Interview With Director Skye Borgman

Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story, Premieres on Netflix December 30th

I had an eye-opening conversation with Skye Borgman about what it took to make Netflix’s Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story—and what the documentary reveals once you look past the curated image.

The film traces how Jodi built credibility and trust in public, while behind the scenes, that influence was used to manipulate, isolate, and control. It unpacks the psychology of coercion—how power can be disguised as “help,” how boundaries get blurred, and how people can be pulled deeper in before they realize what’s happening. It also highlights the ripple effects: the families impacted, the community that watched it unfold, and the systems that can enable harm when someone’s platform feels untouchable.

Skye’s team—primarily women—worked relentlessly to handle the material with care and clarity, ensuring the story landed as more than a series of headlines. In the age of influencers and instant credibility, it’s a sobering reminder to look closer at who we’re trusting—and why.
