- Betty Broderick first went on trial in October 1990 in San Diego for the murders of her ex-husband Dan and his second wife Linda. In both of the trials against her, Betty took the stand in her own defense. This collection of clips shows some of the things Betty testified to in the first trial in 1990 - painting her ex-husband as controlling and claiming she had no financial means after they divorced. Betty testified about the day of the murder saying she did not remember pulling the trigger and firing the five shots that resulted in the deaths of Dan and Linda. www.cbs8.com/a...
The moment you question your man if his cheating and he says "your crazy you are seeing things"....just know he is cheating.....
This was just a perfect storm....
We're living in a civilized world where you should be able to get a legal divorce without getting murdered. Crazy Betty shot a bullseye killer aim and successfully accomplished her goal and desire. This creature belongs in prison - a danger to society.
Yes but i would except it and just moved on. I would of been very happy in her situation, because of how well she got compensated in the divorce.
Right, and we as women have to make a move and quit being gas-lighted. I know it's easier than it seems but I'm 40 and I cut men off who I can't trust. If I think it...that's probably whats happening.
@@MsSexyDiva4Lyfe But we must remember marriage is a commitment not an ownership. I agree with Your Mom, $16,000 dollars per month should have been enough for her to have moved on and let him go without having to commit bloody murder. People get divorced every day, although the pain of seeing another woman with your man and bearing him new children can almost be unbearable - it's a chess game.
Hierogamos12 he did it for her! He divorced... that’s what hurt her even more!
Dan and Linda poured salt into the wound. She deserved a generous settlement and at least shared custody if not full. Dan took advantage of screwy laws like bifurcation and Epstein credits. He didn’t have to do that. If he had treated her decently to at least partially make up for dumping her, after she helped him achieve his success, he would very likely be alive today.
SherryMarion I totally agree!
I disagree, the only reason he did that, was because she was acting coo coo. She dropped all the kids off at his house.
Beautifully said. I think Dan was ungrateful for all the sacrafices Betty made over their 15 year marriage to help him achieve his high powered position in life.
@@robinsmith3987 How was he ungrateful? He fell out of love that's it.
No she said it herself, she dumped the children at his house, one by one to get back at him. He started to see she was coo coo, when she hit her truck into his house. She got into his house another time and ruined his stuff. She wouldn't stop leaving annoying messages on his phone. So that is when he decided to fight for full custody. It was her fault not his.
As soon as he got what he wanted, he looked down on her. The same women who helped through it all. She tried to be "perfect".He messed her up psychologically
It’s so true. She built her whole world around making a family and a nice home, she probably had low self-esteem and self worth to begin with. I feel really bad for her because that happens to a lot of women. She was very emotionally investedAnd willing to stand by him till he got to the top only for him, the narcissist to shun her
Her daughter is going to get hers, no matter what you always stand with your mom. Very very bad karma for her
Yes he was full of pride, think in he was now beta than her, because he was a big shot lawyer.
He compensated her well, with a 9,000 dollar check every month, and a beach house. He doesn't owe her any more then that. Does he now owe her his life?
Your mom I guess that’s all you’ve got from that 🤦🏾♀️
Saying she was a child molester ? That's vicious and cruel! Especially when her job was a teacher and to look after children including trying to get her own children back. Terrible!
because Dan lived in a section of town that was nice, manicured and had shops that were frequented by gay people Betty called it Gaytown and repeatedly called Dan a "faggot" - Betty loved to dish the shit out but cried 'victim' when it was her turn to take it.
Free Betty Broderick...
She's lying you moron
There is a law of provocation that some people have provoked others to kill them therefore some lenience by the court should play out i dont believe she had a fair Sentence she had her whole world taken away because he told her the reason was shes fat ugly boring not that he really wanted sometimes 30 years his senior some lil PYT who BTW was probably gonna have him killed off anyway and take her inheritance to her bad boy young stud drug taking boyfriend eventually so in question did berry deserve this Sentence? No has she paid her debt and dues to society? Yes is releasing her a threat to the public? No prison is not only about punishment but reform and i dont think she should say she is sorry or agree with what he did by calling her a child molester as ok she has her opinion shes not q danger to society especially at her age its costing tax payers a fortune he got only what he deserved in my opinion
No @@carolecompton9270
Gaslighting at it's worst! He got what he set out to do, drove her crazy and it backfired.
