Laurie claims that her father, John, is a hoarder and describes his home – where she also currently lives - as her “own personal hell.” John admits he has some hoarding “tendencies” but insists his home is “not that bad.” He says he’s wanted to clean up his house and property for years but hasn’t had either the financial resources or the practical help to get it done.
