- Ten years after escaping from Ariel Castro's house of horrors, Michelle Knight is finding hope and peace.
Knight, who is now known as Lily Rose Lee, was one of three women rescued from the Seymour Avenue home in May of 2013. She says that day was 'when her life began.'

My wife works with Gina Dejesus. She said she is very sweet but real quiet. It’s so unbelievable that these women went threw this. How sad
she looked super shy and quiet. poor girl...
@hippychic7546; I can tell by Gina's interviews that she's real quiet & shy
Sad that it happened. Yet such a gift that it seems they've managed to make a new life for themselves
Does she still speak to Michelle?
@@BrownEyez411I’m wondering the same thing too.
I am so relieved she has found peace and happiness in her life.
yes indeed
It was her that I felt bad for the most. I pray she recovers. Only if I can give her the biggest hug.
The only thing she needs to recover from is her lies. They were all treated the same. Michelle lied about so many things and you believe them all. According to the official report they each got one meal a day and 1-2 showers per week. Michelle lied about having five unsafe abortions even a nurse debunked her claim, you cant have five unsafe abortions without being severely disabled. And she claimed she held her three month aborted fetus as if it were a fully formed fetus when at three months a fetus is the size of a peanut. And both girls claimed they never saw her pregnant even Gina who was right next to her the whole ten years and who Michelle claimed knew she was pregnant. And Michelle’s weight when she was found was in the healthy range(unlike the other women who were under eight) her weight now is severely obese which is more unhealthy. Don’t feel sorry for a liar when there are two young women who actually lost their innocence at an early age.
@@carnival3429actually michelle weighed the least out of all 3. ur commitment to putting down a victim of abuse is astonishing.
@@avrilsweetnamshut up! She never put the other two girls down. This story is about Michelle. Gina and Amanda had their families to come home to, Michelle did not. This poor girl/woman can't even have her own story without someone trumping it with Gina and Amanda
@@Beccabombcorn you obviously missed carnivals comment? he was putting down michelle. his comment has been reported or deleted.
@@Beccabombcorn try to read the room before making an absurd statement. And no this story is about Lily Rose Lee not Michelle Knight
The abandoned and mistreated animals are voiceless and powerless. Lily was made this for 10 years. Now she has a voice and power she is rescuing animals that dont have this. Its not surprising she has gone on to do something like this. Amazing strong woman!!!
So great that she's rescuing animals and finding them homes. What a powerful story..lily rose Lee is shining
I would like to donate to her cause
That poor woman! She thought no one loved her or cared.. I cried so hard when she spoke ❤️❤️
I just hope she’ll be able to see her biological son and explain everything to him.
I’m glad she’s found peace and love, happily married. After that horrible decade aftermath. I’m happy she’s doing very well today living a peaceful beautiful life.
I love you Michelle.
The people around you let you down.
You are so strong, so beautiful.
I’m proud of you ❤
I feel sorry for her the most, out of the other two. She lost her chance to get her son back, because of Ariel. If it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t have never lost her son forever.
It sad that she never got to united with her son or at least see him to see. Castro really ruin everything, but at least she Amanda and Gina are finally free from that monster.
10 years ago a man named Charles Ramsey, who save and rescue Amanda and the other two. That day, if it wasn’t for him. Amanda, Michelle and Gina. Would still be stuck there, if he wasn’t there to save them.
One day her son will find her.🙏🏽💖
Me too. She was also treated the worst by Ariel. And the other two became close and consoled each other, but not to Michelle. Poor poor girl
i agree. she lost her baby. amanda lost her mom. knowing that she was working so hard to be a good mom, just killed me. i wish her son had reached out to her. while he doesnt do this it has to feel like she is still being blamed and punished for being kidnapped. i am glad ariel is dead. i dont wnat my taxes to pay for his food, or his anything! only courageous thing he has ever done probably. he also hurt michelle so much she cant get pregnant again...jesus! it seems that she no longer has her boyfriend as he wasnt mentioned here. :) still she seems happy. i hope she is.
Actually no even if Ariel didn’t take she wouldn’t have gotten him back because she was already late to her appointment she turned down a reliable ride from social services only to get one from her unreliable evil family, she really made it a point to be there on time. She could have taken public transport when she got cancelled on but she thought it would be smart to wonder around the town instead. And on top of that she decided to make herself even more late by stop by for puppies… come on fucking puppies. And even worst she left her child in the care of her mother knowing her mother is a piece of shit and an abusive person, she is the reason her child was endangered. She was a very irresponsible parent it’s for the best she never sees him again.
