I think what’s the funniest (weirdest) thing about this is if he put the amount of work he put into lying about being a doctor into actually being a doctor-or literally anything else-he could have lived a normal life.
I was thinking the same. He even made it a point to study medical textbooks and journals so he could keep up the lie. Like dude just go finish med school, and be a doctor
Never apologize for a long story. You’re Bailey Freakin’ Sarian! This one was wild. That dude had time to do all the things. My deepest sympathies for your loss.
The fact that he would stand outside of the classrooms for that long and be able to recite everything he might as well have just gone to school I mean, that is the craziest part of this story to me
RIGHT I was doing a puzzle online and had to stop because I was so confused at what I was hearing. Like.. you stood outside the class.. for 12 years.. who tf
My dog passed and I ended up in the ER that evening. I was embarrassed being there for a anxiety attack. The doctor told me he cried more when his dog died than when his dad did. Made me feel better. I still miss her every day. Hope knowing you’re not alone helps ❤
Pls don't ever be ashamed of grieving when a pet dies they are so much more than just animals. They are part of the family just as much as a human member. They give us so much including unconditional love! And if anyone gives you a hard time or looks down on you for it that tells you what kind of person they are and their feelings or lack there of don't matter. Hang in there it's so hard but as with all passing of loved ones it does get better with time. Yr in my thoughts and prayers.
@@blessedsinner8686so true.. my girl died 2yrs ago, and i couldn't feel my face that week. I felt so numb!!! Sadly i also felt ashamed that i was grieving (mostly because I've always been given grief about feeling for our pets, including that time). But the moment i got past that, I cherish her openly to date.. yet i always feel so bad when someone loses their pet...
I’ve buried all of my grand parents and not shed a tear. When I had to put my dog down, I cried for months in advance, the day of and for years after. 💜 🐾 💜
We don't add life sentences to other ones because, just in a very logical way, you only have one life. Our justice systems/logics aren't really comparable
literally as I thought to myself "how did he afford his life when he had no job??" you were like "like me you may be wondering, how did he afford all this?" 😂
and he scammed his well-off friends and extended family to do “exclusive investments opportunities” too lord have mercyyyy (collected 1.5 million francs = 1.6 million US dollars)
Who else stopped everything for this video?? 😂😂😂😁 Edit: thanks for all the love! I really do feel like we are all family here and we all connect through our love for Bailey!! She truly is a star! I hope she knows how many people adore her! ♥️♥️
My 4 children and I lost my husband Saturday afternoon. He was only 41 and I can’t tell you how hard it has already been . Thank you for this so so much Bailey, it is a welcome and appreciated distraction from the worst game of Clue I’ve ever played! Much love and well wishes to you and whoever else is dealing with a devastating loss ❤❤❤
Wow, that's so awful. You poor thing 😢 you must be such a brave person to be able to come here and comfort Bailey at what must be the worst moment of your life. Sending all the love ❤
I found Bailey when my adult son was killed four years ago. When I couldn’t eat or sleep. She is a soothing remedy for deep pain...she’s gifted and obviously loved 🥰😔🙏 I’m sooo sorry for the loss of your husband..there are no words just cyber hugs..I hope you and your baby’s will find ways to cope with this. Four years in I’m just beginning to normalize somewhat. But it’s still fresh in my mind, I have to live life around the pain of not having him here. That’s what it comes down to for me anyway ❤ takes time.
Welcome back Bailey. Please don’t hesitate to take more time off if you need it. Grief and healing have no time limit, and it comes in wave. We are here to support you in whatever you need!! 💜 Love you B
As a french girl myself, I can confirm that having a mistress or cheat is very frowned upon for the majority of french people ! Take care of yourself Bailey, and « Merci » for all the efforts you put out for these videos ! ❤
That’s funny because a French woman cheated with my dad who was married at the time. And she boasted about it and still to this day. So it’s clearly not frown upon. If you can’t tell, I dislike the women for the hurt she did to me and important people in my life. 😅
I’ve also heard the majority of people outside the US (especially in Italy) think US women are “easy”. Generalizations for any culture not our own are ignorant.
