Influencer Lures Followers To Move In, Then Sex Traffics Them To Fund Her Witchcraft
The Santo Expedito prison in Brazil is. often called the real dungeons. There. are some reports that 20 plus prisoners. are shoved into one singular cell. Most. of them are left to sleep on the floor. waiting to be let out maybe once a day. for 30 minutes a day if they're lucky. The rest of the days they're left to sit. on this sticky rat-infested, cockroach upside-down, sticking to the. cement floors of the prison. It would.
take sometimes weeks for prisoners to. even get a fresh hit of air to their. nostrils. Fresh air. BBC investigators. go to interview someone from that very. prison. They're outside waiting in the. permitted area where they've set up all. these cameras. And there she comes. She's coming out. Out walks this thin, tall, blonde woman. She used to be a model in New York. She. was rumored to have been dating Leonardo. DiCaprio at one point. Her ex-husband is.
a crypto millionaire. What the hell is. she doing in this prison in Brazil? The reporters ask her, "What are you. doing here?" And she scoffs. They're. saying that she is a danger to society. because she can change people's minds. with her words. She can whoop. turn their brains around. Well, can you? Can I? You tell me. Can I? I hope I can. She claims that she has. been unjustly placed into this prison. with real criminals. She does not belong.
here. This is an injustice. But when she gets up at the end of the. interview, she looks at the two. interviewers from the BBC and says, "Later you will find out whether I have. power or not.". I'm sorry, what? Is that a threat? She smiles. I don't like this one. And walks off. Wait, what do you mean? She tells one of the interviewers, "You're going to find out if I have real. powers or not." And they're like, "Did. you just threaten us? Like we have this. on camera. Are you threatening us right.
now?" She says, "I don't like this one.". And she points at one of the. interviewers, the one that was asking. the harder questions. And she walks off. Did she seriously just threaten BBC. reporters? Why is this woman being. called the female Andrew Tate? And how. did she get away with human trafficking. and slavery charges for so long, earning. millions of dollars every single month? And is it really true that she can talk. to aliens? This is the case of Kat Torres, Brazilian model and influencer turned.
human trafficker. We would like to thank today's sponsors. who have made it possible for Rotten. Mango to support the Nomi Network. This. international nonprofit provides.
life-changing opportunities, connections. to safe employment, and resources for. survivors. This episode's partnerships. have also made it possible to support. Rotten Mango's growing team and would. also like to thank you guys for your. continued support. As always, full show. notes are available at. rottenmangopodcast.com. Today's case has mentions of essay. trafficking. The perpetrator of today's. case also has various mental health. diagnosis, but to be very clear, in an. effort to destigmatize such diagnoses. does not make someone inherently. violent, nor is today's case a reliable. representation of mental health or.
hallucinogens. We're going to get there. We had two books translated for the. source material for this case. One was. written by the perpetrator before she. committed the crimes and one was written. by one of the victims. The victim was. brave enough to share very in-depth. details on the trauma that she endured. while essentially being held hostage and. specific details of what she had to go. through whilst being trafficked. All the. very specific quotes, situations are. attributed to the original source. material, the victim's own book called.
Searching Desiree. I highly recommend. you read it if possible. She does an. incredible job at highlighting the. process of how she was groomed by this. famous influencer and ultimately. victimized. Is the book in English or. It's in Portuguese. Oh. But it is. remarkably insightful. So, with that. being said, let's get started. There is. one sentiment in the world of high-end. date arrangements. The higher the cost. of the appointment, the stranger the. request. One of Chanel's was willing to.
pay $3,000 for the hour. He worked for. this major airline company. He takes her. to the airport and opens the door to one. of the airline's administration offices. inside the airport. And she's terrified, but she does as she's told. He's got. this big duffel bag with him. What the. hell is in that? She scrunches her. eyebrows and he unzips it, pulls out a. flight attendant uniform. "Can you wear. this?". She says, "Long story short, she. fulfilled all of his sick fantasies that.
night. It was alarming.". But not as alarming as or well, weird as. the party that she was invited to. I. mean, on paper the deal made sense. $24,000 for the night. There's going to. be 11 clients and Chanel would be hired. along with another well, you know, another woman. Chanel goes. thinking it's a bachelor party or a. birthday celebration, retirement, I. don't know, who knows. She shows up, it's a family. Four uncles, three. cousins, two brother-in-laws, and two.
brothers. The two women, they danced for. the 11 family members, men. Eventually, they're taken into separate bedrooms. upstairs and the 11 family members were. just going from one room to another. skippity hoppiting between the two. women. They're getting paid for the job. They consented, but it was definitely. alarming nonetheless. Not a great night. But Chanel was taught. very early on, just go into a trance, disassociate from what is happening, and. power through. It's not great advice,
but it's working, at least temporarily. But one of the more lucrative parties. that you can be invited to and be paid. hired to be a part of are bachelor. parties, which is very depressing. Men are typically younger and they're. all acting like there's some sort of. dooming apocalypse happening. Like it's. going to be the last night of their. lives. But it does bring in the money. To the point where the dancers at the. gentlemen's club, they would often break. out into literal fights to be requested. by the bachelor parties that are coming.
in. This particular one was not at the club. Chanel was hired on this big yacht to. have fun with this new bachelor and all. of his friends. And she says that she. was mainly focused on the groom. He had. asked her to be exclusive for the night, which means that, you know, how much. does she charge? Chanel's looking around. She's like, "Well, I got some targets I have to hit. this month." She did some calculations. and says, "You know what? I'm going to. ask for five times the normal rate of. what I normally charge, which is already. $10,000 an hour. So, let's just see what.
happens." Without hesitation, he. instantly transfers the money and the. two of them go into the master suite of. the yacht. And after spending hours. together, he decides to go back to his. friends at the party upstairs on the. deck of the yacht while Chanel showers. And as she's freshening up, ready to go. back to work upstairs, she checks her. phone and there's a bunch of missed. calls. Wait, how much did he transfer her? Like. Like 50. Oh. Before she can call the missed caller. back, she gets another ring from the.
same number. Hello? You've been exposed. You're all over the. media. What? Chanel said that she could feel the. blood drain completely from her face. She's feeling nauseous, dizzy. She feels. like she needs to sit down. What do you. mean? Don't worry. I have a plan. Everything. is under control. How do you have everything under control. if it's already out to the media? I need you to listen to me. Leave the. bachelor party immediately. Do you hear. me, Desiree?
Chanel, I mean, Desiree, she says, "Hearing her real. name snapped something in her. It. brought her back to reality. She was no. longer Chanel, the one that gets hired. for bachelor parties. She's back to. being Desiree and she feels like she's. about to be sick. Her phone starts. ringing nonstop. Unknown caller, unknown. caller, probably mainstream media news. outlets, the media, family, friends, I. don't know. She's been exposed. And then. a text message from the same person that. she was just on the phone with. "Destroy.
your SIM card and buy a new one. Leave. the party immediately.". That text message is from Kat Torres, a. Brazilian Instagrammer with over a. million followers. Why was a random influencer calling. Desiree and telling her what to do? And. why is Desiree listening to every single. command that this influencer gives? When. Kat sits down to write her book, she. knows it's not going to be easy. She's. like, "This is going to be very rough. My whole life story in what, 2 300. pages? How do I even summarize my life?".
But she did not know that there's these. forces working against her. She said she. was writing one of the most important. parts of her book about the time that. she had a paranormal experience. She was. editing, rewording, writing all night. long. And when she woke up, 40 pages of. her manuscript were just missing, gone. Kat has never had this happen before. It's not like she fell asleep on her. computer. It's not like she had a. broken-down old laptop. It is clear to.
Kat. that whatever is happening is a. supernatural higher power that does not. want her to share her story. She even shares this in the book. She. says, "This is something that she's used. to because she's always been like this. Ever since she was little, she knew she. was different. She heard voices. Well, it was mainly like one. She calls. it the voice, which is also the title of. her book, The Voice, not the singing. show, but just The Voice. She would have. deep conversations with the voice ever. since she was young. At first she.
thought it was the cat talking to her. She's like, "Are you talking to me? My. cat is talking to me. Do you know how. rich I would be if I could prove that my. cat can talk to me?". But it wasn't the cat. It's like she's. meant to be this medium. The spirits are talking to her and. they've always been talking to her. Even. the last words of her book read, "Book. written by Cat Torres and the voice. Praise be.". During a talk show, Cat tells the host. about her book and everything that she's. been through. "I can read minds.
And honestly, everyone could read minds. if they truly wanted to. I can look at the audience right now and. I can see what everyone is thinking.". The host turns to her, "Then what am I. thinking right now?". "I don't know. I would really need to. concentrate. I would need to um tune. into your vibrations first to be able to. read your thoughts. By the way, I can talk to aliens." "And. what do the aliens tell you?". "Oh, it's uh nothing from this world.
Since I was 8 years old, God gave me. this energy and this voice." Cat Torres. is absolutely unhinged. I'm just going. to start with that. But she was also. never meant to be rich. That's what. people told her. They said, "You're. never going to be rich." She grew up. very, very impoverished in Brazil. Her. dad was an alcoholic who would say. things like, "Women are born to clean. and cook and they should be grateful. that the world is even putting up with. them." Her mom was never present. She. was more focused on her marital. troubles. Cat had this older sister who.
really never cared to suffer together. Sometimes everybody in the house would. leave for days. There's nothing in the. fridge. There's no food, no money. Cat. has to fend for herself and her sister. would come back days later with snacks. Cat is not allowed to eat any of them. because they're her sister's snacks that. her sister bought with her own money and. she refuses to give Cat even a singular. bite as she's just starving. In this house, it's every man for. themselves. Cat turns this into sheer. willpower and confidence. She learns to.
think, "I pity whoever is going to get. in my way.". She said she was a very angry kid. growing up. She just kept thinking, "People are like puppets, you know? Stupid. You just need to know how to. give the right commands and manipulate. them the right way. That's it. Once you do that, you can do anything.". Which she does. By the time that Cat is. of age, she moves to Miami, signs with. Elite Model Management, which has signed. really big models such as Kendall. Jenner. Cat does end up booking some.
modeling jobs. Her biggest ones were um. L'Oreal, Calvin Klein, Vogue Brazil, American Express. But they're. they're the really small projects. Her. face was not even on every single Calvin. Klein poster in the mall nationally or. even regionally. Just regular small work. here and there. The bulk of her modeling. involves either lingerie or swimwear. And Cat hates modeling. She lived in Miami, moves to New York. It's just depressing. She says the city.
