My best friends sister went through everything that Betty did….she worked her a$$ of and put her husband through school and once he became a rich, successful architect, he traded her in for a younger version. She ended up having a nervous breakdown, hospitalized for months for treatment and while she was in the hospital, he took advantage of that to gain custody of their five year old child. Though she didn’t murder him and his new young wife, she did take her daughter and ran with her. She served some time for doing that and was lucky that she didn’t get a kidnapping charge. Her ex and his new wife literally rubbed their new extravagant lifestyle in her face for years. She finally moved far away from them once she realized that she couldn’t have her child back, went back to school, met and married a much nicer and more successful man than her ex and had a great life. Her daughter came back to her when she became of age and she had so much hate towards her father for keeping her away from her mother. They now have a wonderful relationship. Her daughter is now married and had a child of her own. My heart goes out to Betty. Murder is wrong, 100%, however I can see how a person can be driven to do the unthinkable when their life collapses around them and another person steps in and takes over their life.

[@Carolina-uf2ip]

I think you need to watch the whole trial. Her friend that is speaking on her here was a ride or die friend, stood by her no matter what. Betty was proven a liar in everything she claimed. She NEVER wanted her kids. She fired one lawyer cause he filed motions to get them when she hadn’t told him to. She also told her husband at the beginning that if he gave her a million dollars she’d walk away from it all. He tried to not file restraining orders against her but she would not stop harassing them. The way she spoke to her kids was horrendous, that’s why they have such animosity to their mom. That trial showed her for who she was and the prosecution tore her story to pieces, the therapists disclosed what was told to them, she didn’t love him, he was money to her and he OWED her, she couldn’t handle that he left her because he took an image from her. Her own children discounted most of what she said about Dan. I was on her side till the trial, by the time all was revealed I couldn’t stand to hear her voice.

I believe the divorce laws were different then and he knew how to manipulate the system. He was a total POS. The deduction of her support shows just how controlling he was. He had the affair, she made a lot of scarifices to help him succeed, he should have given her the house and the kids. He never seemed to have an interest in his kids before the split.

Both of them are at fault, but Dan and Linda should never have been murdered. I understand that Betty gave a lot of her life to support Dan through school etc., but, she should have just left with the $16,000 a month for her, and with the kids, Dan would have had to pay more for child support. So she would have been pretty well off, and she was still beautiful, she would have had no problem getting another man.

[@SkipSpotter]

BB was pushed and pushed towards the edge, until she snapped. What BB ended up doing was very wrong in the eyes of the public of the time, but taking all things into account [that were detailed in court] it's not so hard to understand what can make people in certain relationships snap. The couple knew each other perhaps too well, if that's possible, and certainly knew how to push each others buttons. This documentary is not the best available as the retelling is not the most detailed I've seen, and the acting is not good enough in the playbacks to give the viewer much of a connection to the story. But, at least it gives a half decent entertaining 44 minutes in which to explain what happened. The best TV movie to date, if people want to follow the story in it's entirety has got to be the TV movie - A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story - Staring Meredith Baxter, Stephen Collins, 1992 ]. I am still giving a positive thumbs up to this BEYOND CRIME channel, as I've followed it for a while, and it's one of the better crime channels out of the many that are on YT. Have a sweet day.

He made her doing this. She sacrificed everything to him, it shows how much she loved him. When at last he did something of himself, he goes flirting around and destroys her. He should have honoured her for all these years she gave for him and divorce righteously instead of taking everything from her. Kids have also forgotten what she did for them and how their father was not taking care of them. He took everything from her. I would certainly lose it if something alike would have happened to me. I I don't think she is a threat to the society. Obviously she was devoted and liked before he betrayed her and put her under the buss. Linda, she should know better than to have an affair with a married man with kids. No one deserved to die, but she Betty did not deserve to be treated like trash after all she went through for her family. I am heartbroken to know that her kids, those she fought for, those she gave everything, those she raised, turned their back on her. Ungrateful kids. They have become like their father, in their nice house and rich life while their mother was treated like trash... It is a tragedy and I think she should be relieved. Thinks yourself, it has been at least one time, when your husband/partner did something which made you mad, and you just wanted to kill him. The pain she felt drove her to rage and she did it. But she would not have become like this without him pushing her to the limit.

