It’s nice to see siblings with different mums so close. My dad has 5 other kids he doesn’t bother with us & neither do they. It’s a shame because I think siblings are one of the best thing you can have x

[@helenfellows3082]

This has movie plot written all over it. Such a strong man

[@misszt]

Yesssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@misszt]

He needs to write a book xxx

[@themaddiebruce]

Such a brave video for you girls to do. Thank you for telling your story, I literally cannot believe this happened to you- sending love you are both so beautiful and strong xxxx

[@tijay8507]

You Dad seems like such a decent man, he is so calm and controlled considering everything he went through, what a horrible position to be in ,he must have been so scared and so must you and the rest of the family too, bless you all xxx

[@susanloveshuskies]

I'm from the states. I remember Enron clearly. What pisses me off is the real asshats really didn't go down. Instead innocent people got it. Amazing. Thank you for sharing. Your Father is an awesome man. I'm sorry this happened to you. Corruption is frigging ridic here.

[@SoniaRossi72]

So sorry you had to go through all this. Your father is so lovely. Softly spoken. A real gentleman 😊.

[@SashaSteelQueenie]

susanloveshuskies same here the real jerks should go to jail

[@Simbecile]

I agree. Everyone in the US knew at the time the real criminals got off and their employees took the fall. The government honestly though we were stupid enough to believe the show they put on for us.

[@Lyn_DS]

This is a really interesting video! Great to hear your dad’s side and yours. I want to thank you for all the children who deal with one of their parents in jail. I also want to thank you that you’re saying a few times “as long as you have your health you can get through anything”, I’m more than 10y at home (no school, no job) with a chronic illness and a lot of times people forget how important health is, so thank you for this as well. I hope you’re all happy now ❤️

[@chelsealawson3735]

Your dad is a sweetheart. It was amazing to hear him talk about this experience! It must have been so hard for you all.

[@VictoriaJoly]

Your Dad is so softly spoken and calm, he reminds me a lot of my own. Nothing will ever make up for all those stolen years apart. Thank you for this video and thanks to your Dad for allowing you to share it X

[@carradoll64]

Such an interesting video and amazing how your Dad does not harbour any bitterness, he is such a positive person who sees his experience with such a positive attitude, no wonder you love him so much, thank you for sharing x

[@sophieameliac]

Your dad is a brave man! He seems so kind and genuine. I’m sorry he had to go through this

[@lucie.houchin]

I'm so glad you shared this Lucy. Its so crazy what happens in peoples lives behind closed doors. Your poor lovely dad, that must have been so difficult for him and for you girls. You're tough little cookies x

[@lindakellum2181]

This was a very telling and personal video. It must have been such a devastating time for your whole family. Thank you all for opening up and telling your side of the story. So many lives and families were effected by this Enron situation. It’s a shame that so many innocent people had to suffer because of the greed and deceit of others. Thanks for sharing your family’s version.

[@zoeclarkeceezoe999]

Usually would never comment But I found this so interesting and inspiring how your family and dad came through it all. When he mentioned about the difference of jails in both uk and usa, It would be really interesting to hear more about his experiences and stories in jail and how you and your sisters found visiting and communicating with him. Very brave for yous all to put your story out on youtube but I'm sure there is someone out there that really needed to hear this xx

[@madeleinejones9757]

And now Elle has lost her mum, I cannot even comphrehend what you all have been through. You are both wonderful and stong sisters. stay safe x

[@helo3110]

This is so sad your poor dad he seems such a lovely fella and it’s so unfair they had to go through that. So impressive how strong he stayed. You can 100% see that your poor dad was innocent bless him. I just want to hug him 😭

[@rachelmarsh7291]

Strong strong girls..all the love and peace in the world to you both xxxx

[@essbee5882]

Thanks for sharing this. You're dad should write a book honestly. You can tell what a genuine guy he is. Bet he's so proud of you girls 😘😘

[@tika4945]

Your Dad seems like such a nice, kind person. Your family is amazing!

[@angelabell7426]

So touching to watch this your dad's a great person for not testifying against his friends as other's in this world would to get off that shows you he's a true friend and a caring guy, he seems amazing and just love how open he is to talk about it. You guys are a great family xxx

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Thank you Angela very kind of you xxx

[@stevenbridgland3727]

Hello Lucy. I'm probably the least likely person to ever watch your channel - but I worked in the same group as your dad at Greenwich NatWest and then RBC-DS and lived through this whole thing on the sidelines. It was the most shocking experience of my professional life seeing three colleagues go through all this. Anyway, I just wanted to say your video was really interesting and I thought you dealt with the material very maturely and openly and without judgement. It was also great to see your dad - haven't seen him for a long time and would love to grab a beer one day - meantime please tell him Bridgland says hello, and up the 'Ammers !

