Carlee Russell admits it was a hoax. |
Let me clear: I will continue to spotlight missing women of color. Over 100,000 Black women and Black children go missing in the United States. The junk food media does not place a spotlight on the missing people of color. Thanks to Black Twitter, America woke up to the news of this missing Alabama woman.
And now Black Twitter will tear her apart after it was confirmed by the woman's lawyer, she made the whole thing up.
The Jefferson County, Alabama prosecutor has not commented on the pending charges Carlee Russell is about to face but she likely will get handed some.
She is the female "Jussie Smollett."
It did not take long for coon officer Candace Owens to chime in.
Hoover Police Chief Nicholas Derzi raised several red flags regarding Russell's account, and said that police could not yet verify Russell's story. Police also said that Russell had made several internet searches related to Amber Alerts, among other topics, in the hours leading up to her disappearance.
Hours after a lawyer representing Russell revealed the 25-year-old Alabama woman was not kidnapped as she reported to police, her now-ex boyfriend posted a statement condemning her actions.
Russell was missing for two days before reappearing in Hoover, Alabama, and telling law enforcement she had been kidnapped July 15.
By July 19, police said they had been “unable to verify” statements Russell had made about her alleged kidnapping.
In a statement shared Monday, Russell’s now-ex-boyfriend Thomar Latrell Simmons condemned her actions. Simmons had previously spoken to media and posted online about being Russell’s boyfriend before her lawyer said her kidnapping was a hoax.
In his post on late July 24, he called the nursing student his “ex” and said she had created “hurt, confusion and dishonesty.”

On the day before Emmett Till’s 82nd birthday, I give zero f**ks that Carlee Russell lied. Unlike Carolyn Bryant, Russell apologized… and she will probably suffer more consequences than Bryant who got a 14-year-old lynched and lived to be 88 years old. pic.twitter.com/SwW1wbWmOo

“I was made aware of the false narrative after coming to the defense of my ex Carlee Russell,” he said in the statement. “Myself and my family’s nature was to react in love, and genuine concern. We are disgusted from the outcome of this entire situation. I strongly feel exactly like you all. blindsided with Carlee’s actions.”
He added that it’s “still an ongoing investigation” but with Russell’s “confession now we gain closure with this situation.”
He concluded by thanking followers for their support and asked that people “continue to keep us in your prayers.”
In a statement read by police on July 24, Russell’s lawyer said she apologized to the community and everyone who had searched for her.
“As for her friends and family, we ask for your prayers for Carlee as she addresses her issues and attempts to move forward, understanding that she made a mistake in this matter. Carlee, again, asks for your forgiveness and prayers,” the statement concluded.
