Yes, even now during that interview she was very very uneducated. She used the word “like” almost in every sentence. Also can’t believe she is my age, she looks much older.
Or even important to begin with lol. She says in the intro that "everyone had an opinion" or something like that, when this whole documentary is probably the first time people are even hearing about her in the first place
Watching the whole docuseries with the 'Peru 2", and listing to the drop beats and all the dope tracks.... it was like watching kevin and perry go large.
Initially, while high and drink on acid when - she agreed to do it - didn’t know what she was doing. It wasn’t until she was already on her way that she realised her error. Young and naive sure. But stupid and uneducated too. She thought Lima was in Spain. And that a small about of drugs would be fine, go unpunished.
It is evident that both were used as decoys so that they were caught on purpose. It is logical to conclude that their arrest at the airport served as a distraction and a smokescreen for something much larger smuggled in at that very moment in the same airport. That being the case, the names of people and places where they were in Ibiza were not going to lead to anyone being caught. What an abrupt way to grow up and change the course of her life for the better. Very possibly all that experience saved her life
Exactly, if you understand the drug war brought on by the United States and their requirements of their feudal states in Central and South America to participate, it's obvious they were the decoys and others with a hell of a lot more were probably let through. Why people of NI are taking it personally and acting like she killed someone is beyond me. The war on drugs and the idea that a stimulant is evil is a scam that's been perpetuated on the gullible public. The only reason cocaine ruins lives is because of the organized crime that comes with it. Meanwhile people in Ireland are drinking as much as they want. It's just madness. This young girl made a mistake. People have done far worse things considered legal.
dont be silly. no serious smuggler takes drugs in a suitcase via a plane, you are not making it through unless your way through is paid off at both ends. it was just amateurs caught because they did not have a clue what they were doing
It's nice to see a comment that isn't shitting all over he.. People love to feel like they're on a moral high ground. But she seems like a nice girl and she was young and very naive and not very street smart so I feel like she's been through it.
It is what it is. I feel like she's playing the victim card, but she knew what she was doing and the consequences also, but greed got the better of her

Say what now? You have to go to international departures to get that flight so she had to know then Lima wasn't in Spain...I mean come on now...it was 2013, not 1913...you didn't google where you were picking up drugs from?
@@obigspritztkenobi487 but you still have to go through international departures at the airport whether you think Madrid is in France, or Lima is an island off the coast of Spain - even if you think this, when going through international departures in a European Union country airport to take an international flight, you are made aware...the reality is conveyed by seperate departures for EU and international flights, and seperate terminals for international flights etc.
I just started watching the second episode of this documentary, and I still can't believe that a girl from Ireland doesn't know where Lima is. What a shame! In the 21st century, not knowing AT LEAST the capitals of countries in the world, it is really a great shame.

So, she earnt 200+ pound a day for staying in a Peruvian prison- worth it? In Episode 5, she finally admits she escaped abuse from her family. What kind of abuse? After watching this entire series, there are so many unanswered questions.

There were actually 3 UK girls back in 2013.. you will see on Netflix there was only 1 intelligent girl out of the 3.....she did not get involved.... the police in Peru wanted to talk to the 3rd girl....she was smart....first of all she was hanging w them but had good sense...streetwise common sense....she called home and got on a plane immediately...sorry gotta comment cuz I just saw the entire story on netflix.... this is nothing...

