In yet another plot twist that would make even the most seasoned screenwriters jealous, Lindsay Haugen, the star of Netflix’s ‘I Am A Killer,’ is back in the spotlight - this time, walking back a confession that got her a one-way ticket to a 60-year sentence.

Let’s rewind to 2015: Haugen, 41, was allegedly caught strangling her 25-year-old boyfriend, Robert Mast, in a Walmart parking lot - because, you know, love can sometimes be a little… lethal? In her Netflix debut, she coolly stated that she killed Mast because he wanted to die. How romantic! Fast forward to recent events, and she’s singing a different tune.

During a recent clemency hearing - and spoiler alert: it’s as dramatic as it sounds - Haugen claimed she’s haunted by her own words, admitting she only confessed to getting the detective off her back. “I wish I had not said it,” she declared from the cozy confines of the Montana Women’s Prison. “I was drunk and in shock!” Talk about a “hold my beer” moment.

She initially told investigators that she just wanted to kill someone with her bare hands - no big deal, just a casual confession. But now, she’s spinning it as a desperate lie to stop the relentless questioning. Yes, because nothing says “I didn’t mean it” like admitting you sought out an opportunity to commit homicide. Let that sink in.

While Haugen claims she has “grown” since her Netflix fame - achieving the rare status of being a better person while doing time - her past is hard to outrun. A detective who interrogated her revealed that she had also discussed plans for disposing of Mast’s body like an unwanted IKEA purchase. Nice!

Meanwhile, Mast’s family isn’t having any of this revisionist history. His stepmom, Mindy Pendleton, shared the bittersweet symphony of grief while urging the parole board to keep Haugen locked up. “Envision your child, envision the chokehold, the strangulation,” she poignantly reminded everyone, which honestly feels like a necessary reality check for those advocating for Haugen’s clemency.

Now, the Montana Board of Pardons and Parole has 30 days to decide if they want to let Haugen out of prison early. But let’s face it, the chances of that happening are about as likely as finding a vegan burger at a Texas BBQ. So buckle up, Netflix fans: this reality show may be far from over! If nothing else, it brings a whole new meaning to “true crime” in a world where people are often more invested in their Netflix queues than actual justice.
