In her new book, the daughter of the YouTube star sentenced to prison for child abuse claims the pair “condemned queerness very publicly in their ConneXions videos, while embodying it privately. In my room. On my bed, most likely.”
Shari Franke, the daughter of former family influencer and 8Passengers vlogger Ruby Franke , is opening up about her childhood — and her mom’s curious relationship with “mentor” Jodi Hildebrandt — in a new book.
Both Franke and Hildebrandt were sentenced to up to 60 years each in prison earlier this year in Utah. Both women were arrested in August 2023 on child abuse charges relating to Franke’s children.
In Shari’s new book, The House of My Mother: A Daughter’s Quest for Freedom , she claims Hildebrandt moved into the family home in 2022 — with her mother saying Jodi’s soul was “under siege from Satan himself.” Per Shari, Jodi took “up residence in my bedroom” while she was “relegated to the couch downstairs.”