It's more than just the models, it's also the fashion labels that go from rags to riches on nothing more than a passport. If only these cases were the exception rather than the rule
I think she may still be liying about the money she was promised for smuggling the drugs. She says 5 grand which is not alot for over a million pounds worth of drugs? Even her frind said it was more.!
For what it turned out to be, it wasn’t a lot of money, but she said in the documentary it was supposed to just be to Barcelona and back to Ibiza with a small package for the 5K, not to Peru for 1.5mil worth. I’m thinking she’s got to be lying about not knowing, she was sent to Majorca before Peru so surely she would have started to ask questions at that point.
I rember the two of them in ibiza that summer, they was both arrogant and looking for where the money was ! The bars closed at 3 am, which was early in comparison to other summers id spent in ibiza. People still wanted to party , so there was always afterparties. Usually at private apartments as bars would lose there licence. The two girls went to a coke fuelled afterparty with drug dealers , the kind of guys who had all the cash and the danger. The very thing that makes them wet between the legs ! There was no " good looking cocky lad " who talked her into it! They sniffed loads of coke over a period of weeks and racked up a debt with the dealers. Then they was offered a way of paying off the debt - A flight to Lima ! The rest is history. Thats the gods honest truth. The bar that they both worked at, was in San Antonio bay and it was called , Mar i pins. The bar was not a drug den , but dealing did go on at all bars and most owners turned a blind eye as they all liked a sniff or two themselves. That being said , the owner of mar i pins was a good guy and the bar was a great place and didnt need any money from drug sales.

Ironic you're writing from Portugal where drugs are decriminalized. It is a stimulant, people, no different than coffee and nicotine. Coca Cola contained it and was the original energy drink. But after alcohol abolition was lifted in the United States they needed something else to demonize and drugs took it's place and then the US demanded that the entire world follow their rules. The only reason there is violence surrounding it is because of organized crime created by the black market.

