OMG that was the most touching part, where she said she'd watch his show all those years. How heart rending, to think she could see him but he couldn't help her. And now she's sitting on the set! That is just crazy!
Just realizing, when I was in 2nd grade, having fun with my family, i didn't realize that at that time, they are people suffering in captivity. Nothing much but god bless
When Amanda's mother died.. she was free to go straight to where her daughter was, to know that she was alive. So she knows. When it's Amanda's time to leave the earth , her mother will be waiting for her with open arms.
All three of these girls have taught us that we can overcome anything and not to give up. It's truly amazing to see how they kept themselves mentally busy and occupied themselves with positive things and created a "safe" world just to survive on a daily basis. These three beautiful ladies are true living warriors!
I hope Amanda tells her daughter she is a special gift from God and that God sent her to bring much needed joy and hope in a really bad situation. Her presence not only gave the girls a "distraction" and some joy, but changed HIM somewhat so that he was perhaps a bit less callous and abusive than he had been before. She may have actually saved their lives! (By the grace of God!)
+Debbi DeAnna bullshit that ungrateful bithc has MICHELLE to thank her bastard brat survived. MICHELLE was threatened with DEATH becasue this bitch got to keep her kid where michelle was FORCEd and BEATEN to LOOSE 5 children.
- "Awww... Now, that's an ever lasting, and most priceless gift any, Dr. has ever been rewarded back with, and which had returned back from the heart..." :)
Proud of how strong you young ladies are, amazed at how you have taken control and are standard tall in the world, sharing your stories and helping others through your efforts to be strong, hold on and know that it will get better. God heal, bless and prosper all of you, mentally, physically and spiritually....
Hahaha! Totally love Dr. Oz's reaction to the fact that his show was being watched by Amanda during her 10 years in 'prison.' He's in shock. Love that part.
Their story has moved me in so many ways I really hope in the later future all three girls can come together and do an interview and put the traumatizing manipulation that monster instilled in their head.
Gina still looks very mistrusting of men. It's hardly surprising. Three incredibly courageous and inspirational young women, who showed a level of bravery that was way beyond their years. I hope they can continue to heal, and move forward.
cudos to these women all 3 of them that survived this horrific ordeal Nobody can really judge them nor is it fair to condemn any of them for their actions during these years or after their rescue .They alone deserve the up most praise and public support in their healing It doesn't matter about anything else They all deserve peace while they heal for the rest of their lives If anyone has a heart and if they see any of these young women out and about just give them a smile to let them know instead f snapping pictures or interrupting them from doing normal things to talk about their horrible past They will heal in their own way
People who are outraged that the third woman isn't there and isn't buddy buddy with the other two don't understand what it is to be victimized on a daily basis over a long period of time. They aren't close because what they share is the memories of brutality. To se and visit each other is like revisiting a part of life that is unbearable. It complicated.
+LELAND LEE no, the one in this video with the pink sweater "Amanda Berry" was the one who escaped. The two girls in this video were able to be with each other sometimes, and Amanda had a child. Michelle knight (the girl not in this video) was not able to be around these two girls, thus not close or bonded with them.
Very complicated. Castro kept Michelle separated from Amanda and Gina most of the time until the last few years. He drove a wedge between them by putting 2 against 1 a lot. They'll continue to be traumatized for years. Healing is a process. You can tell Amanda is very emotionally fragile and Gina is basically numb.
As for why they don't talk much to each other I can understand that. What do we do when we meet with friends especially during reunions? You discuss good times, not the bad. What memories do these women have to talk about? Nightmares, that's it. Nothing really happy. They only knew each other through that hell and never knew each other before all that, no positive memories before that. If I was asked to see them a year later if I spent 10 years of hell with them, I'd have mixed emotions on that. On one hand they share an unbreakable bond, but it's a rather unpleasant bond. I imagine seeing each other may be awkward.
it is sad that all 3 are not close. i am glad the are all happy and doing good. i know it has to be hard for Amanda at times with that little girl but she is what kept them all good and help them free. keep your head high. and keep smileing
***** Yeah Amanda berry teated much better, Michelle was treated like a dog, very sad. However, they should overcome the bs and come together as they were all prisoner victims regardless. Reminds me of a field slave being brought into the house to be a house slave and the field slaves get jealous and hate each other but at the end of the day they are all slaves.
+CycleCruza you can't really say how anyone should out shouldn't handle this. If she prefers not to be involved she had every right to decide that without being judges. Castro beat and forced an abortion on her just before he forced her to deliver Amandas baby saying if that child died he would kill her
I read both the books and you could tell there was tension. the way I understood, there was one time they were all stuck in the basement and they talked and made jokes and I think they talked about trying to escape. well Castro yelled and beat Ashley because "Michelle told me your plan!" which was a lie , he made up lies to get them to either confess or whatever. he basically turned them against each other is what I got from it. it's really sad.
+Spider21x ok bare with me on this story because it's been a good minute since I did read them. but when they were all in the basement and told not to talk they did. and they told each other they would work with each other. when Castro confronted Ashley (only her) she felt betrayed by Michelle. because Castro told her "Michelle told me about your plan and it was your idea". I think that's why Ashley didn't like her much but michelle did envy her. she put up with the worst and i think had 8 ir 9 miscarriages. there was also a time where he even got her a newer (but used) bed and gave it to Ashley because she needed it..oh and he took her tv away to give to Ashley and ended up giving michelle a really shitty one
Seems like it has been unbearable for them to be together isnt it? It would have looked much better if they had interviewed together and conveyed together what they went through. Their personal incompatibility must be overbearing for it to overpower a proper interview for the sake of the truth and for the people at large.
Don't know if I would go the extreme but I know Amanda wants to wait awhile til she is old enough to understand all of it. She always said she wants to be the one to tell her which they should of concealed her name like Jaycee Duggard did with her two kids. Cause this was such a famous case I am afraid someone at her school will say something to her.
+NopeItsVann Which interview? Jocelyn Berry is only 9, and I don't think Amanda would think she's ready to be told yet. Plus, we haven't even seen Jocelyn since the day they were freed.
Such a shame they fell out with with Michelle, hope they can be united again. Gina soul & spirit seems so noticeably traumatized and silenced by it all, bless her. All three ladies deserve the best.
For all those who are asking why Michelle Knight never appears with Amanda and Gina in interviews: I read an interview where Michelle said it is she who chooses not to be in touch with Amanda and Gina. It is just her way of moving on.
+Ebony Sanders I think it's because she was kidnapped for a year first before they came. I didn't know that until a couple days ago. I thought they all got taken at the same time.
+Ebony Sanders Damn they said she got pregnant but there was never a baby so I was confused I didn't she had miscarriages poor girl. And Amanda berry mom died while in captivity so sad. Such an evil man he can have fun burning in the pits of hell.
+Ebony Sanders I didn't know all that either. I knew he took a flyer from Gina's mom but not all that whatever he can rot for eternity cause he satans child
It is sad how Gina was kidnapped at 14. she never learned to hone her skill in making conversation. She answers with a yes, nods her head, or with small words. Her mentality is still premature. I want to hear so much from them but am always short of answer.