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Hi Steven, He was thrilled to hear form you! He said he always thought really highly of you & Stefan! Pleased you enjoyed the video :)

[@wendylock9071]

Really loved listening to this story... it was really interesting thankyou so much for sharing this with us... your dad is amazing xxx xxx love you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@hollyhickman3873]

Can really admire how at peace you all are with what happened. I imagine I would hold a lot of bitterness towards the corporations and the CEOs and the people truly behind the Enron case. The fact the accountancy company at the core of it's CEOs and Board of Director's came out unscathed with huge 'golden parachute' payments is disgusting. Proud of you ladies.

[@moirabranston]

I never realised you two were sisters, always thought you looked very alike in your videos. I admire your dad strength, honesty and the way he told his story so calmly without any hatred or resentment is amazing, that is the true sign of a strong minded gentleman. Completely agree with what you say, teach our children by example . Sending you both and your dad and the rest of your family an abundance of love and respect x

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Thank you Moira xxx

[@MegaUnfunny]

I hope your dad has a happy life now. He deserves it a lot.

[@clairebunyan6045]

I’m so fascinated by this, thank you so much for sharing. Haven’t managed to finish watching it yet but have to head to work.

[@amanjotkaur6881]

What an amazing man your dad is! So level headed and able to keep a level head. Teared up when he said he doesn't regret anything!

[@Posh369]

What brave woman you are. I work for a charity inside prisons as a support worker, we aim to help families like yourselves (when your Dad was in prison) and i wish I could just show people this video who are going through this right now. Very brave for sharing 💖 thank you x

[@roseyhome]

What a great video Lucy. Your dad is so lovely. I can’t believe this all happened to him. I am so pleased it all worked out in the end and that he is living a great life now. I can’t imagine what it was like for you all at home xxx

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Thank you Sarah :) xxx

[@meghanbrodie95]

Love how you opened up about such a personal subject. You and Elle lead such amazing lives and you would never have know hat you had a childhood like you did. Such strong women and it’s nice to see people succeeding even when they have had a struggle in the past xx

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Meghan Brodie thank you Meghan ❤️

[@shannonsymone9618]

Your dad is so brave, to go through that and still come out with a level head is just amazing.

[@adrienneduffy4871]

Thanks for sharing this Lucy! Such an amazing story xx

[@kym.etherington]

Thank you so much for sharing this,I admire your brutal honesty from you and Elle,you're both amazing! So happy I found you both and subscribed to you both! X

[@katie_ellison]

I really enjoyed listening to this Lucy. Your Dad just looks like a nice person if that makes sense and he seems to have such a level and calm head on his shoulders for someone who has been through so much. I can't imagine what it must have been like for him and I am so glad all is well now. Lots of love to you all, I just think you are such a lovely family. x

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Thank you Katie so kind of you xxx

[@meganthomas9617]

I can relate to your story. Lovely to see a family that are so close & supportive to one another

[@chloexo3503]

I need a film and a book about this!! Amazing story

[@lep2239]

Thank you for sharing your story. I lived through a very similar situation with my dad, so can totally relate. I didn’t realise you and Elle were half sisters, will you ever do a video to share this story? I’d defiantly watch x

[@clairegroocock393]

Very brave video to make! But it also carries such an important message! Done with dignity and grace, think you did your dad and yourselves proud! 💕

[@stephmeier]

Love this story! Really a struggle/victory story. To come through this together and then still be together as a family, says so much about each of you. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@milliemiles1040]

This made me so emotional! Your dad is amazing! X

[@megagg51]

I would love to hear your dad talking about the effect this had on his life once he was out of prison and it was all over. Such a crazy thing to have gone through. Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

We are doing a part 2! X

[@emileejade2944]

When is part 2? 😱❤

[@Eltoria]

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Thanks babe xxx

[@The1WinningTeam]

Thank you guys for sharing your stories! It is so interesting and its so dad you had to go through it!

