Lauren Southern Speaks Out Against Andrew Tate
Good morning.
Time to pour gasoline on what’s left of my reputation and strike the match, all for a cause I should’ve committed to long ago: the truth.
This Is Not Real Life is a memoir about the total, unfiltered chaos behind the scenes of my time in media.
From an evangelical upbringing and a steady diet of Fox News, to going viral and playing my first part in media disinformation, to meeting with terrorists, neo-Nazis, intelligence agents, and political crime rings. There's coke binges, MDMA diplomacy with enemies, a nuclear-grade marriage meltdown, and a trail of scandals across five continents. I was arrested in Turkey and Morocco, got banned from the UK, and maybe(?) violated international sanctions. Finally, a psychotic break, addiction, and the dark art of conspiracy.
If you’re someone I met along the way and you’re thinking, “Wait, am I in this book?” Relax. Unless you committed a crime or did something genuinely insane, you’re probably fine.
If anything, I’m the one under the microscope. I still have no idea how much trouble I’ll be in with the government (let alone everyone else) for publishing this. I guess we’ll find out.
No, I won’t be doing interviews. Don’t ask.
I wrote this book to claw my way back to reality. I hope it helps you to do the same.
With nothing but love,
Lauren