I thought the same thing, you can tell Gina still has the mentality level of a 14 year old because she never really got to grow up in a normal environment. I am also surprised that Gina never got pregnant during captivity
God bless them all. I just wish to God that it could turn out this well not only for every kidnap/torture victim, but also for any victim of abuse. But at least there are some miracles and some people do survive this kind of thing and come out on top. If only it could be like that for all the victims out there.
Everyone who's commenting where's Michelle and they don't give her any credit. You guys don't know Michelle you guys don't know Amanda and Gina , I do there's a lot of untold things in that house .. And unless you've heard it you would never understand why they don't do things with Michelle .
I have thought about this as well. And they must have gotten opportunities to team up and fight him. He had a gun though. They could have planned this out by making sure his gun was not with him, and they had some kind of weapon to hit his head with. Even kick him in the groin. Do anything you can think of to do to get out of the situation as many times as it takes to finally get out and be free.
I wished they never got out. I wish I was that man. to be able to experience sexual pleasure nonstop whenever I wanted on a daily basis nonstop for 10 years straight. If I was him I would of made the basement secure and soundproof with a finger print scanner or passcode lock so no-one would ever get out but me! God created woman for our sexual pleasure. Men have needs and those needs need to be taken care of anyway possible. god designed us this was it is natural and basic instinct.
where the hell is michelle knight i'm so outraged. only amanda berry and gina are put in the limelight while michelle knight suffers alone; has no family there for her has not education, was under castro's torture so much longer and far worser than the rest. horrible really.
Apparently her and Amanda were never close. Ariel really tried to keep those two hating each other. To where Castro allowed Amanda to keep her baby but not Michelle. Also too Michelle did tell all interviews almost from the very beginning. Which I get she is on her own and doesn't have family to help her she needed money. But, with doing this she pretty much sold her story and theirs too before Amanda and Gina were ready and I think without making sure it was ok with them. So that's why there is tension between the three. Gina was very hurt by Michelle telling details about Gina's story so that's why they are not talking to her anymore. While in captivity Gina and Amanda didn't get along at all. Too they only really see each other for interviews but besides that they do not have much contact with each other
Kaykay, thanks a lot for this. Now it makes sense why they cannot stand each other not even in the same interview. It was unethical for Michelle to sell her story without giving a share to Amanda and Gina. They didnt need a share but it was unprofessional and selfish of Michelle to do that regardless.
Yes yes yes Well, Kaykay is telling the truth. Otherwise, why would they sideline Michelle. Stop belittling Kaykay's comments. Yes, I have seen Gina feel the most uncomfortable in sharing her story. Now if Michelle spills the beans, then Gina for sure is not going to like it. There should be truth in all this. Michelle is said to have low IQ by her mother so it is understandable that she didnt care about Gina's feelings and told her story to the whole world along with hers. Michelle was OK with telling her story but she ASSUMED Gina would not mind. Well, she paid the price.
Not everyone wants to be in the limelight. And being forced into a terrible situation doesn't always make you feel close - sometimes you just want to move on. Or sometimes it's just upsetting to be around someone who is connected to terrible memories. They all say they wish each other well, and they all seem to be healing in their own ways.
They look really good. It is unfortunate that all three of them don't all get along. But, what I have heard is that they were upset that Michelle sold their story so soon and without them when they weren't ready to. So I can understand that but too she was on her own and had no family to help her. I can't believe what I jerk that 911 guy was to Amanda when she called I guess he got into trouble. But bottom line I am glad that they are doing well.
So the 9 11 woman operator. Was she really in trouble later? I mean she was a bit rude to Amanda..she told something like "I TOLD you they are on the way"...funny..
I keep reading that Michelle "sold" their story. Are you meaning that they are angry they didn't do it first to see how much money they could make? Someone above stated it's Michelle's story as well. And that's true. While it was necessary to perhaps share some things about the other 2 girls, I cannot remember one time that she dwelled on either one. She seemed the most close to Gina. When Michelle said that Amanda was his "favorite", it was true based upon Michelle's viewpoint. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that while one is being beaten, threatened mercilessly, etc and the other one is being given better treatment. Michelle was treated most horribly by this guy. I think the whole ostracizing Michelle is ridiculous. They don't have to speak of it at all if that is what they wished. As you can see, they didn't take that path. Each girl had similarities in their treatment and differences so each one has their own story to tell. I don't think it's bad that Michelle was given some financial support via donations. She's older, has learning difficulties, & lost her son.
What about Michelle? Why do they always leave Michelle out? She got it worst because she wasn't as pretty and has a learning disability! They separate themselves from her. I don't understand why they don't include Michelle.
It's weird that Amanda never mentioned that Michelle delivered her baby girl and brought the baby back to life... That's just really strange to me... That they just straight up estranged her like that.
That made me angry. I'm sure Ariel put them through psychological stuff between each other to make them hate each other...but Michelle delivered the baby. It was more than just holding hands. Michelle would have also been hurt/killed if the baby didn't make it.
That is what pissed me off when I read their book. In Michelle's book, she gave them both thanks/credit for keeping her alive all them years. In the other book, they act as if Michelle never existed. She is the reason Amanda's child is alive & she took a lot of beatings for Gina. They didn't even give a "Thank you" which I thought was disrespectful. Despite how they feel about her, they still should have given her credit where credit was due.
its probably not the gurls faukts that they are no longer close. its the cruel work of ariel himself that played the three of them off each other. and with michelle being there longest then two new girls who get treated better its probably her who doesnt want a relationship with the other two...
The other 2 actually were the ones who decided to not have a relationship with Michelle. I don't remember why, though. But tbh, If I was in any of their positions, I honestly wouldn't want to see any of them. It would be a bad reminder. Having a daughter is one thing, the child Is only half him. But to see the people you were tortured with, I don't think id be able to do it. But that's just me. I do think that they shouldn't have left Michelle out. Idk
Plus, different people cope with trauma in very different ways, and sometimes what different people need to heal is different enough that they can't do it together. It doesn't mean anyone's bad. It doesn't even mean that any of them hate each other or want anything bad to happen to each other. They just need very different things right now, and maybe being together doesn't help them heal.
+Hunter Brundick i do agree with you of i was held captive with other people and for all those years i wouldnt want to see the others... id want to remove myself from any reminder but still tho wonder what happened for them not to communicate with michelle ...suppose we will never know because we werent in that house. but i think i did hear something like they didnt like that michelle went so public straight away and lied alot but i could be wrong. either way hope they can all get a life back..
Gina speaks so little in any interview and she doesn't do them alone. She always has Amanda or her mom around to do most of the talking. Polar opposite of Michelle.
I'm not trying to fault her or anything. I think the reason could be that she is dependent on that support just because she has it. Michelle doesn't have family around and Amanda really only has a sister. Her mom passed away and her dad passed away early this year. There is a youtube video of her dad being interviewed out there. In the end Michelle and Amanda will probably adjust better not having people do all their talking.
I don't get why people are so upset at Gina and Amanda because Michelle isn'tt with them. I mean Michelle went on Dr. Phil without them. You can't blame the girls for how Ariel treated them. He was the monster not Amanda or Gina. people always want to pit women against each other when in reality Michelle has said it's to hard to be around them.