@@dickielarue1451 Well you can overdose on caffeine when it's concentrated and most cocaine deaths are because people don't know what the potency is or something else was mixed in. It would be smart to make it legal and regulate it. And we all know how dangerous alcohol is. Who are we to say how someone alters their reality? The war on drugs has never worked and never will. Meanwhile you have people making billions off their poppie farms to get people hooked on opiods with no long term plan or system to help them get off them.
If you're not comfortable doing something in the workplace say so, it'll save you lots of trouble, especially if someone is trying to get you to deal drugs.
@@dave9401 well at the time I was only 17 and I worked in a shop, I had a customer who was at least 70 years old asking if I had any tattoos on my private area. I always thought that I would never let anyone talk to me like that but when it actually happens, it's shocking and I literally froze and I broke down crying when he left but I just felt so violated. I'll never forget it😔it's not so black and white, if a boss is telling you to do something, it can be really intimidating, each case is different, it's definitely not one size fits all and of course it happens to men too
People smuggle drugs usually out of a means to an end or ends to mean kind of situation such as providing for their families and so on... Other situations are just pure greed. Her story went along the lines on young and dumb or naive but honestly she still had a good judgement of what she was getting into also it was fueled by greed. Hope her story opened the eyes of other young people.
She was dumb as a bag of dildo without an handel...she did do it because she was forced to nor for love nor money just because some guy ask her to... Honestly I don't think we need to slow down for those ppl.. lock her up for ten yhear and carry on
This must make Sandra Gregory sick to her stomach. After serving 3 years in Thailand she was imprisoned for 4 more in the UK & for a lesser crime - she had no involvement at all with drugs beforehand & was almost certainly sick with denque fever when she was manipulated into doing it. The fact that McCollum & Reid walked free when they landed in the UK after serving 3 years in Peru, must have been pretty painful for her to see.
Thailand Columbia Mexico. These countries were all socialist. The drug trade isn't what you think. Mostly a construct of the CIA and US State department.. CIA drug dealers fake drug busts. Cartels? Mostly a media assisted fabrication All played into Ronald Reagan's War on Drugs. Thailand has mineral wealth Same as Colombia chromium and vanadium. Mexico had state owned industries . Thailand got Coup de etated . US troops were sent to Colombia , not to find drugs but to change the government . Mexico sold it's industries to the Bushites All these countries lowered taxes for the US/globalist miners. Countries like Venezuela and Peru hand out really stiff sentences for drug offences because they don't want the same thing happening to their countries.
Gregory would not be sick to her stomach because 1) She choose to be transferred to a UK prison to finish the remainder of her sentence (21 years). But in the end only did three years after being pardoned by the King of Thailand. Nothing to do with returning home to imprisoned for a second time. It was her choice. 2) She actually regretted being transferred to UK because prisoners are categorised according to the length of their sentences, therefore she was housed in a super maximum security prison with little contact between inmates and the outside world. In Thailand it was very community orientated. 3)Gregory has since earned an Oxford degree (and published her memoirs), which she stated while in UK prison.
It’s so crazy to me that they made a documentary about her alone, sort of glorifying her crime and making her look like this innocent young girl. What ever happened to her accomplice, Melissa, why wasn’t she highlighted, did she spend all her sentence or was she released super early too? I smell Pretty Blonde Privilege
She's not pretty.. not even with that thick layer of make up and plastic surgery. She's a attention seeking manipulative lazy woman, playing the victim role. It disgusts me.
I’m wondering if she hadn’t gotten busted if should would have done it again for even more money…hmmm. Didn’t hear anybody ask her that question on Netflix docuseries.
Does Michaela and the whole team of BBC Three still don't know where Lima is?? It would be really nice to mention the country here and there and not just the continent. @BBCTHREE You know why.
Wow, complete glorification of a criminal, plain and simple. Painting the narrative of a strong, independent woman who “didn’t know what she was doing”? She absolutely knew exactly what she was doing. I also love the fact that the blame seems to fall on all the males she was surrounding herself with, always the men’s fault isn’t it somehow and she was “Manipulated”. I’m sorry but as a grown woman she was in control enough tonnage the decisions she made. Painting her as a victim 🤣 What about the lives that importing 1.5m worth of cocaine could have ruined? What about the families of the young people who might have ODd? What about the pain of having family and friends addicted to drugs? I bet if it was a man then the BBC would have painted him as a hardened James Bond type drug lord. Well done for celebrating this woman’s crime, paying her and giving her celebrity status. I’m sure there are lots of easily influenced adolescents out there who will see this and definitely be put off by the life of crime when they see her starring in her own movie, all dolled up and minted. Nice one BBC.
Glorification? Didn’t know what she was doing? Have you even watched the full documentary? First off if it glorifies anything it’s to be smart, grounded, mature, abstain from taking drugs, stay away from the party/drug scene and listen to your friends/family. Nothing more. Secondary, when she agrees to collect a package of a pills in Barcelona, she didn’t know what she was doing be sure she was out of it. By the time she had come to and sobered up she was already on her was, having left the island then realised the mistake. Yet, was stupid and scared enough to keep going. Thinking Lima was in Spain and that it was a small thing, and if she had backed out then her family would be harmed/threatened. He thoughts. That was never mentioned by the gang. Interestingly, both girls were set up to be caught. Because, it’s how drug cartels often operate. They hire some young, stupid, naive and desperate youngins (usually girls) to carry packages (5-15kg) to act as a diversion i.e to get caught. So while the police think their tip off is about these two girls, in fact some other folk smuggling aboard triple or quadruple that amount at the same time. Nothing about the story glorifies the drugs, the drug trade, or anything connected to it. These girls were stupid and desperate pure and simple. They got caught because they were meant to. One of them is sharing her story to make aware, warn, and inform those that might make the same mistake. In fact there were up to 30 Irish/British girls in the Peruvian jail who had done the same thing, and if even one of those girls had seen this documentary they might not be there. It’s for them. Not everything has to be about what you believe or think.
No one ode on cocaine, usually when you mix it with other substances is when overdose happen. Again coke is not good but alcohol is wayy worse in my opinions
The dumb part is that they use mules like her as a decoy....give her 12 kilos, they tell the cops.. because at the same time they may be dealing w a 750 kilo load that makes it
People were sorry this European girls were arrested this kind of people supposedly don't this kind of things. If she were black Hispanic or middle eastern definitely Netflix would not had done docuseries

Started watching with an open mind we all make mistakes but her arrogant tone and cursing made me switch off. No interest in this story and if I were the Police I'd keep a close watch on her still.
Turned it off after 15 minutes. Between the background music being so loud and being unable to understand the first two characters native tongue, made it impossible to watch. Looked like an interesting story.