is depressing. There are no real friends. in the city. Everybody is cutthroat. Everyone for themselves. It reminds her. of her childhood and she hates it. Cat. says that there were predatory men in. the industry who would threaten to ruin. her whole life if she did not act or. perform in the way that they wanted, which I don't doubt. But after modeling, Cat decides, "Maybe acting is a lot more. lucrative and maybe I'm more clothed. when I'm an actress." She does briefly. attend the Susan Batson Studio to try.
her hand at acting. It's a very. interesting place. It's an acting. coaching studio. It's said that Nicole. Kidman, Tom Cruise, Oprah Winfrey, they've all been trained there. There's. a lot of famous actors that study and. adopt for their roles. Her method. revolves around three core elements. If. you're going to play the role of a. character for a movie, TV show, a play, doesn't matter. You need three core. elements for this character. You need to. have a need. What does your character. need in life? A public persona. What does your.
character want to be perceived as by. other characters? And then a singular, at least one, tragic flaw of your. character. What is your character's deepest needs. and desires? What is their public. persona that they want to be perceived. as by others? And what is their tragic. flaw? It's believed that the interplay. and the conflict between the three. different elements is what makes a great. character feel well developed. That's so deep. Yeah, I found this. comment on Reddit. So please take this. with some salt, but they say, "I took a. class with a couple that studied there.
at the studio. Apparently, one of the. classes takes place with everybody just. completely naked. One of the guys was actually an. incredible actor though. The other one. was like a pretty model type who is. pretty bad at acting.". You know what's so interesting? Like. whatever you just said, those three. pointers, I feel like we can even think. about about ourselves. Oh, yeah. What is my one tragic flaw? And that will also kind of explain how. we interact with the world, isn't it? That's true. Cuz you're acting that. character, but But it's still a real.
fleshed out human being. Yeah. That makes sense. Okay, now I'm just. having like a therapy session in my. mind. So with no respect at all, I think. that Cat Torres falls into the latter. category. Pretty model type who's pretty. bad at acting. But don't let me be the. judge. Cat Torres does not book many. acting roles. She's not known for being. an Oscar winning actress. She's known. for being a human trafficker. I'll get. there. Her greatest work was, you know. the movie Fast and the Furious? She was an extra in one of the music.
videos to one of the soundtrack songs. for the show. Not even like the main. ones. Just like a Oh, so she's not in. the movie? No. She's just an extra in a music video. that was on the soundtrack album for the. movie. Yeah, it's complicated. The song is a. really good song. It's not one of the. more recognizable ones. It's called. Angel by Prince Royce. It's good, but. she's just kind of in the background. She does, however, do interviews where. she talks about how she wants to win an. Oscar one day. And she spoke about this.
future project that she had coming up. She was working with one of her close. Brazilian filmmaker friends about a. Russian girl who was kidnapped. She's. going to be playing the Russian girl. She She said she kind of looks Russian, right? She says the movie is supposed to. raise awareness to the global problem of. human trafficking. Which is a level of irony that my brain. was having a very hard time computing. She mentions this in the interview and. her Brazilian filmmaker friend, his. phone is blowing up. Everybody's. congratulating him. "Oh my god, you got. the green light on the film. Congratulations. Why didn't you tell.
us?" He's so confused what's happening. He reaches out to Cat because yes, this. was a very real idea that he had, but. nothing was set in stone, nothing was. concrete. He He didn't even cast Cat nor. is he doing the project. It's like if. you told a random friend that you wanted. to open up a farm one day. That'd be. kind of nice. Two years later, you click. on their Instagram live and they're. talking about how you're going to be. They're going to be the CEO to your. chicken coop. You're like, "What is. happening? That was What are you talking.
about?" He tries to text Cat. She. refuses to respond. Nothing ever comes. of that. But this is all in the past, okay? This is pre-marriage Cat. She's a. new woman now because she is married to. American Coleborn Bell. Which is honestly the most American name. I've. American what? Coleborn Bell. That's his name and it's. like the most American name I've ever. heard in my life. She gets married and the two had met in. the Hollywood Hills at a nepo baby's.
home. That's how he's described. He's. apparently the son of one of the biggest. musicians in Hollywood. He's much, much. older. He's won 20 Grammys, this artist, and this is his son. who I don't know if he has any accolades. of his own, but it's at his house that. Cat Torres meets Coleborn. She's hosting. an ayahuasca session. Ayahuasca is a tea containing a plant. mixture. It contains a natural hallucinogen. that's known as DMT. So you take it and.
it's reported to taste pretty nasty. It's got a thick molasses-like texture. One person describes it like drinking. motor oil diluted with a splash of. water. It's disgusting, but it's not. about the taste. It is about spiritual. enlightenment. A lot of people will take. ayahuasca to reach their inner selves, to hallucinate and purge their darkest. thoughts. It's actually been used for. thousands of years. In South American. countries, mostly for religious and. spiritual context, it's considered a. medicine. But of course, because a bunch.
of Americans are taking it, a bunch of. other Americans have gone down into. South America to open up resorts. inviting people from America to come. join this curated ceremony or journey. where you. come and get therapy. in the form of a hallucinogen. And it's recommended that you don't go. to an American-run resort. If you really. want to try ayahuasca, you want to go to. the people who have been practicing it. for thousands of years because Yeah, there's been a lot of situations with. the American-run resorts of essay.
accusations, allegations, allegations of. really unsafe, dangerous practices. But. one person who says that they've taken. it said, "Ayahuasca dissolved the wall. between myself and the world. I was. staring into what I could only describe. as the world's most honest mirror. It's. like a horror show, but it was. impossible to look away. I saw what I. needed to see when I was ready to see. it. Ayahuasca exposes the gap between. who you think you are and who you. actually are. The pain of seeing that.
gap for the first time was practically. unbearable. Some studies have shown that. it activates repressed memories that. allow people to come into a new. understanding of their past. It helps. others work through memories of. traumatic events, which, you know, some. people think it could be a drug that. could help with depression and PTSD. But. like any hallucinogen, I would be very. wary. I think I'm self-aware enough to. know that my brain is super easy to. break. I don't think that I would ever. be participating. One person who really. loved the experience says, "I saw 40 to.
50 snakes coming out of someone's mouth. and going into my mouth.". I'm just saying, that would break my. brain. And then the purge hits. You vomit, diarrhea, cry, laugh for 12 hours. straight. They say that you're crying. and vomiting out all the negativity in. your life, the stress, anxiety, fears, regrets, self-loathing. It's physically. coming out of your body. You're purging. it. He also states that he saw himself. floating in his mother's womb. Just. suspended in flesh and fluids. And this.
was his way of seeing how his own. mother's pain and confusion of raising a. child for the first time must have been. so difficult. He writes, "Then the scene shifts and. I'm floating in what I assume is kind of. a primordial soup. I think I'm a. vibrating particle now and string theory. suddenly makes sense in a way that I. could never explain.". People say that a single Ayahuasca trip. is like a decade of therapy packed into. one singular night and that's probably. an overstatement, but it's not wrong.
For a night, I feel like I got a. lifetime worth of anger and bitterness. out of me. He continues, "Ayahuasca is the best and. worst thing I've ever done. I spent a. week staring down all my and. all my insecurities and it was totally. liberating, but it was also terrifying, not something I want or need to see ever. again." A question worth asking yourself. is, if you looked into the world's most. honest mirror, what would you see? And do you even really want to see it? Cat and the group are seemingly not.
doing it for religious purposes in a. mansion in the Hollywood Hills. They're. just doing it for the vibes. Their. sessions would typically take place. Saturday night, go all the way up until. Sunday midday or even Sunday night. They. would sit there in the mansion in the. Hollywood Hills singing songs and that's. where Colburn and Cat start their. relationship. Colburn Bell, if you look him up, he's. mainly known for being one of the early. crypto traders in the US. They met at Ayahuasca ceremony in the. Hollywood Hills and during this time,
Cat is going through a life cleanse. She's not having intimate relations with. anyone. She's on a full cleanse. She. just wants to reset her life. But when. Colburn comes into her life, she jumps. at the chance and she asks him out to. dinner. And Colburn says, "You know, at. first I was really hesitant because I. wasn't ready to settle down into a. serious relationship. I had concerns. that I couldn't. be at the level of commitment that Cat. needed.". But he also felt really bad cuz Cat. would tell him about how she was essayed. as a kid. Her parents would leave her.
starving at home fending for herself. She never knew when her next meal was. going to be. Then modeling was rough and. she just tells Colburn that she wants to. settle down. She just wants She wants. stability in her life. Modeling was so. traumatic. These modeling agencies, she. says, are just all fronts for work. Selling beautiful women to ultra-wealthy. clients and she doesn't want this life. anymore. And it's kind of tugging at him because. he's like, maybe he can settle down, too. The two get married within 6 months of.
meeting. And when they initially get. married, Colburn says, "I was not. wealthy when we initially got married.". So this is before he acquires a lot of. his crypto assets. But somehow Cat is. posting on social media every single day. all these expensive things, Gucci bags, Prada bags, Balenciaga bags. He had no. idea where he was she was getting this. money. Cuz it's definitely not from him, at least not in the beginning. The whole. marriage itself actually is very odd. One would assume that one of the main. reasons he wanted to marry Cat was. because he thought she wanted to settle.
down because that's what she said. But. after they get married, she's obsessed. with social media. She is so good at. manipulating reality. That is what. Colburn says. Sometimes she would go to. a five-star hotel, walk in there, ask to. see the presidential suite because she. works for a very wealthy couple who. wanted her to take some pictures of the. suite just to make sure it's to their. liking before they book it for a month. She goes up there, she's taking a bunch. of pictures, then she posts it on. Instagram as if she had paid $50,000 a.
night and just woke up in the suite to. this beautiful view. "Good morning. Waking up to this view of Central Park. in the presidential suite of the Plaza. Hotel is a memory that I will forever. cherish." Along those lines. She would. stay up all night reading through all of. her comments. She would freak out over. the smallest remarks people would leave. And Cat was even a very famous meme at. one point. The meme is a picture of Cat. staring into the abyss. Her hair is messy. She looks like she's. about to start crying. She looks like. she's had a rough day. Her eyes are.
empty. This meme was very big in Brazil. It would be like, "When you want to go. home, but your boss asks you if you have. 15 minutes real quick.". What's fascinating, and a lot of people. don't know this, is but Cat is the one. behind those memes. She would sit there and make 15 memes of. herself every single day. She would take. a picture of herself and study all the. current trending jokes and she would add. a funny caption and she would spend the. entire day creating 15 memes and sure. enough they go viral. Wow. Yeah.