Exactly! It's not Amanda's or Gina's fault that they were treated better and that Michelle was the punching bag. He's to blame for all this not the girls.
The girls are to blame they went in the car got out went inside his house and walked up to his bedroom. what did they expect to happen. Men have needs those needs need to be taken care of any way possible sometimes the urges are too strong and unbearable. God designed us this way it is natural and basic instinct. Any man would of done the same thing. These girls were just simply not allowed to leave the house. Amanda said in several interviews and even her own book castro was an amazing father who loved his daughter and did his best under the circumstances. When her mother died he hugged and consoled her and she says she needed that and he gave her that! He provided her with weed when she requested and she smoked almost everyday they lived for free and whatever they asked for he did his best to try and provide they just had to do their duty on command when he needed to get his RELEASE.
+Robert Ruiz Omg I truly hope you don't mean this. you are blaming the girls for what happened to them. They were kids and he was their friends father. They thought they could trust him. I can't believe that you have the nerve to blame the victim.
It's so awful that Castro died by suicide. A lifetime in prison would have been real suffering for him, and he knew that. In fact, this is one of the reasons why some families ask for life in prison rather than the death penalty.
I agree. Too bad he died; he had a simple getaway of suicide when he should actually have gone through the same ordeal in prison what he had subjected his victims to. I feel a bit outraged that he died and that he didnt suffer much. The prison officials let him die assuming they keep them on surveillance...He should have been alive and suffered tremendously
+Lapis Lazuli fan That's inappropriate to say. At least in my eyes it is.. However, he did deserve the same suffering he put all 3 girls through. Letting him die was like giving him the satisfaction of non-suffering. Wouldn't you rather want someone to suffer..thinking about what they've done? I would. For me, it's proper punishment I don't think he deserved to die. He deserved to rot in prison.
These two didnt treat her wrong; they just didnt get along especially Amanda and Michelle. Michelle started talking right away after rescue and that included stories of Gina and Amanda and these two girls were not ready to talk to the media yet. Michelle is also a bit mentally slow as per her mother and this may be why she didnt think it was wrong to tell their stories without their permission. It is because of these reasons that they separated. I think Michelle was very unprofessional in this regards.
Jodi Hammond-clark I didnt say she is mentally slow; if I recall, her mother does say she has some sort of a mental condition that most likely prevents her from perceiving things correctly... That could also come in the way of forming natural friendships..So while we feel like Amanda and Gina have ditched Michelle, it might not be the case. She might have been fully responsible for the separation and they have put a dignified silence in this matter.
If Michelle had family that cared about her & was looking for her like Amanda & Gina's family then she might would have waited to tell her story. Since she didn't have that she felt like she had the right to be heard
My next question is this. In court they usually name off all the charges you are facing. Did they read every one of those 900 charges in court one by one?
Why doesn't Gina hardly say anything? She gives these short answers such as "Yea" or "No" and never elaborates. Amanda seems to do all the talking, kind of like her mediator or puppeteer.
Not to be mean but she is more of a slow learner… prior to getting abducted, she was in special ed at the school she attended. So that could be the reason why she doesn't say much
Please remember that this is a very traumatic expereicne. Regardless of whether or not her' iq isn't at the level it should be' does not dismiss what she had to experience.Rape, and especially being held in captivity for numerous year does so much to your psych and mental health
what sucks is these two get their happy ending get the spot light together while michelle is alone cudnt get her son and wasnt included in these specials michelle was there longer. older and helped these younger girls fight through the pain...And what she get from them a knife in the back wow i hope theyre happy..Im sorry Michelle for your son find him and love him as you wanted the day you were kidnapped
aww she was writing about vitamins, recipes, etc... she was so innocent and that monster had no right to treat her or the other girls the way he did. what a coward and a monster.
So sad how those two never include Michelle Knight. They were all in this together.She alone saved Amanda Berry's daughter at birth. How can you just totally ignore someone after something like that?
Don't think it is fair to say Amanda and Gina don't include Michelle. To make any assumptions when none of us experienced the trauma they went through is terrible.
Well she already had a learning disability when she was abducted at 14, I can only imagine how those 10 years of hell affected that as well as her as a whole...
I find it odd that they are not as close w/Michelle I don't get it. they all suffered unimaginable torment.why exclude the one that suffered the most? do they not like her?
+Pookie D. right then u see them two together and Gina was locked up with Mitchell when Amanda was by herself so why is it just seems to be snobie to me that Mitchell ain't even around there showing how much they didn't care about her and Mitchell delivered the baby amanda just thinks she better cause she had a baby by a sick desgusting freak
Well i'm not sure why they would treat her like that but I do think Amanda thinks she's better and I hate to say that about her or Gina but thats how I feel. Michelle matters just as much as these two.
how come they don't communicate with Michelle? she had it the worst out of the three! she had to go through a miscarriage! Michelle would have died if Amanda's baby didn't survive!
She had more than one miscarriage. I think it was 4. I think it's fucked up that she was taken away from her son and beaten into multiple miscarriages, but Amanda got to keep her baby. Michelle delivered her baby & risked her life doing so, because as you said, she would've died had something happened to the baby. An they just stopped talking to her like she didn't even matter.
Shyanne, Just because Amanda and Michelle did/do not get along, it does not change the fact that both she and Gina also went through the same ordeal that Michelle went through. For us audience, all the three should be treated the same way as miraculous survivors...no?
Hunter, The thing is we audience do not know the details. For all I know, they atleast do not get along well. If you read Kaykay's response to 'Salad Ass', you may get more insight. After reading, it seemed like michelle was responsible for the ultimate separation. She just cant go around telling people stories of Gina and Amanda. She should have restricted to her own stories not theirs. Thats selfish.
Shyanne I understand being worked up; initially I felt very odd too. It is normal for us to feel odd never seeing Michelle with these two women. It will be good if they can tolerate each other enough to give atleast one joint interview with all three present. I suppose that interview would be pretty impactful.
@@emiliavongutez968I agree with you.These 3 young women were kidnapped at various ages they were forced into captivity and all 3 were at various stages in life !! For them to carry on a lasting friendship may be hard because it may remind them of this ordeal and this freaking monster Castro !! We listen to the stories and are terribly saddened that someone could treat human beings like this castro couldn’t handle 1 month these innocent 3 young women lasted 9,10 and 11 years of brutal treatment and abuse !! To Amanda,Gina and Michelle may you find peace and comfort in your daily lives and know that we are glad your alive also know that though it all your spirit wasn’t broken !! I wish you 3 nothing but the best !! ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
For the people who keep asking about Michelle, I think the Media made it this way and separated them on purpose. Think about it, Amanda and Gina are really pretty, Michelle is not that attractive or have "all american looks." Her being with them is not too "attractive" for the public viewing. Also Michelle doesn't speak that proper. If you listen to Gina and Amanda talk they talk very proper where as Michelle doesn't speak that well in public. She uses broken English, sometimes she speaks like she has a Spanish accent and other times she talks ghetto. In one interview a reporter asked her "How did you past the time when you were tied up in the basement?" She said " A lot of times I was just Pasttenin out." Instead of saying "Passing Out." The Media separated them because Michelle looks doesn't look good next to two pretty women.
