It's fascinating to watch people confess they fell for a viral video star who became famous purely by chance, and whose fall from grace was immediate and horrific. Most of all, the murder Kai commits is so sketchily explained I'm still somewhat confused about it, and had to turn to other online news sources for details.īut once the show starts running, it's impossible to turn it off. ![]() There are suggestions Kai caused the original attack by giving Jett McBride drugs before the intentional car crash. There are claims Kai was abused as a child, but his mother gives an interview where she tells a different story that's not really addressed.
