According to Irish newspapers, Zoe's story, whose real name is Roisin, as depicted in this show is completely inaccurate. Her ex-husband reports that she has three children and not just the one girl, as told here. He says she abandoned her two sons and she wanted nothing to do with them, after not showing up for supervised visits that the court had ordered for her. Zoe also claimed here that the drugs were planted in her backpack but, according to Irish newspapers, she has a history of twisting the facts, and it appears this would also be untrue. Furthermore, she did not escape on a 'day release', as claimed on this episode, but rather the Irish consulate secured her release, to which the Ecuadorian authorities agreed, as long as she was to be in prison in Ireland to finish her sentence. None of this was told in her episode.