That doesn't even sound like the truth LOL...i'm very sad about what happened to all 3 of these girls and i'm happy that they are free and live normal lives, but one thing about me is i'm brutally honest at times, so let's be honest here..the only pretty one to me is Gina. Amanda is okay looking and so is Michelle( and i wish they would get rid of those face peircings).... But yeah I don't think looks had nothing to do with it..i think it was because Amanda and Gina were a lot younger than Michelle when they all went missing that's why those 2 got a lot more attention from people, because they were just kids at the time.
This is why castro treated her like shit. I would be pissed if I found out she was older and mentally ill and couldn't eve speak proper. That is not attractive at all but a vagina is a vagina. I wouldn't have treated her the same either you can just take a girl and let her go so he was obviously pissed he had to live with her for 11 years
+David Copperfield They don't hold anything against her, after they were released, they simply chose different paths. Which is fine, they all just want to move on and get on with their lives. That's probably why Gina a little bored, and isn't giving really long answers.
+BriAnna Bennett chose different paths? why are they two friends? but Michelle is left out to dry out.? honestly I think it's a load of bull. Michelle was there the longest, was hated the most because of the fact that nobody was looking for her and that she wasn't younger than he wanted, she went through a miscarriage .
I just imagine it like, they didn't choose to know each other, and were forced to be around each other, once i was free, if it were me, i think it would be hard to see the other girls.. at least to be close to them...
+Shyla Marie i feel bad for michelle because she had no one else and I think she looked at these girls as her family. once released I think they should had kept a relationship with her.
uhh.. i would be bad at interviewing too if i was asked personal questions about my extreme abuse? give her a break.. she has justified mental problems
+gillian ann I didn't mean it as an insult. Amanda seems more willing to express what's on her mind, where as Gina is only giving one word replies..like she's not even fully ready/comfortable to talk. If she isn't ready to be asked questions then she shouldn't be attending public interviews, if anything that is going to do more harm than good.
Gina was in special needs classes before she was abducted so it's safe to say she is a slow learner. Being abducted at such a young age of 14 did not help either she didn't get a chance to learn properly. I think they are both doing a fantastic job at speaking about such a difficult decade of their lives. True survivors.
read their book, gina said she was always the shy one in her family. she was never comfortable around alot of people. also he kidnapped her when she was in the 7th grade, her mom mentioned in the missing persons report she has the mind of a 9 year old. the only reason shes there is because the public wants to hear her side of the story.
I don't know why these two girls are together but Michelle Knight isn't good enough to be a part of them I feel for Michelle night cuz she was there the longest but these two ladies should not isolate her it's not right and I lost some respect for Amanda Berry and the other girl they seem to be very judgemental and they're too good for Michelle Knight
On the contrary, I feel we as audience are being judgemental about Amanda and Gina for they not getting along with Michelle. If someone doesnot get along with another, why dont we just leave them at that and sympathize with all three for what they went through. Poor Amanda lost her mother when her mother would have been a great support for her had she been alive. Another tragedy Amanda had to go through. But I hardly see people sympathizing with Amanda on that regards. They seem to be judging harsly on these two girls for they seem to have "teamed up" and ignore Michelle. They are also maintaining a commendable dignified silence on the matter vs speaking up about Michelle to the media.
OMG that was the most touching part, where she said she'd watch his show all those years. How heart rending, to think she could see him but he couldn't help her. And now she's sitting on the set! That is just crazy!
Yes I cried at that part
Just realizing, when I was in 2nd grade, having fun with my family, i didn't realize that at that time, they are people suffering in captivity. Nothing much but god bless
Almost impossible to watch this without tearing up. I have a lump in my throat the size of a golf ball.
My lil
When Amanda's mother died.. she was free to go straight to where her daughter was, to know that she was alive. So she knows. When it's Amanda's time to leave the earth , her mother will be waiting for her with open arms.
All three of these girls have taught us that we can overcome anything and not to give up. It's truly amazing to see how they kept themselves mentally busy and occupied themselves with positive things and created a "safe" world just to survive on a daily basis. These three beautiful ladies are true living warriors!
I hope Amanda tells her daughter she is a special gift from God and that God sent her to bring much needed joy and hope in a really bad situation. Her presence not only gave the girls a "distraction" and some joy, but changed HIM somewhat so that he was perhaps a bit less callous and abusive than he had been before. She may have actually saved their lives! (By the grace of God!)
+Debbi DeAnna bullshit that ungrateful bithc has MICHELLE to thank her bastard brat survived. MICHELLE was threatened with DEATH becasue this bitch got to keep her kid where michelle was FORCEd and BEATEN to LOOSE 5 children.
+Redcorvin wow a lot of spelling errors I think you need to calm down.
- "Awww... Now, that's an ever lasting, and most priceless gift any, Dr. has ever been rewarded back with, and which had returned back from the heart..." :)
I cried so hard for all three of you beautiful girls!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU
Proud of how strong you young ladies are, amazed at how you have taken control and are standard tall in the world, sharing your stories and helping others through your efforts to be strong, hold on and know that it will get better. God heal, bless and prosper all of you, mentally, physically and spiritually....
Beautiful and Amazing women! Thank you so much for sharing your story. It truly is helping so many women.
Hahaha! Totally love Dr. Oz's reaction to the fact that his show was being watched by Amanda during her 10 years in 'prison.' He's in shock. Love that part.
Their story has moved me in so many ways I really hope in the later future all three girls can come together and do an interview and put the traumatizing manipulation that monster instilled in their head.
Gina still looks very mistrusting of men. It's hardly surprising. Three incredibly courageous and inspirational young women, who showed a level of bravery that was way beyond their years. I hope they can continue to heal, and move forward.
cudos to these women all 3 of them that survived this horrific ordeal Nobody can really judge them nor is it fair to condemn any of them for their actions during these years or after their rescue .They alone deserve the up most praise and public support in their healing It doesn't matter about anything else They all deserve peace while they heal for the rest of their lives If anyone has a heart and if they see any of these young women out and about just give them a smile to let them know instead f snapping pictures or interrupting them from doing normal things to talk about their horrible past They will heal in their own way
I admire these girls so very much! Amanda Gina & Michelle so strong and never gave up "HOPE" ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder how the two neighbors who turned away feel nowadays.
These ladies are beautiful They have come a long way
People who are outraged that the third woman isn't there and isn't buddy buddy with the other two don't understand what it is to be victimized on a daily basis over a long period of time. They aren't close because what they share is the memories of brutality. To se and visit each other is like revisiting a part of life that is unbearable. It complicated.
VERY GOOD BECAUSE I WONDERED EXACTLY THAT...IN FACT THE ONE MISSING WAS THE ONE WHO KEPT THE OTHERS TOGETHER AND THE ONE WHO ESCAPED NO?....
+LELAND LEE no, the one in this video with the pink sweater "Amanda Berry" was the one who escaped. The two girls in this video were able to be with each other sometimes, and Amanda had a child. Michelle knight (the girl not in this video) was not able to be around these two girls, thus not close or bonded with them.