That is crazy. So she's clever. She. knows like she just got to get get her. face out there. Yeah. Become famous. Yeah. Colburn says, "Cat was always doing. something between her meme-making. machine, tea ceremonies, acting classes. She would sleep maybe two to four hours. every night. She barely slept." That. mixed with the Ayahuasca was probably. not a great idea. It just. Cat says, "Because she's a medium, it's. a little bit different for her because. she heard voices ever since she was a.
kid. She would take Ayahuasca more. frequently than most people." Some. people take Ayahuasca once in their life. and they're like, "I'm never going to do. that again. It was a great experience, but I think it's a once-in-a-lifetime. Like you really don't need to do it. again." Some people say, "I do it maybe. once every 2 years just to reset." Some. people say, "Well, I've worked it into a. few times a year." She would take it. once every 2 weeks. Whenever she felt like it. And she would enter into a 13-hour.
trance. She says, "The things you see. inside, I've already talked to Jesus. Christ and I didn't even believe in. Jesus Christ. You can visit people, your. loved ones that died, your followers, you can visit them.". Which is I mean, it's supposed to be a thing where you. see, I don't know, you see that, you. think, "Well, that's nice. I saw Jesus. Christ. Maybe I should self-reflect. Maybe I'm religious." But clearly, Cat. thinks this is a sign. One citizen says, "Yet while you can obtain profound. insights and breakthroughs with.
Ayahuasca, you can also fall into deep. delusions. It can be a deeply blissful. and visionary experience, which can be. its own sort of trap if you start. chasing it, which many people fall into. This is part of the classic game of. sensations.". And there are very clear side effects of. taking Ayahuasca too frequently. And of. course, it affects different people. differently. One citizen writes, "My. mind and perception were bouncing back. between evil and good. I could see and. feel complete magic and light to. complete darkness. Eventually all the.
light went away and I became separate. from everything and everyone and there. was just a void and my personality had. changed into something else. I actually. ran away from the ceremony thinking that. I was running away from life. The energy. in my body felt like poison. Every sound. hurt my ears and even food tasted bad. I. became the ugliest version of myself. that I didn't even recognize." They. leave the resort, the retreat. They come. back to America. Months later, they. write, "It completely changed my brain. chemistry. My mind was completely taken. over. I could not identify with myself.
anymore. My mind felt like it was. shattering over and over and over again. I would get this constant stream of. negative thoughts piercing my head for. months, changing my personality over. time. I started losing memories, my. values, my perceptions, my mind. Intense. energy seized through my body and I. could not sleep for weeks. My brain. would hurt. My perception of time was. completely I ended up in the psych ward. from going manic and from constantly. screaming that I was doomed for all of. eternity and would be going to hell. All I could perceive was how I was going.
to be tortured for the rest of eternity. from the sounds of chainsaws and dogs. barking to my teeth falling out and then. being burned alive. I ended up in the ER. three times and the psych ward. I never. had any mental illnesses in the past. prior to taking Ayahuasca. Now I find it. hard to ever leave the house. I have. major anxiety, depression, and fear. I. lost my business. I lost my partner. I. feel completely disconnected from my. heart and spirit. I don't know what. emotions are anymore. All I feel is. despair." He later updates his Reddit.
post to say 1 and 1/2 years later, he finally feels somewhat normal again. 1 and 1/2 years later. Some people have reported if you go to. the wrong retreats, if you go to the. wrong practitioners, so-called American shamans who lure. other Americans there to make money from. their retreat, your mind could break cuz they don't. facilitate it well. And if Cat Torres is the one. facilitating the Ayahuasca ceremony, I. imagine it is not rooted in the great.
culture and history that it's supposed. to be rooted in. Even Colburn, her. husband, notices it. Colburn says their. marriage starts deteriorating, just. incinerating. Colburn is miserable. I. don't know if it's the Ayahuasca that. she keeps taking or maybe it's a. personality issue, but everything. Colburn does, Cat is upset. I wish I. were joking, but she would have a dream. that he's cheating on her and she would. wake up screaming and physically. assaulting him over the dream. Not even just like, "I'm mad at you. I. had a dream." Just physically assaulting.
him. If he received any sort of message. from a woman on his phone, it could be. the banker that happens to be a woman. It could be his realtor that happens to. be a woman. Hell, it could be his mom. Any woman on the phone, she will not ask. questions. She will not gather context. She will not try to see if he's flirting. with them. She'll immediately call that. person and start cursing them out and. threatening to kill them. They're. located in LA right now or Yes, so they. moved from LA to New York. She moves. around a lot, but primarily she's. between LA and New York and then.
eventually she'll settle down in Texas. Then one day Colburn comes home and. there's this random Brazilian woman. living with them. He's like, "Who is she? What is she. doing in our home?" She follows me on. Instagram. "Okay, what is she doing in our home?". She's going to help me with my business. I mean you really have to be at like a. lost cause stage of your relationship. and marriage to no longer ask any. follow-up questions. Colburn does not. He's like, "Yeah, I don't even care. anymore." The random girl lives with. them for 2 months before just vanishing.
The random girl vanishes, their beloved. cat vanishes, and then Cat Torres. vanishes. Wife, pet, random roommate he. never wanted all gone. Also with his car. gone. What the hell is happening? Colburn's trying to get in contact with. Cat every single waking hour because. yeah, they were miserable, but this is. also. his wife. and his cat and his car. I don't know. which one matters more, but hello, at. least give somebody a heads-up. Nothing. She's gone. Days later she calls back. Write this.
down. This is the address. You'll find. the car with the cat inside. "Where have you been?" She just hangs. up. He's got to go find his car and his. cat. Not Cat Torres, their actual feline. cat. And he has to hire a private. investigator to find Cat Torres so he. can serve her the divorce papers. The. divorce takes longer than the actual. marriage and Cat is just opening her. mouth and saying things. She's accusing. him of stealing $20,000 from her and. turning it into $10 billion in crypto. He is a crypto millionaire, but he's not a billionaire. Mhm. And.
she's just saying stuff and he's like, "What are you saying? This is. ridiculous." Eventually they divorce. Cat takes full ownership of her social. media business. He takes full ownership. of his crypto investments and they split. the value of the house in half. To put. it nicely, Cat Torres, her life is like. a bag of trash on the side of the road. with gasoline poured all over it just. waiting for an arsonist to light a. match. When she announces her divorce. online, a lot of people turn on her. Cuz.
Cat Torres was kind of annoying. I'm. sorry. I have to say it. Even before. anyone knew about her crimes, she's just. kind of annoying. She wants you to know. that her life is perfect. Everything. about her is perfect. She's the one. that's posting on every single holiday. about her how her husband would die for. her. And it's just it's to the point. where it's like, "Okay, I feel like. you're trying to prove something to me. and not to yourself." Like it's weird. right now. And so when she announces the. divorce, people are like, "This is. weird." She also starts clubbing a lot.
and she was always known for "Oh, I eat. so clean. I'm all about a clean. lifestyle." And now she's getting drunk. every day. So her followers are like, "You are kind of weird." But she decides. now is the time. when my life is falling apart to become. a life coach. She sets up her own website, starts. posting videos on YouTube saying things. like, "If I can do it, you can do it, too. Are you able to forgive yourself? Remember not only to say that you love. yourself, but to really show it with.
your actions.". I don't even know what that means. Okay? So get up, get out of your bed. Your life and your success are waiting. for you. Your dreams are just around the. corner. And it's like, "No. You know. what's around the corner when I get out. of bed? A pile of laundry.". Desiree, she lives in Germany with her. boyfriend Matt. Matt hates it, but it's. also kind of all Matt's fault, so. Desiree can't even help but hate Matt. for it. And he knows that she knows it's.
his fault and that she hates him for it. That's what Desiree's dealing with right. now. Desiree and Matt met in Canada as. foreign exchange students. Desiree's. from Brazil, Matt's from Germany, and. Desiree saved up every single penny in. Brazil to be able to come to Canada and. study. And after a year and a half of. dating Matt, out of nowhere he's like, "Hey, so I'm thinking I'm going to move. back to my home country, Germany.". "What do you mean? There's no soft. launch to this? You're just telling me?". She's completely taken aback. He's never. mentioned this idea before and she's.
thinking, "I never thought about living. anywhere but Canada now. And that means. if you move to Germany, either we're. going to break up for good cuz we can't. do long distance prolonged or I have to. move to Germany." She talks to a few. mutual friends, other foreign exchange. students from Germany. "Just be honest. with me." "Well, Germany's not known to be very welcoming. to foreigners." These are what the. German foreign exchange students were. saying. Let's just say a lot of locals don't. like it when you don't know German. They're not very um there's not a lot of.
leeway. It's a lot of back and forth, but Desiree ends up doing it. She's. going to move to Germany to be with Matt. and it's fine because they're both. serious about their relationship. She's. going to adapt. Why not? The Germans. will love her. She's going to have cute. little babies running around Germany. It'll be perfect. A few weeks after the. move, everything falls apart and Matt is. super depressed. He doesn't like living. in Germany. And she's like, "This was your idea.". She's trying her best to be supportive, but also, "Hey, if you're struggling,
think about how I'm doing. I don't even. speak German. My family's not even here, okay?". She goes to work Monday through Friday. 9:00 to 5:00. After 5:00 she takes. German classes from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m., comes home, spends time with Matt before. waking up and doing it all over again. And she's miserable. She feels. suffocated, she's depressed, she's. anxious. She's sitting there every. single day crying and Matt can't even. help her because he's also mentally. unwell, but it's like, "Why are you. mentally unwell?" And for 9 months. Desiree has these debilitating migraines.
that just are not getting better. She. goes to several doctors. Nobody knows. what's wrong with her. They suspect it's. maybe stress. And they tell her, "Hey, why don't you try this really profound. medical technique of not being. stressed." And she's like, "Wow, that's. a really great idea. Did you go to. school for 93 years to learn this. groundbreaking advice?" Desiree is so. desperate. She steps out of her personal. comfort zone to try acupuncture. The. pain magically disappears. The migraines. are gone. Wow. And she starts thinking,
"Okay, yeah, maybe alternative medicine. is something to look into." And that's. why she books her first session with Cat. Torres. She had been following Cat. Torres for a few years now cuz they're. both Brazilian expats. So though she Cat. Torres is living in America, Desiree's. living in Canada and she's a big. influencer. And she's reading up on Cat, her ability to use methods like hypnosis. and telepathy to change people's lives. was very intriguing. Imagine this scenario. You have fought. with your boyfriend. Cat Torres will.
simply telepathically talk to your. boyfriend to make him forgive you. Wow. Yeah, Cat also claims that she could. cure just about any disease, physical or. psychological, and she knows spells such. as how to conquer a man. You could just. conjure a spell. Spells are however not. free in this economy. One session for an. hour costs about $150 to $200 of Cat's. time. Or if you just want to read about. Cat's tips and spells, you can pay $22. USD a month to be a subscriber for her. website where she posts about chakra.
opening, energy work, hypnosis. Desiree. applies for a one-on-one consultation. with Cat. The application is asking her. for her zodiac sign, full name, and you. have to make your social media profile. public so that Cat can analyze your. energy before the phone call. It's a. Zoom call. And the very first phone call. Desiree is nervous because she's. spending $150 for this. That's not a. small amount. And Cat asks, "What do you. want to discuss today?". "Um my marriage mostly.". She starts telling Cat about her. marriage to Matt. "Can I see a photo of.
