her mind was like at that time. She was underage, which means she was not able to give consent to anything that happened to her even if she “chose” that life. Being tried as an adult was unfair when she was not an adult to begin with.
omg so we letting female murderers out a jail now under the guise that they are victims?! a woman can do anything nowadays all she has to do is say she was a victim and she need not worry what is this crazy world coming to
Yeah....excuses.
I researched the Cyntoia case today, remarkable that she was granted clemency.
I don’t feel she was a victim
She had a great adoptive mother and kept running away from home
She called her mother and said she executed a man, what victim says that
It's a misconception that her life was hard, just about everything negative that happened to her was a result of her own actions. She was adopted by a schoolteacher at 2 years old who provided her with an upper middle-class home,she had plenty of food,clothes, etc.. she started rebelling against her mother at 12 years old and she started running the streets for days committing truancy, doing drugs, drinking alcohol, committing crimes, she committed her first crime grand larceny at 12 years old and that was just the beginning. Her adoptive mother had tried for several years to get her under control before she took off for Nashville in 2004, her mother doesn't even live in Nashville she lives in Clarksville.
It would be amazing to see these big celebs who've supported Cyntoia, continue that support by helping her find employment that will give her stability and a bright future!
Bek Nicole when she’s out she’ll be the hottest commodity for news outlets and have book deals and life time movie contracts waiting for her. And she’ll deserve it because her story needs to be told for any other girl out there stuck in the same circumstances.
@@sharon21924 I agree. She certainly deserves it. 👍
Being traficked is no reason to kill a human life.Leave it to feminists to make murder ok in "Self defense". She was 16, therefore she wasnt a victim. Its not like she was traficked at 2 yrs old!
Kat Aseef that isn’t what feminism is about🙄 she was 15 = UNDERAGE. She ran away because her parents were not fit to be parents and she got into a relationship with someone who took advantage of her and then BECAME her pimp and FORCED her into prostitution. She was NOT 18 therefore she could not legally have consented to anything AND SHE WAS TRIED AS AN ADULT WHEN SHE WAS STILL UNDERAGE. I’m not going to defend her and say she didn’t kill someone because she did the man was asleep and then she robbed him, but under the circumstances she took a pedophile off the streets. That man was grown and knew better than to be messing with a minor He also committed a crime and under the law if one is committing a crime and is hurt or killed it is still considered their fault.
You are AMAZINGLY ignorant AF.
@@sharon21924👏
Eddie N then why are you even here? 😂
Im sorry jeanie but this girl deserved this. She shot this man asleep in the back, stole his money then stole his truck. SHe killed a man because she was selling herself. She killed someones family memeber. The sentence she got was very much fair and she deserved to serve that time for the choice she made. What are laws for
They are now profiting off her past heinous actions. When I first saw the documentary I thought she was a victim but the truth is she was completely wild at the age of 12 committing all kinds of crimes and had a stable home to live in. She even admitted to lying on her step Father about him raping her she wanted him out of the way so she could do anything she wanted.
This is why we did away with jury trials in Singapore. Get the judges who studied the law and cannot be played by the theatrics of lawyers to judge fairly on the issue and get due process through appellate courts.
Yass Loni!! Totally true 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Genie Mal we love the way you bring that soul sisterout genius
Sigh Daytime UA-cam sucks without Wendy😭😭😭 now we have to watch one segment of the real in 3 different uploaded videos😩😩😩😩😩
omg right its shows how money hungry this show is and these women are
Loni had a GREAT point about the importance of how we word/label things.
Good work jeannie.Make sure y'all have her on the show when she is truly free to tell her story.
Also what they're not mentioning is that Cyntoia Brown had a stable home to live in , she was adopted at 2 years old. They are perpetrating a lie when they say "you have to remember girls like this don't understand what it's like to live a normal life". Cyntoia Brown had a fairly normal life her adoptive Mother provided shelter, food, clothes, tried to keep her school, etc., Cyntoia Brown chose to be completely defiant and rebellious, she would run the streets for days when she was 13 years old, her Mother didn't know what to do. Her Mother finally gave up and in her own words they "parted ways."
From 12 -16 she got progressively worse until she ended up robbing people and shooting Allen in the back of the head, the truth is she laughed about it and thought she was a bad azz until she realized she might spend the rest of her life in prison or until she was practically a senior citizen, then she became a victim and voila freedom is calling.
"SHE NEEDS TO BE RELEASED NOW, RIGHT NOW!""AND SHE DOESN'T NEED TO BE ON PAROLE EITHER!" "GOD BLESS HER!"
She should have remained locked up 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Michie Oo you're still watching the real then? I thought you said you'd stop after your muppet fave got fired lmao 😂😂
illy Dog, ain't nobody watches this show anymore. Don't be fooled by UA-cam commenters. Now that they are fighting over money especially when the show ain't earning as much as they would like to make!!
