Diane Sawyer's latest interview with the Turpin siblings has become ABC News' most-watched primetime special in over three years, according to Nielsen Big Data + Panel. This emotional and revealing special, titled 'The Turpins: A New House of Horror', captivated audiences with its heart-wrenching story of abuse and imprisonment. But here's where it gets controversial... The special features three siblings who have never spoken before, sharing their harrowing past and the shocking truth about what happened when half of the siblings entered the foster care system. This marks the second time Sawyer has chronicled the Turpin siblings' story, with the first interview in 2021 drawing 7.4 million viewers. The latest special is also the third most-watched Diane Sawyer special on ABC since 2019, behind only the Matthew Perry special and the original Turpin special. Disney has also been seeing traction on streaming, with almost 6.1 million viewers across ABC, Hulu, Disney+, and digital platforms over five days. The story of the Turpin family first made headlines in 2018 when 13 children between the ages of 2 and 29 were rescued from a California home after 17-year-old Jordan Turpin escaped and called 911. This special is a must-watch for those interested in true crime and the impact of abuse on families. But what do you think? Do you think the Turpin siblings should have been allowed to stay with their parents? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
