Totally agree, have always had more empathy than disgust for her. She never had a chance.
💗
I agree and I’m so glad to finally find people who feel the same way I always did.
I saw a documentary on her on another channel that had interviews with law enforcement… never heard them call men names but they referred to her as a b*tch and it made me so angry. Why is she unworthy of any respect but they don’t disrespect male offenders? This woman literally had no chance
This is one person I've always felt conflicted over, she was treated appallingly by everyone around her, someone should have saved her as a child. She was then executed when she was clearly mentally ill, everyone failed her. But then I had a horrific childhood too and would never harm another living being, the difference is I found love and happiness as a teenager and was nurtured by my partners family and I'm still in the relationship now.
I agree it's the only case I'm aware of that causes conflicted views.
I wish she found what I did, I feel like she needed proper unconditional love and therapy
@@lyndacooke3367 She did, she needed help from a very young age.
@@mblack422 totally agree, shes the only person thats committed a serious crime that I wished someone would have helped her, shielded her from harm and told her you're going to be OK. I seem to have so much empathy for her. But I bet there area many people who would have taken different paths in life if they had someone to care about them. Even now I still find it hard knowing through my whole childhood I was totally unloved and no one cared about me,it has effected my social skills but as I said luckily I did meet someone who provided me love and support and we've been together 21 years.
@@lyndacooke3367 I'm so happy you got a happy ending. Hopefully with improved imformation and education, children have more of a chance, to escape abuse. Sadly 5hough there will always be evil people that harm children.
This is probably the only case of a serial killer that I'm very conflicted about. All the odds were against this woman from the start. I honestly can't imagine how she made it through just her childhood.
But why don't we feel sorry for someone like Jeffery Dahmer?... Dahmer was deeply troubled as a teenager: he was struggling with his sexuality, plagued by thoughts of sex, violence & torture, going to school drinking Every day, and neither his parents nor his teachers did Anything about it, then, he was abandoned by Both his parents as they separated...
I like Aileen, but I also feel like she gets a pass for her behaviour because she's a Woman, so it's much easier for people to perceive her as a victim than a man, like Dahmer. They both did Awful things in the end, but were neglected originally, so why does Aileen get a pass, and Dahmer doesn't?...
@@NiceButBites Dahmer did get a pass, he didn't get the death penalty.
@@jturtle5318 No he wasn't...
And the reason he didn't get the death penalty is because capital punishment isn't in place in Wisconsin. So him getting the death penalty was Never an option on the table.
@@NiceButBites Yes, Dahmer had issues due to parental neglect & eventual abandonment but he was not seriously sexually abused from very young in childhood, he was not beaten, he was not literally thrown out to live rough as a young teenager. He was also not very mentally ill. He clearly wasn't like most of us but he was not tortured by his own mental illness. None of this is an excuse for her, I just believe that comparing her & Dahmer is pointless, they had very different starts in life.
@@NiceButBites Also the crimes they committed were on completely different levels. I don't know how someone for a second can look at their crimes and think they are comparable. If Aileen had been torturing, raping, killing, ect. young boys, I don't think very many or anyone would feel sorry for her either.
I have always felt that Aileen Wuornos was a victim of American society, then a victim of the American justice system. She was haunted by the anger she felt for a Grandfather that let her down in every way possible!!! She could have been helped I feel.
You said it perfectly.....a victim of American society.......rest in peace baby Aileen ,from Australia 🇦🇺🐨
Yes I feel sorry for the child Aileen was
I know this story very well. Poor Eileen, she had the most horrific life possible...she needed help her whole life, but only ever found abuse. I really hope she’s found peace now in heaven. RIP Eileen xxxxx
Aileen is one of the very very few serial killers I feel so sorry for. I can’t begin to understand how I would have been if i went through what she went through. 💔😢
I cry all the way through this
I have always had a broken heart for her
If only we could have saved her as a young girl and shown her love
Thanks for respecting her in this story Emma 💔😓
I feel sorry for her also, I think she could of been a completely different woman if she had been raised around love, I don’t think she was born a killer, such a shame 😔
Not born to kill more like a lamb to the slaughter, poor, poor thing.
