“There is nothing in this world that you could do that would make me love you any less.” IS WILD, she’s crazy
The best friend gave the victims’ families a HUGE slap in the face!!! 😡
Admirable MAN?? where? This was your best friend and you dare to call her killer an admirable person 😢
May this kind of friendship never find me.
With friends like Lily, who needs enemies?
Wow, I did not expect that twist. What a horrible ending to this episode. What a disgusting excuse for a best friend.
How arrogant and cowardly do you have to be to take 2 people’s lives, then say “I will take my own life on my own terms” and then not even do it. Sick. The wife is no better. She would have been better not saying anything out of respect for her friends and their families.
The victims so called best friend Lily, who’s also the killers wife gave the most insensitive statement I think I’ve ever heard. She is not a victim and should have never been allowed to make a statement. To disrespect the families like that was shocking. If she supports her husband, she should keep it private.
They put Leslie’s business out there regarding all the guys she dated and she wasn’t even the target. 🙈
