I AM Satmar and she IS lying. Satmar GIRLS get a superb English education, much better than Yiddish, and better than some more modern schools. Most graduate 12th grade, a shrinking minority 11th. The curfew is a recent takanah only in Willy to prevent unfortunate “maises”. Many Satmar women eat out regularly and most do occasionally. If she had prefaced her interview with a disclaimer that this how a stupid girl (4th grade level) from a dysfunctional Satmar home grows up, PERHAPS she would be saying the truth.
“the more Yeshivishe people are less makpid on driving laws, underage drinking etc. then more modern or not frum people.”
Right, but not because of idiotic “faith” but because we have so many priorities it’s hard to emphasize all of them. BTW underage drinking is more a Yeshivish problem, except on Purim.

Where did she get this idea from pre-Leiby? This is one sick maidel.
“(except for part about the Kletzky murderer being Chassidic, that was atrocious. She knows very well the murderer talked in the papers about eating Treif, etc, and we saw pics of his ex-wife, totally NOT Chassidish, far from).”
This is actually good news. Whoever looks for the truth will see her for what she is.
As a P.S. let me add my previous post, since nobody seems to have read it:
She sounds very similar to Gitty from KJ, who’s as good-looking and probably as sick as her biological dad while Mom is the craziest woman in KJ. The interviewer describes how she was sitting in his car Friday evening and they were watching fathers, grandfathers, and sons going to shul together. What an impression it must have made on him. The serenity, the kedusha, the regal beauty of the chassidishe levush, the love of fathers holding the hands of their little boys. So what did this neveila say to break the spell? “See those shtreimels? They cost $6000 a piece!” What a pathetic liar. For $1000-$1800 you can get a nice shtriemel. The most expensive ones are $4000. I’ll bet she had a lump in her throat too which she was trying to get rid of.
