“Betrayal: The Perfect Husband” streams July 11 on Hulu

[@AmorDivino-e5q]

My ex partner asked me once, to perform a trio with he ,me,and one of my female students. He was a psycho and I immediately left him. This life really is full of surprises,some are good,but others are terrible. Always beware.

[@philosopher2king]

I kept watching it, thinking I was missing something, because they REALLY built up the tension initially as to what his crimes were. But the doc boils down to a woman feeling cheated on. None of that is cool, of course, but they devote less reel time to the high school students he assaulted (the real crime) than Jen. This doc is mostly about how she felt cheated when she thought she was with the perfect guy.

[@betsylaughlin8652]

I almost agree, but my main gripe is that it should not have been 3 episodes bc that required repetitive time filling. It seemed to me though that the story built very naturally: a false sense of normalcy established in the first ep, the second ep dedicated to discovery of the criminal accusation which was initially questioned but then backed up by the evidence of pathological serial deviant sexual behavior with adult women, and finally the culmination in the 3rd ep of the ultimate “betrayal”, which is what the series is named for: his criminal escalation of statutory rape against a minor over whom he had significant power. The third ep is what it all build towards, and is named for this final escalation, as it references crossing THE line. This story was well told, but a bit overlong. The inclusion of the first 2 eps were the stage to build towards the horrific final act. This man is a monster, I cannot fathom that he only gets a maximum of 5 years behind bars, bc it’s probably less with “good behavior”. He’s going to be dangerous for life and the only thing stopping him is that he’s now infamous bc of all these shows. It’s our only defense against the fact that he will be released, and uncured of his sick deviancy.

[@montsesalazar6457]

From what I know, the victim who brought up the charges didn’t want to be featured in the series.

[@merilaescobar]

Yep!!! And still sent this ped(o) commissary 🤢

[@topher-uq9tf]

the podcast “betrayal” goes into a lot more details and they interview the student. i would recommend that

[@adilleon6107]

The wife : me me me me me me me for three episodes.

[@FreshSpecimens]

🤣 I am only on the first episode and am finding it difficult to listen to this awful woman and the podcast lady. I can see how someone like her got snowed by this guy with probably little effort on his part.

[@arkangelarkangel1302]

Exactly... I thought she was the dummy 🤣 BLINDED BY LOVE 😢😅😂😢😂

It's called an autobiographical documentary.

[@yellowbug5113]

I agree. Jen started to get on my nerves. She has issues too.

[@FaithandNova]

Well she was telling her side of the story. He didn’t want to be involved in the production. It honestly only needed one episode

[@marksaguindel1903]

I couldn't finish it, she was so frustrating when she found out. I mean making a graphic timeline while he's in jail? F that move on. Unless you're waiting for more little letters

[@yellowbug5113]

Ya, she starting getting on my nerves.

[@CornerwithChanel]

I only feel sorry for the student girl. The rest of you WOMEN KNEW he was married, manipulated or not, chose to sleep with him. Of course he’s smooth talking, he played on you entertaining him and got what he wanted. Y’all are adults, hard for me to feel bad for adults. The student gets all my rage.

[@nafeesahassan5469]

some of those ladies were married themselves too🤨

[@richtheking7157]

I don’t feel sorry for any of those women except for the young high school girl he assaulted. Those other women were not angels or victims and went into the situation willingly. I bet if he was obese and broke they wouldn’t have been tricked. They got played by a player. It just goes to show that woman say they want a decent man but in practice they fall for the dog. Go figure.

[@WarPigstheHun]

It's hard for me to fault them when I too fall victim to the most beautiful women.

[@yeah_yeahwhatever]

Not to mention the self-centered "why did this happen to me"? With hair and makeup, living well, big house, successful podcast, still has a future. Some people don't have half of her blessings.

[@Marta_is_here]

Exactly, then wife judges his sexual kinks…..of all things 🤦‍♀️

[@thequeenofwitches7943]

I don't even feel bad for the student. Yes, he was wrong for getting involved with her but at 15 you are not innocent. You know wrong from right. She acted like a hoe and once she got tired of hoeing with him, she turned around and told on him.

[@ms.wilson7447]

Exactly I feel sorry for no one .. stop sleeping with married men

[@kikireal793]

I just started watching this and im a little confused i guess I just have to keep watching because the affairs have nothing to do with what he is being charged with

[@lindseyb3905]

The affairs just add to how he was as a husband. He lived this horrible secret life and it included sleeping with his student

[@kikireal793]

@@lindseyb3905 well they should have focused more on his crimes instead of his cheating

[@PatriciaECodingOver40]

You ain't confused. Its a non story, super boring and basically about a white woman making herself this huge victim over cheating that happens all the time everywhere.

[@llhannah9297]

@@kikireal793 They actually have everything to do with his crimes. It shows he was deviant and how his behavior escalated. It's not just about the crime he committed but how he was basically a psychopath in plain sight for years.

[@pe2062]

Nah, Kiki, you got this for real. Don't let the other commenters gaslight you into thinking listening to a white woman cry about her life is more important than it is,, there is NO cliff hanger or anvil drop. The most interesting part of this was listening to the child victim Rachel, who is in the last 30 minutes of the last episode.