+Casey Kuhn no hun Gina and Michelle was in a separate room a chain going through the hole in the wall to amanda
Very complicated. Castro kept Michelle separated from Amanda and Gina most of the time until the last few years. He drove a wedge between them by putting 2 against 1 a lot. They'll continue to be traumatized for years. Healing is a process. You can tell Amanda is very emotionally fragile and Gina is basically numb.
No offense you read the books And see the film.U will see Gina And Michelle was tied to each other and the chain went through the wall to Amanda. .
I've read both book and Michelle has publicly said seeing those girls is to hard and bring back to many memories.
As for why they don't talk much to each other I can understand that. What do we do when we meet with friends especially during reunions? You discuss good times, not the bad. What memories do these women have to talk about? Nightmares, that's it. Nothing really happy. They only knew each other through that hell and never knew each other before all that, no positive memories before that. If I was asked to see them a year later if I spent 10 years of hell with them, I'd have mixed emotions on that. On one hand they share an unbreakable bond, but it's a rather unpleasant bond. I imagine seeing each other may be awkward.
charles ramsey is a true hero, first real hero in my time.
it is sad that all 3 are not close. i am glad the are all happy and doing good. i know it has to be hard for Amanda at times with that little girl but she is what kept them all good and help them free. keep your head high. and keep smileing
That's a shame that they are not close to Michelle Knight and she is not with them on this show.
***** Yeah Amanda berry teated much better, Michelle was treated like a dog, very sad. However, they should overcome the bs and come together as they were all prisoner victims regardless. Reminds me of a field slave being brought into the house to be a house slave and the field slaves get jealous and hate each other but at the end of the day they are all slaves.
+CycleCruza you can't really say how anyone should out shouldn't handle this. If she prefers not to be involved she had every right to decide that without being judges. Castro beat and forced an abortion on her just before he forced her to deliver Amandas baby saying if that child died he would kill her
I read both the books and you could tell there was tension. the way I understood, there was one time they were all stuck in the basement and they talked and made jokes and I think they talked about trying to escape. well Castro yelled and beat Ashley because "Michelle told me your plan!" which was a lie , he made up lies to get them to either confess or whatever. he basically turned them against each other is what I got from it. it's really sad.
+Spider21x ok bare with me on this story because it's been a good minute since I did read them. but when they were all in the basement and told not to talk they did. and they told each other they would work with each other. when Castro confronted Ashley (only her) she felt betrayed by Michelle. because Castro told her "Michelle told me about your plan and it was your idea". I think that's why Ashley didn't like her much but michelle did envy her. she put up with the worst and i think had 8 ir 9 miscarriages. there was also a time where he even got her a newer (but used) bed and gave it to Ashley because she needed it..oh and he took her tv away to give to Ashley and ended up giving michelle a really shitty one
Seems like it has been unbearable for them to be together isnt it? It would have looked much better if they had interviewed together and conveyed together what they went through. Their personal incompatibility must be overbearing for it to overpower a proper interview for the sake of the truth and for the people at large.
I hope her daughter doesn't go to drugs when she finds out her dad was satan.
ha I agree. Seems like her mam has a great head on her shoulders so she has a chance.
On the other hand the daughter freed her mother and sent her father to jail, she is like the key of justice.
Don't know if I would go the extreme but I know Amanda wants to wait awhile til she is old enough to understand all of it. She always said she wants to be the one to tell her which they should of concealed her name like Jaycee Duggard did with her two kids. Cause this was such a famous case I am afraid someone at her school will say something to her.
+NopeItsVann Which interview? Jocelyn Berry is only 9, and I don't think Amanda would think she's ready to be told yet. Plus, we haven't even seen Jocelyn since the day they were freed.
+Jamie Keegan yes she is truly an amazing woman if anyone can give that child a good life it's amanda
Gina seems really traumatized from the experience, she hardly smiles and when she is asked a question hardly answers, it's heart breaking..
Gina had a 7th grade education.
Don't think it has to do with education
+JSSTyger that is the dumbest thing you could have said
Such a shame they fell out with with Michelle, hope they can be united again. Gina soul & spirit seems so noticeably traumatized and silenced by it all, bless her. All three ladies deserve the best.
Did someone already say this: Those girls were truly a captive audience of Dr. Oz.
For all those who are asking why Michelle Knight never appears with Amanda and Gina in interviews: I read an interview where Michelle said it is she who chooses not to be in
touch with Amanda and Gina. It is just her way of moving on.
Gina's mom stayed and held out hope while Michelle's mom moved to Florida not giving a fuck. Much praise to Gina's mom!
Sssooo happy they were found
People who keep birds in cage should understand they do the same to the voiceless
For the girls sake I hope this is the last anniversary for a while because this must be frustrated reliving and retelling this story over and over
Why is Michelle Knight never included when she had it the worst?
yea right
+chris atkinsan "yeah right" as in you're agreeing with me
+Ebony Sanders I think it's because she was kidnapped for a year first before they came. I didn't know that until a couple days ago. I thought they all got taken at the same time.
+Ebony Sanders Damn they said she got pregnant but there was never a baby so I was confused I didn't she had miscarriages poor girl. And Amanda berry mom died while in captivity so sad. Such an evil man he can have fun burning in the pits of hell.
+Ebony Sanders I didn't know all that either. I knew he took a flyer from Gina's mom but not all that whatever he can rot for eternity cause he satans child
I read Michelle's book it was really say and raw had me in tears
It is sad how Gina was kidnapped at 14. she never learned to hone her skill in making conversation. She answers with a yes, nods her head, or with small words. Her mentality is still premature. I want to hear so much from them but am always short of answer.
Omg at end! How sid he nor cry?
I honestly felt really bad for Gina she obviously didn't want to be there and seemed very uncomfortable
I thought the same thing, you can tell Gina still has the mentality level of a 14 year old because she never really got to grow up in a normal environment. I am also surprised that Gina never got pregnant during captivity
God bless them all. I just wish to God that it could turn out this well not only for every kidnap/torture victim, but also for any victim of abuse. But at least there are some miracles and some people do survive this kind of thing and come out on top. If only it could be like that for all the victims out there.
She’s doing so well
I have to give Dr. Oz credit. Not a huge fan, but he's a good interviewer. I especially liked the one he did with Sue Klebold.
OMG they were kidnapped on my birthday and the creepy thing is I remember that day...creepy
They are amazing! Charles Ramsey is a hero , who was never honored by the city of Cleveland.
watched the movie last night I cried so bad GOD BLESS tgem
Theres a movie???
Those 3 girls are hero’s
Everyone who's commenting where's Michelle and they don't give her any credit. You guys don't know Michelle you guys don't know Amanda and Gina , I do there's a lot of untold things in that house .. And unless you've heard it you would never understand why they don't do things with Michelle .
I can't imagine going through this for many years. I would tried to escape every chance I got. no freaking way.