Exactly
@@shannis2011 Eggjactly
no it backfired on her because shes in prison and never getting out, dan is dead no longer suffering
@@ritagomes9186
You dont know if death in his case means no suffering, based on teaching you have to pay for your sins. In this case , all sins were committed by all participants. The only innocent in this case are the children and they paid in the worst way.
@@joannaradacina2585 you don't know if it does Dan suffering the night is speculative but what we do know is that being alive and not being able to have your freedom is worse than being dead which is what Betty is she is the only one that is actually suffering because she has the rest of her life just to rot away in prison
She worked to help put him through med school & law school. Not a kind husband.
COMPLETE ASSHOLE IF YOU ASK ME!
Betty is so pretty
Is that true though?
The husband was disloyal..
You are right but it does not warrant MURDER.
You can’t beat a chained dog and think it won’t bite you.
How did he wrong her? By leaving her?? He wasn't coming to her house destroying things and acting crazy towards her.
@@johnross6786 he was crazy.
@@johnross6786 Yes, he did. He destroyed her house, her home, her soul
Wow let's all praise the crazy murderer.🤦♂️🤦♂️
@J Moore It's a username Moron.😂 People on the internet have them. There's thousands of people on the internet having king in their profile, that doesn't actually make them one.🤦♂️
I quote one of the jurors at her first trial. “ what took her so long? “. He was a narcissist person who drove her mad. Linda should have never had an affair with a married man! Period!
Wow the jurors really said that? But she was kinda a h o for sure. You know like typical a gold digger & uneducated young women who end up had affair with rich married men.
Absolutely agree
She was a homewrecker! Play with fire you get burned.
My husband left me for a 19 year old. That poor girl had seven years of hell with my ex. Karma hits hard.
@@becky4728 They deserved each other. Him leaving you was his loss. Take care. 😊
Lesson learned: If a man wants to marry you without having the foundation for his career completed, tell him no, not until he is finished with school. Unless of course you want to be the one working and taking care of everything only to find out you don’t actually fit into the “new life”.
Exactly, so Sad
So he is allowed to get out if he wants to. He compensated her well, with a 9,000 check and a nice beach house, i would of been super happy.
Your mom That is right. He is allowed to get out. My point is that you really shouldn’t marry a man that needs you to support him while he chases his dream because there is no guarantee you will both reap those benefits. She thought she would be rewarded for her sacrifices. You are mistaken regarding the settlement. She did not own the home and the monthly alimony was temporary. Dan could take her back to court at any time to change her living arrangements and reduce the support payment. It is very well known that Dan also hid assets so he wouldn’t have to share them with her. I am not defending her, but these are just some facts that led to her behavior.
@@jeannewantsjustice That is not what she got in the divorce settlement. Betty's biggest misjudgment was not getting a high powered divorce attorney to represent her. Dan was making $157,00 a month. Does $9,000 a month sound reasonable. Betty deserved a better settlement. Dan was greedy, he sold their martial home out from under her, Her car was in his name. As was everything.
Your mom he was earning an average of 127,000 A MONTH. Most of us can’t imagine that - but 9,000 was not nearly fair. Also he played police officer and „fined“ her - 500, 1,000 USd for „offences“ like calling his house, showing up unannounced (mostly because the nanny called her because of issues with the kids), for insults etc - oftentimes resulting in negative sums (not only not paying her a dime from the 9,000 but claiming she owed him that month). That man abused and humiliated the woman he d not have been the hot shot lawyer without - and definitely paid for his sins.
