Turpin’s Rise To Fame On Social Media

The Jordan Turpin escaped from her home in Parris, California, in January 2018. Following her escape from the residence, she called 911 to report her situation. Lastly allowing her and her siblings to leave behind the house of horrors. 

The whole truth was revealed to them. Several newspapers dubbed the house ‘The House of Horrors’. However, Jordan Turpin has largely remained out of the case, as she discussed the matter in Diane Sawyer’s interview.  

“We don’t go to school, we live in filth, we starve. And all the stuff,” she told Diane Sawyer. Afterward, detailed information emerged about how the Turpins shackled their children to beds, beaten them, and denied them basic hygiene, like showers.

A police investigation resulted in the arrest of her parents. Her parents, who pleaded guilty to various felonies last year, were given life sentences with possible parole after serving 25 years.

During this period, her parents David and Louise were both sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole in 25 years. Jordan Turpin appears to have moved on from the case and found her niche in TikTok after being behind bars.

 She joined the social media platform in May of 2021 and has shared more than 80 videos since then. After building up a substantial fan base of more than 475,000 and 2.7 million likes, she was verified by the app in mid-January.