I agree !
This lady deserved so much better. Will be really interested in what Emma has to say. I’m not condoning anything Aileen did but I can’t help feeling sad for her in a way I don’t for other Serial killers.
That was so interesting tonight, can’t help but feel for her. Xx
Mo
I feel for her as her start in life was awful I understand why she killed the first victim as he'd brutalized her ,,but to carry on killing that's were she was in her right mind
But there again I think her girlfriend knew exactly what she was upto x
Yeah it's a lady .so sad not her fault obvs men again
Most people I've come across agree that Eileen was absolutely a product of her environment; perhaps one of the few that really can be described as such.
I've always felt that everything she did, was in direct response to everything she'd suffered throughout her life, and if she'd not suffered those things, she, in all likelihood, would not have become a killer.
I believe Eileen is a classic example of nurture gone wrong.
This one hurts my heart...she was robbed of even having a fair shot at life...she was sooo broken. I dont feel being put to death was the right answer for Aileen
The only serial killer you could have some pity for. Hopefully she's resting in peace.
s
You’re the reason I study criminology & criminal justice. I want to do my masters in forensic psychology 🙂 love your videos, you provide such more information into these cases than other documentaries on x
That’s lovely to hear Stacey. One hopes you go onto big things. Thankyou for tuning in. It means a lot To me. Sending love . Em x
We have a grandaughter who we adore.... if someone even looked at her wrong we would kill them... the thought that a grandparent allowed someone to abuse her just astouds me... she never stood a chance 😔
She was failed at every turn. She slipped through the net 😒
I genuinely feel that first murder something snapped and there was no going back
I know this is hard to believe but I met her three times in the 80's in FL..I don't have any opinion to share about her sentence or crimes. First time in Clamdigger's Pub in Clearwater, just a short conversation with a drunken girl who said her name was Eileen.. Actually she wasn't bad looking then but OBVIOUSLY bat shit crazy.. She was hitting hard on a female acquaintance who was not interested. She had a hard time taking no for an answer.. Then a few months later at the 8-Ball Pub in Hudson FL.. She was with a guy and we just did the "hey, don't I know you from somewhere?" We then both remembered the place and just laughed kind of a "hey, how ya doing?" thing.. The final time was maybe a year and a half or two years later in Daytona at a bar(of course). This was a bit more strange. I was with my best friend who was at Clamdigger's at the first meeting.. She actually convinced us both that she had a twin sister named Eileen and her name was Aileen. Eileen was gay but she was not and it must have been her we met.. I mean it didn't matter, we hardly knew her and didn't care but she was trying to pick up this guy so I'm guessing that's why she made up the twin thing.. She was looking pretty rough at that time.. But yeah, when they first started showing her on the news we recognized her and kept waiting for them to bring up the twin thing but nope, just bat shit crazy girl telling stories.. No point here, just odd..
You don’t need a point. Such an interesting story. Em x
Nick Broomfields documentary was really interesting. I always wondered why I had empathy ( if that's the right word ) , for Aileen Wournos.... I think you explained her situation perfectly, and now I can understand why I felt this way 😀😀
I'm sure without her horrific childhood she would have been a different women.
Thankyou for your precious respectful telling of her story......well done and it’s about time she had someone on her side.
I've heard this story MANY times & while I don't EVER condone murde, I DO feel so bad for the life she was forced to live. For what made her the person she ended up becoming.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing your interpretation of this lady & her crimes. I’ve seen several documentaries about her & have very mixed feelings about her. Thanks so much for covering these cases.
