A Hollywood Con Woman

We now know what Jen said to Ben at the Grammy’s. I know the only thing Brandi Glanville can do to work again in reality TV. RHONJ premiered, and I still don’t understand why Joe and Melissa are mad at Teresa. Madonna likes her look and doesn’t care if you don’t! Harry and Megan are now into rom-coms. Should the police be held responsible for Gabby Petito’s death? Then I interviewed Joumana Kidd, who was just on American Greed. After divorcing an NBA player, she and her kids move to LA. She thinks she has found the perfect assistant to help with her, but instead, she unknowingly hires a sophisticated, convicted con woman who turns her life and her finances upside down.

Heather heads up, I think you need to do a story about Ryan Upchurch, he’s a Country rapper, his mother embezzled millions of dollars from him, and bought houses with his money but put her name of the deeds, the brothers broke into his studio and trashed it, the dad is also involved, it’s a mess and very sad situation

Yesss it is so crazy

Isn’t he a real POS though? Like that all sucks but doesn’t he suck too?

[@lookingcloser]

Joumana seems like such a sweet person-loved this episode and this guest!

[@007nadineL]

She takes no responsibility for her own actions.

[@rebeccadawn7]

This is random but back in 2001, Jason Kidd pleaded guilty to domestic abuse after assaulting Joumana. Right after this Jason & the Nets played a game in Boston with Joumana and kids sitting court side the crowd started chanting "wife beater". I hadn't thought about this until I saw her on today's show - and just want to say she was a class act after that unfortunate event.

[@HH-gv8mx]

Is Jason Kidd black? I don’t know who this basketball player is

One other thing about the Villages Heather….a few years ago they had the highest number of STD’s in Florida, maybe in the US. I’m a nurse & I worked very near there as a travel nurse. They had an outbreak of chlamydia or something

Heather your guest should check the liquor license for that restaurant to see if it's in your guests name. There is NO way someone with the criminal background such as the con has would ever be given a liquor license.

Yay Juicy Scoop! This story was a little confusing, I feel like we started in the middle? She seems nice but she has so much money that she has money managers and assistants taking care of her kids, no clue about her own finances, what is she doing all day? I feel like we needed more general context here

[@crystalmesser6902]

I said the same thing. Not the best guest episode. I was looking forward to another regular. Heather needs to focus on what makes this podcast great ... Chris lol

[@katrina6555]

@@tonyaa8738 yes definitely!

[@I.m_Your_Fave]

Yes. There was no solid introduction. I don’t watch American Greed and I didn’t know who this was. I needed more set-up for what I was about to hear. It is a bit disjointed and hard to follow, but I get the gist.

[@meanjean3023]

@@tonyaa8738 the American Greed episode doesn’t delve any deeper either. In fact, I was baffled the whole time - she just made excuses for all her behaviour. Even if she thought it was only 1 card with 30,000 gone - isn’t that enough??? 😂😂 Her money manager was constantly calling telling her to stop spending - AFTER - she knew this woman stole her money and she acted terribly confused - thinking her kids were spending too much - her trip to Paris was too much - it’s was ridiculous! I don’t know if it’s because she had everything done for her before - but that’s not an excuse. There was red flags everywhere!

[@laneybop1728]

These cons really need harsher jail time for all the damage they do! Something has to make all this scamming stop- it’s becoming way too common that a scammer lives it up for years then takes a short break in jail before starting again!

[@truemvp27]

Can you imagine choosing fame and a stupid show over family? Both Teresa and Joe have done that. So sad.

[@celestesharp6120]

If they had a bad relationship to begin with, it's more on Joe and Melissa for knowing they had a strained relationship, so even if Melissa was on the show...but Joe should have refused to be on the show.

[@CapeCod_y2k]

Yeah sadly some people just want fake and become addicted to the game and will do anything to keep it.

[@AllyOnHerbs]

@@celestesharp6120 they are all responsible, they all have/had choices

[@celestesharp6120]

@@AllyOnHerbs I agree, but Theresa Guidice was already famous because of the show and Melissa Gorga knew of the jealousy, competition and resentment between Joe and Theresa. She also preyed on Theresa and Joe's greed by lobbying behind the scenes to get on the show due to her own greed. For Joe and Theresa this is the norm. (So, Theresa was supposed to quit?) Everyone inolved from Theresa to Joe to Melissa to Andy Cohen to The Real Housewives to the Network to the fans (for supporting the show by watching the show which brings in the money that keep the show on, I don't watch) to the advertisers who pay to keep the show on. I blame all the players, I just blame Joe and Melissa more.

I enjoy Carlos King but he is NOT a credible source. He promotes his friends narrative (in this case, Teresa). And he talks from both sides of his mouth. I watched him talk about Curtis Hamilton on Juicy Scoop then I watched him with Curtis as a guest on his show and wao.

[@tonyaa8738]

Plus, he was fired from RHOA because he was the one that told Phaedra that Kandi and Todd wanted to drug and rape Porsha. He was the root of that mess for “good tv”

What do you mean we don't know why Melissa and Joe are mad at Teresa? Louie's family were in the wedding. Teresa's family were not. Also, Teresa is that woman who NEVER likes whoever her brother marries. She never liked Melissa. Btw, they all tell lies. The producers too, often tell lies. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

This woman sounds so much like me except in my case the criminal was my sociopathic first husband (actually diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder which meant he felt entitled to keep everything we had built together over our ten year marriage. When I had a sudden health crisis that it was a miracle I even survived he saw it as the perfect opportunity to carry out his elaborate plan to rob me blind, framing me for crimes he was committing, taking out loans in my name, liquidating our assets, cooking the books for our business, and laundering the money and telling everyone that it was me doing it when I had no idea what was even happening.Not until the damage had been done, and the truth was undeniable could I accept that I built a life around a person who wouldn't stop his cruelty even after driving our eldest son to an early grave in 2016, fifteen years after he nearly killed me. To this day no one knows what was really going on, and by now it's clear that he believes his own lies.

something to consider about Leonardo DiCaprio, dating a 19-year-old girl… He was a child actor and grew up in the industry. Typically child actors are terribly abused within the industry and grow up and have way worse “preferences”. At least they are legally consenting adult women and not underage girls and little boys.

The ex mrs Kidd has a hard time explaining any of her story, I don’t know if it’s that she is ill-equipped or her vocabulary is just super limited but the details are so unclear all I heard was “you know” a million times. I believe she was ripped off and that she is super nice, but it’s like she glosses over and doesn’t know details that are just general knowledge of day to day life skills. Like she doesn’t know this woman’s husbands name and she was talking to her every day for years? and went to her wedding shower and wedding reception? Seriously the way she speaks she should not even mingle with society she is a walking target because she doesn’t know anything and has tons of money. Wow.
