"I don't particularly like Pepsi Cola, but a lot of Pepsi Cola kept coming to my trailer, more than anyone would ever want," Farrow added. "And then she came over to see me, and I got a strange vibe from her."

Feeling extremely uncomfortable, young Farrow made up an on-the-spot excuse to leave. "I just made up a lie that I wasn't feeling very well and I didn't want to give her any diseases," she shared. "I think I said the word 'diseases' as I walked out of the room. I was scared of Ms. Crawford." Read the original article onPeople