I have thought about this as well. And they must have gotten opportunities to team up and fight him. He had a gun though. They could have planned this out by making sure his gun was not with him, and they had some kind of weapon to hit his head with. Even kick him in the groin. Do anything you can think of to do to get out of the situation as many times as it takes to finally get out and be free.
I wished they never got out. I wish I was that man. to be able to experience sexual pleasure nonstop whenever I wanted on a daily basis nonstop for 10 years straight. If I was him I would of made the basement secure and soundproof with a finger print scanner or passcode lock so no-one would ever get out but me! God created woman for our sexual pleasure. Men have needs and those needs need to be taken care of anyway possible. god designed us this was it is natural and basic instinct.
You are fucking evil
amazing resilience
where the hell is michelle knight i'm so outraged. only amanda berry and gina are put in the limelight while michelle knight suffers alone; has no family there for her has not education, was under castro's torture so much longer and far worser than the rest. horrible really.
Apparently her and Amanda were never close. Ariel really tried to keep those two hating each other. To where Castro allowed Amanda to keep her baby but not Michelle. Also too Michelle did tell all interviews almost from the very beginning. Which I get she is on her own and doesn't have family to help her she needed money. But, with doing this she pretty much sold her story and theirs too before Amanda and Gina were ready and I think without making sure it was ok with them. So that's why there is tension between the three. Gina was very hurt by Michelle telling details about Gina's story so that's why they are not talking to her anymore. While in captivity Gina and Amanda didn't get along at all. Too they only really see each other for interviews but besides that they do not have much contact with each other
Kaykay, thanks a lot for this. Now it makes sense why they cannot stand each other not even in the same interview. It was unethical for Michelle to sell her story without giving a share to Amanda and Gina. They didnt need a share but it was unprofessional and selfish of Michelle to do that regardless.
Yes yes yes Well, Kaykay is telling the truth. Otherwise, why would they sideline Michelle. Stop belittling Kaykay's comments. Yes, I have seen Gina feel the most uncomfortable in sharing her story. Now if Michelle spills the beans, then Gina for sure is not going to like it. There should be truth in all this. Michelle is said to have low IQ by her mother so it is understandable that she didnt care about Gina's feelings and told her story to the whole world along with hers. Michelle was OK with telling her story but she ASSUMED Gina would not mind. Well, she paid the price.
Not everyone wants to be in the limelight. And being forced into a terrible situation doesn't always make you feel close - sometimes you just want to move on. Or sometimes it's just upsetting to be around someone who is connected to terrible memories. They all say they wish each other well, and they all seem to be healing in their own ways.
+junbh2 she went on dr Phil sonic sure she wants to be in limelight
Can’t believe how he gave birth his baby mama of his other kids she died .. very young
They look really good. It is unfortunate that all three of them don't all get along. But, what I have heard is that they were upset that Michelle sold their story so soon and without them when they weren't ready to. So I can understand that but too she was on her own and had no family to help her. I can't believe what I jerk that 911 guy was to Amanda when she called I guess he got into trouble. But bottom line I am glad that they are doing well.
So the 9 11 woman operator. Was she really in trouble later? I mean she was a bit rude to Amanda..she told something like "I TOLD you they are on the way"...funny..
I keep reading that Michelle "sold" their story. Are you meaning that they are angry they didn't do it first to see how much money they could make? Someone above stated it's Michelle's story as well. And that's true. While it was necessary to perhaps share some things about the other 2 girls, I cannot remember one time that she dwelled on either one. She seemed the most close to Gina. When Michelle said that Amanda was his "favorite", it was true based upon Michelle's viewpoint. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that while one is being beaten, threatened mercilessly, etc and the other one is being given better treatment. Michelle was treated most horribly by this guy. I think the whole ostracizing Michelle is ridiculous. They don't have to speak of it at all if that is what they wished. As you can see, they didn't take that path. Each girl had similarities in their treatment and differences so each one has their own story to tell. I don't think it's bad that Michelle was given some financial support via donations. She's older, has learning difficulties, & lost her son.
You can tell that Gina is the most traumatised. You can see it in her face.
I feel bad for Michelle especially, she got the worst end of it, I hope she's doing alright.
those women are my hero's
What about Michelle? Why do they always leave Michelle out? She got it worst because she wasn't as pretty and has a learning disability! They separate themselves from her. I don't understand why they don't include Michelle.
Everyone asking about Michelle, she just doesn't like talking about it
Michelle Brodeur No it's not that. She has done several interviews!
+Po Ping she wasnt as close as them two are. and im pretty sure in a interview she said she didnt like them two.
Cheyenne Walker Can you give me a link?
+Daisys Daughter where can i get her book???
It's weird that Amanda never mentioned that Michelle delivered her baby girl and brought the baby back to life... That's just really strange to me... That they just straight up estranged her like that.
That made me angry. I'm sure Ariel put them through psychological stuff between each other to make them hate each other...but Michelle delivered the baby. It was more than just holding hands. Michelle would have also been hurt/killed if the baby didn't make it.
That is what pissed me off when I read their book. In Michelle's book, she gave them both thanks/credit for keeping her alive all them years. In the other book, they act as if Michelle never existed. She is the reason Amanda's child is alive & she took a lot of beatings for Gina. They didn't even give a "Thank you" which I thought was disrespectful. Despite how they feel about her, they still should have given her credit where credit was due.
God bless you
its probably not the gurls faukts that they are no longer close. its the cruel work of ariel himself that played the three of them off each other. and with michelle being there longest then two new girls who get treated better its probably her who doesnt want a relationship with the other two...
The other 2 actually were the ones who decided to not have a relationship with Michelle. I don't remember why, though. But tbh, If I was in any of their positions, I honestly wouldn't want to see any of them. It would be a bad reminder. Having a daughter is one thing, the child Is only half him. But to see the people you were tortured with, I don't think id be able to do it. But that's just me. I do think that they shouldn't have left Michelle out. Idk
Plus, different people cope with trauma in very different ways, and sometimes what different people need to heal is different enough that they can't do it together. It doesn't mean anyone's bad. It doesn't even mean that any of them hate each other or want anything bad to happen to each other. They just need very different things right now, and maybe being together doesn't help them heal.
+Hunter Brundick i do agree with you of i was held captive with other people and for all those years i wouldnt want to see the others... id want to remove myself from any reminder but still tho wonder what happened for them not to communicate with michelle ...suppose we will never know because we werent in that house. but i think i did hear something like they didnt like that michelle went so public straight away and lied alot but i could be wrong. either way hope they can all get a life back..
+junbh2 i actually do get what your saying and think your right
Gina speaks so little in any interview and she doesn't do them alone. She always has Amanda or her mom around to do most of the talking. Polar opposite of Michelle.
she has a learning disability she she also has suffered severe trauma. I think I would be the same in her shoes.
Michelle also has these things.
Yes
I'm not trying to fault her or anything. I think the reason could be that she is dependent on that support just because she has it. Michelle doesn't have family around and Amanda really only has a sister. Her mom passed away and her dad passed away early this year. There is a youtube video of her dad being interviewed out there. In the end Michelle and Amanda will probably adjust better not having people do all their talking.
To take something positive from the video, take a look at 14:50. Gina's Mom's description of they were re-united again.
