Gone Girl IRL Sherri Papini Will Plead Guilty To Faking Her Own Kidnapping -- DETAILS!
perezhilton.comAfter five long years, Sherri Papini is finally revealing the truth about her faux kidnapping. As you may recall, the 39-year-old mother from rural Redding, California claimed she was kidnapped by “two Hispanic women” who were armed while she was on a jog in 2016.
