The Deep End

I really enjoyed this documentary! During the first episode, I thought of Teal as a Tony Robbins-type motivational speaker type. By the end, I thought she was an absolute sociopath. Great documentary!

As someone who has followed Teal quite a while ago 2009(?) to 2015 I had always found something was of about her story. From her claiming to have been abused and sewn into a corpse as a child, to driving out into the forest having an abortion by herself on herself and then leaving her blood children in the snow... just to mention a two. What I found extremely appalling was that when her friend was raped she stood by the rapist... and whenever people questioned her she became aggressive telling people they should kill themselves... at the beginning it was easier to ignore some of the stuff as fantasy or unhappy people leaving the community, but after a while there was so much that you had to be willfully ignorant to the damage she does to people as well as to her backstory that was clearly made up. She was traveling the world as a super model in the time she was being controlled and abused, and there are no pictures of her modeling except some quite tasteless naked pictures in bad lighting - there is nothing professional about the pictures. She loves to call herself famous as money, fame and power is what she is after. For someone who teaches others to empower themselves she is really quick at playing the victim at the slightest critique she receives. And you will be shunned from the community if you dare to question her. She a dangerous cult leader who not only targets suicidal people, but also tells people to kill themselves if they disagree with her. The videos her followers talk about are mostly word salad that will make your head spin if you try to understand it. She needs to be exposed and I'm really curious about this documentary.

A seriously engaging documentary. I thought I'd check out the first episode and I ended up binging the entire thing in one afternoon. Each episodes shows a more ghastly side of Teal Swan than the previous one.

This person is a perfect example of someone who's been drinking too much of their own Kool-aid for too long.

She's abusive, controlling, vindictive, and disdainful. Whenever I see a doc like this I have to wonder how these followers come to lose all common sense and value in themselves.

Swan makes it her full-time job (and full-time grift) to make you feel as badly about yourself as possible. And her entire business model depends on people feeling badly about themselves.

Exploiting people in pain and people in need will always be a profitable business for some.

The documentary is extremely well done. I don't get the negative reviews .. Teal, however, should not be allowed near other human beings. She is absolutely terrifying to watch, I can't imagine what she's like in real life.

Her childhood bff did an episode of the Mormon stories podcast were she talked about Teals manipulative habits from a young age. Highly recommend. There's a way to define and measure a cult. Teal Swan is running a cult. She checks EVERY box. This doc is shot so well, it feels like a drama film. It's very engaging - I have a pretty small attention span and this kept me glued to the screen. Of course, it's cut together in a way to push a heavier tone, but don't let that distract you from the facts they are presenting. You can tell the filmmakers really wanted you to see the red flags - but I think that's what they should've done it considering SHES RUNNING A CULT IN 2022. It's worth your time to watch this!! Stay informed!! She's doing exactly what Jim Jones, David Koresh, Keith Raniere, and. L. Ron Hubbard all did.