Matt to analyze his energy? Ooh.". "I do not like what I'm feeling right. now, Desiree, with your energy. specifically. I could sense that you had. a good heart. Your energy is shining. brightly. It's the first thing that I. see when I look at your pictures, but. Matt, he's unreadable at first, but it's. very clear that his energy is not. compatible with yours. I do think that. you guys need to get a divorce. That is. the only best choice. However, I. completely understand if you don't do it.
right now. I'm sure it's a lot of. information to take in.". Desiree is so freaking confused. Imagine. you're just having small relationship. problems in your life. You're like, "Okay, we've been fighting over the. toilet seat or who does the dishes on. Monday." And now suddenly suddenly. they're like, "Divorce is the only. option." "What do you mean?" It's never. even crossed her mind. "Well, that's it for today's session, but I'm going to send over some material. based on what we've discussed and it's. imperative that you follow these. guidelines to the T, precisely.".
Cat sends over these audios. of her I guess like little mantras that. she does to manifest a healthier. relationship. And over the the next few. weeks, I don't know if Desiree is. thinking it's helping or if her energy. is shifting, but she's in a better place. with Matt now. They're fighting less, she's less anxious, everything is going. well. So if one session with Cat can. make such a good difference, why not. another one? So over the next few months, she does. more and more sessions with Cat and she. starts seeing more problems with Matt.
Matt is too passive about everything. It's like he doesn't want to fight for. her or the relationship. He just lets. things happen to him in his life and she. doesn't like that. Meanwhile, Matt. doesn't like the fact that every time. they fight, Desiree is like, "Well, Cat. said this." And he's like, "Who the hell. is Cat? Why is she in our relationship?". Sometimes forgetting is good. For. example, squirrels will hide thousands.
of acorns and seeds in their lifetime, often forgetting where they hid them. And that is totally okay. The uneaten. forgotten seeds can now grow into big, strong trees producing even more seeds. of their own.

She starts developing. these sores on her eyelids that won't go. away, these angry, inflamed sores. Again, she goes to all the best doctors. in Berlin and for 6 months she can. barely open her eyes because they're so. swollen. Cat is the only one that feels. confident enough to tell her what's. wrong. Get a damp cloth infused with the.
list of herbs that I'm going to send you. and take a bath with those same herbs. It's your pattern of living that keeps. generating this illness. If you stop the. pattern that you are living, the illness. will also go away. Within a month after directly, dutifully. following all of Cat's instructions, Desiree's eye sores go away and they. just never come back. And when Desiree. would want to talk to Cat about it, how. amazed she is, Cat would brush her off. and redirects every little thing that. Desiree brings up back to her marriage.
I have the gift of premonition and I'm. telling you that your husband, Matt, is. abusive. You just might not have seen it. or witnessed it yet because you are in. denial. My inner voice is telling me if. you do not separate with him, something. very bad will happen to you. It's confusing because when Desiree. would bring up things or thoughts that. she has about all of these with her. friends, everything Cat is saying, she's. asking her friends about it and they. would say, "Wait, what are you guys. saying? You guys get along. You guys are.
perfect for each other. Yeah, everybody. fights, but these are very normal fights. you're bringing up.". So, what exactly happened with the eye. sore? Nobody knows. Okay, so it was just some kind of. medical condition and. And it's gone now because of Cat. And. she says to Cat, "You know, we thought. about what you've been saying and Matt. and I have decided that we're going to. see a therapist." No. "Your therapist will be German cuz. you're in Germany. They will protect. Matt's interest over yours a thousand. percent because he is German and you're.
Brazilian. You need to divorce him.". "No, but I love him. You know all your. mysterious sicknesses that you've had. since you've been with Matt? She has. been hiring a witch who has been casting. cursing spells against you. I didn't. want to tell you this because I thought. it would freak you out. I've been trying. to counteract them. I've been very busy. I've spent a lot of money on this.". After months of this, Desiree divorces. Matt, blocks his number and moves to the. US to join Cat's coven of witches. Cat. posts online about her powerful witch.
coven. She posts pictures of her newest. members, Desiree, aka D. Area of. operation, Germany, USA and Europe. Her. public witch name has not yet been. definitively defined. Strengths, her. mental power, intelligence, wit, numbers, company, social relevance and. communication with customers. Followers. and other witches, she is the one who. saves us from society. We don't need to. speak because D will speak for us and. that way you will see everything you. want and need. Cat writes about herself. Cat, Queen,
Chief of the Witches is her second name. She is the one who commands the gang of. witches and gives the orders and. receives all the loyalty and gratitude. of the sister witches. Witchcraft of. intense power in the branch of love, money and health. Healer, healing with. the hands, healing with the mind, power. of hypnosis and mental manipulation of. any person or animal heart that carries. the answer to all the questions of the. world. Angel, caretaker of the human. race, protector of the weak and. voiceless. Cat is an important tool for. planetary change. She's the key to a new.
era of better humans. Where is she posting these? Instagram. Is this like her new little business, like a witch business? Yeah, where you can pay her to protect. you and cast spells. So, this uh Desiree. is her new recruit. Yes. into the business. Yes, but Desiree's like, "I don't know. what she's posting about cuz I'm not a. witch. I don't even really believe in. witchcraft. Like the herbs have been. helping, but she thinks it's more so.
just an alternative medicine thing. Mhm. It's not necessarily witchcraft, she. doesn't think. At least not yet. Once. she moves to the US, she slowly becomes. indoctrinated by Cat. Mhm. Then there's Leticia. It is written that. Leticia is a Cat, Major Witch in caps, very powerful, better known as the. Capeta himself. Whoever messes with one. of us is messing with a her and whoever. messes with her is messing with the. devil. The only witch Cat is afraid of.
is Leticia and Cat is not afraid of. anyone. Cat even made them all dye their. hair blonde so that they could match, like little sister witches. They all. live together in Cat's new house in. Texas. And to prove that they are a. coven of witches, they even have a. witchcraft room, which sounds like the. least witchiest thing that you could. call the room. Cat has this large altar. in the room where she haphazardly set up. a bunch of candles next to religious. images. She's not even religious. She. has these felt voodoo dolls. All their. faces have a big frown and their eyes.
are stitched on X's. It's unclear who. those voodoo dolls are. Everyone that's. unfollowed Cat in the past, perhaps? I. don't know. She also has a ton of bat's. blood, which is believed to be used in. various rituals, particularly for. protection, breaking hexes and. committing curses. Most modern bat's. blooding does not actually contain. actual bat's blood, but practitioners. use it to inscribe words of power to. enhance their spell work. You can also. use it in spells to bind negative. influences. Cat is like, "Welcome, HGTV,
to my house tour. Here's my witchcraft. room. This is where I pray to the. angels." That's what Cat tells everyone. in her life. "Every day I spend so much. energy praying to the angels for their. protection, health and prosperity.". At this point, Cat and her witch coven, just consisting of victims, they're all. living in the single-family home in. Texas. It's Cat, Leticia, she is one of. the main victims, but she has not come. forward with her story, so a lot of it.
is This episode is based on Desiree. because she gives first-hand accounts of. what happened. And then Jessica, which. is a fake name. Jessica leaves halfway. through. So, Jessica is. not there as long as Desiree and Leticia. are there. So, there are four girls. living in there. Yes, and Cat's multiple. pets, a cat, a Bengal cat, like one of. those big cats that look like tigers, or like leopards, a ferret, a rabbit, a. snake, scorpions, small aquatic.
caterpillars, spiders, parakeets and a. dog named Nathaniel. Wow. Yeah, as well as Cat's new husband, Zach, Zachary. Yeah, but it seems like it's mainly Cat. running the house. She will say to. everyone, "I just want you to know that. any of my clients that have not listened. to my voice, they have ended up severely. depressed or facing disastrous. consequences in life." And there's just. something about somebody who is so. confident that you just feel like you. can't argue with them. One former. client, who honestly is probably just.
another victim to the scam, but she says. she paid for a session with Cat and Cat. comes in aggressive. "You're very. insecure." She's like, "Whoa. Okay, I feel like that's rude. I feel. like you shouldn't say that to a paying. customer. I mean, I used my entire. savings for this session. What do you. mean? What do you mean? You're very. insecure and I know this because you. have a very high-pitched voice.". The confidence is what gets the client. Even after the call, she's swinging back. and forth between what the hell is that. about? And also, I guess it kind of makes sense. Like.
maybe she's seeing something that I'm. not seeing and it's just so obvious to. her because she's so in tune with. people. Maybe there's something deeply. profound about this woman. You know what. this reminds me of? This reminds me of. where um someone was reading me my. horoscope. I love my astrology people, I. really do. However, I was absolutely. nodding my head and resonating with. every little thing that they were saying. until it turned out that they were. reading the horoscope for a Virgo and. I'm a Sagittarius, but I was like, "This.
is me. This is me. This is who I am.". Yeah. And I feel it deep in my bones. And again, I love my astrology people. However, in that specific scenario and. with Cat, it's like factually correct. but applicable to many, that's the. situation. But the sheer confidence that. Cat has would probably have me. second-guessing myself. She would tell people to do their. homework, which is to send proof that. they've followed all of her directions. "Write down all your negative thoughts. on a piece of paper, all your negative. thoughts about your life, your future,
your career prospects. Write it down in. a list, fill up the entire page, two. pages, and then flush it down the. toilet." It is like she is an industry. plant for the plumbing industry because. that is not safe. One client, let's call. her Chloe, she is told by Cat to write. down a list of everything she's looking. for in an ideal man, just all the traits. that she wants in her future husband. Chloe listens. One day she meets a man. and he's cute, he's sweet. She's going. down her list, she's checking off nearly. every single box except for one.
