15:TikTok FAMOUS @thatlilnina Did Time, Tells Stories

In this episode of the TikTok FAMOUS™️ Podcast, host Meredyth Willits sits down with the one and only @thatlilnina — the viral creator whose raw, jaw-dropping prison roommate stories have turned bedtime scrolling into true crime confessionals. From being groomed at 14 and homeless by 18, to facing 90 years behind bars for a Disney heist (yes, Disney!), Nina’s story proves you can’t judge a book — or a bunkmate — by its cover.

 

Together, they dive into:

✅ The wild details of her Disney hotel burglaries
✅ Why Disney is the perfect place to commit a crime (and cover it up)
✅ How the system stacks charges and sticks you with restitution for someone else’s mess
✅ Why the prison staff are the real reason people come out worse
✅ Roommates she Googled only after they lived together — and the horrifying things they’d done
✅ Addiction, sobriety, and why prison did (and didn’t) save her
✅ The brutal truth about the US system vs. prison abroad
✅ Why her smile was her greatest rebellion behind bars

 

If you think you know what goes on behind cell doors, this episode will make you question everything — while laughing, cringing, and binging every one of Nina’s TikToks.

 

🎧 Tune in to hear how Nina is:

✨ Turning her time inside into stories that wake people up
✨ Exposing what’s really happening on the inside
✨ Making us question whether punishment or profit is the real plan
✨ Smiling through it all — because it messes with the people who can’t