I am so so happy for her. This woman deserves only the best this world has to offer.
Such a remarkable woman. Her strength and resilience is honestly remarkable. What all three of these woman suffered at the hands of that thing should not even be imaginable. How can a person be capable of such evil, I'll never know or understand.
One of the BRAVEST women I ever heard of. Bless her with Happiness and comfort all the days of her life. ❤️
I bought Michelle's book in the only way I knew how I could show her my personal support and to let her know that some people really care about her! Bless your little soul Michelle 🙏 😉🙂
These three women are some of the most courageous souls on earth. I wish all of them and their families a lifetime of peace and happiness. And if you haven’t, read Lily’s book. It’s wonderful.
Wish you the best and a warm hug Lily Rose.
It’s good to see that Michelle Knight is learning to recover from her past experiences….it’s a process but I’m happy for her since she is in a better place now 👍🏼👏🏼
Her new name is Lily Rose Lee
I love this woman. Her strength, not only to live thru the 11 years of pure torture, but then go on to share her story, is absolutely incredible! Her heart must be the size of this universe. She’s amazing, and I hope she knows it!❤❤❤❤❤
Glad she is caring for animals
I remember seeing that all over the news in 2013, I was about to graduate high school, when I saw on the news that 3 women were rescued from that horrific house.
Michelle was the longest surviving victim of that horrific crime. Ariel Castro couldn’t even make it in prison after he imprisoned those 3 women for 9-11 years of torture and here that sick perverted man took the easy way out and decided to commit suicide. Those women are way stronger then that sick man.
Michelle I never saw you on the news and I am so sorry for that but let me tell you something, you are a brave, beautiful, wonderful, amazing and compassionate woman that is strong and wise. Ariel Castro said all those things that your family wasn’t looking for you. We’ll look at what he did and you are way stronger then him and your stronger then now because you made it and he didn’t, you should always remember that. You are a strong and beautiful person that has a heart.
Screw your family and what they did to you was wrong. I know how you feel about cutting your family out of your life. I haven’t seen my dads family in years and I don’t plan to.
Remember that Michelle you are a strong woman
I went to reread her first book 3 days ago and what a beautiful time to bc it marks 10years of her freedom 🙏🏼 so blessed to reread her testimony
I sincerely hope Lily has been able to at least reconcile with her son. She was kidnapped on her way to the custody hearing. Can you imagine that? Growing up thinking your mother up and abandoned you only to learn she didn't?
I knew the other 2 girls would be okay, but I always wondered about Michelle. Lily Rose is a beautiful name for a beautiful soul. I’m so happy to see she’s doing well. May God bless her and keep her.
Ive studied this case and i loved this woman as it is and I'm animal lover too
I'm so happy she's happy after all the horror she has lived through, she is truly one of the strongest women I've ever seen.
Think of her time the time seriously whenever im having a hard time i think of this lady's resilience and how shes found a new path. Shes my hero. No one in my lifetime has inspired me more. ❤
As a rescuer of animals, her heart will overflow with their unconditional love they will give her, top that with the love of humans, she will live a joyous life.
❤
This woman is extremely beautiful and strong just a gorgeous person!
I just watched Netflix again movie. And it's so sad what happened to her especially 😢. God bless her
I watched Gina Dejesus, she said she doesn’t talk to the other two because she doesn’t want to remember what they went through. Sad😢.
I'm so happy this woman found peace & happiness finally! She was robbed of a childhood, then her child stolen, then her freedom zapped while raped & abused daily beyond anyone's comprehension by a stinking animal! God Bless her!!!!
We r so proud of her I hope she can have babies soon
I hope her son and her will reunite
She’s so sweet.
Man, I just LOVE her!! ❤ She’s so strong, sweet, and positive.
She is a very brave inspiration..so happy that she is living her life happy now..
You're such a truly beautiful woman Lily both inside and out! And for you too love and help animals , it just makes my heart melt so much,May God always bless & be with you and those beautiful fur babies! Thankyou Lily! Xoxoxo
God bless that young woman
Those 3 women are heroes!!
She looks so healthy xx
Amazing young lady.
What a beautiful soul you are Lilly Rose Lee ❤
I’m so happy she is safe and happy. Her strength is really inspiring
Great job
Lilly Rose ❤️ YOU ARE AMAZING
I’m so so grateful that she has peace. I’m so thankful for that. HalleluYAH
I wish she could be reunited with her son.