You can’t help but feel very sad for her (and of course her victims and their families) it’s a tragedy all around. X
My heart goes out to Aileen's story. It's awful, she was put to death. Thanks Emma 💚
Thank you so much for covering Aileen, I suggested this one when you asked as this is the one case I’ve always struggled with and I’m so glad to see you feel the same. I have always felt deep empathy for Aileen, I have watched all the films and documentaries and read a couple of the books too and she went through hell. I definitely believe that she was pushed over the edge and would not have killed had things been different at so many various points in her life. I also agree that she was not mentally well by any stretch of the imagination when she was put to death and it never should have been allowed, although I hope that it at least finally brought her peace. When it comes to Ty I think she got away with so much and it’s never sat right with me. Aileen having to watch the woman she adored speak against her in court having thrown her under the bus and knowing she was not going to suffer for her involvement must have been devastating, the whole case was dealt with in a ludicrous manner!
You did this story so well, it taught me that such hatred for evil deeds doesn't necessarily have to flow to the actual person as well. The world is so full of broken people.
I feel exactly the same as you do about Aileen.
“ A child that is not embraced by the village, will burn it down to feel it’s warmth”
There is no question that she had a horrible life and was absolutely insane when she was put to death. There is an amazing documentary on her that is amazing by nick bloomfield
Yes he's a great journalist and that's a brilliant film.
But is it amazing?
I do not condone any of her crimes but yes I also have a level of empathy for her
They got exactly what they deserved. she is a legend.
Thank you so much for this, I love true crime but avoid stories about Aileen because I find the coverage of her bpd offensive, it doesn’t take away what she did being bad but the way media presents her as the poster child of borderline personality disorder makes the stigma so much harder for those of us who have survived this terrible disease
This case has always eaten away at me...I can't imagine what awful things she went through that led to what transpired. Please understand, what she did was by no means the right thing to do, just horrific. What I have a hard time with is thinking about what led her to a place in her mind where it made sense to her to do what she did, if she even thinking clearly . Emma, brilliant as always, and such a sad case.
Yes, it has always given me conflict too xx
Bravo 👏 After watching this, and then the documentary you recommend at the end I can't help feeling that you can see that Aileen was a product of horrific sustained trauma. A sliding door moment and she could have been a very different person, you can see it.
So sad for her victims and their families 💔 there's absolutely no excuse for what she did but wow, this is the first time I've ever pitied the perpetrator like this.
🤸♀️ me when I get a notification from this channel
🤦♀️ me when I realise I have to wait another day
This is going to be awesome. Dying to see Emma's take on this
The crimes that Wuornos committed are almost unspeakable. They really were that bad but at the same time, when you listen to the facts of Wuornos' life, you have a sense of sympathy for her as she also seems to have initially been the victum of this worlds cruelty.
She did nothing wrong.
I am not influenced by your words. I already felt everything you said about this case. Well done!
Same it never felt right to me as a women of abuse. How far can 1 person b pushed b 4 they go over the edge mentally. Anyone that can turn around and say she wasnt mentally insane .just look into her eyes in some of these documentaries iv watched. U can see it . We are meant to be a caring world. People used that women from birth to death. Its fucking disgusting
Don’t get me wrong, those men were murdered by her and what she did was wrong but I feel so so sorry for her.
She was ruined from the start. The poor girls upbringing was disgusting and somebody should have intervened. Giving her son up at 15 would have really damaged her mentally. I’m sorry but I feel more empathy towards her and I think all what happened to her growing up, paved her way in life.
RIP Aileen
I feel exactly the same
I think of her ashes underneath the tree at her friends place and how she doesn't even have a headstone because what would be written there? " Loving mother of ?, beloved wife of ?, much loved daughter of so and so and sadly missed by all who knew her". It was NEVER going to be any different her end from her beginning, she came into the world unwanted and left it the same! She was SO used and abused that I have difficulty in seeing Aileen as a monster and a serial killer, I see her as a vulnerable child who wasn't given the SLIGHTEST chance in life and I wonder how many people I would have killed if I had lived her life!