Dan appears to have narcissistic traits, and only a person who has had a narcissistic spouse can fully understand the way it messes up your mind and literally destroys you. They have control over every aspect of your life; punishments such as denying her, her independence by with holding money for cussing, and access to her children, which would've helped her rebuild her self-esteem; he intentionally kept her insecure, and mentally on the edge. Narcissists know exactly how to destroy the mental, emotional and physical well-being of their victims who generally are unaware what is happening to them. Know the red flags and run fast and far away from sadistic, toxic narcissistic people. Narcissism is recognized as a personality disorder today and it has degrees of cruelty; it results from childhood trauma.

Betty's own family were not supportive. Where would she have gone? She spiralled out of control coz Dan planned the divorce in such a way that left her with no one. He didnt even grant the custody of his kids; he never took care of his kids; it was Betty. So yes, I am glad she killed both of them. They deserved to die. The price she paid for loving someone.

Out of her 9 pregnancies, they only had 4 children. Having that amount of miscarriages shatters a woman. He was a classic narcissist - what he made her go through was downright evil. Threw her away like garbage at the time when she thought he’d finally be home, he’d finally be a proper dad.. he took the floor beneath her feet, took her children away & used his knowledge of the law & her personality to completely shatter her. The netflix show portrayed them accurately & watching it, breaks ur heart.

I will always side with Betty....ALWAYS. There's only so many times you can poke the Bear....❤

[@emperorpatrisia5771]

I actually feel a bit angry towards her kids.

[@vedUtube236]

When I saw her husband moving post gun shooting, I was like no he shouldn't live. I don't want to think like this but he was narcissistic bully, he was using his position to rip Betty in all ways.

[@DrikkiVyvi]

She said she was a virgin on their wedding night and he was really rough and didnt respect that.

[@daliahpitter2737]

I feel sorry for Betty. However It might have seemed as if Dan and Linda had it all. But time would have shown who Linda really was. She would have probably gotten tired of Dan and dumped him.

[@user-zz5wr6nt1g]

unlikely, he had money

[@trnigyul]

I especially don't feel sorry for Linda. She not only got involved with a horrid married man, she taunted his wife and made fun of her looks, weight, age. Terrible woman, she learned that day.

[@mg79277]

I know this comment was written a year ago but as far as Linda the mistress is concerned She wasn’t lying to a husband or cheating on a husband. HE DID THAT. He lied and betrayed Betty over and over again. He, being a deceiving lying narcissist would have left Linda in the same way he left Betty the moment she got older the moment life became less shiny and exciting. He would have cheated with again a younger woman that he would love bomb into believing more lies.

[@noravasquez3898]

Betrayed Betty....I can not blame you!

[@colleenvozella4401]

We weren't there but I wonder if Dan and his new wife would have stayed married if this aweful crime wasn't committed? Was all the hurt and the ultimate result worth it?

[@Negresse.La.]

Yupppp she did support him, she basically made him she paid off all his freaking loans!!! Wtf I would be fucking mad too!!!!

[@Wildrover82]

If this is an accurate depiction of what really happened, I'm fully with Betty. Dan clearly had to go...

[@Jordysegs89]

Honestly I feel so much for Betty. He destroyed Betty and neglected his kids until it was convenient for him to have them

[@foxxycleopatra615]

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. This guy was a total asshole. He used her for years, disrespected her, humiliated her, gaslighted her then snatched the children SHE raised?? He treated her horribly. Without her he wouldn’t have been Mr Big Rich Lawyer. This horrible emotional abuse caused her to snap. I don’t feel bad for him. She doesn’t deserve to rot in jail for this. Never ever be a nurse or a purse for anyone. They’ll take and leave you w nothing! Some wise woman posted that and I’ve taken it to heart

[@user-vn7hu5yz9p]

I've watched this over 4 times and yes they both got what they deserved!! This should be a lesson for all persons young or old male or female don't get in between people's marriages respect them and you won't have to worry about this happening to you!!