Hi Bailey! French girl coming from Prévessin here! First, I wanted to thank you for covering this story (and you nailed the pronunciation of Prévessin-Moëns😉) I used to pass by that house every day on my way to middle school, people actually still live in it, which always baffled me, tbh 😅 And also, cheating is a big deal here, too I know it's a recurrent stereotype about us, and I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but we don't condone it :) As for whereabouts, he's apparently still in the monastery :)
Monastery actually makes sense- I was thinking I bet prison was actually weirdly freeing for him in some ways, bc before he got incarcerated, the lack of externally-sourced structure had kinda given him the rope to hang himself, only the rope was made out of all those lies he wove, to create his fake life
Crazy to imagine what his life would have been like if he just put the same amount of effort into achieving something that he did lying about those achievements. Truly a lazy and evil person.
Thank you Bailey for being a friend when I was alone in my dorm in covid pandemic, I couldn't go anywhere, couldn't see anyone, but I discovered you and you were there for me every day❤️
She's what got me into true crime, and the reason I even started watching RU-vid religiously 😅 Definitely helped through covid and helps me still, though I find it sad that women are statistically more likely to watch this... just so we know things when they're sus.
It is, I did this for a month. Ashamed to tell bf I got fired, he who worked from home was always there so every morning I would wake ex early full face makeup iron my office clothes and disappear out the door. I would then sit in a coffee shop until the library opened and then go there all day every day reading 😂.... Longest, embarrassing and most exhausting month of my life.
The bond between you and saint was so precious. I’m so sorry for your loss. Take your time and please be kind to yourself throughout the process. Sending all my love ❤️
I'm so sorry about Saint, Bailey. I lost my soul pet 2.5 years ago and I still miss her everyday 💔 I had her 14.5 years and I don't think I'll ever get over her.
I'm there as well, I had to give up my soul pupper because of housing situations during covid. I cry still everyday, she was the only thing in this world that could make me feel better when I had a bad day and now I need her more than ever simply because she's not here. I cried for Bailey when I saw that Saint had past over the rainbow bridge. So so terribly sorry for ur loss Bailey Sarian
Have you ever heard of the term soul pet ❤ but have always said my pitbull Sadie was my soulmate 💙💙💙 I picked her out when she was only two days old,got her at 6 weeks and she was my best friend till the day she died in May 2012. She had just turned 14 that April 13th and was by far the best friend I've ever had ❤ I'm sorry for your loss @Bailey 💙
Mad to me that this man literally confessed to lying and manipulating people into thinking he was a trustworthy person for years... and the prison's like "yeah we trust him, he can go now"
Losing a pet is so hard. I cannot imagine having to part with either one of my boys. Bailey, never feel bad for taking the time to grieve. It’s hard losing a pet. It’s like losing family. And you’re valid in feeling your grief. Take as much time as you need. We will still be here to love and support you. No matter what.
I think this story shows how the deeper you get in lie after lie, can literally drive you insane. Towards the end of the story, it's like he can't admit to reality in any consistent way!
Bailey’s MMM is one of the only reasons Monday is tolerable 😂. Side note: losing someone is never easy, especially when you love them so much. I’m sorry for your loss.
My best friend dated a pathological liar for a short time and we STILL wonder about what ever happened to that d!ck and who else we might know who lies like he lied
What's most depressing about this case is how many people trusted him with basically their entire lives. They loved and trusted him and he just took advantage of that. What a great and thorough video! also PS: as a french person, cheating is definitely not considered normal here haha
I kept thinking how awful it would be to never be able to trust anyone enough to turn my back on them. Let alone my own son, husband, or FATHER. Utterly terrifying 😢
I’m French and can assure you it’s most definitely not a ‘normal’ thing to cheat on your partner anymore 😂I think amongst older generations it wasn’t uncommon but that’s more to do with patriarchal and sexist ‘values’ that meant it was normalised for men to have lovers - doesn’t mean it wasn’t a big deal for their wives. But these days it’s definitely not the done thing.