She knew the type of person her mother was, she knew there was drugs coming in and out of there from what she has stated in the past she grew up really fucked-up why would you ever leave your child in the care of your mother knowing she's a piece of shit? Actually think about what the fuck you're saying here. It's Michelle's own fault her kid got taken away and it's her fault her child was put in danger she endangered her child when she left him with someone like her mother. And she didn't take a ride from Social Services to her appointment and only to depend on a family that she knew was not dependable, she really made it a point to get to the appointment on time get the fuck out of here with that nonsense. I don't believe she was going to get her son she was probably selling her snatch and Castro just thought fuck this I’m gonna take her. What a bad mom hope she she never sees him again.
@@carnival3429ur really disgusting. it’s a woman’s own fault for being abused and raped repeatedly ? that’s why castro took her? do you also take girls when you think it’s justified? ur a creep
The netflix movie about her experience was so taugh… What a history. To be that dedicated and helping others after such a horror, means being a heroine.
I have always felt such a connection to her story ever since I heard it years ago, and her courage to move foreword and her love for animals is just inspiring and beautiful to see. You are the kind of person that makes this world beautiful. You are incredible, Lilly. ♥️ 🥹
❤so glad you are doing well.
I’m happy for her hope she keeps living a long and happy life 😊
What courageous wonderful women. Good luck with your new life’s. I hope you all are happy and healthy .god bless
I love these updates..shes so brave and i think it was smart she went by lily
I'm glad that Amanda Berry is my cousin in 2013. May 6,2013in the afternoon. Glad she got married Lily Rose and her husband who been married for 9 yrs.
Michelle , i am so glad you have wiped your birth mother from your life . She doesn't deserve the love of the woman you have become from the moment you left her home . . . from living in the rubbish bin under the bridge to surviving the monster . Take care girl x
So glad to see she is doing well and has such a love for and cares for God’s Creation!🙏🏼
She is such a beautiful amazing woman ❤️
So brave.
God bless her! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
God bless Lily Rose Lee. ❤💮🌹
Ameen ❤️
I wish these stories were accurate on the amount of time Michelle spent there. She was imprisoned for close to 14 years, not 11. Also, why does the news station only mention the other two girls and not Michelle? This has always bothered me. Her own mother and family never looked for her and nobody was there for her when she was rescued. Seems to me that the golden girl Amanda was the special ine, even to the media. So sad. All three were and are victims, not just Amanda and Gina. Thank God they are safe now but i hope future stories about this case will be more mindful of the fact that Michelle is just as special and important.
It was 11 years for Michelle. She was taken in 2002, Amanda in 2003, and Gina 2004.
it's unfathomable....chained in a house for ELEVEN YEARS??? like howwww
SHES A FKN INSPIRATION im happy shes living her Best LIFE
Lily is an amazing women I’d be honored to know.
Michelle was raped so much and suffered too many miscarriages from that monster.... I hope her and her son are stronger and close.
her son pisses me off. he is old enuff and yet still hasnt reached out to give her peace. has to feel to her like she is blamed for being kidnapped and losing him.
Don’t blame her son, it is his choice if he wants to meet his birth mother he probably doesn’t even know Michelle is his mom.
J dont think he knows when she got freed, but he is not a minor anymore, so maybe his adoptive parents has told him about her now
Maybe her son is still a minor ??
Her son will be around 24 years old now
Unfortunately, even as an adult now, if his adoptive parents are not supportive of a reunion (ie. And it sounded like they preferred no contact from the beginning), that may influence his decision to not reach out and remain "loyal" to the parents he knows and raised him. Sad if that's the case.
I remember my 11th birthday and my mom watching the news story that they were found. Crazy
Can't believe this was 10 years ago. When I first heard this story, I was shocked and upset with what I heard these women went through. At that time my Aunt worked as a Rape Councilor, she told me they're these sick people who Kidnap, Rape and Threaten innocent victims every day and its up to us good Samaritans to spread the word and get these criminals off our streets! A week before the Girls escaped, I volunteered at a Charity event Walking a Mile in High Heels in my town. I feel like that walk helped give the girls the strength to escape!
Joey and Lobo would be so proud 💖 If Joey only knew.