Visited Peru and absolutely loved the country and it's historic places such as Chan Chan, Machu Picchu, and etc...When my visit was finished...I went to Bolivia...next...Not to Prison...😉 Life is full of choices...Make wise decisions...Traveled all over the World and seen many awesome thing's...Ibiza and places like it have been bypassed for a reason...Vanity Kills...it don't pay bills...Cheers from Portugal...😉🇵🇹👍✌️🤟🤘👏😎
Not when you want to party and meet hot people
@@javiruiz8365 The hottest women I ever met...have been at the grocery store...and they did not need to take a snort and etc...to party and have a good time...or go to Ibiza or Dubai to hook up...All it took was the produce section at the local market...😉🥒🍆🕺💃🎚🎛🎧
Ironic you're writing from Portugal where drugs are decriminalized. It is a stimulant, people, no different than coffee and nicotine. Coca Cola contained it and was the original energy drink. But after alcohol abolition was lifted in the United States they needed something else to demonize and drugs took it's place and then the US demanded that the entire world follow their rules. The only reason there is violence surrounding it is because of organized crime created by the black market.
@@BNJ24 I am originaly from Texas...Been an legal resident of Portugal since 2016...Lived and traveled to many countries around the world...Actualy being in country gives you an different perspective than wikipedia...Reality vs. Fiction...As long as folks like the one presented in this program need the substance that makes them feel cool...there will be a market for it...And you are right about coffee...as I'm writing this sipping on a roasted Costa Rican blend...Portugal has great coffee roasters amognst other things...However I don't see folks overdosing over a cup of Joe in 2022...Stay Frosty...🇵🇹😉☕️🤠
@@dickielarue1451 Well you can overdose on caffeine when it's concentrated and most cocaine deaths are because people don't know what the potency is or something else was mixed in. It would be smart to make it legal and regulate it. And we all know how dangerous alcohol is. Who are we to say how someone alters their reality? The war on drugs has never worked and never will. Meanwhile you have people making billions off their poppie farms to get people hooked on opiods with no long term plan or system to help them get off them.
She flew in Ryanair! It said it all lol
I’m here after finding out she was on a boat with Stevie white
no way she didn’t know where Lima was 😂😂😂 even if it was close by don’t you think to check
If you're not comfortable doing something in the workplace say so, it'll save you lots of trouble, especially if someone is trying to get you to deal drugs.
Easier said than done
@@sexy-armpit896 that's the case with everything. Stick up for yourself beautiful. ❤️
@@dave9401 well at the time I was only 17 and I worked in a shop, I had a customer who was at least 70 years old asking if I had any tattoos on my private area. I always thought that I would never let anyone talk to me like that but when it actually happens, it's shocking and I literally froze and I broke down crying when he left but I just felt so violated. I'll never forget it😔it's not so black and white, if a boss is telling you to do something, it can be really intimidating, each case is different, it's definitely not one size fits all and of course it happens to men too
@@dave9401 thanks for being so sweet to me, I don't get that much here on RUclips unfortunately lol
People smuggle drugs usually out of a means to an end or ends to mean kind of situation such as providing for their families and so on...
Other situations are just pure greed.
Her story went along the lines on young and dumb or naive but honestly she still had a good judgement of what she was getting into also it was fueled by greed.
Hope her story opened the eyes of other young people.
nah, you can tell she full of shit and wants to make money
She was dumb as a bag of dildo without an handel...she did do it because she was forced to nor for love nor money just because some guy ask her to...
Honestly I don't think we need to slow down for those ppl.. lock her up for ten yhear and carry on
Where can i buy your book for sale! Thanks
This must make Sandra Gregory sick to her stomach. After serving 3 years in Thailand she was imprisoned for 4 more in the UK & for a lesser crime - she had no involvement at all with drugs beforehand & was almost certainly sick with denque fever when she was manipulated into doing it. The fact that McCollum & Reid walked free when they landed in the UK after serving 3 years in Peru, must have been pretty painful for her to see.
Thailand Columbia Mexico. These countries were all socialist. The drug trade isn't what you think. Mostly a construct of the CIA and US State department.. CIA drug dealers fake drug busts. Cartels? Mostly a media assisted fabrication All played into Ronald Reagan's War on Drugs. Thailand has mineral wealth Same as Colombia chromium and vanadium. Mexico had state owned industries . Thailand got Coup de etated . US troops were sent to Colombia , not to find drugs but to change the government . Mexico sold it's industries to the Bushites All these countries lowered taxes for the US/globalist miners.
Countries like Venezuela and Peru hand out really stiff sentences for drug offences because they don't want the same thing happening to their countries.
they all should be lucky, if it was Indonesia, Singapore or some other countries, it would have been death penalty for them !
Gregory would not be sick to her stomach because