@@ItIsWhatItIs8120sadly that’s only true for the ones of you who are of the older generation because especially gen z and millennials have the unfortunate experience of dealing with these men who don’t know how to treat a woman properly, especially in America
It’s wild that she didn’t even want to be with him, and he forced the situation just to end it this way. Sickoooooo!! So sorry for your loss! Take care of yourself ❤️
As a recovering addict (coming up on my 10 year sober anniversary thid november 💅), I can absolutely confirm that lying regularly to everyone around you is just a stressful, exhausting, horrible life. It becomes harder to continue to remember all the lies you told and to which people as time goes on. You're in a constant fear of everything crashing down. And, for me anyway, the guilt is the worst part of all. The guilt slowly eats you alive. At this point in my life I honestly cant even tell little fibs like the thought of lying and having to keep up with that lie makes me physically feel sick. Living an entire life thats a lie.. thats enough to drive anyone crazy.
Congratulations on your upcoming "soberversary!"😊 I celebrated 10 years myself back in March. You are so correct about the lies, lying, etc. I once had a counselor say that most addicts/alcoholics are inherently very honest and generally more sensitive than the average person. And that's why being dishonest bothers us so much. Who knows, though...it's a theory. 🤷🏻♀️😁
10 years!!! That’s a decade. You don’t know me but I am so proud of you. I am also in recovery. Will be celebrating 6 years October 4th! And I agree. I don’t miss lying. And I would get my lies mixed up. 😅 so happy to be on the other side. Recovery is possible as long as you got air in your lungs and a pulse!
This is WILD. It seemed like he had every tool to be successful and then just decided to lie instead of put in the work. RIP to all the lives lost because of him 😔
Sending condolences to you, we just lost our family dog of 17 years. It's never easy to lose anything or anyone. You aren't alone. We ALL appreciate you continuing to be you. Love ❤and Light 🕯️.
It disturbs me so much that he would just sit there. Like this whole elaborate lie and for what? To just… sit? I find it less creepy when people have another life they’re hiding.
really, if it was bodies and blood bothering so much, could've gotten degree and worked in research or for CDC. So many doctors not seeing patients. Or a clinical psychiatrist or something. Almost any plan was better vs wasting 25+ years pretending and doin naught but lie.
Bailey, my 14 year old dog just passed last week and it has been the most painful thing I’ve ever had to deal with. Thank you for posting, I admire your strength. I know it’s hard to continue after the grieving process, but you inspire me to keep on going with my responsibilities and daily tasks. Thanks for the distraction, I hope you are dealing with your pups loss okay 🥺💕
My dog is still fine and healthy, but I just lost my cat a few weeks ago. I’m 28 and had him since I was 11/12. I understand you, it’s seriously the most difficult loss I’ve had to deal with. I still cry literally every night about him, hoping he’ll show up outside the door wanting to come inside. I can’t even take away his food or his bowls. I still have a routine on opening the door several times at night because I used to let him in and out, and I always expect to find him at his favorite spots. It’s so difficult to deal with. I’m so so sorry for your loss ❤️❤️
We lost three of our cats within a year last year, tomorrow is the anniversary of the last and most sudden. It's ABSOLUTELY one of the hardest things to deal with.. People are hard too, of course, but something about our pets and animals being so innocent (even when they're naughty) is way harder... Praying for strength for everyone who's ever endured the loss, and here's to hoping the rainbow bridge is real 🙏
@@RandallBalls I felt so reassured and kinda relieved reading your comments. I lost my cat a few weeks ago, I’m 28 and had him since I was 11 so we were super close, and I have never lost a pet before, since he was my first pet (my dog is only 8 years old, so she will stick around for a while ♥️), and I was afraid something was wrong with me because it was way harder for me to lose him than it has been to lose humans in my life. I think it’s because they depend on us so much. But hearing you say that it was different for you too to lose pets vs losing humans was so reassuring. Thank you. I’m so incredibly sorry you lost your cats, I really can’t imagine the pain of losing several pets in a year. It must be so heartbreaking. I don’t really know what to say, because there’s really nothing to say to make it easier, at least that’s how it’s been for me, but my thoughts are with you. And thank you again, I don’t feel like something is wrong with me anymore. Also, I’ve never believed in heaven or anything, but I swear if the rainbow bridge and a pet heaven doesn’t exist Imma throw hands, because our pets deserve it
So sorry for your loss. My old guy is 14 goin on 15 and I know he likely doesn’t have much time left because he’s slowed down quite a bit this last year. At least I know when he goes he will have some company up there.
