I will admit, we heard a few things about the way she was acting inside of jail and curiosity did get the best of me. So I did communicate with her as Justin. A few times I talked to her and she was relatively pleasant, but very quickly she became desperate for someone to come bail her out. And she got very belligerent with her messages.

Megan often would ask me to call her mom when she was in jail, but I never spoke to her mom. From what I know of hers, I think Gail, if you read the letters that she wrote to the jail on Megan's behalf, I would say semi-literate. It wasn't until Megan went back to jail

S22 E9: How Dare You
and had her bail revoked that gail found out the extent of megan's crimes and the extent of who megan was through the first nine months of this whole saga gail didn't know why megan was under so much scrutiny and why megan was having to go into hiding

S22 E9: How Dare You
And I think it was truly very both confusing and devastating for Gayle to go through that because I don't think she could fully grasp what Megan was and what Megan had done.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
She messaged all of us, and by all of us I mean like at least me, Alex, Alyssa, at the same time through the app, my daughter just died. I have followed Megan Stoner for seven, eight years at this point, and I've never heard any mention that she has a child. And she keeps up this story for a few days that she had a daughter who she had had 10 years ago.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
So given Megan's age, that would be like at the age of 15. And she had to give her up for adoption. And there was a car accident and the adopted mother and the daughter died. and that she found out about this in jail because she was trying to come back into her daughter's life over the past couple months.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
She had been in contact with the family and the dad had gotten a hold of her and let her know of this tragedy that happened. I will admit, it was the one time Megan sort of got me where I was just like, is this the thing that happened to her that explains it all? Did she have this child she had to give up? And so I approached it from the position of it is true.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
And then Alex and Alyssa sort of approached her from the position of like, Megan, you're a compulsive liar. We don't believe you. But I sat on the phone with her and questioned her here and there about this doesn't really make sense. And she doubles down. She was able to come back into her daughter's life, has this whole story. And I'm like, oh, my God, this is wild.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
But I sort of figured out what she was trying to do because she very quickly was making me feel guilty for my role in putting her in jail, saying, you've got to bail me out so I can go to the funeral. That was just a whole ploy to get out of jail.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
And she probably saw on a pamphlet or something in the jail, like you can't get out for funerals and it has to be a kid, a spouse, a parent or a sibling or whatever. Her dad was already dead. She doesn't have a spouse, doesn't have kids. But she thought, okay, I have a kid that I gave up for adoption that died. That might get me out. And she just went...
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
fully into it to the point that even I couldn't completely rule out that it was true because she's just so incredibly good at it she's not very smart and she's not as smart as she wants to think she is because there's always a big gaping hole in her plan but when you're in it when you're talking to her she's incredibly good at it did your daughter actually die yes I didn't know you had a kid.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
And I was trying to come into her life, and... Well, do you know what happened?
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
You said you were going to try to go, is this the family member you were telling me about?
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
I'm just going to be transparent here and say that the story about the daughter, I'm really having a hard time believing. You know, I've talked to a couple other people since I left work, and it seems like there's maybe some holes in the story. You haven't talked to anybody.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
I was going to say, you talked to Alyssa a little bit, and you messaged Alex as well, didn't you?
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
And I just... I I'm just like in the interest of being transparent, you know, just about where my head is at right now. I mean, a mom and daughter dying in a car accident is a story you've told multiple times. You understand that there's a, there's a deficit here of, of trust because of, you know, the history.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
The way you're talking about it and the way that you're like using it almost like, I need to message me in the middle of the night and say, my daughter died. Thanks. You posted in on Twitter, you know, at the beginning part of this year that you and Jake were trying to start a family and that you weren't able to, and turns out that Jake's not even a real person.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Well, you said my partner and I, and then you told me the name Jake Xavier or whatever. But anyway, you said that. And then, you know, you joined the Spice Girls Moms group because you wanted to be a mom, but you said you weren't. So I'm just, I'm very confused right now that you're bringing this out Cause there's a lot of conflicting stuff here.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
You're waiting on us to accuse you of murdering your child.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Well, I have not heard that yet. Cause I mean, it's a lot, it's a lot to add to the story at this stage.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Okay. And this is where, like, I'm just going to be honest about where my mind goes here. And just so I'm not putting up any fronts, you said you had to visit a dying relative in New Jersey so you could go and see Harry. And that turned out to not be the case. And now you're saying you have to attend the funeral and this just so happens to be out by Leo.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Is it just going to be like doing a little private ceremony or is it going to be like... I don't know yet. I mean, do you know how much trouble you're going to be in if this turns out to not be true?
