Lori Vallow Daybell Breaks Her Silence in First Media Interview

In a significant moment, Lori Vallow Daybell, aged 51, has taken the opportunity to speak out publicly for the very first time. This marks her first onscreen interview following her conviction for first-degree murder in 2023. The charges stem from the tragic deaths of her 7-year-old son, Joshua “JJ” Vallow, and her 16-year-old daughter, Tylee Ryan. Additionally, Lori is accused of conspiring to murder her husband Chad Daybell‘s first wife, Tamara “Tammy” Daybell, in a shocking case that has captivated the nation.

Throughout her interview, Lori maintained her innocence regarding the deaths that occurred in 2019, firmly asserting that she had no involvement in any wrongdoing. She expressed her frustration with how the media has portrayed her during the trial, stating that the coverage was fundamentally inaccurate and sensationalized. “We all know what the media does,” she remarked during her conversation with NBC Dateline correspondent Keith Morrison on March 7. “They exaggerate everything and they make stuff up and they twist things around. So, I don’t know how it became what it is today. It’s amazing to me.”

Feeling deeply misunderstood, Lori emphasized the difficulty of truly knowing a person without direct communication. She questioned, “How do you know a person if you’ve never talked to them in five years? How do you know anything about them? How do you know anything about their life, how it really is?” Her statements reflect a desire for a more nuanced understanding of her circumstances and the complexities surrounding her case.