Jean Claude Romand ! I live in the same area his family did. This story is bonkers, it really shocked my country back then. Anyway, thank you for your work Bailey, kisses from France 🇫🇷 💙
I’ve lived in this little town on the Geneva border since I was 8 years old. Prévessin-Moëns, just a tiny little town in the pays de Gex. Thought this was an urban legend kids talked about at school until BAILEY SARIAN drops a video about it 😮
Bailey, I’m so very sorry for your loss. We just lost my beloved father-in-law last week, so I know all too well what it’s like to grieve but also try to live your life. It’s HARD! I’m praying for peace and comfort for you. Like many others are saying, please take care of you and allow yourself space to grieve. ❤
I just lost someone very suddenly a few days ago and I’m so sorry you are grieving, taking time for you and your family during this time is more important than any video or story. Stay safe!!!
If the end result weren’t so tragic, Jean-Claude’s naïveté at thinking he could weave this complicated of a web of lies really gives little kid vibes of, “If I squint and cover the sun with my thumb, then _it’s_ night for everyone!”
i REALLY want to know what a 3-way cage match between legion, romand, and john list would look like 😭 it would probably be SO awkward omfg. like a train wreck you can't look away from
Bailey, you should cover the story about the father who kept his daughter in basement for two decades. And she birthed 7 of his kids while imprisoned by him. It's a crazy story.
The first true crime story I ever heard. Absolutely mind blowing.. I can’t imagine what she and the kids went through and for him to be such a SICK person!
I really wish people like this actually would just off themselves and nobody else. I'll never understand why they think any of these innocent people and children have to pay for the mistakes of someone else. All this "shame" is his, nobody else's. I really am sorry for your loss Bailey. Take all the time you need to process it ❤
Im sorry for your loss Bailey. I lost my soultmate in 2019. Going on 5 years and i still talk about him every single day. Take all the time you need. Take care of yourself ❤
I was drugged many times as a teen by a family member, and hearing you say the son thought his drink tasted funny and got shot for not drinking it made me realize, to just be thankful everyday im still here bec wow. I said those exact words, refused the drink and all.... Yet i was fortunate enough to walk away
It's so unfair and wrong that so many of us experienced trauma at home or a place that shoulda been safe, that the trauma that's imprinted on us and helps form who we are comes from hands that shoulda molded us in such a different way, should have hugged us reassured us and protected against those like themselves. I hope your journey has been healing and peaceful❤
With all this work Jean put into a lie, it honestly would have ended up much easier for him to actually go through medical school and take the exams 🤦♀️
After mentioning his mom's resemblance to Mrs. Doubtfire, when you said he got a call from her and showed her picture, in my head I could hear Robin Williams' voice saying, "Hellooo", as that character.
This was my first Bailey Sarian video. I’ve heard about her for a while, and idk why I decided today I would watch her or pick this specific video, but I think I was meant to. My dog passed today, and to read these comments and see that at the time of this video Bailey was going through something similar to what I’m feeling now, makes me feel less alone.
Never clicked so quick! My Mondays have been lost without MMM 😭 Thank you for making my Mondays so much better Bailey 💞 Much love from North Wales 🏴
In the 70’s, my dad did that to my mom. Said he had a job and even left each day pretending to go to work. But didn’t work out when no money was coming in. 🙄 People are ridiculous sometimes!
I'm sorry for your loss. Me and my cat Midnight sends our love and condolences. I'm 32 with Autism and Down syndrome and my cat is 3 years old this month.
My deepest condolences. It’s so very difficult but you are very brave and I thank you for the hours of fun we, your audience, have and do enjoy! Take care of yourself, your audience will still be here for you❤
Awe, Bailey, I’m sorry for your loss. While I missed you and I’m sure everyone else did, never apologize for taking time. Take all the time you need. We aren’t going anywhere. ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss! As much as we love you, never apologize for taking a step back for your if that’s what you’re needing! We’ll be here whenever you post
Her face looks ALOT fuller , or ‘different’ to me .. idk if It’s a congratulations I should be giving cause I noticed the look I came to the comments to see if anybody else did
Quick apart from a French girl: cheating is very much frowned upon here as well! It's a stereotype that we're cool with it. If my partner were to cheat on me we'd be done, and I wouldn't think of taking a lover in a million years!
