The forthcoming re-telling of the true-life tragedy that resulted in the death of the 22-year-old by her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, has been slammed online by the 22-year-old. When she and her companion were on a road trip together in August 2021, Petito was strangled. Her remains were discovered on September 19th of this year, with authorities determining that she had been killed by her fiancé just weeks before. Laundrie was discovered dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound later that day. Millions of dollars were invested in finding out what happened to the travel influencer after she disappeared, and the nation was shocked by her death. Now, Lifetime is gearing up to premiere a film portrayeding the events leading up to Petito's death - and many are not looking forward to it. Lifetime users accused Lifetime of 'exploiting her death,' and that the network is 'disgusting,' and 'disrespectful' for releasing a video about it. One wondered if they could 'cancel' the forthcoming film, while another said, 'I can't fathom the disrespect.' They should be ashamed.'