So sad. Bloomfields films were brilliant and I remember her one minute quietly smiling "Hi Nick" and then when a question hit a nerve raging instantly. Hard to watch. Reminded me of the Ruth Ellis and the Derek Bentley cases where neither were fit to be tried.
I have always felt a sympathy for her- I do believe she was created and not necessarily born evil. While I cannot condone her actions that lead to her death, I do feel very sad for the life she was forced to live.
Spot on.
This case breaks my heart, I feel soo sad for Eileen xx
I'm a pretty sensitive person and her story hurt my heart. 😭💔
A balanced and insightful appraisal of Aileen Wuornos. I am a psychologist who has worked with some very damaged women. One woman endured a very similar life to Aileen and was damaged beyond help I am sad to say. This woman never killed but she expressed her damage via hugely destructive relations with all the men in her life - and held a distinct contempt for women. I failed to help this woman to the extent that I wished I could. Aileen deserves our compassion - we failed her as a society. Never kill offenders in my view - sane or insane. Judgement is mine saith the Lord. We must try to help in any way we can - whilst keeping dangerous[damaged ]offenders in custody.
Your videos give such a comprehensive, balanced but thought provoking view on these stories. Do you not think though that the damage that was done at such a young age made her sad ending inevitable? To be able to ‘unpick her trauma would require so much intervention and she is just one of so many as you said.
She became such a tortured soul that hopefully she and her ‘victims’ are at peace.
Oh Emma, you had me in tears with this one. I’ve seen the film Monster and have watched documentaries about her which were hard to watch but you nailed this.
Let’s just hope she’s in peace now x
This channel was recommended to me. @Emma I have to say your sincere delivery in your own way on your channel is so much better than on the TC shows. Subbed.
Why Thankyou Spooky mink. That’s a lovely comment to receive. I have lots to come. Em xx
Really loved this Emma and really enjoying the series. Thank you so much for doing this. Sending you and everyone loads of love, positive vibes and big hugs and wishing you all a lovely and peaceful evening xx
Brilliant video! I've always felt so conflicted by Aileen's case as well. I can't help but feel sympathy despite the despicable things she did. I can see why she cracked. Thank you for reassuring me I'm not just too much of an empath for having always felt that way! 😘
This is brilliant! Literally puts her under a different perspective as not just as a killer end of. Really really enjoy your channel you have a really clear perspective on all the subjects you cover. Look forward to Sunday this week 👍😊
Honestly my favorite video I’ve seen that covers her the way I feel is appropriate. Seeing through the salacious headlines, and “facts” about her that are hardly true and telling the real story. Honestly thank you so much 🙏🏽
Another great episode Emma! Could watch these all day 🙈 x
Another brilliant and fascinating episode. Thank you, Emma!
An abused person, with no help will eventually snap. Heartbreaking!
I have been really loving your videos! What a treat! Thank you 😊
I have to say you’re the first documentarian on Aileen Wuornos, that literally every opinion that you have about her girlfriend the way she lived and her trauma fits exactly how I’ve been feeling since I heard of this case along time ago thank you for your coverage and for being so honest!
I'm stopping the video right after you said about being conflicted about this woman. Yet again I totally agree with you I would never thought you would have this view.
You are the best at what you do. Shocked and in awe. Your are an amazing human being wow!
Back to the video.
Just started to watch this but had to comment before i do, because everything you said about how you feel about the case is exactly how i felt too about it, and i remember back when it happened it really bothered me but whenever i tried to talk to anyone about her case and story i was shut down and no one seemed to have any empathy for her at all, so thankyou for validating what i felt, now i will watch your show 🙏x
Again another deep dive. Emma Kenny certainly found stuff about this case I hadn’t heard before. Eye opening and thought provoking
Great analysis Emma. It's an incredibly sad case.