[@AD-oo9gu]

Sending you so much love and support always. You have shown such strength having dealt with such a shitty period in your lives, you should be proud of yourselves! And look how far you have both come!! Onwards and upwards xxx

[@JD-ow9fy]

My parents were in jail and I ended up in foster care. It stays with you forever seeing it happen and can’t do nothing about it is very difficult! But I’ve learnt so much from it and thank you so much for posting this because no one understands me when I talk about it ❤️ love you girlies

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Thank you Jess xxx

[@xindigochildx]

Lots of love to you

[@amygeddes5835]

Wow! This was such an interesting video!! And very different content for a lifestyle channel I’m very impressed xxx

[@dionarcher2875]

This video is amazing and you are so strong for putting such personal information out there and I applaud you for that I love and wish you the best xxx

[@ChloeScannellXO]

Sunday roast getting ready and a video upload with yous two! Perfect ❤️

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Chloe Scannell ❤️❤️❤️

[@ItsWendie]

Such an amazing story worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster! As an Irish passport holder, I often think Britain hands over to the US too easily but not from the US to UK. Bless you girls, great Chanel just subbed x

[@zoegibb9282]

Your dad really reminds me of Tom Jones! Just me?

[@lucy5241]

Not just you ahq😂

[@islagardiner3769]

Omggfff yes

[@rachelbxxx]

Thats what I taught and sounds like him abit

[@tijay8507]

No just you!

[@tijay8507]

He has a grey beard and grey hair and is a man....that is where the similarity ends lol

[@CharleyBourne]

Feel so sorry for your dad he seems such a nice person!

[@hkmc_x]

You’re all incredibly strong❤️

[@bekah826]

You are both such an inspiration and you’d never know you went through something like this 💜

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Bekah thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@Dollytimebabies]

Such a sweet man!!!All he's been through!!💗

[@SJ_Strum]

It’s so great to listen to this; and I think your dad did amazing to make sure you didn’t understand it too well as it seems he just protected you and made you feel as safe as he could in his situation. It shows in how close you all are to each other that family came first. Xxxx

[@josefineoijer]

Thank you so much for sharing! I now understand what made you two such openminded, loving and nice human beings. And like you said Elle I think it's so good to share because it might make a huge difference to anyone who's going through the same thing ❤️

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Thank you very kind of you xxx

[@abimiltonX]

Your parents must be so proud of you both and the people you have become!! 💜💜

[@jemjarvs]

What a lovely man. You are very lucky to have such an amazing dad. x

[@juliespencer1164]

It must have been so hard for you both and the family to have to deal with something like this. I wish all family members the best for the future.

[@kyliebaker7036]

This is a subject very close to me and your dad was amazing taking about it and being so honest and opened about his experience and just how strong he was and how he handled it aswell, I grew up with my dad in prison aswell (wrongly accused innocence eventually proven). You ladies were lucky to have each other though the bond you have is amazing. I went through it without a sibling, some people will always judge regardless the second prison is mentioned some people automatically think guilty before they even understand the situation. ❤️❤️

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Sorry to hear that Kylie! And yes your right xxx

[@leah8516]

Sorry to here that Kylie!and your yes your right xxx

[@kates_life_in_recovery]

Thanks for sharing something so personal, it’s lovely to hear and see a family sticking together and coming through at the other side. People judge to often and it’s ignorance. Keep smiling guys xx

[@shaunattwoodOFFICIAL]

great moving interview

[@julesparsons5611]

What a genuinely lovely family you all are x

[@chloexo3503]

This was such an interesting video!! Your dad is mesmerising, his story telling is great. What a really intriguing video x

[@izzyhyatt-marley3459]

What a harrowing experience for your dad, he is such an incredible man to go through such an unjust ordeal and still come out the other end of it all with dignity, peace and perspective. Shame on the American justice system for their underhanded & corrupt practices! Amazing man 💖

[@janedoe5749]

Youre both wonderful at expressing yourselves, thanks for sharing your family story!

[@scarlett-janemann1321]

This happened with my dad too! He was arrested in Portugal, sent home and extradited 5 years later with European Law went to high courts ect! absolute nightmare! x

[@RosietheGirls]

The most real video I’ve ever seen on KZbin. Well done Lucy. Would be interested in a part two. Very brave x

[@beastyboyBlue]

What a harrowing experience your Dad had to go through. He is such a lovely man,so honest about the whole thing as well. Lucy you and your sister are lovely ,so mature ,sorry Ye had to go through all that. It must have been so difficult for Ye.

[@user-dk8hm4jj8d]

This is SO brave of you to upload as a family! Reading the comments you've helped so many people already, Hats off!

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Thank you :) xxx

[@lauragxo]

Ahhh your Dad seems so honest and humble. Really down to earth. Lovely family. ❣ XO

[@mackphillips3828]

[@ThereseMaree]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’ve read some of the comments on here and you’re helping a lot of viewers with your experience. Sending lots of love from Australia 😘

[@raventoadstool1435]

Your Dad is so lovely. Terrible you all went through that.

