A Millennial Mind

The Shocking Story Behind 'Sweet Bobby': My Catfishing Nightmare Explained with Kirat Assi


Listen Later

In this gripping episode of Millennial Mind, I sit down with Kirat Assi to delve into her harrowing experience of being catfished for almost nine years by her own cousin, as documented in the Netflix series 'Sweet Bobby'.


Kirat recounts the emotional and psychological impact of the deception, the role of family dynamics, and the challenges she faced in seeking justice. This conversation also explores themes of coercive control, the importance of having a support system, and the healing journey post-trauma. We highlight the complexities of recognising manipulative behaviours and the societal pressures that can exacerbate such situations. An essential watch for anyone looking to understand the nuances of online abuse and the resilience required to overcome it.