I love the way you deliver these cases. I'll be in Liverpool in September watching you live, can't wait to see you
Great content as always Emma 😊
I come back to this case because I like this one! ❤️ and I know Aileen would so appreciate all the love and compassion she receives from your community xx
Yes Emma you really have put her life into perspective. I have only ever seen the movie and your analysis is very thought provoking and I certainly feel empathy towards her.
Thank you for sharing this point of view...I've always felt a massive ache in my heart over Eileen W. I know there are a lot of women out there with similar backgrounds who have simply succumbed to dereliction, and wound up dead and forgotten. In Eileen's case she became a warrior for herself. And she fought through life the only way she knew how. She died scared and alone but I'm sure she saw it like she went out swinging. Truly sad for everyone involved.
Emma, this was so refreshing to finally hear someone compassionately and empathetically telling Eileen's story. I agree with you on all points. She had definitely descended into madness through no real fault of her own. It is tragic and very, very sad.
Love your true crime videos Emma! Have watched you in interviews for TV crime programmes for years so I'm delighted I've found your channel ❤
I am binge watching your content. Its is so so interesting to listen to you and see all the cases in such a different view! I listened to all of that in tons of other crime channels but yours is on another level! Thank you! Xx
Oh wow. I can’t tell you how lovely your comment is. I have lots more to come . Em xxx
I'm behind the times I just saw this episode from you. I always felt the same way about her very conflicted. The reason I jumped over here is I was really anxious to see what you have to say. Thanks for presenting this.
Out of all the serial killer documentary’s , I have also had empathy towards Eileen , she was definitely mentally not well and she should of had help not been put to death . Some people don’t see that way tho ! I just hope she’s in better place .
Omg I’ve watched sooo many of your videos… this was AMAZING!!!!
Very well told!!!!
Great presentation. I feel the same way about Eileen Wournos - it's a very tragic story all round. I sincerely hope that lessons were learnt across the board in psychology, courts and punishments.
I’ve seen so much about Eileen Wuornos but Emma Kenny puts the human factor into the case. Emma Kenny is by far my favourite true crime program on UA-cam to date. Having watched you on so many tv programs over the years I’m so happy that you finally have your own channel. Kennys Crime Cult member and proud. Thank you so much, long may the True Crime Queen reign supreme. 😃😃😃
I have watch various docies with regard to Aileen even the movie Monster...I cried for her...it is sad that she was a target and that she never had any help or support...everybody rejected her...the society, the police even the jystice system...Thank you for taking the time to delve into her life and bringing it to us on such a personal level... Love you youtupe videos and was fortunate enough to watch everyone so far...Keep it up. Regards
Thank you Emma! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these crimes 😀😀👏👏👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Totally felt for Eileen she never had a chance to have normal life. Brilliant series Emma x
Another amazing episode, thank u Emma, 👏
Brilliant video Em! Really sad though! We need to help these types of people and try and stop abuse of any kind for kids! When is your show in the North West? I looked online 🥰🥰xx
Yes thats whats gotta b stopped the filthy dirty pedophils that turn people into so called what. MONSTERS no there the fucking MONSTERS not the victim because she was a victim her whole life.
Thanks Emma. Really enjoyed this. I love watching your true crime videos! ❤
Thanks Uni. Lots to come . Em x
I love listening to your take on all these crimes. People think its odd listening to True Crime stories but I just want to understand how a person could actually do something so awful. You give the details of their past and make it somehow make sense (sort of). Thanks for the content. I would love to hear your opinion on the Maddie Mcann case x
I am so pleased to know that I am not the only person who had some empathy for Eileen. I do feel for the families of those who were murdered,but I do feel Eileen wasn’t dealt the best of hands when she was born and growing up. Was definitely a case of lack of nurture that made her who she became and I think the Justice system let her down by not looking at her mental health issues.I hope she is at peace at last.
