Description

In 2021, Carrie Jade Williams posted a video saying she was being sued by her AirBnB guests for the disability aids in her home. She went viral on TikTok, won a prestigious literary essay competition, and branded herself as a disability activist living with Huntington's Disease. But Carrie Jade wasn't who she said she was.


In Episode 1, Sue Perkins meets Katherine Denkinson, the journalist who uncovered the astounding truth behind the real life of Carrie Jade Williams. Then they dive into an online rabbit hole to learn about the twists, turns and outrageous lies behind that video and Carrie Jade's life.
