Remember The Jenny Jones Show? This 1993 Episode Featured a Man Who Wouldn't Leave His Ex-Wife Alone

The Jenny Jones Show is an American first-run syndicated talk show hosted by television presenter Jenny Jones. Taped in Chicago, Illinois, the show ran for twelve seasons from September 16, 1991, to May 21, 2003. Conceived as an alternative to the sensational tabloid talk shows of the early 1990s, the show's first season primarily focused on celebrity interviews and lifestyle segments. Following mild ratings, the show shifted to a new format for its second season; it centered on interviews with everyday people. Episodes typically involved emotional or provocative topics, which were discussed among a panel of guests who had varying viewpoints. These discussions were moderated by Jones, who allowed studio audience members the opportunity to ask questions and give advice to the guests. The Jenny Jones Show frequently featured live musical performances from artists of various genres.
The Jenny Jones Show was produced by Telepictures Productions and distributed by Warner Bros. Television Studios. A former stand-up comedian, Jones was approached by Warner Bros. Television Studios with an offer to host a talk show after producers watched her "Girl's Night Out" comedy show. The show debuted on 178 television stations nationwide, which was the largest launch in syndicated talk show history. The Jenny Jones Show was one of the highest-rated talk shows of the nineties. It received the Excellence in Media’s Silver Angel Award and two SHINE Awards. However, the show also received criticism from media commentators and audiences over claims that it exploited its guests. Common topics discussed on the show included makeovers and out-of-control teenagers.
In 1995, The Jenny Jones Show experienced controversy after a former guest murdered another three days after they were featured in a taping of the show. Titled "Revealing Same Sex Secret Crush", the episode depicted self-proclaimed secret admirers revealing their crushes to guests. Jones was required to testify at the ensuing criminal trial, which received wide coverage by the news media. In 1996, the victim's family filed a negligence lawsuit against The Jenny Jones Show. The litigation resulted in a national media frenzy, with criticism directed at the use of "ambush" tactics by tabloid talk shows. It additionally resulted in a national debate over shock value and tabloid television in the United States. The Jenny Jones Show ultimately prevailed in the suit, in which the court held that the guest's actions following their appearance on the program were unforeseeable.
The Jenny Jones Show is a talk show hosted by television presenter Jenny Jones. The show depicted unscripted discussions led by Jones, with frequent participation from members of the studio audience. In its first season, the show predominately focused on human-interest stories; Jones hosted exercise, cooking, and fashion segments in addition to having discussions on topics meant to appeal to women, such as sex, divorce, and dieting. Jones regularly interviewed celebrity guests, such as Martha Stewart and Ivana Trump, who sometimes assisted with these segments. The show additionally featured several recurring segments, which further encouraged audience participation. In "Purse Check", Jones asked audience members to search their purses for a specific item; whoever produced the item first received $100. "Jenny's Male Bag" asked male viewers to write in with their pet peeves, while "Jenny's Baby Book" asked viewers to send in their baby photos. Finally, "Take a Bow" highlighted a person who had done something special for their local community.[1] After the show averaged mild ratings for its first season, The Jenny Jones Show shifted to a new format with its second season.
Beginning with its second season, The Jenny Jones Show featured single-topic episodes, often sensational in nature, with increased audience participation. The topics varied throughout the show's run, although common subject matters included paternity tests, makeovers, and unruly teenagers. While the show still occasionally featured celebrity interviews, most episodes depicted a discussion with a panel of guests, which consisted of everyday people. These guests were often split into separate segments, with each segment focusing on the respective guest's story. While a guest shared their relevant experiences and viewpoints, the other guests were backstage in a green room. Following each segment, Jones called on subsequent guests to enter the stage and join the discussion. Jones moderated these discussions, in which she allowed the studio audience the ability to ask questions and offer advice to the guests. The show had several recurring guests, who were invited to appear as advisors in certain episodes. For example, Rude Jude made appearances in several episodes about bullying while Sergeant Raymond Moses often appeared in episodes about boot camps for out-of-control teenagers.

[@iwillseeyousoongreen2567]

Great point !!!!!

[@Anchor5777]

There is a way to force him to move out and get a restraining order and that is called a Lawyer. Maybe it isn't a cost she is willing to pay. She can also move out but she'd need to get an attorney so that he doesn't press charges and say that she kidnapped their kids. I left an abuser so why can't she do that?

[@MsBoutte19]

Gurl bye, that fool wouldn’t be no we’re near me nor my kids! On God 🤞🏾