1) She choose to be transferred to a UK prison to finish the remainder of her sentence (21 years). But in the end only did three years after being pardoned by the King of Thailand. Nothing to do with returning home to imprisoned for a second time. It was her choice.
2) She actually regretted being transferred to UK because prisoners are categorised according to the length of their sentences, therefore she was housed in a super maximum security prison with little contact between inmates and the outside world. In Thailand it was very community orientated.
3)Gregory has since earned an Oxford degree (and published her memoirs), which she stated while in UK prison.
It’s so crazy to me that they made a documentary about her alone, sort of glorifying her crime and making her look like this innocent young girl. What ever happened to her accomplice, Melissa, why wasn’t she highlighted, did she spend all her sentence or was she released super early too? I smell Pretty Blonde Privilege
She actually helped the other girl get out early too.
She refuse to do show
She's not pretty.. not even with that thick layer of make up and plastic surgery. She's a attention seeking manipulative lazy woman, playing the victim role. It disgusts me.
@@lsdiesel8025 oh?
@@darleneclayton2958 as she should
I’m wondering if she hadn’t gotten busted if should would have done it again for even more money…hmmm. Didn’t hear anybody ask her that question on Netflix docuseries.
She is sorry she got caught otherwise she would had done again and again
Does Michaela and the whole team of BBC Three still don't know where Lima is?? It would be really nice to mention the country here and there and not just the continent. @BBCTHREE You know why.
They know
So sweet and innocent!
Wow, complete glorification of a criminal, plain and simple. Painting the narrative of a strong, independent woman who “didn’t know what she was doing”? She absolutely knew exactly what she was doing. I also love the fact that the blame seems to fall on all the males she was surrounding herself with, always the men’s fault isn’t it somehow and she was “Manipulated”. I’m sorry but as a grown woman she was in control enough tonnage the decisions she made. Painting her as a victim 🤣 What about the lives that importing 1.5m worth of cocaine could have ruined? What about the families of the young people who might have ODd? What about the pain of having family and friends addicted to drugs? I bet if it was a man then the BBC would have painted him as a hardened James Bond type drug lord. Well done for celebrating this woman’s crime, paying her and giving her celebrity status. I’m sure there are lots of easily influenced adolescents out there who will see this and definitely be put off by the life of crime when they see her starring in her own movie, all dolled up and minted. Nice one BBC.
Glorification? Didn’t know what she was doing? Have you even watched the full documentary?
First off if it glorifies anything it’s to be smart, grounded, mature, abstain from taking drugs, stay away from the party/drug scene and listen to your friends/family. Nothing more.
Secondary, when she agrees to collect a package of a pills in Barcelona, she didn’t know what she was doing be sure she was out of it. By the time she had come to and sobered up she was already on her was, having left the island then realised the mistake. Yet, was stupid and scared enough to keep going. Thinking Lima was in Spain and that it was a small thing, and if she had backed out then her family would be harmed/threatened. He thoughts. That was never mentioned by the gang.
Interestingly, both girls were set up to be caught. Because, it’s how drug cartels often operate. They hire some young, stupid, naive and desperate youngins (usually girls) to carry packages (5-15kg) to act as a diversion i.e to get caught. So while the police think their tip off is about these two girls, in fact some other folk smuggling aboard triple or quadruple that amount at the same time.
Nothing about the story glorifies the drugs, the drug trade, or anything connected to it. These girls were stupid and desperate pure and simple. They got caught because they were meant to. One of them is sharing her story to make aware, warn, and inform those that might make the same mistake. In fact there were up to 30 Irish/British girls in the Peruvian jail who had done the same thing, and if even one of those girls had seen this documentary they might not be there. It’s for them. Not everything has to be about what you believe or think.
Apparently crime pays
@@Deacon-ml4ic if you do drugs it’s also your fault
No one ode on cocaine, usually when you mix it with other substances is when overdose happen. Again coke is not good but alcohol is wayy worse in my opinions
@@jasontodd1557 Nobody cares.. and yes Cocaine also kills buddy
Crazy how easy it is, when you can spot who to use......
Deserved everything she got
She was fed to the wolf's so other's could get tru shame
Pretty girls don’t expect anything could happen to them. And they are right. She even made money with this.
The dumb part is that they use mules like her as a decoy....give her 12 kilos, they tell the cops.. because at the same time they may be dealing w a 750 kilo load that makes it
She didn't want so seem stupid; honey this ship sailed when you took acid.
So you've never done anything stupid or that you later regretted in your whole entire life? Get off your high horse
@@sexy-armpit896 never smuggled drugs that’s for sure!!!
Would you say Steve Jobs was stupid? He took acid & later became one of the worlds most successful people.
People were sorry this European girls were arrested this kind of people supposedly don't this kind of things. If she were black Hispanic or middle eastern definitely Netflix would not had done docuseries

