I want to share something about a video I watched. Do you remember the girl who went to the prom with Jeff in high school? She mentioned in the video that when they arrived at the prom, Jeff disappeared for a while. She initially thought he went to the washroom, but after 30 minutes passed, he returned after 40 minutes and she found out that he went to McDonald's to get food because he was too nervous to eat at the prom. He kept apologizing and even brought her some food. She reassured him, but he felt really bad and kept apologizing.

Now, let's compare this with "My Friend Dahmer," the movie where Ross Lynch starred. In the prom scene, they only show Jeff eating McDonald's in the car and that's it, not the aftermath like the girl mentioned in her video.

I'm trying to point out the disparity between the media portrayal of Jeff in Netflix and the real-life account from the girl, which revealed how nice and goofy Jeff truly was. This is how the media and entertainment industries shows the good person as bad and the bad people as good. This is REALLY injustice to Jeff :(

Here is the link to the video of the girl who went with Jeff to prom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyK3kxbiyOs

we know nothing at all really about him. Except what we are 'told'

Great insights. Something that nobody seems to notice given the excessive tabloid exposure about this man. Even if he was a real cop, they have nothing good to report so its concealed.

And it sounds like Pat did indeed spill the beams about the truth of what happened to Steven Hicks. Amongst the tabloid narrative we find nuggets of truth. If it goes against the narrative, its more believable.

Yes, it does look like an actor, its not Jeff.

I just saw the video and I feel like if it was 'really' Jeff, they would've shown his face and this dude's back also does not matches with Jeff. So I also think this is some actor and not Jeff

At least they added that disclaimer, so they can’t be accused of misleading people that it’s fictional lol. But not many seem to notice it.

And they build a career and make money from misleading gullible people. They have no morals.

It is very sad how all these people claiming to know Jeff turned on him to make money. Mike Kukral did at least admit that Derf’s book was exaggerated and fabricated in parts.

Exactly. Its just entertainment and some people are incapable of finding reliable sources.
