Chloe Ayling Drugged and Kidnapped: Still Called a Liar Years Later

Model Chloe Ayling was abducted after being drawn to a fake photo shoot in Milan. She was discharged six days afterward, but her trial was distant for over – seven years, and she is always dubbed a liar.

“Headlines adhere in people’s reasons, even years afterward,” Ms Ayling reveals to the BBC, demonstrating that she still accepts online vitriol from people asking about her account.

Her story is being revealed in a new six-part BBC sequence, Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story. The sequence, which tracks Chloe’s experience being abducted and the media blitz that ensued, is founded on court transcripts, police interviews, and personal accounts – with some locations created for theatrical purposes.

Ms Ayling encountered years of suspicions about her trial with people accusing her of misrepresenting her abduction, benefiting from it, and being involved in a promotion stunt.

But she’s since performed with the drama’s author Georgia Lester and producers to reveal her story.

Chloe Ayling: Drugged and Kidnapped

“All I desired was [the] facts to be spread out,” Ms Ayling says.

She expects her knowledge will benefit others. “Thos is the reading for the people,” she counts.

Ms. Ayling’s trial formed in July 2017 when she was attracted from London to Italy on the security of a photo shoot by Lukasz Herba, who anesthetized her and brought her to a small farmhouse in a holdall handbag.

Lukasz Herba expressed she would be dealt with online if she could not deliver a $300,000 (roughly £230,000) ransom fee. He took her to the British consulate in Milan six daytimes later.

Discovering herself in the middle of so much media engagement, Ms. Ayling recalls: “It was just so great and overbearing.

“It was mangled out of balance, there were things that were skipped out and it was moving in an approach that was not true.”

On the subject of smiling when she reached her household from Italy, Ms Ayling states. “That was genuinely how I was fumbling at the time. I was delighted to be home. I was glad this was around, so why shouldn’t I be grinning?”

Even though Lukasz Herba, a Polish citizen, was imprisoned for 16 years and nine months for her abduction. People persisted in blaming her for not telling the truth.

Ms. Ayling Regards

Ms. Ayling regards her work as a standard contributed to how she ministered: “I do accept if my job was additional, it wouldn’t be the same response,” adding that the manner a victim dresses, masks, or shows emotion shouldn’t be a basis not to accept them.

After her abduction, Ms Ayling published a book and materialized as a competitor on Celebrity Big Brother.

Despite the backlash she accepted, she wouldn’t vary anything about how she conducted, she says.

“I was correct to myself and accomplished what I want[ed] to do, and that is why I don’t have regrets.”

‘How We Treat Victims’

The BBC drama arrives as her kidnapper’s brother, Michal Herba. Who was also interested in Ms Ayling’s abduction, has been discharged from prison. He was condemned to 16 years and eight months in lockup but had his punishment declined after an appeal.

“I think he should have been in lockup for a ton longer,” Ms Ayling speaks of Michal Herba.
