Brie Lybrand
She's accusing her dad of abusing and raping her and her mom when she was a kid.
Interesting story, and there isn't much information on it. There's a fair few people who seem to think it's some sort of acting audition. If it is real and supposed to be some cathartic calling out of her dad, I don't like the fact that she's being put through more crap by doubters. You know what the internet is like.

Jeanie -- Please do not put any validity in the eye gaze direction. There is no scientific basis for this theory whatsoever.

I disagree with the comments of those that see a liar. I see someone who has learned to deal with her trauma by protecting herself and thinking about what she would say to her rapist if she ever had the opportunity to do so. I am imagine she has thought about this speech over and over and over again, coupled with her acting abilities (or a flare for the dramatic), I believe this is why it may seem rehearsed. But I agree with you eyes, I see pain, anger, vengeance (moments with nervous laughing and squinting eyes-this reminds of mocking someone you hate) and at some parts relief, like she finally found a way to get it out (looking at the ceiling, up to the side, like when people put their hands up and say "FINALLY!" and then relief). I don't believe she has a serious mental problem, I think may suffer from depression, anxiety, and maybe some paranoia, but then again so would anyone with her life story.

Eyes, she often looks up and to the right. While that's a very basic potential sign of deception, it's something Eyes. The video is also edited. Why edit something so raw and real. I see a liar. She also appears to have motive, she's an actress seeking work. I think this was a stunt to gain attention and she did gain that attention almost overnight. I'm not buying this one.

When I watch her talk, I see sincere emotions that are supporting what she is feeling: disgust and anger are most prevalent. These are supportive of her story. I watched about 4 minutes of her speaking and nothing jumps out to me as untrue.

She's presented absolutely no proof to back it up.
- She's, for some reason, managed to keep a polaroid of her mothers "beaten and bruised" face after 15 years. Despite the ability to create and upload Youtube videos, she doesn't have the most basic ability to scan anything. All her "evidence" on her Twitter feed is from photos she's taken of the paper.
- The polaroid, despite being 15 years old (and the fact that polaroids weren't in readily available use 15 years ago, whoops, thanks to a little thing called the 90's) isn't damaged or worn and is incredibly white. And bears a strikingly resemblance to a woman on reverse Google image search who is stock photos regarding abuse, which appeared before this womans video.
- The "court report" doesn't contain any precidng judge or the name of the mother. On top of this no journalist or news agency has been able to find either the mother or any copy of any documentation of this divorce outside of this Twitter picture. Strange.
- Despite the clear emotional fallacies, a rape of a child as young as 4 years old is not only NOT COMMON, the point of insanely rare, but also reported in some form of medical history due to the simple fact that a 4 year old will be severely physically damaged (infections, constant bleeding, scarring, etc. etc) if raped at 4-fucking-years old. It happens. It can happen. But that somehow her illogical, evidence lacking story should be believed because she was FOUR? No.
- She has someone with a similar name join her existing Youtube subscribers. She's gone from a nobody to the hundred thousand hits overnight because someone who sounds like her dads name has subscribed to her Youtube account. Apparently this means he's going to find her and rape her again after having "no contact with her" for 15 years despite knowing where she was. From this she's threatened his life with "self-defense".
- Her video is filmed in her University. Not her home. So even if we were to believe her that this isn't a fake, she has taken a firearm to school and brandished it.
- It's fake. The outrage is fake. Until someone finds SOME form of evidence to back up her story, it's QUITE LITERALLY "he said, she said". Except in this case the "he said" hasn't even come forward to make the claim against her.

You can just start watching the video from the beginning. She's got plenty of other vids on youtube if you want a baseline.
