And a surprising number of influencers believe that Lindsay’s ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, is responsible for the deaths of the three young victims.
To be clear, Lindsay admitted to killing her children, and her defense team’s argument is that she’s not criminally liable as she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time.
No one is alleging that Patrick killed the children — aside from unhinged influencers, many of whom are quite insistent on that fact.

Now, internet weirdos exploiting a tragedy is obviously nothing new.
But the continued insistence that Patrick committed murder despite a total lack of evidence is a different level of ghoulish depravity than we’re accustomed to.
And now, many are wondering if Patrick will file lawsuits against the TikTokers and YouTube sleuths who are racking up clicks by slandering his name.
Obviously, Patrick — who divorced Lindsay following the deaths of their children and has since remarried — is currently focused on his ex-wife’s murder trial.
But once a verdict is reached, he may turn his attention toward taking civil action against his accusers.
“Alright, he did it! Patrick did it. Patrick’s the one who did it,” Lisa said on camera.
Lisa’s conclusion was based on some very questionable reasoning — namely, that female murderer rarely strangle their victims and generally favor less violent methods like poisoning.
“I also heard that women typically don’t strangle … that’s awful to even say,” she said. “But that isn’t what a woman would do. They don’t strangle.”
And believe it or not, Lisa’s shocking rhetoric is downright tame compared to the claims some content creators are making about Patrick.
It’s anyone’s guess why so many individuals might have arrived at the same baseless conclusion.
Probably a combination of factors is at play here:
It’s difficult to imagine a mother committing such a heinous act; true crime documentaries and podcasts have conditioned us to anticipate twist endings; online echo chambers can lead to a self-reinforcing feedback loop of misinformation.
But the fact remains that a shockingly large number of social media users seem to be getting a tremendous amount of joy out of rubber-necking a tragedy and making a horrific situation even worse for everyone involved.
Will Patrick sue? That remains to be seen.
But whatever the case, the growing army of self-proclaimed homicide detectives should probably spend some time investigating their own motives instead of those of their imagined perps.
“Fame changes you” takes on a new meaning with Ella Langley.
It wasn’t that long ago that the Country music star was relatively unknown, recording herself preparing for her day.
Those GRWM videos didn’t go away.
And if she hadn’t posted them herself, many would have no idea that it was Langley.

Is that really Ella Langley?
In 2024, Ella Langley’s debut studio album, Hungover, catapulted her into a world of Country music success.
About a year later, the release of “Choosin’ Texas” — the lead single from her 2026 album, Dandelion — took off like wildfire within the Country world, making her a star.
Back in 2022, she was doing music. But, at the time, she was still an up-and-coming musician, opening for other artists.
In resurfaced TikTok videos, Langley does get-ready-with-me videos discussing her makeup and styling.
Suffice it to say that everything, from her hair to her clothing to even how she styles her face, look wildly different when compared with the singer fans know and love today.
Here and now, 27-year-old Langley has iconic bangs and a full-glam makeup look.
On stage, she wears bedazzled outfits.
Whether they’re white or black, covering her body or showing some skin, we tend to only see the “finished product.”
Seeing how she looked just a few years ago, fans were astonished at her down-to-earth vibes.
Part of the difference is just transitioning from early twenties to late twenties. But part of it is just the effect that money and fame so often has upon performers and their sense of style.
As recently as last month, Ella Langley was very openly discussing her major makeover.
“Growing up in Alabama, I was a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl,” she told Good Morning America.
“My style has definitely evolved over the years, and fashion has become a way I love to express myself both on and off stage.”
Langley characterized her current aesthetic as “a mix of Western, bohemian, and a little edgy.”
In a moment of stark relatability, Langley did emphasize that “comfort is always important” no matter what her sense of style.
That applied as much in 2022 when she was wearing an oversized t-shirt and no bra to do her makeup as it does now as she rocks full glam and sequined costumes.
2024 is when she first adopted her more stylized appearance.
It looks good on her!
Fans are continuing to digest how much her vibe has evolved since she was an opening act. And some acknowledged that they simply wouldn’t have recognized her had the old videos not come from the same account.

An active cruise-dock management bid in Haines is just one Alaska venture for now-familiar Global Ports Holding. The company’s other regional business could give it the means, and incentive, some say, to bring more passengers to Haines.
After a contentious Tuesday Lutak Dock meeting, there’s still no explanation for why project costs have skyrocketed, and bonding looks a likely future. Even so, the borough’s contracted engineers now say talk of the borough losing grant funding, or otherwise running out of time, is “not credible.”
Over the last two weeks, Moffatt & Nichol has revealed to borough officials that it has been unable to cut costs on…
