Convicted killer and so-called “doomsday cult mom” Lori Vallow is asking the court to restrict media access in her upcoming Arizona murder trial, citing claims of defamation and misleading coverage.
Vallow, who is representing herself, filed an objection with the Maricopa County Superior Court last month asking the judge to block Court TV from streaming the proceedings as she faces a second set of murder charges.
“Court TV should be ashamed of its very nature and its request, since its sole objective is NOT to bring people real news or facts but instead its objective is to entertain the public with the very true-life tragedies that happen in real people’s lives,” Vallow, who has already been convicted of killing her two children and her husband’s ex-wife, wrote in court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

Boyce went on to acknowledge a February 2023 psychiatric diagnosis indicating Vallow’s numerous “mental health issues,” citing “delusional disorder” mixed with “hyper-religiosity” and a “continuous and unspecified personality disorder” along with narcissistic features.
An Arizona judge granted Vallow’s request for a mental competency evaluation, following a previous diagnosis stemming from her initial murder trial. She was ultimately deemed mentally competent to stand trial last year.
Vallow will be tried separately for the death of Boudreaux, with her trial relating to the alleged murder of Charles Vallow scheduled to begin on March 31.
