CRIMINALITY is a podcast for those of us who love reality TV, true crime, and want to hear all the juicy stories where the two genres intersect. Every other Friday, hosts, Melissa (one half of Moms and Mysteries podcast) and Rebekah (host of DIE-ALOGUE podcast), will share the true story of a reality personality who faced more than just champagne problems. You won’t find murder stories here, but fear not, there are crimes a plenty - fraud, arrests, mugshots, scandals, and more. CRIMINALITY: Because loving reality isn’t a crime!
They say it takes two to tango, but apparently, it just takes one to mismanage money to the tune of $750k in hidden income. Notorious dance instructor Abby Lee Miller had an instinct for choreography from a young age… not so much for finances. Melissa takes the lead in today’s story, which features the complicated life of Abby Lee Miller and her role on Lifetime’s Dance Moms. Bankruptcy, Assault, Shantes, oh my! Grab some sour patch kids and listen to this story which will surely have you swinging from the chandelier.
*We talk Mare of Easttown Spoilers between 2:25 and 7:25. If you haven't watched it yet, you may want to skip this section, and re-evaluate your TV choices. If you have watched, let us know what you thought of the finale!*
