Tonight is Greek Easter at midnight, and--
New beginnings, resurrection.
I'm waking up today in honor of Greek Easter,

I'm definitely planning on talking to Jen tonight.
Jen is putting out there with people and suggesting
that I'm the one that's responsible for her eye.

Jen pulled our friend Jake aside and told him,
"Don't get too close to Angie, because she's the one
that punched Heather in the eye."
If she's trying to put rumors out there
because, you know, and ruin my good name
because hers is in the toilet,
that is nothing I would even be capable of doing.
Why do you think Jen is doing this?
You know, once Jen turns on you or feels that she has, you know,
you have crossed her, she'll forever be out to get you.
This is the final straw for me to go and say
that I would actually hurt someone
when she's been the violent one, she's been the aggressive one.

Guess what? Everybody is saying that perhaps her and Heather
were in their room, doing Barbie scissor kicks,

When all is said and done
and Jen can talk freely about this,
I would love to sit down and understand what went on,
but I don't want to know while there is an open trial pending.
All that's going to do is put me in a position where
I could end up being questioned.
I have no interest in that.
You just--you believe the people you love.
I mean, take a moment right now and, like, look around
and see how beautiful it is and how peaceful,
and then consider the circumstances
that we're here under, and it's heartbreaking.

Here's some snacks.
Oh, we have Sour Patch Kids.
All right, so you're feeling better?
Um, I don't like how you handed that to me.
I know. It's because I am, like, have lost my hostess skills.
I'm sorry.
Tell us about the day. What happened?
The hardest part for me this week has been
somebody that I trusted,
that I made sure that he didn't lose his job
five times at the company we worked for,
made sure that his kids were put through school,
made sure he had food on his table,
what's been the hardest for me this week is to learn that
that----ing person has turned on me,
and now I just read this sh-- that he said.

Stuart's a piece of----ing sh--.

And you know what? He can play the,
"Oh, I'm little Stuart Smith."
No, bitch, you're an evil mother----er,

I would not be in this thing at all if it wasn't for Stuart.
Stuart----ing played me.
I feed you while you work.
While you make me money, I feed you.
It's good. It's a good day.
Okay. Make money. Eat your banana.
You see the progress over the last year and a half
where Stuart's like, "Jen didn't know anything.
Jen didn't know anything. Jen's not involved in this.
Nope, she's not."
Then all of a sudden, he pleads guilty.
And so for me to finally see all this information
and be like, "Oh, okay.
This is what was going on behind my back."

Why do you think he's doing it?
- Just to get a less sentence? - Yeah.
♪
What she's telling us, I can hardly believe.
How is Stuart, the guy that chased her snacks
and ordered her waxing appointments
and, you know, bought her tampons,
how is he also running this scheme and framing her,
and she doesn't know?

It makes me think, like...
Uh, I don't... uh, it just makes me think,
like, it's so hard to, like, trust people.
We all know how this world works,

people who do bad things suffer with their own being every day.
There's so much I wish I could say to the public.

there was something that they could not get out of.

Not last night, but the night before.

Let's get some burrata, the crab cakes,

BOTH: Thank you.
I have so many questions.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm just-- I mean, are you okay?
It feels so surreal.
Yesterday, I felt like the gamut.
I was angry. I was sad.
Confused. I'm--I'm, like, wow, this is who she is.
This is a bad, awful thing she's done.
Thank you.
I am overwhelmed with grief--
grief that we are in this situation,
that there's victims,
that our friend is going away for a decade,
and she has a 16-year-old.
That made me bawl my eyes out yesterday.
[voice breaking] All I could think about was her in the van,
saying, "I'm not gonna see Rieffy get married."
I might not see my--my Omar go to prom.
I know, I know! And I feel for you! I feel it for you!
This is my----ing life! This is my life!
This is my kids! This is my kids!

[groans]
When you read what she said, what did you feel?
Shock.
What she pled guilty to is... so bad.
And the fact that she's taken it this far
and gone for this long and proclaimed her innocence,
and now I can only think she did it,
and she thought she was gonna get away with it,
and then when she realized she didn't get away with it,
her story changed.
I didn't wanna believe
that Jen was capable of doing any of that.
It was the last thing I expected,
for her to plead guilty.
What made her decide not to fight?
- This is a theory. - Mm-hmm.
I think that Coach discovered was Jen was doing
and that it was impossible to explain away.
And then in that 3,500 with all the witness statements
and all the witnesses, there was something
that they could not get out of. - Refute.
And it was a smoking gun that said, "Okay, the gig is up.
You have to walk in there.
You have to say you did these things,
and you have to go to prison for a decade."

And I'll tell you right now, if my husband knew about it,
and my husband was involved... - I'd be----ing losing my mind.
And he said, "There you go, sis.
I'll take care of the boys. I'll see you in 15 years."
That, to me, is a whole other tragedy.