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
I mean, I'm inclined to believe you because, I mean, it's a hell of a thing to lie about, but you've also told some pretty big lies in the past. Lies that you told for years and then recanted.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
You called him? How did you know that this accident had happened?
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
He told you when you called him, like you just happened to call him on Sunday and all of this has happened?
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
See, I didn't think that's how private adoptions worked. I didn't think you could do that.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Well, I hate to say, I hope it's true because if it's true, it's a tragedy, but I surely hope this is not something you would lie about. Sitting where you're sitting.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Even if you lied to the judge about this and he says, no, you're still lying to a judge. Do you understand that?
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
But you've lied on court documents before. I don't know what to believe because on the one hand, I want to believe that no one would ever lie about things like this. On the other hand, I've seen you lie about other things. And this story is a lot to accept at face value when you've never mentioned this before.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
You lied and said you had a child that you gave up for adoption and that it died in a car wreck with its adoptive mom and none of that was true. Correct. Okay. What other lies have you told me? Um... Because I can think of several just since you and I started talking. And frankly, I don't really... Like, I don't even really...
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
know where to begin because it's every time I talk to you, I then go back and talk to other people and I find out something you told me wasn't true.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
You've told me that your mom was having a heart attack and you had to get out. You told me that you had a kid that died and that I was going to take it.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Well, I'm including it in the list. And you told me multiple times that you have all this money in an account that you can pay back. And then you tell me that you're about to sign a plea deal twice. You told me you had a deal in front of you that had been offered that you were going to sign, and I find out neither of those was true.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Okay. Well, it'll show up on the my case when it does. I don't know what to believe anymore because, you know, I talk to you sometimes and you're completely pleasant to talk to and it sounds like you want to do better and I say I'm willing to help you on the road to getting better and then I get off the phone and I say, she said this, this, and this, and everybody says, yeah, none of that's true.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
I don't even know why I'm taking this call. I don't know what I'm doing anymore because the lies you tell are just so... I mean, you've burned all these bridges and you're facing all these consequences and you would still make up a lie that's that elaborate? That makes me think there's nothing you wouldn't lie about.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
You've lied so many times about things from... you know, what kind of job you had to, you sent that Amazon wishlist to everyone I know for a year. When you weren't a teacher, you ran this rental scam. You, you know, lied to get the Tesla. You lied about Brian Bosma. You lied to Harry. You've lied to you. I mean, you've lied to so many people about so many things, Megan.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
And then you want us to take your calls and talk to you and feel bad that we did what we did. And it's like nothing has changed. I'm being offered 12 years one day, and then I'm being offered three months the next. And then it comes out neither of those offers have been made in that amount of time. It's just baffling to me.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
The thing is, Tiffany, like, we're the only friends she has. Like, the only people that will talk to her are the people that put her in jail. And I said that to her one time. I was like, Megan, how does it feel right now that the only people you have a hope of helping you right now are the people who conspired to put you in jail? And she was like, please stop. Don't rub that in right now. Please.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Amanda said to me after, she's like, you're kind of nice by not pointing that out every time. After the dead kid thing, we all cut her off entirely. She reached out a few times to try to make things right. I had several phone calls from Christmas time of last year of me telling her, like, please stop calling me. I literally answer the phone and I just go, fuck off.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
And she goes, you really just paid for a phone call from the jail to tell me that? And I said, yes, because I'm sick of you calling me. And she goes, I haven't called you in like a week. And I go, you called me yesterday, twice. And she goes, is that really all you picked up the phone to tell me? She didn't even have a response for it.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
Because I'm not doing anything to help you. Because you're a compulsive liar and a thief. I've made that as clear as I can, and you just call me over and over and over again. So I don't know what else to do. I've had enough conversations with you. I've had enough conversations where you make up bullshit about having dead kids that don't exist. I think we're done with that.
Something Was Wrong
S22 E9: How Dare You
But this is one of those things where you're just going to have to do better. Like the words mean nothing because you say that every time and then you tell me that you've got a kid that died and your mom's having a heart attack and everything else under the sun you can think of to get what you want. You're just going to have to do better and