Ohh good stuff. Cant wait for this one ❤❤
Aileen has always touched me to the core .here was an abused child turned into a woman damaged beyond comprehension .the song she chose for her funeral called carnival the words say it all about how she felt through life .I feel for the murdered men to an extent .but Aileen is the exception to the serial killers .may she have found peace in the next world
I feel NOTHING for the "johns"
That was good look forward to next week xx
Been watching your videos for two days can't stop watching love them thank you so so much x
I really enjoyed your point of view. How many young people are being abused and so many turn their eyes or say it’s not their concern. But the truth is it is everyone’s concern. For this very reason. Although this is an extreme outcome , it speaks to the devastation from no one protecting a child.
Eileen's story is such a sad one, nick Broomfields documentaries are fab and well worth a watch. Eileen had 1 person in her whole life and that was her friend everybody else used her and exploited her for sex and money x
I agree. Nicks docs are amazing. He is brilliant. Em x
Thank you
he did a documentary about my old workplace! it's called Fetishes
Even Tyree didn't love her unconditionally, she wanted Aileen to take care of her and support her do she didn't have to work.
We cannot get enough of these of course ! X
Wonderful analysis Emma. I know in your profession you can explain actions and consequences and you clearly keep your training ahead of current social projects and thanks so much. A common theme for me is economic deprivation, and the absurdity of the death penalty, which a dysfunctional society demands.
Keep telling the stories Emma 👍🏻
I agree with you 💯
She never stood a chance. So tragic 😞
Love your videos and analysis.
Thankyou so much for allowing people to see the human side of the abused - if you haven't experienced any adversity or suffering as a child you can be nieve to some of the evil that goes on and the detrimental affects it can have - Aileen was a human being who was abused and committed crimes and then killed for the crimes - but who was there for Aileen? She was stuck in the survival and the trauma im not condoning what she did but how was she expected to do any better when all she experienced was the worst part of humanity - the world to her was a very different place - i believe she needed life-long psychiatric help - not to be murdered.
Really enjoyed this tonight Emma I do have to agree with you.
You can not help but feel for her.
Although her crimes where orfull of course. Brilliant series well done. X
I have met people in prison who dred the day they are released & are back on the wing within 2 months.
Life outside can be much more scary than the one on the inside.
Another excellent true crime video Emma.
So good. xxx
I remember reading about Aileen when I was younger and then watching the movie and my word her life was so out of control. What amazed me is how people where able to get away with abusing her from such a young age and blame her for their actions. I do empathise with her but definitely don't condone her actions. As we are taught they have consequences. I am definitely going to watch the recommended interviews and read her book too. Thanks for a great video ❤️👍
brilliant Emma, thank you, be watching more,🌹
You hit the nail on the head when you talked about early sexual abuse... How the act of sex in adulthood, is a very different feeling. The shame, guilt, your body is not your own ~ for life... Best show you've done, Emma....
Can you talk about the James Bulger case? And if you think the two 10 year olds boys at the time can change and if you think they have or able to change despite being child killers? This is such a controversial case especially because of the no justice element! Would love Emma's views on this!
Good show again Emma 👍
Thanks so much for this Emma there was a lot here that I didn’t know about Aileen and what a tragic childhood she had, it must of been absolutely dreadful to grow up with no one to love or comfort you and to guide you into adulthood and to have a baby at such a young age, then to be married and lose your brother those things in itself are a lot for a young kid to deal with without everything else that she went through.But I’m saying that
You are 100% spot on with this, Emma. I can't watch Monster, because it's so devastating. Definitely more empathy than disgust for this poor soul.
Some how I missed this one first time round so have just watched it now x
I couldn't agree with you more Emma.
Your beautiful and brilliant and your morals and values are so parallel with mine. Thank you for being a strong, fair voice. ❤
I completely agree with you Emma I've seen the films but the documentary you talked about made me feel exactly the same as you poor woman its tragic for everyone involved