I'm in Westmeath it's on BBC on Tuesday nights
Would be so easy I ended up on drugs was never still enough to smuggle maybe if I'd have be 15 poor girls
She plays dumb, but she knew exactly what she was doing, i find it hard to feel sorry for her. + never hear such wonder like Machu Picchu being mentioned in such unrespectful way.
Hasta les hicieron pelicula a las burriers
I like her honesty
She learnt that whilst locked away.,
@@lorrainewadsworth6977 yes. She learnt from her mistake.
I like how naive you’re thinking she is “honest” when clearly she has an agenda and overall a publicist or PR that is telling her (by training her) what to do and say in front of the cameras.
@@angelsv dude read her book, check out her insta. She's a real decent person.
@@chattingesque372 that’s exactly her agenda, to make you believe that and that people doesn’t call her “drug smuggler” on the steers, and make good money on the side, she is cashing out her “mistakes”…

What nights does this air on Bbc1?

She is looking like an actress i swear but i can't seem to recollect her name.

Her friend looks like Chyna from WWE
Why do we have to see these crims on the TV now this bint is on Netflix. Crime should be treated as crime and we should not have to hear about criminals making money of their stories. FFS.
Started watching with an open mind we all make mistakes but her arrogant tone and cursing made me switch off. No interest in this story and if I were the Police I'd keep a close watch on her still.
It's lekker in Ibiza 😎🖖
JUST DO NOT DO IT
Ibiza is a shady place, one couple loss 1pair of rolex while honeymoon there
Turned it off after 15 minutes. Between the background music being so loud and being unable to understand the first two characters native tongue, made it
impossible to watch. Looked like an interesting story.
She looks like a robot
Fast cash = troubles incoming.
Why did you ask the British for help when you sat your irish
We all know this became worldwide news is bc they’re both hot as hell!
Beer goggles much?🤮
If you think they are hot as hell you have VERY low standards.

I am peruvian, I remember this case and how arrogant this woman behaved. She also said all peruvians look awful ... says the person with the ridiculous bum. Anyway, she got served

I Will not be sympathetic with whom wanna and easy Life nd a luxurious life without working hard nd honestly,desperated real weak people must be helped of course but this woman was not so desperated She was aware of What She was doing She only wanted and easy life without sweating and If She were not caught by the police at this time she would have kept smuggling
She was the average drug mule, got to use it to her advantage , boring story
But glad she is out of that jail, sounded horrible!!!!!