Michie Oo the fighting over money thing is just rumours. If you want to believe rumours go ahead, but I doubt they are true. If nobody watches the show anymore, how are they still on air? How have they won an emmy? How have they been renewed again and again since your edgeless fave was dumped like the ghetto trash that she is? You were so confident the show wouldn’t last without her and years later, here they are. Stay pressed 😘
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥳🥳🥳🥳 it’s about damn time yea!!!! Cyntonia is finally free!!!!
God bless Cyntoia I hope she gets everything she needs to heal from this and Jeannie for speaking on such important topics
About time!!!! Happy for her.
My only worry is what happends when she gets out, will everyone would is so passionate about her help her or forget? She’s been locked in for 15years she has no idea how much things have changed
That 10 years probation is nuts. ANY contact with the police could lead her right back 😬
Thank you jesus 🙏🏾❤️
Hooray Cyntoyia!!!!! Hope you make something amazing of yourself I've been following your story for so long.
God 🙏 Bless you 🙏 Cynthia Brown 🙏🙏
She did 15 years. She has to wait until August to be released & then on top of that be on probation for another 10 years. We MUST redefine what freedom looks like in this country because this some straight BS ‼️
I pray the rest of her life makes up for time lost.
I am very happy for her. She was a baby. I hope she received the help she needs ❤
Yesss praise the Lord!!!
i grew up in a culture where women do not speak we are covered from head to toe I was raped and sold into Human Trafficking from ages 6-16 raped by 16 people in my family my grandmother told me I was never going to be anything and put a mattress on my back by the time i was 24 years old with 4 children. I completed high school but with my last son while pregnant I had a cracked rib a bruised rib a cracked jaw and bruised jaw I turned to the dark side I became a body entertainer (exotic dancer), then I started entertaining men of power in and around Potomac, Maryland. Although I completed a Bachelors in Business Administration and a Bachelors in Television and Radio Broadcasting.. ME??? Man tells us who we are not , GOD tells us who we are "His Child" bed to bed & man to man i figured if someone was going to pimp me out it will be me ....$1,500.00 per hour I worked from 12:p-8p (I know right)? God kept away diseases and harm. One night I thought I heard the Holy Spirit call my whole name I cried and cried I did not think I had any tear ducts left! 20 years in darkness God delivered me out of Human Trafficking, Domestic Violence, Prostitution, being a Lesbian, dating transgender men (Female to Male) sleeping with the enemy (ME)! October 2013 I surrendered my life to Christ January, 2019 I prayed to God if I am not to have a husband I am okay with working in the Ministry (Look At God) I met a Leader of a well known Mega Church in the south I did not see him as a husband just a prayer partner and doing street ministry March, 2019 when I said to God I am okay with being without a husband this Leader asked for my hand in marriage! We will be married July 02, 2019 in Chicago #LookAtGod ...God does not want us to be alone or without anything .... God promised us everything and he has and he will do it! (in tears) Praise God .. Thank you for Reading ... Be ever blessed may God send his angels to build a fence of protection around you in Jesus name AMEN! I travel from town to town and city to city telling other women they are loved by a older man 2000 years old and his name is ...what? JESUS!
There was never any indication she felt threatened by Johnny Allen he was asleep and his hands were clasped under his head and he was facing away from her when she shot him. His firearms were kept in another location of his house in another room. I believe I read he had a gun cabinet in another room, so how he could be asleep with his hands clasped and somehow be reaching for a gun is anyone's guess.
Okay this is off topic but lol @ Loni digging in her ear at 1:55 and rubbing off the wax at 2:00 lol
She shouldn't be released still maintaining a lie, Johnny Allen was shot in the back of the head while most likely asleep, the gun she used had been used in other robberies and a shooting that left a women paralyzed. Allen's firearms were kept in a gun cabinet in other location in his house he didn't have a gun in his room to reach for. The documentary omits so many facts about her actions and life it's insulting to think they would believe no one would care to do any research on it.
I understand but it wasn’t human trafficking, she went out looking for it. it’s sad that the law sent her to prison but the reason she was sent because it’s still considered manslaughter despite it being self defense
Eddie N did u even read my comment cause i don’t think u did if that’s what u got from it
Eddie N I literally just said it’s still considered man slaughter even though she said it was self defense, meaning it doesn’t matter to the courts if it was self defense or not she still killed someone. idk where u randomly added in that I think killing people is nothing
Eddie N Eddie N she claimed it was self defense, since u already know that I shouldn’t have had to further explain what my comment meant, to u. I didn’t twist my words, I elaborated since u clearly didn’t understand, since u claimed i’m okay with murder but whatever this is literally pointless so goodbye
Jeanne spoke so well. what would the show be like without her
I'm so happy that now Cyntoia Brown can return to a normal life
gini you should have your own talk show you smart as heck look into it giiirl
About damn time!