This is a classic example
of a narcissist tormenting his wife who he totally used for his own means...karma
She should spend the whole days of her life behind bars
And linda was only with him for his money. She thought she was going to inherit everything he ever owned. Both terrible people.
@@melisentiapheiffer3034 yes, I totally agree with you
@sweet honey how so?
@@melisentiapheiffer3034 linda only after his money. And for dan was all about lust for linda. terrible people.
He used her from the beginning. She sacrificed everything for him. He was a lawyer AND a Dr. He did this to all three of them. It’s not right what she did at all, but HE did drive her to it. She still loved him he had no respect or compassion at all for her. He was sooo in her face. Unless you go through this yourself, you can’t understand. It’s horrible.
SMH all of you ladies who are defending this double murderer scare me. Reminder to self... Never read comments again
Just because He is the MAN.. doesnt mean He did NOT earn his accomplishment himself.
If the roles turned. If Betty achived all that, when the husband stay at home supporting the kid, the whooole world would protect Betty and told her how She EARNED all that herself and to mot share her wealth to him.
Believe you me
Betty is accountable for her craziness.
Even her kids said Dan was a good father
Sandra Arocha I hear that sister... mental abuse can drive you to the deepest depths of hell .... you can’t abuse someone purposely to make them look nuts for your own benefit and get away with it... and if u do in this life you’ll pay in the next.... she should be released do to mental cruelty...
John Ross figures..... only a man would suggest such a comment.... let me gaslight the shit out of u for years and see what a sane person you become... you’d be out of your mind too... try walking in others shoes you have no clue what you would turn into if you have never been so psychologically tormented.... the mind is a fragile thing when fucked with daily.. all you narcissists should know that by now... 💩
shabrina z because DAN turned them against her HELLOOOOOOOO.......
Her story is my story except that I didn't do what she did. But I understand her pain. And those kids who sided with the husband and never understood her pain..
You never lived with her. You didn’t live their lives. I would’ve sided with my dad too if my crazy mom who abandoned me suddenly left her BOYFRIEND in bed to come kill my dad. Betty made it bad for everyone. Her daughter wrote a book. Betty didn’t go crazy from the divorce, she was already crazy. Everyone just feels bad for her because her husband’s new wife was younger.
@@alexrose8299 I totally agree. I grew up in the 90s watching similar events at home. People ignore the whole craziness part. Just because someone is married it doesn't mean that things can go out of control. Narcissistic Personality Disorder is so real and they are incapable of love. They talk like the victims but their actions prove otherwise. They live life by "I want what I want".
yes agree with you ..... i think the kids were manipulated ..they were young and didnt understand the mother's pain
How about their pain
She was abusive to them and killed their father remorseless
He turned her into a typical 1950's house wife she became dependent on him wanted to be perfect for him, he was her whole world then he dumps her for a younger woman?!?! That pushed her over the edge! Then he totally screws her over in the divorce? I understand why she snapped! He didn't deserve to die but sometimes that's the only way to stop the insanity
I agree
I agree. And I know she's took 2 lives .... However, I feel,it's time to release her from prison. I feel she's paid her debt to society, considering the part he played in her mental breakdown.
I agree too she needs to be released! Its sad what happened and I know there's 2 sides to every story but I've seen criminals kill in a more sinister fashion serve less time than she has and get released! I dunno why her lawyer couldn't get her an insanity plea
FashionistaChick I agree she’s not a danger to society the only ppl she ever wanted dead abd was dangerous too have been dead for 31 years it’s time to release her
@@natlovesfashion27 Yes
He drove her insane & she snapped. You can only take so much pain, I don’t agree with murder, but she snapped! She’s done so many years in prison, it’s time to release her, she is no threat to society. She has paid a huge price for the 2 murders. I wish they would release her & allow her to have some happiness with her children & grandchildren.
You don't just kill 2 people and walk.
Agree
James Boss your making racism where there is none. Your messed up. And a racist. Dummy.
@@mysslyss5001 she didn't walk...has spent past 30+ years in jail. Time to sent her free!
