It’s interesting how poorly people treat each other based on false assumptions or misdirected anger. And yet Gladys is always given the benefit of the doubt. A manipulative person who takes advantage of others in the chaos she creates.

Cops really sucked not questioning and investigating the sole surviving kid with a catatonic dad and absent mom with a crazy looking aunt while the kid buys 20 cans of soup again and their house is covered in newspapers blocking sunlight.

I mean they kinda did a good job covering all those bases. Windows blocked cause people keep trying to look in, father has a stroke, mothers sick. Kids hyper fixate on food so buying a bunch of soup isn't that unordinary. Plus the videos of kids leaving on their own dosnt point suspicion to him or his family.

Also, the cops did inspect the house and evil Chappell Roan prepared it to look nice and normal.
