Believable: The Coco Berthmann Story

Chapters

Coco Berthmann's public story of sex trafficking garners attention and speaking engagements. However, inconsistencies and lies about smaller details emerge, raising questions about the truth of her larger story.
  • Coco's claims of severe abuse raise skepticism due to their extreme nature.
  • Her timeline of events in Germany seems suspicious.
  • Coco gets caught in minor lies, like faking singing videos, which cast doubt on her overall credibility.

Shownotes Transcript

By the summer of 2019, Coco Berthmann has gone public with her story. She's regularly invited to appear on podcasts and to speak at anti-trafficking events. One organization even flies her to Miami to give the keynote address at a star-studded benefit for survivors. But privately, Coco's story just isn't adding up. She shows all the outward signs of having lived through trauma, but she keeps getting caught in lies that have nothing to do with her larger story of abuse and survival. And those closest to her are struggling to figure out what actually happened during Coco's childhood.

Plus, an unexpected call from Germany changes the course of the investigation.