I don't get why people are so upset at Gina and Amanda because Michelle isn'tt with them. I mean Michelle went on Dr. Phil without them. You can't blame the girls for how Ariel treated them. He was the monster not Amanda or Gina. people always want to pit women against each other when in reality Michelle has said it's to hard to be around them.
Exactly! It's not Amanda's or Gina's fault that they were treated better and that Michelle was the punching bag. He's to blame for all this not the girls.
The girls are to blame they went in the car got out went inside his house and walked up to his bedroom. what did they expect to happen. Men have needs those needs need to be taken care of any way possible sometimes the urges are too strong and unbearable. God designed us this way it is natural and basic instinct. Any man would of done the same thing. These girls were just simply not allowed to leave the house. Amanda said in several interviews and even her own book castro was an amazing father who loved his daughter and did his best under the circumstances. When her mother died he hugged and consoled her and she says she needed that and he gave her that! He provided her with weed when she requested and she smoked almost everyday they lived for free and whatever they asked for he did his best to try and provide they just had to do their duty on command when he needed to get his RELEASE.
+Robert Ruiz Omg I truly hope you don't mean this. you are blaming the girls for what happened to them. They were kids and he was their friends father. They thought they could trust him. I can't believe that you have the nerve to blame the victim.
Her poor mom was so young still 10 years she passed ehst 3-4 years I think after
It's so awful that Castro died by suicide. A lifetime in prison would have been real suffering for him, and he knew that. In fact, this is one of the reasons why some families ask for life in prison rather than the death penalty.
I think hanging "himself" in a dark, dirty little room is exactly what he deserved.
I agree. Too bad he died; he had a simple getaway of suicide when he should actually have gone through the same ordeal in prison what he had subjected his victims to. I feel a bit outraged that he died and that he didnt suffer much. The prison officials let him die assuming they keep them on surveillance...He should have been alive and suffered tremendously
+Michael James Living is MUCH harder. Dying is easy.
He's a coward.
That monster who doesn't deserve a name is rotting in hell. Where he should be.
+Lapis Lazuli fan That's inappropriate to say. At least in my eyes it is.. However, he did deserve the same suffering he put all 3 girls through. Letting him die was like giving him the satisfaction of non-suffering.
Wouldn't you rather want someone to suffer..thinking about what they've done? I would. For me, it's proper punishment I don't think he deserved to die. He deserved to rot in prison.
feel sorry for them what about Michelle Knight these two have treated her so wrong even though she was kidnapped first
These two didnt treat her wrong; they just didnt get along especially Amanda and Michelle. Michelle started talking right away after rescue and that included stories of Gina and Amanda and these two girls were not ready to talk to the media yet. Michelle is also a bit mentally slow as per her mother and this may be why she didnt think it was wrong to tell their stories without their permission. It is because of these reasons that they separated. I think Michelle was very unprofessional in this regards.
Ad for what u said she is mentally slow child like
Jodi Hammond-clark I didnt say she is mentally slow; if I recall, her mother does say she has some sort of a mental condition that most likely prevents her from perceiving things correctly... That could also come in the way of forming natural friendships..So while we feel like Amanda and Gina have ditched Michelle, it might not be the case. She might have been fully responsible for the separation and they have put a dignified silence in this matter.
If Michelle had family that cared about her & was looking for her like Amanda & Gina's family then she might would have waited to tell her story. Since she didn't have that she felt like she had the right to be heard
where is Michelle, I love that woman.may the Lord give her way to come out and talk
Why don't they have a relationship with Michelle Knight 😮
My next question is this. In court they usually name off all the charges you are facing. Did they read every one of those 900 charges in court one by one?
It wasn't 900 different charges. They would read out something like "300 counts of X".
Oh gotcha...sorry probably a stupid question lol
Why doesn't Gina hardly say anything? She gives these short answers such as "Yea" or "No" and never elaborates. Amanda seems to do all the talking, kind of like her mediator or puppeteer.
Not to be mean but she is more of a slow learner… prior to getting abducted, she was in special ed at the school she attended. So that could be the reason why she doesn't say much
Oh I didn't know that. I thought that was only true for Michelle. Castro knew exactly what kind of girls to target.
she doesnt say much because shes only 17 mentally, remember she was only 14 when she disappeared.
shy maybe?
Please remember that this is a very traumatic expereicne. Regardless of whether or not her' iq isn't at the level it should be' does not dismiss what she had to experience.Rape, and especially being held in captivity for numerous year does so much to your psych and mental health
Guys where is the other girl
what sucks is these two get their happy ending get the spot light together while michelle is alone cudnt get her son and wasnt included in these specials michelle was there longer. older and helped these younger girls fight through the pain...And what she get from them a knife in the back wow i hope theyre happy..Im sorry Michelle for your son find him and love him as you wanted the day you were kidnapped
I gotta see the door I wanna see ya the aluminum part I’m sure there were more times they could have left but to scared
Good Book.!
This somewhat reminds me of David pelzers story
aww she was writing about vitamins, recipes, etc... she was so innocent and that monster had no right to treat her or the other girls the way he did. what a coward and a monster.
her kid is like 9 years old now.
So sad how those two never include Michelle Knight. They were all in this together.She alone saved Amanda Berry's daughter at birth. How can you just totally ignore someone after something like that?
Don't think it is fair to say Amanda and Gina don't include Michelle. To make any assumptions when none of us experienced the trauma they went through is terrible.
Why not concentrate on what they are doing now? Worried about them.
Gina doesn't say much
Well she already had a learning disability when she was abducted at 14, I can only imagine how those 10 years of hell affected that as well as her as a whole...
This guy is a terrible interviewer. There were so many empty pauses. I don't get it, was he just not prepared? Either way, it's a shame
I find it odd that they are not as close w/Michelle I don't get it. they all suffered unimaginable torment.why exclude the one that suffered the most? do they not like her?
why don't these girls talk to Mitchell anymore
I wonder the same thing. When Amanda Berry made that very important 911 call she never said anything about the other two just herself.
+Pookie D. right then u see them two together and Gina was locked up with Mitchell when Amanda was by herself so why is it just seems to be snobie to me that Mitchell ain't even around there showing how much they didn't care about her and Mitchell delivered the baby amanda just thinks she better cause she had a baby by a sick desgusting freak
+Pookie D. u think she would be around even though they got media attention mitchell was missing to no one ever says why there all not together
Well i'm not sure why they would treat her like that but I do think Amanda thinks she's better and I hate to say that about her or Gina but thats how I feel. Michelle matters just as much as these two.
+Pookie D. I completely agree
how come they don't communicate with Michelle? she had it the worst out of the three! she had to go through a miscarriage! Michelle would have died if Amanda's baby didn't survive!
She had more than one miscarriage. I think it was 4. I think it's fucked up that she was taken away from her son and beaten into multiple miscarriages, but Amanda got to keep her baby. Michelle delivered her baby & risked her life doing so, because as you said, she would've died had something happened to the baby. An they just stopped talking to her like she didn't even matter.
Shyanne, Just because Amanda and Michelle did/do not get along, it does not change the fact that both she and Gina also went through the same ordeal that Michelle went through. For us audience, all the three should be treated the same way as miraculous survivors...no?
