Chris Watts' Denial of Responsibility

  • ⛓️ Chris Watts, convicted of murdering his wife and daughters, is writing letters from Dodge Correctional Institute, shifting blame away from himself.
  • 💡 He claims he was misled and tempted by women, specifically his mistress Nicole Kessinger, whom he calls an "evil woman" and a "harlot."
  • 🎭 Watts couches his writings in a spiritual Christian framework, which he uses to avoid personal accountability, stating he was "swayed" and "weak."

Blame on Wife and Other Women

  • 🤰 He also blames his pregnant wife, Shannan, suggesting her "doineering and self-absorbed" nature contributed to her death.
  • 🚫 Watts refers to other unnamed women as "harlots" and "jezebels", further deflecting responsibility for his actions.
  • 💄 He controversially suggests that makeup on a woman's face cannot disguise an "evil heart," implying appearance is a sign of inner malice.

Search for a New Wife

  • ❤️ Despite his claims of being misled by women, Watts appears to be actively seeking a new wife through correspondence.
  • ✍️ He is described as a good correspondent, often discussing spiritual matters and Jesus, while also asserting he was a "good husband and father" before "things happened."
  • 🤔 Some women who write to him reportedly fall for his narrative, believing he may have changed or is a better person than perceived.
  • ⚠️ The reporter notes the stark contrast between Watts' claims of "things happening" and the reality of him strangling his wife and smothering his children.
