“I saw the trailer suddenly in class and had an anxiety attack," Shari wrote. She then claimed, “None of us were contacted about the movie. None of the proceeds are going to the kids,” referring to herself and her five siblings.

“This movie is trash, and only hurts my siblings more,” Shari continued, before she asked her followers, “Please do not support this movie.”

Lifetime did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Then, in apostshared a month later, Shari wrote there were “not even words to describe how upside down my life has become.”

“I’ve cried, had an infinite number of panic attacks, had way too much ice-cream, and yet life goes on. Therapy has literally saved me, but God has too,” she continued. “My life is somehow becoming more beautiful and fulfilling, despite all the terrible things going on.”

“I’ve tried to live my life to the fullest the last few weeks, even though all I want to do is hide away in my apartment (I do have my days). Tomorrow is another big court day, and I’d appreciate your prayers and thoughts for my family and myself,” added Shari.