Can’t believe it’s been 10 years already I remember the night they were rescued it was during dancing with the stars and Tom was like we have breaking news going on right now so if we get cut to the news you know
😢😢😢
Aww I love that she’s rescuing animals! It was so sad how he got her a dog then killed it :(
❤❤❤
Animals can help a person rediscover their humanity after humans make you think it's gone.❤
I dont blame her, for feeling like that!
I think it just as much a betrayal that the family who adopted Michelle's son refused to let her see him after she was rescued. I gather her son is now about 17 and I hope they have been reunited.
❤
💖
Did she ever get around to seeing her mom yet?
🙏🙏🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️❤️🔥❤️🔥
What happen to her son?
She should have been introduced like "10 years later Lily Rose Lee, who you may recognize by her previous name Michelle Knight".. instead of calling her Michelle Knight because thats not who she is anymore
worried a lot about michelle, aka lily she is married? but where is he? i pray he did not marry her for the pretty much 1 million dollars she ended up being awarded. 400,000 from dr phil and another ? 500,000ish from the 1.4 mill the 3 ladies were awarded. i pray he is really in love with her? she simply cannot be hurt anymore. i pray that she is ok. i do fully get her deal with animals. i didnt guffer anything at all like she did, but early life was hard. i am the owner of a no kill sanctuary and animals are my life. i fully know that if i didnt have them i would not be here. having something love me and need me is my life...i pray she is ok. her family failed her BIG time, but she is very very loved. you are loved Lily! the whiole world loves and cares about you! pls know that!
I hate the term "forever home" as no such thing. Peoples lives can change and situations.... where the animals are often not kept. yeah some homes are forever, but you can never guarentee it.
Did she meet her son, joy???? 😢😢😢😢
I was following this story from day 1 Lily. Thank you for loving the animals, please don't eat them. Live vegan. Love all
That guy a real life monster. Jumped on you're stomach that makes me sick if I found that guy I wonder where he would of been today. 😂
Michelle lied about having five unsafe abortions even a nurse debunked her claim, you cant have five unsafe abortions without being severely disabled. And she claimed she held her three month aborted fetus as if it were a fully formed fetus when at three months a fetus is the size of a peanut. And both girls claimed they never saw her pregnant even Gina who was right next to her the whole ten years and who Michelle claimed knew she was pregnant.
well he'd still be dead today like he was in 2013
Name change reason?
She wanted to start a fresh, new life- she had a rotten one before she was kidnapped. Lily= pure of heart, Rose= her bff before being abducted, Lee= her son's middle name.
Jamal smith Michelle knight now bible scriptures about repentance Isaiah 55:6 turn to the Lord and pray to him now that he is near... 7 let the wicked leave their way of life and change their way of thinking let them turn to the Lord our god he is merciful and quick to forgive... Psalms 50:1 be merciful to me o god because of your constant love... Because of your great mercy wipe away my sins 2 wash away all my evil and make me clean from my sin.... 3 i recognize my faults I am always conscious of my sins...4 I have sinned againist you only againist you and done what you consider evil.... So you are right in judging me you are justified in condemning me...... So I hopefully you be touched by the messages of this so don't have to tells me sorry and owns no apologies needed for me when I am not god the creator but his worship that I surely will answers and have to pray too god Jesus myself that I am human being just likes you so I don't knows everyone situations or i cannot sees what peoples doing around the world so we don't have any secrets privacy with God so he sess all kinds of good bad...
Yeah right.
You're beautiful baby
I guess she divorced?
She was always jealous of the other girls
She had God.
3:45 wtf is wrong with Michelle why is she always talking about the other girls? You don’t see Amanda or Gina doing this only Michelle. How dare that evil woman speak on Amanda or her mother. She should keep the other woman’s names out of her mouth.
Evil ?? She’s far from evil ur comment absolutely disgusts me
Wtf???
@@carnival3429Are you stupid? Castro filled their heads with lies to make them distrust each other, it was part of the abuse. That’s what’s “wrong” with her.
She went through unspeakable, heinous trauma ma'am, i don't think that Amanda or Gina take this against her becuase they all went through hell on earth. Let them all heal. Your comment i hope she doesn't come across becuase it does not help her, even you.
@@katherinecanita6962 I hope that the other women don’t have to listen to all the bs that Michelle spouts out of her pie hole honestly, she has turned the public against them and made them out to be villains. I have little to no sympathy for that liar only for the other women. I will let her “heal” once she lets the other women heal and stops traumatizing them.
