When she kept calling and leaving cursing messages he used it against her in court. Even in the beginning and through out their marriage she was a devoted wife and mother but he left her anyway! But life isn't fair and even though she was deeply hurt by all that happened to her murder is never an option!! By killing her ex-husband and his wife she took two people from this world that were loved by their family and friends and she ruined all her children's lives as well as her own! Over thirty years in prison with no real end in sight and only one of her children still speaks to her! I can't imagine that she has no regrets! It was such a twisted and horrible thing she did!!

Betty Broderick grew up in an era when people married once and stayed together. She was not prepared to be dumped by a husband that she supported through Medical school and Law school for a younger model.

[@linseyanne5975]

So, she worked for a couple of years early on, and then reaped years of a luxury life and then a huge amount of alimony and property when he wanted out. How many women out there would be delighted about having to work only a few years and then quit? It's ridiculous to try making her sound like a martyr or an innocent victim. I can't imagine how any man could have lived with that self-absorbed woman in the first place.

[@loralieisa]

@@linseyanne5975 It sounds like all your information was from movies about this case. A better source is Bella Stumbo's book "Until the twelfth of never." In the book you find that Betty didn't own property post divorce because her ex put the house in his name. Additionally, the alimony she was receiving was temporary. She was being coaxed to start work. She is not portrayed as an innocent victim and neither were Dan B. and his new wife.

She retained Mr. Daniel Jaffe....an extremely competent and successful divorce attorney (to this day btw) and he said plainly on the witness stand after the double homicides how reasonable Dan Broderick was and UN-reasonable Betty was. Mr Jaffe stated how “absolutely bizarre” Betty’s behavior was and he had “never seen anything like it”. He did not want to be her lawyer NOT because he was afraid of Dan but because he knew he would be in court 24/7 trying to bail Betty out of jail for all her crazy, obsessive antics against her soon to be ex! Did you know that Stalking laws were put into place in California after the homicides because of Betty Broderick?? She stalked Dan excessively before killing him which is a very common characteristic of people before they kill. She STOLE her own daughters key that got into Dan’s home so she could cowardly creep inside at 5:30 in the morning to kill him and his wife. Betty is an evil, sick, envious shrew and its an absolute tragedy what SHE did to her children. Not to mention killing 2 people just because she hated them and was jealous of them.

Dan used Betty's body like a children's factory and wasn't very pleased with her decision to actually do something else than just having children. He also used her as a training buddy during his college years to help him pass his exams. He used her confidence in him to go out and build his business. He used her good taste to finely decorate his offices. He used her motherly skills to raise children that didn't become thugs or drug addicts. Basically he sucked a lot out of her and she had no reason to believe that would one day collapse. He and the kids were her main support system. It seems her parents were rather critical most of the time. Dan really took everything from her quite happily so. She had absolutely no more support system. Once I was told: "never enter into a fight with someone that has absolutely nothing to lose". Dan took everything that made her a balanced person, so she became that person that found herself having nothing more to lose.

I disagreed with that. Betty Broderick murdered Dan and Linda because of Betty's jealous rage. She might say the same thing in the next parole hearing in 2032, "I am sorry for everything that happened." By the way, the made-for-TV versions of the Betty Broderick story including the second season of Dirty John are somewhat okay. It is just that Hollywood should make a better version of the Betty Broderick story into a feature film and I have this picture in my mind that Kate Winslet would play Betty Broderick, Leonardo DiCaprio would play Dan Broderick, Margot Robbie would play Linda Kolkena Broderick, and Alyson Hannigan would play Kerry Wells who was the prosecutor in the trials to convict Betty Broderick.

Betty Broderick wants to be the center of some big drama! She is sick in her mind because she is living in her fantasy like if she some princess living a castle! Don't you get it? Betty Broderick will still died in that prison cell. She was denied parole twice because she did not shown any remorse for her actions. She might do the same thing the next that she will eligible for parole. Now, any woman can suspect that her boyfriend or her husband is having affair with another woman behind her back. But murdering the ex and his girl has no justification for it. No justification whatsoever. If Betty Broderick believes that Dan is having an affair with Linda, why did she not see them? Why did she did not see them and said to Dan, "So, you are making out with your personal assistant! You are making out with your personal assistant, huh?"

The truth is that Dan didn't simply DUMP Betty for another woman. I'm not condoning what he did by cheating on Betty. Based on the evidence at the trial, Betty drove Dan into the arms of that woman because she treated him like a dictator. She humiliated him by calling him nasty names in front of his colleagues. If he stepped out of line throughout the course of the marriage, she locked him out of the house. She was violent and threw things at him and treated him like crap. I was shocked when I saw the trial because Betty is the one lying to make herself look like the victim. 1. His parents paid for his medical school and student loans paid for his law school. 2. Betty went to work to help support the family, that's true. However that's because she wanted to do that. Both she and Dan came from an affluent family and they would've helped. 3. Dan sold the "vacant" house from under Betty because she REFUSED every offer and refused to go to mediation. Her lawyer testified against her at trial. After the coral reef house was sold, Betty got more than half of the value of the settlement. Then she cried victim that he sold the house from under her. 4. She did not care about her children and dumped her small child on the doorstep of her ex husband when he wasn't home. That child was traumatized and frightened. 5. Boo hoo, Betty had no money, he left her destitute but she money to buy a $40,000 fur coat, right? 6. Betty did not care about anyone but herself. During the 45 minute conversation with her 11 year old son, Danny, she asked Danny if he had a "cold" when you could visibly hear that the child was sobbing and pleading with her to stop saying bad words. OMG, this story has been so twisted by Hollywood and the news media. That woman was dreadful. She drove that man away and the truth was twisted to make her the victim. Even if she was the victim of being cheated on that justifies murder? She was no better than Jodi Arias, a cold blooded murderer!