But no other guy has gotten this close. to checking off all the boxes. Chloe. doesn't know what to do, so she calls. Cat. "What's the one thing that he does. not check off? Cat is asking her. Chloe's like intelligence. Cat tells her the only way. is to do it. Have intimate relations. with him. and I think it'll be okay. Chloe's like this is kind of strange. I. don't know if that's the right advice. Like how would I know if he's. intelligent by having intimate relations. with him? I feel like it's not adding.
up. Chloe's still booking sessions with. Cat, but side note, she's studying law. and it's been a lifelong dream of hers. and that's the only thing she cares. about in life is her career and Cat. knows this, but during one random. session, Cat tells her, "The voice has. been telling me about you. You need to work as a model. I used to be a model, you know, I know. what I'm talking about and I think you. will do well.". I'm flattered Cat, but like I said, I'm. trying to be a lawyer and pretty serious. about it. No, the voice is telling me that you need to. quit school to pursue modeling. I can't.
see anything for you except making money. using your appearance. The voice only. ever talks to me about your appearance. Cat starts trying to convince Chloe to. drop out of law school, move to the US. with Cat and become a model. Chloe. suspects that this is not a normal life. coach. She cuts off contact with Cat and. within the next few days, Cat tells her, "I will curse you. I will curse your. womb so that you will never be able to. have children in the future ever." It's. very scary. Which is why all of the roommates,
Leticia, Desiree and Jessica, they all. follow the rules of the house. Rule. number one, the law of silence. In this. Texas home, none of the witches, none of. the girls, none of the victims in the. house are allowed to communicate with. each other. They can only talk directly. with Cat. That is it. They are to stay. in their separate rooms unless they are. out doing chores. Another bizarre rule. is that none of the girls are allowed to. talk to anyone outside of the house, which would freak out the neighbors. The. neighbors would wave high and the girls. would just stare at them in silence.
Yeah, needless to say, they thought. there was a cult in there. The neighbor said the whole house was. weird. You know, Zachary, the husband, he's good looking. He rarely ever had a. shirt on, but Cat feels like this is not. enough. She wants a team of assistants. to come from Brazil to the United States. to assist her in. I don't even know what Cat is doing at. this point. She's like aggressively. doing nothing, so I'm not sure exactly. what she needs the support on, but she. starts flying in people to Texas to live. with her in this house. Side note, many.
of the assistants she would bring in are. Brazilian, but they're already based in. the US. Most of them had student visas. They're in college, which if you leave. college, you start working, you lose. your student visa and it becomes a big. immigration nightmare. Technically, you. risk getting deported. Nevertheless, a. lot of women start coming in and trying. to work with Cat because everything. about her seems like she is trying to. nurture other people and grow them into. becoming this very successful woman that. she claims to be.
And when you instantly go to Cat's. house, you have a rude awakening. Everything online, she presents herself. as this very clean, put together woman, but her entire house is disgustingly.
filthy. Cat parades around social media with. this this crazy aesthetic of being. the mascot of Dawn dish soap. Basically, that's what it feels like, but. everything is just filled with grime. She looks like the type to only eat. organic food, eat home cooked meals. Perhaps she's even fully keto, but their. fridge is filthy even though it's empty. It's just really gross and she's just. getting bossed around. These assistants,
they're told that you're going to come. in, learn business building. opportunities, but instead you just get. bossed around to clean toilets. Sometimes you would watch clients come. in for alien baths. Alien what? Alien bath. Uh-huh. It's like ayahuasca, but she puts you in. a lukewarm bathtub filled with. microplastics. She just be sprinkling. Halloween decor. from Party City into the bathtub and she. swirls it around,
gives you ayahuasca and then tries to. convince you to come live with her. And this is not the first time that Cat. hires assistants. Previously, when she. was in New York, she hired assistants. Anna being one of her biggest victims of. this. She was there for 3 months. Cat. would practically torture her. Cat did. not like to do anything alone. If Cat. had to shower, Anna had to be there. If. Cat had to do this, Anna had to be. there. She did not like a moment of. silence. It's like she couldn't even do. adult things, not even a second by. herself. The only time that Anna got a.
moment of rest is when Cat would go out. to the clubs. She would sleep on the. couch that was just covered in cat feces. and urine. The feline, not Cat Torres's. Well, maybe. I don't know, right? It was just. vile. But now, fast forward to Texas, Jessica is the main assistant and she. doesn't want to be there anymore. This. is not what she signed up for, especially because there's a few other. girls living in the house, which she was. introduced to them and she thought that. they were all kind of going to be. assistants, but one day, Cat instructs.
Jessica, "You're going to drive the. other girls to the local strip club.". Jessica refuses. That's just weird. And. then she ends up escaping later on. because she's like, "I feel like. something weird is going to happen. I. just don't have a good feeling about. this." When Desiree gets hired at the. local strip club, the gentlemen's club, she more or less gets bullied into. getting hired by Cat, who tells her that. this is what her voice is telling her to. do. When she gets hired, they ask for. her for her stage name. She blurts out.
the first name that she can think of. Chanel. Great, Chanel. You start today. The. other dancers are over there. The male. manager points to the door at the end of. the long hallway. It's semi-dark in the. hallway. Go change, get ready and hit. the stage. She's wearing this bikini and denim. shorts that Cat lent her. She looks. good, right? But she takes a good look. at herself in the mirror. She takes a. deep breath and she heads towards the. main stage. There's this overly sensual. song that's playing and she's like, "I.
don't think I can do this." She's about. to U-turn, but instead she takes a few. shots of tequila, downs them, heads up. onto the stage. The first song passes. Okay, it's not that bad. The audience is. interested, kind of, right? I mean, she. can't tell. She's so nervous. Then a. second song starts playing. The manager. is in the crowd sternly motioning for. her like, "Remove your top. Remove your. top." She's like, "What? No." She. freezes and the audience, the DJ, the. manager, they start like pumping their. fists in the air encouraging her. She. gives in. She removes her top and she.
tries to black out the rest of the. night. At the end of the night, she's in Cat's. kitchen counting the money that she's. earned and Cat is so excited. "I told. you you could do it. Oh, Desiree, we're. going to be so rich." Cat grabs the. money from her. "I'm going to manage the. funds. I have a safe in my room that I. can lock and you should also leave your. passport in the safe. You don't want one. of the other girls at the club to find. it and figure out your situation.". By situation, Cat is referring to the. fact that Desiree does not have legal.
status to work. She's here on like a. tourist visa and the manager of the club. it took a lot of convincing and almost. begging on Cat's part to get Desiree. hired without papers. She's working. under the table. And Cat gets serious. "Listen, the voice. told me, you and I, we're going to open our. business together and we need funds. Desiree, you're so beautiful. You're. going to find so many men there who. value you like you deserve to be, but. remember, you have to stay alert at all.
times. You cannot trust anyone. Your. light is so bright, it attracts a lot of. that energy. Don't share the details of. your life with anyone. I will give you. an energy bracelet and necklace that's. going to protect you.". Desiree doesn't like it, but she decides. she has to do this because this is what. the voice in Cat's mind told her to do, so it must be true. The next day, Desiree goes to the club. It's like something happened. She gets. up on the stage. It's no longer Desiree. It's Chanel. She's feeling powerful, like she's channeling someone else's. energy. She can almost feel the money.
coming her way. She said she felt like. she was not in her body. Her body is. crawling trying to seduce clients and. she's just letting it happen because. this is what Cat told her to do. This is. the only option she has. She stays till. 5:00 a.m. that morning and that would be. a reoccurring thing, working till 5:00. a.m. Very quickly, Desiree or Chanel. becomes one of the more sought out. dancers. Clients said that they love how. exotic she is. Great. I love humans. But because Cat.
would push her to make more money, Desiree felt like she didn't want to. disappoint her. Unless she did. everything to capitalize on every single. client that comes in. So, to maximize. her potential, she would spend hours. without drinking, not even a sip of. water, without eating anything so that. she doesn't have to use the restroom. When she gets home that night, all the. money goes straight to Cat. In 2 weeks working every waking hour, Desiree makes $9,000. Cat said, "It's just not good enough.
Aim to make a thousand dollars a day. That is the only way to make the. business work. That's what the voice is. telling me. You got to do it.". Every night, Cat convinces her that. rather than working their butts off for. years before achieving their dreams, why. not just work a few months at the club. to get paid the same amount? Just work. harder. She would tell her, "You're. beautiful. You're wasting a million. dollar opportunity by not using your. beauty. Take advantage of what you're. born with. I used to be in Hollywood. Everyone there was once a dancer or. swerker. This is very normal in. America." Desiree didn't really want to.
do this and she's not having a good. time. Every night she comes home. emotionally exhausted, feeling gross. Physically speaking, her legs are. completely swollen. She's anxious. She. feels like there's no way to say no to. Cat. She keeps trying to convince. herself it's just dancing. How many. times have I gone to a party and danced? I'm doing the same thing except this. time I'm getting paid for it. She knows. it's not true, but it helps her feel a. little more brave. If she ever comes. home depressed-looking, Cat massages her. shoulders telling her, "This isn't a. sin.
Don't feel bad. The gods and the angels don't have the. ability to judge. Only humans do. God is. better than that. Besides, it's not supposed to feel easy. and happy. If not, everybody else would. do it and be successful, and you would. no longer be special. It's very. difficult, I know, which is why only 1%. of people succeed. You need to stay. focused, Desiree, with no distractions.". It's unclear if the other victims in the. home were working at clubs. It's likely. that they were, but they have not come. forward themselves to state, but there.
has been evidence pointing to the fact. that they were victimized the same way. Desiree has been, which means not only. is she taking Desiree's money, which is. thousands of dollars a week, but also. other victims. Everyone in the house did. everything that Cat wanted, and Cat and. her husband, Zach, would aggressively. just exist, breathing in oxygen. They. were professional couch potatoes. She. says that she has all these health. problems so she cannot work, and Zach. needs to stay at home to take care of. her full-time. But listen, "One day,".
this is what Cat is telling Desiree, "one day you will not need to worry. about anything. We will work together, focus on our business. We will be rich, and money will never be a problem. again." Which is very easy for Cat to. say when she gets to lay on the couch. all day while Desiree has to go to work. and has to fight to survive, quite. literally. Because Desiree has been. getting a lot of attention with clients. She is one of the most popular dancers. at this specific club. She starts. noticing weird things are happening to. her at work. Once, mysteriously, her.
heel breaks. She almost sprains her. ankle, trips, and breaks her nose on the. stage, almost, but she catches herself. Another time, right before she's about. to get changed, she noticed someone came. and cut up her favorite outfit. The. clients love this outfit. This is her. VIP outfit. Ripped up, shredded in the. dressing room. She's working 15-hour days, drinking. three energy drinks per day, then. alternating with tequila shots to endure. the pain of dancing for hours in tall. heels. She constantly has these bloody.
blisters on her feet. Her legs would. wobble whenever she would walk outside. of work because of the constant cramps. Her back is never not burning from pain. The sunlightless atmosphere and rarely. cleaned air vents in the club, it would. cause her to sneeze so much she had to. get anti-allergy meds and take them. every single day, as well as painkillers. for her sores. Whenever she tried to. bring this up to Cat, she would look at. her quietly, listen to her list of. struggles, and her face would turn cold. "You know, you're spoiled. You're weak. Do you know.
how many spells I had to cast to even. get you hired at this club? Did you. think it was easy? You say you have. faith, but you don't trust the angels. protecting you. You don't trust me. Look. at how your life was before you met me. and how it is now. Look at the abundance. that you've learned from me. Successful. people do whatever it takes to make it. to the top. I thought you wanted this as. badly as I did.". If Desiree would bring up potentially. moving back to Germany, Cat would sigh. "I'm going to be honest with you. I. don't want to scare you, but you keep.
talking about possibly going back to. Berlin, so I need to tell you something. The voice told me that you have a. financial curse in the past life. This. is very serious. Not even witchcraft can. reverse it. You are special, so the. angels are giving you a chance, but for. that, you need to strictly follow my. instructions. You will not go back to. Germany. If you do, you will never. achieve wealth and abundance, and your. opportunity is now or never.". By this point, Desiree is making $1 to. $5,000 per day, working 15-hour days.
