Here is the statement in full:

A statement from Carlee Russell's attorney: 'There was no kidnapping ... my client did not see a baby. My client did not leave the Hoover area. My client apologizes for her actions to this community ... Carlee asks for your forgiveness & prayers.'

@_ParadiseParis1 She needs to publicly apologize for doing this smdh

- Retrograde

What she did was wrong & she’ll have to pay for her actions. I’m glad she’s home safe, admitting what she did & hopefully getting help. Just don’t want this episode to affect the attention & care needed for the next missing person.

She coulda hired CHATGPT to deliver a message this devoid of compassion…

Yall remember ballon boy? Smh

My guy from the Hoover Police has a plethora of press conference ready suits.

i think fessing up to the public is a good first step. and tbh i would’ve done it through my attorney as well or atleast had him present. along with a Doctor to assure everyone i’m getting psychiatric treatment lol but that’s just how i’d handle it. not that i’d ever do this

If she is charged she should not only pay for search and rescue efforts but she should be sentenced to a lifetime of searching for real kidnapping victims to truly understand their families pain!

Apparently she lied again & is claiming innocence! She's working on a new statement with this man:

I gotta roast her