You’re too emotional which seems to be hindering your ability to read with clarity and for understanding. ✌🏾✌🏾

[@spitfirestake54]

Kim Cox I think it was unfortunate he lost his life as well. But I said what I said. I don’t care what you think or feel about it. Now again love, enjoy your morning.

Such a cliche. They married when they were both young and she was very beautiful. She supported him so he could build a great career for himself. She gave him everything. Then after 4 kids and her looks began to fade he decided hey I can do better time for an upgrade. What a sad situation. He could have left in a dignified way but instead he made betty the villain. I think she is a bit nuts but get how she was pushed to her breaking point

[@jtrose6995]

Missy J of course murder is wrong and shes in jail for it but knowing how borderline she is, would it really have been possible for her to just grt over dan and watch him live out the rest of literally her life with a new younger version of herself?? I don think so.

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

What scares me is that the audience members who clapped after Betty attempted to justify what she did is walking the streets FREELY with the same sick thought process as she. That really gives me the creeps...

[@shawneegirl1980]

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

@just my opinion and YOU are one of those individuals that I'm referring to. Words may hurt, but BY LAW, that does not warrant MURDER... TWO MURDERS ON TOP OF THAT. I was molested by my dad from the age of 5 yrs old to the age of 12. He physically beat both me and my mom and nearly beat my newborn sister to death with a PVC pipe on her back bcuz she wouldn't stop crying. THAT was physical, & as my mom contemplated protecting US by killing him after reaching out for help from law enforcement with no results, she left it in the hands of fate. Now, we had every reason PHYSICALLY to preserve our own lives if my mother decided to kill him.... BUT WE DIDN'T. WE had far more reasons than Betty & still managed to keep our sanity. Nothing you say along with the rest of these weirdos defending MURDER will justify Betty's selfish act. Her ex husband moved on, she's upset over money & Betty couldn't cope. Instead of seeking mental help, she decided to handle it HER WAY. And as long as she continues LYING, DENYING & crying woe is me, she will remain in a cage like an animal. Btw, they print MONEY everyday. In time, she could've made more, but look where GREED & JEALOUSY got her. Again, NOT JUSTIFIABLE. A lot of you need as much help as she does.

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

@@claudiailopez until its YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER who becomes that victim of their Ex, JUST like Dan & Linda. I can bet my entire paycheck your tune will change when that happens. You'd become that advocate standing on your soapbox yelling out to anyone who will listen; "yes, my son or daughter cheated on their spouse, but my child DID NOT deserve to be murdered as a result." Now, I'll anxiously wait for your response. I can't wait to read the bull you will use to talk your way outta this one to justify murder yet again.....

[@bleuskye8124]

Good for Betty.

[@cultured33]

I used to sympathize with Betty, but it's no justification for her actions and behavior...what she went through was and is part of life. If someone wants to be with someone else, as painful as it is, you have to find a way to accept it, and move on. Had she accepted that he wanted to move on, she certainly would have had a wopping alimony, she would have had her kids and subsequent grands, and would have been available for another relationship; she was quite attractive. Life throws us some curve balls, but we learn to get through...as discomfort as pain is, it doesn't last forever...it gets better over time. Eventuallly, she would have seen Dan get his retribution and her dignity restored. She didn't and probably still hasn't taken any responsibility for her actions; even as the man is six feet under....amazing!

[@nonarcsense]

Exactly right. She fails to see that she drove him to not want to be with her anymore too.

[@cultured33]

[@BedfordFalls7]

I really believe she lost it after all the time and effort she had given to the marriage and to him. She felt this is my life and she (the girlfriend) is taking it. Plus, the way he treated her constantly made her feel used and not loved ever. All this stayed in her head and she finally couldn't take it anymore.

[@ctine882]

I think she mentally snapped and just couldn't get a grip on reality. I really believe she is mentally ill.

QUEEN of Love,! I am here listening intently to the Betty Broderick Story. I do not condone what this woman has done, but before we begin to judge her, we should at least put our feet into her shoes, and try to walk in them even for 15 minutes. She fell in love and got married to the love of her life. They shared a family too. She figured she had it all, but after sometime things started to go awry. Betty became lonely and yearn for companionship. Her husband did not provide it for her anymore. She questioned his absence, and he must have work, work, working. She ask him if he is seeing someone else, and he BLATANTLY denied it. One day he told her that he hired to work for him. Betty found out who the young woman was and she was incensed. By then her husband started to belittle her by telling her she was fat, old boring and stupid. He then divorced her and remarried his new love. Betty said she was unable to get dialogue with her husband so she did what she did. This adage is relevant to this day."HELL HATH NO FURY, LIKE THAT OF A WOMAN SCORNED. Thanks for sharing QUEEN .

[@lmarie8611]

It wasn't "the second he gets to the top". They'd had years of a beautiful home, vacations, a ski condo, trips to Europe, expensive clothes. Betty wasn't exactly a sweetheart to him during those years.