Cat is forcing her to hand over all the. money. She only gets $20 a day for food. I will say Desiree is doing the best out. of everyone in the club, but the club. itself is not the best one in the area, and they have a variety of clients. Desiree describes them as emotionally. immature men, unhappy husbands, disillusioned men, businessmen, rappers, lawyers, athletes, and most dangerously, the drug dealers. The drug dealers aren't even here to see. the girls. They're here to make clients. of the girls and the other customers.
It's an hourly thing that the clients. will ask Desiree to do drugs with them. Come on, have fun. She always tells them. no, but that doesn't stop them from. trying to roofie her. She's been roofied. multiple times by clients in the club. that she works at. In the VIP rooms, yes, there are rules. No touching. No touching rules. But she. can count more times that men in there. will still, for whatever reason, I don't. know, mysterious reason, they will start. unbuttoning their pants as if they have. something special in there that other. men do not, which you like, side note,
they don't. They say dancers can also predict the. downturn of an economy faster than. economists. They can gauge how much. disposable income someone has. And right. now is not a good time for the club. The. economy is fine, but the club nearby is. doing drink promotions around the same. time. And at the same time, at this club that. Desiree's at, there's a shooting inside. the club. between two customers, and the girls are. fleeing. They're hiding in the bathroom. Clients are naturally apprehensive about.
coming back for a while, and Desiree is. traumatized. She thought she was going. to die that day. And that weekend, she. still worked because Cat made her. And. instead of making $1,000 for a 15-hour. day, she made $100 because no one's. coming in. Cat threw a chair at her. "You're so stupid. You don't want to. prosper in life. Stop making some stupid. excuse and try harder.". The next day, Cat starts talking to. Desiree about an easier way to make. money. "No blisters on your feet. Are we going to open our business now?".
"No, it's too soon. But you can start. seeing men from the club outside of the. club.". "What?". "Everyone does it. It's normal. No one's. going to judge you for doing what you. need to do to survive. Everybody in. Hollywood starts off as escorts. All the. Oscar-winning actresses, they were all. escorts at one point." With Cat's. exhaustive, nonstop urging, forcing, begging, Desiree finally asks one of the. girls at the club, "You do that? What is. it like?" And she tells her very grimly, "It's fine. The secret is to.
disassociate from yourself. If you can. emotionally disconnect from the. situation and stay in a trance, it's. going to be a lot easier for you.". Desiree has no choice. She's in the US. with no means to get back to Germany. She's nonstop bombarded with emotionally. draining conversations from Cat. She has. no visa status in the US. She has no. power here, and she's fully. indoctrinated. In the book, Desiree. writes she starts convincing herself. because it feels like she has no other. choice. She tries to make it feel like. her own choice. She says, "You're right. I'm Chanel from the club, not Desiree.
It's Chanel that has the confidence. Chanel is walking around like she owns. the place. Chanel is powerful. So why. not let Chanel dominate men and take. their money?" That is how Desiree gets. essentially trafficked. Cat is the. definition of what someone formerly call. a. pimp. I'm not sure if that word is. sensitive or not. They're now known as. traffickers, but I think there's a lot. of discourse online of, "Oh, was Desiree. trafficked because she still went every. single day? She was taking Ubers there.
She was getting taxis to go there." And. if she made $3,000 in cash one day, why. didn't she just use that to buy a plane. ticket to Germany and then leave? But. it's different. This is literally the. same situation. A lot of the times you. hear about men pretending to be in. emotional relationships with women, then. pressuring them into work with promises. of, "This is what we need to buy our. dream house so we can have babies. together and live a normal family life.". Then once they get into the work, they. start blackmailing, extorting, threatening, abusing, and manipulating. the women to continue regardless of.
whether or not they want to. And that's. exactly what's happening. The very first. time Desiree goes to meet with a client. outside the club, they arrange for. $1,000. for the hour, and she says it was she. couldn't stop shaking. She had all these. questions of, "Can I stop when I want? What if the protection breaks and I. catch an uncurable disease? What if the. client is an undercover cop who's going. to arrest me? What if he's a serial. killer and he kills me?" The 60 minutes. felt like an eternity, and by the time. she comes out, she's crying. Does Cat,
the life coach, fill her with so much. spiritual wisdom and guidance, She yells. at Desiree for not getting more clients. Even if she has to lower her rates to. $200 an hour, she should not be a. selfish brat and just do it. Why are you. on a high horse charging $1,000 for an. hour? What are you doing all the other. hours? Cat tries to send her to someone named. Richard who owns a brothel. I mean, he. runs a brothel out of his own house, actually. He's 65 years old. He looks. like a polite little grandpa, and nobody. would ever suspect him of running a. brothel out of his house. I think they.
think it's an Airbnb. The experience was soul-crushing. Desiree begged Cat, "Please, can we just. stop? I feel like we have enough money. now, or I can just go back to dancing at. the club. It's fine." But Cat would. guilt-trip her. It is always the. perfect, draining, so exhausting you. can't even think of a logical reason to. fight back to Cat because she's mentally. exhausted you to the point where you. can't even think. That's what it feels. like. Desiree would see six clients a. day, then take a shower, then head. straight to the club where she would.
dance until 5:00 in the morning, and. then she would do it all over again. Meanwhile, just to emphasize how. insufferable and evil Cat is, she starts. spending Desiree's money on hiring a. personal trainer for her husband, Zach, because she said the angels told her. he's going to be a professional MMA. fighter. that's going to earn millions throughout. his career. In order to do this, Desiree. needs to make $2,000 a day at a minimum. so that they can save up for their. business and also pay for Zach's future.
Cat set up a gym in the house, brought. in a massage chair, brought in personal. trainers, and then encouraged Zach to. get a scorpion tattoo on his chest. because it's going to make him look a. lot more aggressive. The more Zach's. career is not growing but he needs more. training, Desiree has to work harder. Now the new target is $3,000 a day and. the new rule is Desiree is not allowed. to come back home unless she meets her. target for the day. Desiree says there were so many nights. that she would fall asleep on the street. because she did not meet the goal, she's. not allowed back in the house. Some days. she worked 24 hours straight without.
sleeping. But again, if she doesn't meet. the goal, Cat accuses her of being lazy. Months go by, Desiree is trying so hard. to meet these exhausting targets. She's. always tired and she can't even think of. escaping at this point. She says, "At. this point she starts feeling like yeah, this girl does not have my best. intentions, but I'm so mentally drained. I don't even know how to the resistance. to stop this cycle feels impossible.". But by far one of the more egregious. things that Cat does is suddenly she has.
this new plan that Desiree would scam. one of her wealthiest clients. So a lot. of the clients are paying $1,000, $2,000. for the hour. She has this one very. influential client that's paying $15,000. for the hour and tipping her like three, five thousand dollars. Cat's new plan is. Desiree is going to get pregnant by this. man and blackmail him. Cat tells Desiree. to keep having unprotected intimate. times with her top client and then go. take her IUD out, which by the way is so. painful. And Cat is telling her the.
whole way through, "You know my biggest. regret in life is that when I was. modeling, I was around so many. millionaires and I didn't get pregnant. by one of them." Desiree refuses. She's. like, "I'm not going to bring a child. into this world so that I can scam. someone out of money. Are you crazy? That's a little human being that I'm. bringing into the world on this this is. the setup you want?". Cat forces her to go to the hospital to. remove her IUD. The hospital sternly. tells her, "Do not have intimate. relations for the next few days and this.
is going to hurt a lot." It does. It's. so painful. They get home and Cat is. telling her she needs to go back to work. right now. "Are you crazy?" Desiree is. crying in pain. She can't go back to. work. Cat starts screaming at her, "You. are being so selfish, you know that? If. you stop working then everyone in this. house is going to be punished by the. voice.". Desiree goes back to work. Not only. that, she's in severe pain and she. develops a severe infection. It's only. then that the doctor is like, "Hey, so. you really need to like cut it out.
otherwise you can never have intimate. relations ever again. So two weeks you're going to be on. antibiotics.". Cat only let her rest two days before. forcing her to the club and forcing her. to do house chores. She would tell her, "It's all in your. head, the pain.". Yeah, guess what Cat, the voices are all. in your head too. Meanwhile, Cat is just going around. spending so much money on all of these. Halloween decor, honestly, that she's. calling witchcraft. The weekly expense. for quote witchcraft, which is such a. vague bookkeeping label, is around.
$3,000 a week. Cat says this is so necessary to perform. and destroy their enemies. They have to. perform spells. And eventually the. targets keep going up and now the daily. target is $20,000. In one month alone, a really busy month, Desiree made a million dollars. In a month. The next plan was to earn. another million in the next one and a. half months and Cat told her, "Okay, I. promise with this two million dollars.
it'll finally be enough. We'll finally. start our business with a nice emergency. fund. It'll be great." And whilst this. is happening, Cat is fighting all these. other battles. She's constantly fighting. with Zach's dad. So Zach is 19 when they. met. Yeah, Cat is many years older, like over. a decade older, and she has a lot of. scandalous pictures on their Instagram. Zach comes from a very religious family. They end up getting married. Zach is. running away with her and anytime Zach's. father tries to reach out, Cat would.
even post a threat to her own Instagram. saying, "I want you to die. I hope you. listen to this, you understand this. Die. Leave me and my family alone." And. one of Cat's witches, the other victim. in this case, Laetitia, posts online. So. this is all happening while they're. being trafficked. Allegedly Laetitia's. being trafficked, but Desiree, right? I'm here to speak in the name of Cat. Torres because the world is in danger. Cat Torres is in danger. Mark.
