One of Us is a Monster – The Laura Bailey Story

“” – Laura Bailey A surprising number of emails, WhatsApp messages, and documents vanished from my devices in the summer of 2023. I first noticed while putting together evidence of what had happened over the past few years. I was under criminal investigation after all, and I kept finding holes where I knew something existed.…

“I’ve always hated my mom for how she treated my dad during the divorce.” – Laura Bailey There’s a special category of lie that’s so stupid, you start to wonder what kind of person would think it’s even worth telling your hairdresser, let alone the police. This is one of those. When Debra Gunn, Laura’s…

“” – Laura Bailey It was supposed to be a clean slate. A family trip. Sun, sea, and the illusion of a reset following Laura’s most recent infidelity. Our flight to Mallorca left in the early afternoon. By the time we reached the airport, Laura had already finished two bottles of prosecco. At the gate…

“” – Laura Bailey There’s one particular saga in the Bailey/Gunn family self-sabotage I still don’t understand, and that’s coming from a master of self-sabotage myself. I wouldn’t say I ever really got along with Richard, Laura’s father, but I felt we had an understanding. He didn’t hide who he was or what he thought,…

“” – Laura Bailey You never knew which Laura you were going to get. Some days it was the nice one. Other days it was the angry one. Most of the time, sober Laura didn’t go for overt aggression.

“” – Laura Bailey Laura always had notes for me. Not love notes. Correction notes. She would often get mad at me and want to “fix” the way I interacted with people, especially her family or old school friends. It didn’t come up in the moment. It came later, at home, in the car, or…

“” – Laura Bailey Part of Laura’s plan to have me arrested and charged was simply to remove the people who could contradict her story. Our assistant and our nanny were around all day, five days a week. They saw too much. So, in Laura’s mind, they had to go. Her focus first turned to…

“” – Laura Bailey Usually there’s a line between gossip and crime, but in Laura’s world, the two were interchangeable. At least one person has claimed that Laura approached them directly, asking if they would go to the police and say they’d witnessed me abusing her. The only problem is they hadn’t. This wasn’t some…

“” – Laura Bailey It turns out you can cancel a child’s nursery place the same way you ghost a Tinder date: quietly, behind someone’s back, and on a day you know they’re feeling hopeful enough to pay for the whole thing. I emailed the nursery for an updated invoice, since we’d adjusted our daughter’s…

“I’m hoping I’ve hit rock bottom. Nick catching me drinking whilst caring for Fleur. … I’m a heavy and daily drinking (sic)” – Laura Bailey, August 2023 Most people check for their wallet, keys, and phone before leaving the house. I checked for vodka. During the latter half of 2023, many days began with a…