That’s very funny because a French woman cheated with my dad who was married at the time. And she boasted about it and still to this day. So it’s clearly not frown upon. If you can’t tell, I dislike the women for the hurt she did to me and important people in my life. Not close to my dad cause of this. 😅
I am always amazed when I hear stories of people who can live a life of lies for so many years without slipping up and getting caught. I know I could never pull something like that off. Just the thought of keeping so many lies consistent and the constant worry that people would find out stress me out. It also weird that there are so many people that do stuff like that.
My house, camper, and Jeep burned down two weeks ago. So my life has gone up in flames, literally. Girrrrrl, you dropping this video gives me the energy to rise from the ashes like a phoenix, babyyyy. Thank you.
Im so sorry, that has to be devastating!! I was crying over losing my phone this past weekend, welp, that puts things into perspective!! I hope things get better for you asap!! I cant even imagine!! ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was just telling my husband tonight before watching this video that you had had some time off and was complaining a bit that I didn't know why. Coincidentally, I experienced a big loss during the same time frame and I have been entirely incapable of leading my normal life for weeks. So I feel terrible having complained about your absence during this time as I really couldn't relate more. Congrats on the new place and your ever-growing career. And I hope you're starting to feel a little better now. ❤
This story is so similar to another French family annihilator, Xavier Du Pont de Ligonnes. Which is another wild story. Bailey, you always do such amazing job with all the stories
@@LuzMaria95Let's hope that if she does that case, it'll be because we found the guy and the case is closed... But I don't see that coming anytime soon unfortunately...
I’ve had such a horrible two weeks but having Bailey back makes me so happy, I’m really sorry for her loss, and am glad she took the time to grieve. ❤ Love you Bailey!!
I am sorry for your loss but I’m also so proud of you for taking a break, knowing when you need to take a break and making sure to remind us all that you are a real human with emotions and a real life. We appreciate you so much Bailey!
The work he put into his fake life is mind blowing! And to destroy the lives of that many people over a fake career and lying. I can’t even. I’m almost equally as blown away by the fact that he’s not even in prison!!
So sorry to hear about the loss of Saint!! We recently lost our dog, she was 12 and she was an angel. Now our pups our watching over us. Nothing but positivity and love your way! ❤
I was a long-term care (LTC) nurse for 10 years, and there are so many intelligent ppl that get dementia. I've never heard that dementia affects smarter ppl less or more than anyone else. I worked alongside folks with dementia every shift, and the only commonality that I've noticed is that people who played musical instruments prior to their diagnosis, can still play those instruments at the same skill level even during later stages of cognitive decline! We had a man with an accordion that would play for all of the residents and staff every evening after supper! This man was not able to recognize his own kids, but he could play accordion perfectly! There was also a non-verbal lady who was a pianist/ piano teacher prior to her diagnosis, and she could play so many songs perfectly!
I found you just a few weeks before I lost my dad. That trauma was just the beginning of what was to come that year. (2020) As alone as I was, you were such a comfort. Your dumb jokes and your smile help people in ways you can't imagine. I hope you're OK. You got this.
Bailey you really are the most pure creator on this platform. Watching your videos is like having a catch up with one of your friends, thank you for always giving us amazing content
I admit I have missed MMM Mondays but also understand the need to take care of yourself. Hope you're healing ❤️ This was a crazy story and a really bizarre ending. Jean-Claude doesn't need to be roaming around anywhere, in my opinion. Yes, I love the new set. Perfect
Hugs. Love the new space. My favorite thing about your channel is your personality. You are real. You admit you can't pronounce stuff, you don't edit out every little thing, you have an opinion!!! Thanks for sharing your personality with us.
Bailey, please do something on the Irish famine, or the mother and baby homes in ireland. I feel like your platform could really help in spreading awareness of these disgusting crimes! Also madame lalaurie would be amazing
I am so sorry for your loss! Losing a furbaby is one of the hardest things to go through. You do what you need to do to take care of yourself. We're always here for you! 🫶
The hilarity of talking about killers wilts having "love and pies" as a sponsor is not lost on me. Also, sorry for your loss, Saint looked like a loving and sweet soul ❤ Stay strong