[@K4SVT2010]

This was my video production teacher..and I was at that high school too

[@WarPigstheHun]

My former teacher was also a child sexual predator.

[@WarPigstheHun]

Small world :(

[@pe2062]

I am so sorry. You kids did not deserve that at all. I wish Jen would have highlighted the real victims here, y'all, rather than make this a narcissistic project for her obsessed self making bad decisions.

[@tammiemcinnis4971]

Watched the whole story. I had a partner with a double life also. Kinda developed a sickness and watched topics on tv as much as I could get my hands on. It cuts very deep. You start to doubt your judgment of people. You never fully feel as close as you want to with someone cause you are always a little guarded. I felt sick to my stomach watching what you had to go through. How it must have been the worst feeling ever. Thank you for being so open with people.

[@JB2FROSTY]

How dare you not blur out the faces of those who have no involvement in this.

[@whitefawn01]

I've known a narcissist, I was shocked that he could adopt a persona with each person he met. I caught him telling our story to someone as his own? Did this "man" not have his own personality he had to absorb all these other people's personalities? So crazy, it blew my mind. Was he completely soulless? 🤔😮‍💨😪

Does anyone know how to watch this in Canada? It looks good.

[@brenainnstrange]

Thanks but we don't get Hulu in Canada. I'll see if I can stream it from somewhere.

[@PatriciaECodingOver40]

Its not good. Your time would be better spent listening ti any of your friends tell you about their men cheating on them. This is literally a hyped up version of that.

[@auto1nfanticid3]

its trash, dont watch it

[@philosopher2king]

@brenainnstrange2797 It’s not a good documentary at all. They really over sold it, building up to the tension to what his crime was, but like someone else said, they focus more on his cheating on his wife, as opposed to sleeping with high school students. I kept watching it, thinking I was missing something, but the doc boils down to a woman feeling betrayed.

[@yeah_yeahwhatever]

I'm watching this now and I think about women who have fallen victim to assault globally in various ways. This story is intriguing and tragic, but it also seems like a self-indulgent, rich white woman story about how she got robbed of her fantasy life.

[@candis1203]

first off I got so sick of every time she used the word SOULMATE, MAGICAL, AND WE WERE MEANT TO BE TOGETHER...wake up honey those things don't exist!!! He was cheating on you with two or three women for years at a time and you didn't notice...or you had your head buried in the sand is more like it. WE HAD THE PERFECT MARRIAGE...NOONE HAS THE PERFECT MARRIAGE. You just didn't want to see what he was doing, he is a sexual deviant, narcissist, sociopath, liar and pig, but OMG he is so perfect. My heart goes out to you of course and to the other women that he manipulated and conned some of his text messages I have seen from an ex too who was very good at making me feel like I was the only one in the world too and I get it. It by no means excuses what he has done, and I hope he has a special place in Hell reserved for him.....thank God Rachel spoke up because I am 100% sure he would have escalated to more violent crimes as he went on and that may have lead to Rape and possibly murder. You are all brave women, and you deserve a lot of credit for telling your stories... live life to the fullest and maybe get a dog they are way better than men.

She's a producer in hollywood and couldn't afford a $ 50 thousand bail, according to her; plus, she ended up living in a friend's basement? WTF- Something is wrong here- While I feel bad for her, I feel she is using her story only to fully makey money and a story.

[@Atl_Boi_73]

I believe she thought they were soul mates, but I don't know if he did. Who was the first wife a runner up. I guess his clock was ticking, so he married the first time. There was only one choice for me. If I hadn't got my wife, being single was a breeze.

This Mom suxks too!!! I was fooled at the beginning. Then hearing how she supported him in jail?!?? So gross on her part, too

[@lwray0311]

He's very wrong & deserves all the time he got plus some. But he's a narcissistic sex addict. That is an addiction. His mental narcissism is a mental condition. He won't change, he'll go back to being the same as he's out of jail. But for his ex wife to call him years later in jail asking him questions, looking for answers & closure she knowingly isn't going to get due to his mentality, just tells me that, although, she wants to be over him, she's really not. She'll stay away & she's over being with him & moving on, but her heart isn't there yet.

[@chriskopeikin2702]

Sooooo dramatic these people, the daughter quit her job, school, sports all that. Why did her mom allow that. I believe the mother turned her daughter into a victim instead of empowering her to be strong and overcome this. His statement was no less sincere that the victims, he was only given that much time because it’s not that serious of a crime dumbos. He was a good standup person for decades and made 1 mistake he should have a second chance, I hope some of these people make a mistake one day and get punished. The red haired mom is so dramatic saying she was terrified when he got out like he was a murder lol, her daughter wasn’t even photographed so he obviously has some remorse and control by not taking photos of all the children he was around. Are they gonna try and ride this story for the money, you can tell Avaya isn’t as traumatized as she claims and just acted that way for court and to try and get him a longer sentence. She is not being victimized over and over again, she needs to move on and stop being a victim. He did nothing violent to her, he cannot even find god and try to be better person, these people just keep saying his effort trying to change is bullshit, he is legitimately trying to change.