[@scarlettjohnson6385]

I really needed this! My dads in jail at the moment and I really needed to see two people in the public eye actually speak about something like this. I’m 14 so it’s quite difficult, I love seeing two of my favourite KZbinrs talking about something that’s so personal! I messaged you last night on Instagram to say thank you even though I hadn’t seen the video! Thank you so much Lucy, Elle and your dad, this honestly means so much to me. I can relate so much to you two and your experience and how similar it is to mine. Me and my little sister are closer now as well. You two are my idols and seeing this video makes me admire you two even more. Love your videos and your content xxx

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

Aw im so sorry to hear that. Thoughts are with you xxx

[@scarlettjohnson6385]

Lucy Jessica Carter thank you, I really appreciate you two making this video, I will definitely take a lot from it xx

[@terrimilne2772]

Guys you are both and your families a total total inspiration. I would love to see a video about your family, living with separate Mother's. How it worked etc. Your both amazing ans thank you for sharing such a personal subject XX

[@amybartlett7653]

You are both so strong for uploading this. Love both of your channels, I’m sure this video will help so many people, your Dad seems like a lovely person/family man. So glad you’re all well now, lots of love to your family xx

[@marcellawison01]

Honestly such a good video!, your transperancy and honesty was amazing, I bet it was cathartic for your Dad to tell his story on a public forum. Well done on such great content, to both you and your sister and father.

[@rubypearl4949]

Omg you both are sisters! I seen both of yours videos not knowing your sisters. I've been watching your sisters vlogs since yesterday for the first time & loved her. You girls as beautiful 💜

[@lvega5606]

Everyone in the US, at least those of us over a certain age, have heard about Enron. There are so many movies, documentaries, etc made about it. Some are available on KZbin.

[@messyludo1269]

I’m 2 years late to this just I just want to say your dad is a legend! Still shocked about what American police is like! 😡

[@jaebird789]

This is simply horrific. Your poor family.

[@KellyJackson]

Thank you for this post. I experienced something similar and the stigma around it really prevents me from wanting to talk about it.

[@gemmahammond9087]

Good on your lovely Dad for having the courage to speak up about his ordeal. He must be your inspiration!! Very articulate man and agreed...does really resemble Tom Jones!! 😂Its no bad thing😉 Xx

[@B132xx]

What an incredible man and family. Im appauled he had to go to prison still and he was innocent!! How are they allowed to do that its completely and utterly wrong! Xx

[@hanaowens5988]

This is an excellently made video! Well done girls

[@Letitia-Smith]

So sorry you had to deal with this, the world is crazy. Sending you all my love xx

[@sinead7706]

Your dad is amazing to go through all of that and come out so level headed and strong. I think you all handled this so well 💗 you’re so brave and positive xx

[@meera7549]

I work in Finance in the UK and was shocked when I heard you mentioned Enron! most people in the industry even younger generations (im 26) have heard of that scandal but I didn't realise that innocent people were sent down. Thank you for sharing your stories, I now want to research it even further

[@1991LMR]

Your dad is amazing!

[@LucyJessicaCarter]

He is indeed! Thank you! X

[@rcme0000]

This is so interesting from both of your guys perspectives. Obviously so sorry for your dad going to prison but wow.

[@AshleeWhite]

Wow!! Your dad is a strong man. He needs to write a book! Thank you for sharing your story xo

[@sharonsutherland5520]

What an amazing Dad you have such a Precious man❤ it must have been very hard.. Thank you for sharing your experience..Much love and take care😊❤XO 🙏

[@trateshariddick5742]

I think this video was important & needed to be heard. My niece is going thru this form of heartbreak now (she’s 8) . Thank you for this.

[@hollyxx387]

Idk but it kind of makes me feel a bit better to know and watch people who have had the dad in jail because mine is at the minute and had been since I was 10 and I’m 13 now so it makes me feel kinda happy to see how u are all so successful and happy now xxx

[@lillie-mainicholson2010]

Mine has since I was 9 and I'm thirteen now. He will.be out next year tho however the only contact I'm aloud to have with him is writing letters. :/

[@hollyxx387]

Dollarxpills oh wow he when I’m in 2017 June and we had no contact till September of 2017 but the contact I have is writing letters or sending pictures and 10 minute phone calls every day and he can call multiple times as long as he pays for it and we can go a visit him some are for 2 hours and a family day visit you get a 5hour visit xx

[@hollyraeskinner3140]

We studied the play Enron at drama school this past month and it’s insane that I’ve come across this and can see the total opposite side to how it’s shown. Lots of love to your family 💝

[@MUR-wl2jz]

I can't believe you have different mums! Your dad's genes must be super strong you are like twins

[@caraj9306]

Thanku for sharing the story . Sending love x