Zuckerberg, Vladimir Putin, they need to. find Cat Torres. They need to save the. world from war. If they don't see this. message, the messages posted on this. Instagram account, the world will be. destroyed. So this is another aspect to how they. were likely human trafficked. It seems. like the girls were either so exhausted. and indoctrinated and perhaps sleep. deprived, nutrition deprived, isolated. from everyone, but also maybe they were. undergoing intense ayahuasca sessions.
Cuz in a lot of the videos, Laetitia. does not seem like she's in her right. state of mind. Her family members would. see the videos that Cat is actively. posting onto her Instagram and be like, "What is happening right now?" Cat would. go onto Instagram to talk about how she. can end the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, she states that if every. single person PayPal's her and she can. make $2,500, she will tell the world the secret to. stopping the Russia-Ukraine war. Which I don't know what the correlation. is. Is this like the price for human. life for Cat? It's weird. This was like.
what, 20 like last couple years or. 2022. Wow. When she gets the money, because surprisingly people donated, she. never livestreams about it ever again. Never explains anything. There are. speculations that there's some truth to. everything. A lot of people that knew. Cat think that the ayahuasca melted her. brain. I don't know if that's a good excuse. I. don't know. I've never done ayahuasca so. I don't know how much of your core. values it can genuinely change or if it. just brings out the evil in some people.
that already have it that's just dormant. in their bodies. I have no clue. But. everything she says. there's some. pertinence there that leads back to. ayahuasca. Like there's some truth in. everything but not really. It's like. she's still hallucinating is what a lot. of people say. So for example, she's. saying she knows how to end the. Russia-Ukraine war. Everything she is. saying is absolutely insane. And horse manure is probably worth more. than the information she might have. But. at some point in her life she was dating.
someone that was very close friends with. Vladimir Putin. Allegedly. Even Colburn, her ex-husband, believes. that Cat had been in a relationship with. a Russian oligarch when she first. arrived in New York City. That's how she. was funding her entire lifestyle. She. was not a good model. I'm sorry, she's. beautiful I guess conventionally, not on. the inside. She's living in 123. Washington Street at the W Residences. It's like $8,000 for a basic unit. She's. buying designer bags every single month.
She would go and fly to the most. beautiful resort and just stay there for. weeks at a time. There's no way that she. was funding this with her modeling. career. She also knew, allegedly, very specific. Ukrainian ports that Russia wanted. because it would give them maritime. access to Turkey which would help them. facilitate oil distribution without. passing through other parts of Europe. So it's very oddly specific. It felt. like she must have known who knew the. ins and outs of what the Russian. government.
or well, Putin, was interested in. But. that relationship with the alleged. Russian oligarch fell apart when Cat had. this issue with her left breast. She. insisted it was a flesh-eating bacteria. that was eating away at her chest. Whatever it was, it was a pretty bad. It. was an open wound about 4 inches deep. Most sources state that she did have. surgery, but she claims in her book that. she healed it with the law of. attraction. So I am inclined to believe that she did. have surgery. Now according to Cat's.
roommate at the time, he says, "My understanding was there was. a Russian oligarch that was taking care. of her. He was paying for that. apartment. Then she said that she had a. flesh-eating disease, had to have her. breast removed and reconstructed. Once. she had the surgery, I think most of. those men were gone. It seemed to me. that after she was no longer useful as a. conquest, I think those men, you know, they weren't really there for her. When. the whole I can save the world gets old, Cat has a new message for all of her. followers. "The police of California.
will follow my orders of Mother Mary. By. all means, I'm the queen of the. universe. I'm Magdalena Magdalena Mary. Mary Mary Mary hee hee hee hee to. protect our son son son son. The time. you're not going to kill him, he's the. Messiah Messiah Messiah Messiah Messiah. I'm the Messiah, he's the king king king. king king going to rule rule rule the. world. You guys are going to be. listening to him. He is God himself like. God himself. He is God himself. Did you. all hear me? Did you all hear me? Did. you all hear the message? You dummies do. not touch that man. Has a cross in his arms is written,
"They may lay down on the floor when. Zachary Zachary Men King walk." All of. them with their hands down like this. You're going to lay on the floor in this. position with your hands like this. Hands here where you we can see them. Lay on the floor like that. She's just. laying like on her stomach on the floor. "Feel my body my body my body my body. You're going to lay like this when he. passes you.". Is this like a video to Instagram video? Yeah. And she's clearly on drugs. The only. thing I it's reminiscent of is the um. the pink Uh-huh. Yeah. Cuz she was like pink pink pink.
pink pink and that was the only time I. had seen the repetition of specific. words and sentences and she keeps doing. that. Mhm. He does need to calm himself down. He's. fine fine fine fine fine. He's my. husband husband husband and you listen. to what he says unless he wants to kill. me or or or destroy me or stop me, but. you should not touch him. You should not. touch Zachary Making. You should not. There is a question on. whether or not Zach knew what his wife. was doing. It is presumed, yeah, he. definitely knew, but he likely turned a.
blind eye to it since he's profiting, and why not? That is what Desiree. believes. He's not necessarily. facilitating it, but he's a part of it. He's benefiting from it, and he's acting. like it doesn't exist. He just goes along with Cat's plans. In. one Instagram story, Cat calls Zach on. the phone. So, she's live streaming on. one phone, and then she's call Zach. Zachary, are you listening to me? He responds, yes, I am. You may never. heard the Messiah, Messiah, Messiah Cat. Torres. She's your wife, wife, wife, and.
you must protect her by all means. They're going to kill, kill, kill. They're going to try kill, kill, kill, kill her. You protect her by all means. You're the son of Mother Mary. Your. brother Nathan, Nathan Making, Making, Making, Making are the sons of God. Do. you understand that? They're going to. heal, heal, heal the world, and rule, rule, rule the world in American, American, American by your side, side, side, side, side, side, side, side, side, side, in the name of Mother Mary, and your queen Cat Torres, the Messiah. I'm Jesus Christ. Understand me? I mean, it's weird cuz. if you believe that he's not involved,
that would be a very weird assumption to. make because he thinks that they're all. Messiahs, and the world will bow down to. them, but he doesn't think his wife is a. human trafficker. It's kind of weird. Now, in one video, she's pacing around. the room, and she says, I am the queen. of the universe. I'm Magdalena. And our son is going to be Messiah. She. also states her parents' full government. and says, they gave birth to a girl, aka her, that will save the world by. being married to Zachary. I am Magdalena. from the Bible, the prostitute, the.
prostitute. She was the Messiah. Yeah. Now, this is a completely slightly. unrelated, but further proves that she's. a questionable character. She also would. write about the pandemic. She would. write, I love Corona. Unfortunately, she's not talking about the beer. She. would write, I loved Corona. I wouldn't. take it out of existence for anything. I. was the biggest fan of Corona. I'm just. not a fan of quarantine. For me, everyone had to face the virus with. courage, but they did it like the. cowards they are. Kisses. She would even post on Twitter. completely naked pictures of herself.
with just her private parts censored. out, and it would say the words, I am. against quarantining. And she would. write, disrespect for freedom is the. most heinous thing. We have only been given one right as. humans, to exist as we please. The laws. are already stupid, but now they've. reached their full absurdity. #quarantine never. She also tells people to stop taking. their medications because she will save. them from cancer and all terminal. illnesses, and medicine is a hoax. But then she also turns around and says, she's seen the vision for her life, and.
her new vision is to move back to. Brazil, open up a brothel, hire a bunch. of 14-year-old girls who will serve as. the workers, but also as witches. That's what she said? Yeah. If you were to ever point out how odd. that is, she has a message for her haters. You. will get cancer in your ass. You will. have diarrhea today until your guts fall. out. You're a loser who will never. achieve anything in life. Sometimes. she'll target specific haters and say, I. heard she just had a daughter. I hope.
she's ugly. Specific what? Haters. Oh. Yeah. Huh. Yeah. If she really feels anger. towards someone, she will post online to. her millions of followers, your skull. will be placed in a special place in my. home. She'll also say things like, now, I want. to see if I can make you lose all your. children. It's a lot. Now, at this point, people are just. seeing this online. They don't know that. she is involved in human trafficking and. is going to be arrested on. slavery-related charges. They just know. that she's losing her mind, and they.
think that she's the former girlfriend. of Leonardo DiCaprio. Let's touch on. that real quick. She probably has it out. for Leonardo DiCaprio also at this. point. Cat Torres was first acknowledged by. Hollywood in 2013 when the. ever-reputable peer-reviewed academic. publication The Daily Mail starts. posting pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio in. France at the Con Festival with. thought-provoking titles such as, Leo. out with his new blondie. Leo's new Brazilian girlfriend. And. there's a handful of pictures of Leo at.
the club, and next to him is this very. thin blonde woman with a ponytail. wearing almost no makeup. It seems like. they're on a casual date. The photos are. grainy. They're paparazzi pictures, and. by all accounts, it seems legitimate. In. one picture, they're right next to each. other. In another picture, Leo is. walking in front of the blonde woman, and she's following him, and her hand is. on his back, which seems like a very. intimate way to walk through the club. If you just see the pictures, I'd be. like, okay, yeah, they're dating. They're in a situationship or whatever.
Leo does. That is exactly how people. first hear about Cat Torres, as his new. potential girlfriend. Within 24 hours, people forget her name because it's not. remarkably important. They're like, he. dates so many people. So, it is her in. the photo? Yes. Oh. Now, in the US, people forget about her. In Brazil, the. newspaper Extra goes and does an. interview with Cat, and she neither. confirms nor denies her relationship. with Leo, which I think is indirectly. confirming it. She's being coy. She's. being very smart, even. She's saying, I.
met Leo in Con. We are staying in the. same house during the festival. As for. the photo, I don't know how they even. got those pictures because we had. security all over, and no one could even. get close enough under any. circumstances. Yeah, Leo's incredible, but I worry what. he'll think about me talking to you. guys. We have a pact that nothing can. ever be said about our relationship. And. you know, when we were in Europe, it was. very different. People would see us. together in many places, and they don't. really care. They don't need to ask us. about anything. We're just normal. people. She might as well have said,
Leonardo DiCaprio asked me to marry him. in Vegas tomorrow, and I'm actually. pregnant with his triplets who we will. be naming Leo, Leia, and Leonard. In the same interview, Cat even confirms. she's going to be moving from Paris to. Manhattan. She's like, I'm going to be. moving to New York City, which. everyone's like, wait. Okay, this seems like it's getting. serious with Leonardo DiCaprio, except. none of this is true, not even in the. slightest. What? Cat did indeed rub shoulders with. Leo in France. He claims they never even.
dated. Right after those pictures were. taken, he went to go have dinner with. his girlfriend, another model. Yeah. Which I'm inclined. to believe. There are speculations that. Cat maybe was. an acquaintance of Leonardo DiCaprio, or. even bombarded him at the club, and he. was entertaining her cuz she's pretty, but she hired the paparazzi to take. pictures, Oh. and she neither denied nor confirmed the. relationship, which is basically. confirming it. And it's even confirmed.
that she's the one that called Extra to. do the interview. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that makes sense. That That matches. exactly how she acts. Yes, even the meme. creation, this is all on point. So, she saw Leo at a club, probably, you. know, I would imagine that she even went. to the Con Festival to do this with some. celebrity. I don't know if it would have. been Leonardo DiCaprio, just whoever. celebrity she could find and get in the. vicinity of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Now, near the end. of 2022, a story starts going viral in.
