ABC News scored an exclusive interview with ANIMAL model and online sensation, Kari Ferrell, who is still incarcerated in Salt Lake City and waiting to be sentenced. Despite being locked up, she apparently hasn’t lost her sense of humor or self-esteem. When asked about her upbringing, she described life with her adoptive parents as picture perfect, “I grew up in the in the quintessential middle-class, suburban family. I say it’s akin to the Cleavers, just a little less Aryan.” She also discussed how smart she is and why the internet gravitated towards her story:

“As far as this whole story is concerned, I think that the reason it has been such a big deal is because I am pretty, intelligent and very well spoken,” Ferrell told ABC News in a series of phone interviews from jail. “I am charming and funny.”
