Director of Netflix doc reveals what she really thinks of mom who anonymously bullied her teen daughter online for a year

The director of Unknown Number: The High School Catfish has shared her thoughts on the mom who bullied her own daughter.

The documentary landed on Netflix on August 29 and has garnered worldwide attention, having already racked up 13,600,000 views on the streaming platform, per FilxPatrol.

The programme looks at Lauryn Licari and her former boyfriend who were harassed online for 12 months by an unknown number.

The authorities got involved in the case and discovered who it was who had been giving Lauryn abuse online — her own mother.

The FBI traced the IP addresses of the messages back to her mom Kendra Licari, despite the fact she'd used virtual private networks (VPNs) to hide her location.

Ultimately, Kendra was arrested and charged with multiple counts of stalking and using a computer to commit a crime.

Now, the director of the doc, Skye Borgman has shared her own thoughts on Kendra and if what she said in the documentary who was truthful or not.

Kendra was interviewed for five hours as part of the show.

Borgman told PEOPLE: "I think it was important to me to get Kendra's perspective out there, and it was more important to get the kids' perspective out there, but to hear from her and to hear what her answers are was something that I felt was really beneficial to the documentary.

"Weighing whether or not those things are true or not, I can't really judge that 100 per cent."

Apparently, Kendra repeated herself a lot in the hours-long interview and not everything she said made it into the final cut.

"I felt like the clearest answers that she gave to things were what eventually made it into the documentary," Borgman said of the edits she chose to include of Kendra's interview.

All in all, Borgman doesn't think Kendra really knows why she did what she did.

Speaking on the You Can’t Make This Up podcast per TUDUM, Borgman shared: "I don’t know that she really knows why she did it."

She added: "[Kendra] does mention in the documentary an assault that happened [to her] when she was right around Lauryn’s age.

"She talks about how scary that was for her to see her only child, her little girl, growing up, and that’s what she really relates to and that’s what she believes led her to sending these text messages and trying to keep Lauryn close."
