Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke

TV Show • 2025  

Report
When popular vlogger Ruby Franke is arrested for child abuse in August 2023, it quickly becomes one of the biggest trending stories in America. For years, the Frankes' YouTube channel had documented a wholesome, happy family life, with 2.5 million subscribers tuning in at its peak. But happy families are rarely what they seem. As the cracks began to show, the family turned to counselor Jodi Hildebrandt for guidance - and rapidly found themselves trapped in a nightmare. Only the Frankes know what went on inside their home.

no, and there's one point where a cop in episode 3 says in a quite heavy american accent "out of nowhere, ruby just pulls up" which really sounded like "throws up" to me while not watching with captions but rest assured that is not what was said and nothing happens :)