[@snb6642]

Wow. Dan was a cold-hearted POS and Linda was a on the "s..tty" side. As for Linda, she didn't stop to think that he would have eventually done the same to her one day.

[@KikumaruXFuji]

He deserved the worst, just sad that Betty had to suffer the consequences. I wish her children can experience what she experienced.

[@ammygador6007]

Betty deserves to be free..he broked her

[@joyyahoo]

Well done Betty, just to warn all the women out there. Never sacrifice too much on a guy cause it will make you go crazy.

[@Kiewskaja]

I think they got what they deserved. Unfortunately I don't feel sorry for them. 🤷🏻I am only very sorry for the kids.

[@memi4586]

I wouldn't even say "unfortunately"

[@stss2442]

Says a woman. Death for cheating? We could add lots of death sentences then for other things...

[@Kiewskaja]

@@stss2442 there is more to it than just cheating

[@stss2442]

@@KiewskajaSo death then? Seriously?!

[@marilynvallance]

@@stss2442 If guns were not so easily available in the good ol’ US of A, they wouldn’t be dead.

[@ericapodcast]

I think her son is same person as his died father. Betty deserves to be free!!!

[@michealwolff8437]

I've seen this story on other progams I support her a person has to not allow themselves to treated that way. At all costs

[@andyvankerkhove6902]

and killing is the answer....

[@leanderrowe2800]

On hindsight, if I were her, after the hung jury in the first trial, I would make a deal with the prosecutor on a lesser charge, and also express some remorse (even though I have zero sympathy for both Dan and Linda) so I can get out of jail.

[@alwayshappy1971]

Agree. I completely understand her when she still thinks that they have deserved it and does not feel remorse because I would think the same in her place. But she had to play smart to come out of prison and enjoy the life at least for a while before she leaves the earth.

[@leanderrowe2800]

@@alwayshappy1971 Exactly, why spend the rest of her life in prison when, as you put it, she can play smart to get out. No judge or parole panels would think she is dangerous to the society. Just express remorse and get out to be with her family. Wish someone would tell her that.

[@mayameta2350]

What you’re forgetting is that if she showed any remorse then all that she did and fought for was for nothing

[@valeriehayes5555]

you cannot force someone to love you. how many men support a woman for years and then get dumped?

[@margaretroselle8610]

Be angry but sin not.

[@karenmurray4608]

Her husband was very manipulative. Using the system to hurt her. No wonder she was so upset. Terrible man!!

[@julika1984]

Her kids should shut up thats what she gets for raising them to testify against her still. Ungrateful kids

[@mg79277]

The reason this story resonates today is because we’re learning so much about narcissists today and how everyone of them behaves the exact same way

[@soulgeistsearch]

their marriage were going nowhere and their expectations of a marriage was totally different ... Lessons learned: never ever invest in a relationship when expectations are totally different ...

Betty went SNAP BANG

[@lmichaelson2000]

Shame on the prosecutors, the judge and the jury for the way they handled Betty's trial. Shame on the children for siding with Dan after it was Betty who was fighting for them their father did not care about them he only wanted them just so Betty wouldn't have them. Shame on all of them. Dan and his whore Linda deserved everything they got. My only regret is that they did not suffer long enough before dying!

[@farnooshkhaloe5278]

Feel sorry for Betty and nothing for the cheating husband and his mistress.

[@sev29]

How typical, she fends for the family, she puts up with the long education, the long work hours, the absent father and absent husband and guess what? He upgrades to a younger, more fun, less stressed version of his wife. He definitely isn't getting any sympathy..

[@mimaabdul9459]

Pleas free her