Hunter, The thing is we audience do not know the details. For all I know, they atleast do not get along well. If you read Kaykay's response to 'Salad Ass', you may get more insight. After reading, it seemed like michelle was responsible for the ultimate separation. She just cant go around telling people stories of Gina and Amanda. She should have restricted to her own stories not theirs. Thats selfish.
+tinntina you're very right. idek I was really worked up 😂
Shyanne I understand being worked up; initially I felt very odd too. It is normal for us to feel odd never seeing Michelle with these two women. It will be good if they can tolerate each other enough to give atleast one joint interview with all three present. I suppose that interview would be pretty impactful.
who was had the brilliant idea to demolish the house? was it the house's fault?. are there not a lot of homeless people out there? .
wtf?? they demolished it so people wouldn't go snooping....
They did the same to John Wayne Gacy’s house bulldozed it to the ground !!
mess up..feel bad.i thought they 3of them were. close since they all went through hell 2gether
Where is Michelle? Why are they always leaving her out?
Michelle has said numerous times she chooses not to communicate with them because it's too hard for her.
@@emiliavongutez968I agree with you.These 3 young women were kidnapped at various ages they were forced into captivity and all 3 were at various stages in life !! For them to carry on a lasting friendship may be hard because it may remind them of this ordeal and this freaking monster Castro !! We listen to the stories and are terribly saddened that someone could treat human beings like this castro couldn’t handle 1 month these innocent 3 young women lasted 9,10 and 11 years of brutal treatment and abuse !! To Amanda,Gina and Michelle may you find peace and comfort in your daily lives and know that we are glad your alive also know that though it all your spirit wasn’t broken !! I wish you 3 nothing but the best !! ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
Michelle got the worst abuse. He really messed her up. I don't blame her for not being out in the open.
I saw at least 5 different interviews with michelle
There is more to the story of why Michelle Knight is never with them when they do interviews.
For the people who keep asking about Michelle, I think the Media made it this way and separated them on purpose. Think about it, Amanda and Gina are really pretty, Michelle is not that attractive or have "all american looks." Her being with them is not too "attractive" for the public viewing. Also Michelle doesn't speak that proper. If you listen to Gina and Amanda talk they talk very proper where as Michelle doesn't speak that well in public. She uses broken English, sometimes she speaks like she has a Spanish accent and other times she talks ghetto. In one interview a reporter asked her "How did you past the time when you were tied up in the basement?" She said " A lot of times I was just Pasttenin out." Instead of saying "Passing Out." The Media separated them because Michelle looks doesn't look good next to two pretty women.
Thats so stupid for you to think n believe that
EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT...AND ITS SO STUPID FOR YOU ROLLA NOT TO....
Rola Nesheiwat To each its own. But its the truth.
That doesn't even sound like the truth LOL...i'm very sad about what happened to all 3 of these girls and i'm happy that they are free and live normal lives, but one thing about me is i'm brutally honest at times, so let's be honest here..the only pretty one to me is Gina. Amanda is okay looking and so is Michelle( and i wish they would get rid of those face peircings).... But yeah I don't think looks had nothing to do with it..i think it was because Amanda and Gina were a lot younger than Michelle when they all went missing that's why those 2 got a lot more attention from people, because they were just kids at the time.
This is why castro treated her like shit. I would be pissed if I found out she was older and mentally ill and couldn't eve speak proper. That is not attractive at all but a vagina is a vagina. I wouldn't have treated her the same either you can just take a girl and let her go so he was obviously pissed he had to live with her for 11 years
Where's Michelle? Don't they get along?
Wtf what about Michelle???
Charles Ramsey gets zero credit for rescuing these girls. guess he's got the wrong complexion to be hero SMH.
amanda berry looks like she can be related to channing tatum they look alike
Why don't these two girls like Michelle Knight? They seem to hold a grudge against her. Anyone know?
+David Copperfield They don't hold anything against her, after they were released, they simply chose different paths. Which is fine, they all just want to move on and get on with their lives. That's probably why Gina a little bored, and isn't giving really long answers.
+BriAnna Bennett chose different paths? why are they two friends? but Michelle is left out to dry out.? honestly I think it's a load of bull. Michelle was there the longest, was hated the most because of the fact that nobody was looking for her and that she wasn't younger than he wanted, she went through a miscarriage .
Have you their goddamn books? It says in both "Finding Me." and "Hope." It says that they ALL TOOK SEPARATE PATHS.
I just imagine it like, they didn't choose to know each other, and were forced to be around each other, once i was free, if it were me, i think it would be hard to see the other girls.. at least to be close to them...
+Shyla Marie i feel bad for michelle because she had no one else and I think she looked at these girls as her family. once released I think they should had kept a relationship with her.
with out a.b kid they would have never left because off the chains!!!!!
Is this reality?
yes. this really happened. that bastard had them chained for 10 years. i hope hes frying in hell
That baby is like 12 now she needs to know
12 is still a child. Her mother will decide when it's the right time.
She's not even 10 yet.
She is not old enough I wouldn’t even touch the topic until she asked
wtf does this have to do with medicine
I just wonder why Michelle knight is never with them?
Same question I'm asking!!
She chooses not to she just wants to move on
They noticed they could make money of this so that's why they always talking about it ..
So what, Dr. Oz is traded in his MD for a Psy.D
aye aye aye
Gina is bad at interviewing
uhh.. i would be bad at interviewing too if i was asked personal questions about my extreme abuse? give her a break.. she has justified mental problems
+gillian ann I didn't mean it as an insult. Amanda seems more willing to express what's on her mind, where as Gina is only giving one word replies..like she's not even fully ready/comfortable to talk. If she isn't ready to be asked questions then she shouldn't be attending public interviews, if anything that is going to do more harm than good.
Gina was in special needs classes before she was abducted so it's safe to say she is a slow learner. Being abducted at such a young age of 14 did not help either she didn't get a chance to learn properly. I think they are both doing a fantastic job at speaking about such a difficult decade of their lives. True survivors.
read their book, gina said she was always the shy one in her family. she was never comfortable around alot of people. also he kidnapped her when she was in the 7th grade, her mom mentioned in the missing persons report she has the mind of a 9 year old. the only reason shes there is because the public wants to hear her side of the story.
I don't know why these two girls are together but Michelle Knight isn't good enough to be a part of them I feel for Michelle night cuz she was there the longest but these two ladies should not isolate her it's not right and I lost some respect for Amanda Berry and the other girl they seem to be very judgemental and they're too good for Michelle Knight
What does it say?
On the contrary, I feel we as audience are being judgemental about Amanda and Gina for they not getting along with Michelle. If someone doesnot get along with another, why dont we just leave them at that and sympathize with all three for what they went through. Poor Amanda lost her mother when her mother would have been a great support for her had she been alive. Another tragedy Amanda had to go through. But I hardly see people sympathizing with Amanda on that regards. They seem to be judging harsly on these two girls for they seem to have "teamed up" and ignore Michelle. They are also maintaining a commendable dignified silence on the matter vs speaking up about Michelle to the media.
