The Digest:
Mirabel, the woman whose viral video alleging rape by a stranger sparked nationwide outrage, has confessed that the story was fabricated. In a phone call with social media activist Verydarkman, Mirabel admitted, "The story about a stranger raping me isn't true. On a normal day, I cut myself. I have panic attacks, and I engage in self-harm to cope." She explained she created the false account because she "felt overwhelmed and just wanted to end everything," adding that she has been suicidal. Mirabel also disclosed she is a lesbian and has no siblings, only friends. When asked directly if the rape story was untrue, she responded: "I have been s¥icidal and I have just wanted to end it all. Yes, sir." Her confession has sparked intense debate about mental health, false allegations, and the impact on genuine rape victims.
Key Points:
- The confession undermines trust in genuine sexual assault survivors and fuels victim-blaming narratives.
- It highlights the urgent need for mental health intervention and support systems.
- False accusers face backlash, while real victims may face increased skepticism.
- This signals the dangerous consequences of fabricated stories on social justice movements.
- The timing, after nationwide outrage, complicates the conversation on rape and mental health.
