THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TELL LIES!!!

Crashing out this bad behind a man is pathetic. Smh

[antiafrosvengalis]

With all those people making excuses for her, no one can loan her money to the restitution?

[stevokevo]

She wouldn't be in this situation or have to pay anything if she had not lied for no reason. I don't feel bad for her.

This foolery ruined her life.

[RMA]

Can’t find a job? He said that’s not our problem! Get an online job!

[natbfunky]

Carlee should be given a job with The City picking up trash for the next 15 years ! She will never repay her debts

[April-hzvn]

She just needs to change her name atp cause no one is gonna trust her

[carycoller]

Her family is glad she made it home safely!!!! The dillusional silliness is still there I see. How could she NOT make it home safely when she was NEVER in an unsafe situation?

[jessicacooper]

Candace Owens offered to pay it for her, in exchange for a sit down

My granny said, "Collect cans and bottles, take them to the recycle center; Borrow a lawn mower and some gloves and get to lawn caring old folks yards for $10.00; Start a YT-channel; Blog/Vlog . . . .Change your name / move 300 miles away; ask one of your sorority sisters to hire you . . . . .YOUR DEBT TO SOCIETY needs to be PAID or PRISON!!!"

Does her parents still think she’s innocent 😇

[francesrivard]

Tell her to stop paying for the fake nails that she has. Put her in jail. I'm sure someone will be able to find a way to help pay the fines. Why doesn't her parents refinance their house and pay the restitution off?

100 hrs community service but can't find a job...
$50.⁰⁰ a month really
& only paid $300.⁰⁰ Of $18, 000.⁰⁰ SMH...

[anonone]

Prison. That's where she deserves to be or work and pay the restitution. Lock her up.

[heathermetz]

“That’s not our problem.” When told she couldn’t find a job to pay her $18, 000 restitution.

[KimmyL]

Send the bailiffs in, and if she still refuses to pay the amount off within the next three months, lock her up for 5 years.

[Victoriaistalented]

Well nobody told her to do what she did are we supposed to feel sorry for her?! Didn’t she have a job before she tried to act like Carmen San Diego!!! She should have been sent to prison she plays wayyyy too much!!!

[sistahlamb]

I had just assumed her parents would pay it for her as it was said they were fairly well off 🤷🏻‍♀️

[llottspns]

Maybe instead of a team of lawyers, just one and pay her debt. She was giving a time out basically and probably won't ever pay that money back.

I guess if you put people in jail for not paying child support then you should put someone in jail when they don’t pay back the court ordered fines!
