The “poop lady” from Hoarders, Shanna, was living in a home filled with waste and feces. After her episode aired, she received help to clean up her home.
Shanna’s story was one of the most shocking and memorable from the A&E series “Hoarders.” Her real name is Shanna Lynette Smith, and she appeared in the third season of the show in an episode titled “Shanna & Lynda.” The conditions of her home were extreme, with rooms filled with garbage and human feces. The situation was so severe that it posed serious health risks to anyone entering the property.
The episode revealed that Shanna had been using buckets to relieve herself because her toilets were broken and she didn’t have the means to fix them. Instead of disposing of the waste, she kept it inside her home, leading to an unimaginable level of hoarding.
After the episode aired, a cleanup crew came to Shanna’s home to tackle the hazardous environment. The process was intense and required a significant amount of time and effort due to the biohazard conditions. The crew removed tons of garbage and waste, and they also worked on repairing parts of the home that were damaged.
The show provided Shanna with aftercare, which included therapy to address the underlying issues that contributed to her hoarding behavior. While the immediate crisis was managed, the long-term success of hoarding treatment depends on the individual’s commitment to change and ongoing support. The show often updates on past participants, but specific long-term details about Shanna’s case have not been widely publicized.