I remembet telling my baby sister about this girl and my sistet was depressed the entire day. She said her week was ruined.
I’m happy for her, but it’s just like so crazy that they protected her predator instead Cyntonia.
YES! I have been rooting for her for years!! GD blessed her with that Governor for real! First time i saw her documentary i said "Man! This girl too damn fine to rot away in a friggin cell!
All the hard work...patience.....focus paid off.... come on August. Welcome home Toia 2019.. #bloodcousins #onlyus
U delete ur reply?
The picture is actually from a parole hearing last year. But her reaction was reported in a press conference. I have followed the case for some years....knew about it before Rihanna made a tweet. She has gone through an amazing transformation. The Cyntoia of today is far different from the Cyntoia seen in the documentary.
These cases aren't uncommon. Not long before Brown....there was Sara Kruzan... another incredible story.
It wasn't self defense though. Johnny was in a sleeping position when he was shot in the back of the head with a gun that Cyntoia brought to the scene of the crime.
🙏🏼♥️♥️🙏🏼 #CyntioaBrownLong #TheRealFamily 🙏🏼. God Bless
When detectives first interviewed her on August 7, 2004 right after the murder and robbery which was video recorded so anyone could hear the questions asked and the answers given by Cyntoia Brown, she gave them her date of birth as being January 29, 1985. She had probably given that date of birth so many times that it came naturally and was memorized. Based on that false date of birth detectives arraigned her as an adult until they discovered her real date of birth as being January 29, 1988.
She admitted during that interview that she lied to Johnny Allen about her age which brings up several legitimate questions. One important question is why would she tell Johnny Allen her age unless he had asked her, and why would he care how young she was if in fact he really was a pedophile as people are repeating now after her clemency? Probably he asked her, her age because he didn't want to have sex with anyone under the age of consent , in hindsight he should have asked her for an ID although fake ID is readily available also. Of course it should be noted that the age of consent is a non sequitur to justifying premeditated murder . If Johnny Allen was forcibly attempting to rape Cyntoia Brown self defense could be claimed easily but Cyntoia Brown testified that her and Allen never had sex and that no money was ever exchanged and that Allen never assaulted her or attempted to rape her.
So you have to wonder why people keep saying Cyntoia Brown killed her rapist ? If they didn't have sex how did he rape her? There is a complete disconnect with reality in asserting that Cyntoia Brown killed her rapist. She also during that video recorded interview said that she shot Johnny Allen because people had raped her in the past and she wasn't taking any chances yet told the detectives Allen never attempted to sexually assault her in any way.
When Brown was living with a woman by the name of Shocoha Armstrong in 2004 before she met McGlothen ,according to Armstrong she was partying in adult nightclubs sometimes all night long and was having sex with older men for drugs or money. How did she get into adult nightclubs they run the risk of having their business licenses pulled for allowing minors in, did Cyntoia Brown have a fake ID to get in, * those are questions worth asking.
They never mention that there is a video recording of her telling the detectives that she told Johnny Allen she was 18 years old. If you read between the lines it's easy to see that Johnny Allen was not going to give her any money unless they had sex, he would give her food, and place to sleep , be cordial etc. but he wasn't going to give her any money without any sex. A blanket and pillow was found on the floor of another room it suggest he told her she could sleep there or with him. So when she didn't reciprocate his advances he just shrugged it off and let it go and turned over and went to sleep then she decided the only way she was going to get that "big lick" was to Rob him which she planned to do all along that's why she was carrying the .40 caliber to begin with.
The problem she faced was how was she going to simply Rob him and get away unscathed he would reach his firearms fairly quick and might locate her using his truck? She knew it was too risky to try to go into his wallet him having weapons and being an ex-marksman and veteran so she shot him in the back of the head that way she could get that "big lick" she and rotten pimp daddy was waiting for. Self defense was total hogwash.
I understand it being wrong that she was tried as an adult but she deserves to be in jail. She shot an innocent man in his sleep for no reason (She told him she was 18 and they didn't even have sex), robbed him, and took his stuff back to her pimp. Why are we making this about sex trafficking when it's really just about her murdering someone?
Innocent?? Where???
Exactly she's not innocent cause she herself admitted to willingly going with that man & killing him in his sleep.
Thanks for speaking facts.
Yes ma'am you so right that a great thing she getting out but a life was lost and that's something him and his family can never get back she kinda knew wut she was doing wasn't force to go with the guy
Thank you she was not a sex slave, she was not forced into this life style she made a choice to be what she was. She killed a defenseless man in his sleep. People are not reading the story correct. One celebrity said free her and everybody followed without reading facts first.
This is still sad. She served 15 years.
Does anyone know what jeannie does in order to help human trafficking victims? I always hear her say shes involved but I'm curious, how?