Brazil. There's this Brazilian. influencer luring young women to. America, and then they vanish. The young. women. are kind of missing. They're not connected to each other. It's the strangest thing, and it's even. more bizarre because. you can see videos of them online, but. they're technically missing. The two main missing persons cases that. even mainstream media outlets in Brazil. get involved with are that of. 21-year-old Leticia and 25-year-old. Desiree. Desiree's friends start an. Instagram account for her called.
@searchingdesiree, which is also the. name of her book. They start making. posts in Portuguese, German, because she. was in Germany at one point, and English. asking people to help find Desiree. They didn't see the all the videos? Eventually, they do, but even then, they. feel like Cat is holding her hostage. Mm. So, it goes from she's just missing. to actually, we know where she is. I. mean, not her geographical location, but. we know who she's with, but we need. help. It's actually tricky, you know? It's. very They don't know exactly how to go.
about it. Desiree's family know that. Desiree was doing consultations with. Cat, but last they knew, she was in. Germany, and then eventually, she moved. to Texas because Cat tells her her life. is falling apart, and she needs Desiree. to come help her. Desiree was only. supposed to be in Texas for a month for. her tourist visa. Ends up staying for. much longer than that, essentially being. held captive. As for Leticia, her. parents come out and state that she went. to Brazil on an au pair program. She's. going to.
live with a host family, take care of. their child, do other things, and really. get integrated into American culture. She leaves that au pair host family to. go live with Cat, and she just goes off the grid. The only. time they see her is allegedly holding a. glass of ayahuasca, doing videos talking. about alien baths, where Cat Torres is. throwing in little sparkles and. sprinkles and just. microplastics into the bathtub. It seems like they're drinking ayahuasca.
cuz she seems very out of it. In other. videos, Leticia is seen never smiling, brushing Cat's hair. She seems drunk. She's not behaving normally, and both. families are starting to freak out. And. because. because I think it's an interesting. situation of they're missing, but. they're also caught on this big. influencer's videos, Mm. it goes viral. Yeah. Cat starts posting unhinged things at. this point, which does not help her. case. She says, just so you know, I've. already started talking to all of.
y'all's brains. In a few years, some of. my faithful followers will be living in. the US with me with a green card and. everything. How do I know? Because I'm. going to do it for you, just like I did. it for Leticia and Desiree. They showed. me loyalty, and they deserve their. place. Take a good look at Leticia's. life with American documents and all. I. have the power to get everything I want, but you guys don't want to believe it. yet. Just wait. Wait till my son is the. president of the USA and rules the whole. world, then you will understand. I just. haven't become the president of Brazil. yet because I don't want to. The human.
slaves of the population will be very. nice to me. They will want me to save Brazil. If I. convince myself to do that, then yes, you are talking to the future president. of Brazil. They still don't believe it. Start. investigating my life and you will know. who I am and what I am involved with to. this day. This is her response to everyone saying, "Hey, are you holding these two women. captive?". She starts posting more weird stories. writing, "Dears, my plan is to take. several of my faithful followers and. bring them here to live with me to be.
the owners of the world with me on the. throne, just like I did with Leticia, just like I did with Zack, my husband, just like I did with everybody else.". She goes on to allege that Leticia's. parents were abusive, which everybody. who knows the family denies these. claims. She goes on to claim that. Leticia and Desiree are running away. from their toxic family and friends who. are jealous of them. She says, "I am God. and they are ants compared to me. And I have real pity for these poor, poor people. And believe me, I tried not. to post on here, but it's getting out of.
control. It keeps growing. You did not. make her life, Leticia's mom. I swear to. you, by God, I will finish yours first. And you don't deserve this attention and. you don't deserve anything and there. won't even be anything. Leticia will. never speak to you again and be forced. to tolerate your abuses.". She even forces Leticia and Desiree to. make videos, but it's very clear that. they don't mean anything they say. It. looks like they're being held hostage to. say these things. There was another famous model by the. name of Yasmin who gets involved and she. just comments on one of Cat's posts. like, "Where is Leticia?".
Cat goes off on her. She claims now that. Yasmin actually human trafficked Leticia. and Cat saved Leticia. These are big, crazy allegations. Just. absolutely insane. And eventually, they. all go on the run. They leave Texas. because they've already had one wellness. check by the police and it seems to be. escalating further. The more that. they're accusing other people of human. trafficking, naturally, the case is. going to get bigger. Especially if. they're accusing other high-profile.
people. So, more people are catching on. Interpol is called, the US FBI is. called, everybody's getting called. They. leave their house in Texas. They leave. some food for the pets and they just. walk away. They walk away. They start. driving all the way to Maine, to. Connecticut. They're going all over the. place. And while they're on the run, Desiree and Leticia had profiles on. escort websites. Those hit mainstream. media. And Desiree and Leticia feel like. their lives are falling apart because. Cat told them no one would know about. this. Is it the beginning of the episode?
Yeah. So, she was on a yacht. And she. leaves and they pack up their things and. they go on the run. Cuz all of this is. happening while she's engaged in work. I. see. So, they pack up all their things. They go on the run. And while they're. out there going from state to state, Cat. looks at Desiree and tells her, "Okay, now we need to go to a shop and buy. sunglasses and wigs so you can still. engage in work." The three girls are. eventually arrested, brought in for. questioning. It's very clear to. investigators that Leticia and Desiree. are victims. The speculation circulating.
online that they're being human. trafficked are likely true from the. investigators' standpoint. Just the. based off the way the girls are acting, it's very clear they were victimized. They're distrustful of the authority. They feel like the investigators are. going to arrest them and penalize them. so deeply for prostitution charges. instead of being honest about what Cat. is doing. It actually takes Desiree 49. days in prison to realize that she's. been human trafficked. And it was. because she was walking through the. cells being escorted back to her cell.
and she saw this poster on the side of. the prison wall that said, "Human. trafficking, what are the signs?" It's. like one of those posters you see. Wow. And for some reason, it just clicked. She's like, "Oh my god. I didn't know I was being human. trafficked because I thought I was I was. still going there. It's not like she had. me chained up.". Mhm. I was confused. I thought she had my. best interest. I thought I was doing. this for us. Wow.
Eventually, all three get deported. Cat Torres was in the US on a O1 visa, which means you possess extraordinary. talent. She was a beauty pageant queen, which allegedly she bought the title. She gets to immigrate to the US because. of that. And then for Desiree and. Leticia, they were on tourist visas or. an au pair visa and then they overstayed. their visit. So, all three of them get. deported and Cat is going to be tried in. Brazil. For the girls, none of their. lives have been normal. Leticia has been.
very private. Desiree says for months. she suffered from panic attacks, migraines, insomnia, nightmares. It's. still bad, but writing the book helped. consolidate a lot of her feelings. And. while all her other victims are trying. to rebuild her lives, Cat says she's. innocent. In a recent BBC interview, she. states, "When I was seeing the people. testifying, they were saying so many. lies. So many lies. People are saying. that I am a problem outside, that I can. take the minds of the people and change. them. I am 1 and 1/2 years in jail, in.
real jail with real people that. committed real crimes. We're talking. about people that killed 10 people, 16. people. When I was seeing the people. testifying, just lies. I almost started. laughing. I couldn't stop laughing. I I. believe maybe I'm here for more than 20. days, 10 days because there's no proof. So, there isn't a crime. There's no. way.". Then why would the judge be keeping you. in prison if you don't deserve to be. here? Because the people are saying that. I am the problem outside. I take the. minds of the people. People are saying. I'm a fake guru. But at the same time, they're saying that I'm so real, I'm so.
dangerous that I can take his mind or. whoever's mind and change his mind. You. know, I have a voice that spoke with me. and my whole life I would tell people, "Oh, so the voice is saying this to you, saying this to you, saying that to you.". And the voice will be saying this and. people will just bend down to me and be. like, "Oh my god, give me some advice, please." Like this very rich, very. powerful people. You choose to believe. whatever you choose to believe. I can. tell you I'm Jesus and you can see Jesus. or you can see the devil. That's it. And then she just keeps rambling. So, there are people who are born with no. talents and then there are people born. with all talents. I think that is me.
Okay, nobody asked. I used to sing in. California, so people want me to sing. I. have so many people talking to me, "What. should I do? Where should I go?" Fame. will catch me wherever I am. And what I. want and need is justice. I don't. deserve to be here. I don't deserve to. be here, not even one day in my life. Cat even writes a letter to the public. and it reads, "I think a lot about those. who are already weak and become even. worse seeing their idol, me, being. imprisoned, especially so unjustly.". Yeah.
So, she just rambles on and on. She has. ultimately been sentenced to 8 years for. human trafficking, international human. trafficking and slavery charges in. Brazil. Which, I mean, 8 years is too little. Mhm. There are questions of whether or. not Zack was involved and should be. should be charged as well cuz he is a US. citizen. So, I mean, okay, technically, it was like a jurisdiction thing. A lot. of her victims were Brazilian citizens. and Cat was Brazilian, so she was sent. to Brazil. But he's been off the radar.
There's actually a Charlie Project. Missing Persons Report on Zack. It's unclear if he's actually missing or. if that's just to make it seem like he's. missing and he's laying low. The last. people heard of him publicly, he was. trying to set up a GoFundMe so that he. could visit Cat in Brazil in prison. So. Wow. He could be in Brazil for all we know. I. don't know. A lot of people just think this is one. of the crazier cases. I think that when. I was watching even the BBC documentary,
I didn't know, I mean, I knew how bad it. was considering what she was convicted. of. But reading Desiree's book that our. Portuguese-speaking translators were. able to translate for me, the way she did it is a lot more. insidious than people believe. It just seems. the meticulous thought that went into. all of it, the way that she I was. emotionally exhausted reading what Cat. was saying to Desiree. Mhm. I can't imagine witnessing and.
experiencing it. I just It makes sense. But that is the case of Cat Torres. What. are your thoughts? Let me know in the. comments and I will see you guys in the. next one. Stay safe.