@@clairelivefreeordie2551 👍👍
I think him taking the kids was the final straw. She raised them for most of their life after working to put him through Ivy League medical AND law school. They were her world. His profession was his. She gave her everything to him. Everything she had internally, financially and emotionally. Then when he left her she only had her children. Then when he took her CHILDREN, she had nothing left. Nothing left to loose. Such a tragedy.
He didn't exactly take her children. She was simply falling apart emotionally. She took the children one by one and dropped them off at Dan;s. I think she was hoping with the children to look after it would change the trajectory of his new found relationship. What 22 yr old wants to look after four kids. But her plan back fired and he took her to court for full custody and won. Betty is not sorry at all that she shot and killed both of them.
It was not the final straw. She could have left him, but he did.
That killed her.
She was abused, but he left.
I totally agree I have children and divorced and I can’t imagine them leaving me. That would drive anyone to this state
She didn’t dump them! She left them with their dad for that day because all he was doing was partying and not caring for his children. Also her daughter was old enough to watch her siblings. She wasn’t underage. I don’t blame her at all for what she did.
Rawan Ghuneim actually she did. She left them on the street and drove off! She was trying to use the kids as pawns and Dan too. Dan was awful to her. I agree! But Betty also had issues! She didn’t love herself enough or she wouldn’t resort to double murder. Let’s stop justifying violence please.
Like One of the jurors said during the first trial. “ what took her so long?”
I agree!
They should have heard my story. They would have understood my killing my parents I’m sure. I didn’t do it but they certainly deserved it!!
i was shocked when i heard the phone tapes of her talking to her son. after seeing her on the stand in this clip i'm not surprised - "...and i was thinking 'jesus christ' i'm turning 42 and i've been put thru this bullshit..." what a potty mouth.
@@cecilejoubert7933 ME too! I am just glad she got them both.
You NEVER BUILD A MAN UP LADIES LEARN FROM THIS
TRUE. TRUE. TRUE
Exactly! Think of the movie Acrimony
True! Built my ex up and he dumped me for a woman from the gym, he gaslighted me as well.
Build yourself with it too yes
And always always have an idea as to how to you will manage if you're marriage ends. The minute you find out your spouse is cheating you should speak to a lawyer even if just to find out what you need to do to protect yourself.
She gave him the best years of his life. I don’t blame her.
Still no reason to take a life.
@@thadtoney4352 well considering men kill women way more I think you should talk to your own gender
@@sophiaatn5339 fuck off with your gender bullshit. This is about destroying other people.
@@thadtoney4352 maybe she shouldn't have killed him, but he was absolutely disgusting.
@@sophiaatn5339 Fuck statistics, lives were destroyed.
Dan treated her like crapola! Used her, and dumped her....She had enough and snapped! He could have stopped this!
Yes
He could have stopped this , by giving her what she wanted ? Sounds fair. Don't divorce me or I'll kill you ! Flip the roles and see how that sounds.
Yes it's true Dan became an Asshole once he became a financial success. He was trending upward and she was trending downward. So he wanted a trophy to match his new found success... But she knew her Marriage was over when he stopped having sex with her. She's the one that decided to not have any pride and was trying to hold on to something that was no longer there.
Move TF with your life Especially if you're getting 16K a month in alimony payments. Why are you still holding on to man who clearly doesn't want you anymore... she killed him because she was not gonna allow him to move on with a young beautiful woman an enjoy life while she continued to get old and Fat.
@J H Blah blah blah your a hater
@@stephkerr3540 Yes
This is why it's important to always have your own. Independence, money, and piece of mind. Poor lady is wrecked for life emotionally.
She was bringed up to be a divoted wife and supportativ to her working husband and to take care of their children and be dependend of him!! Her husband hav hade same upbinging, but he cheated on her wife and his religion! He broked the one of the 10 rules and she did , too! Religios extremism of Christians is ok, but when Muslims do that then its not ok! Like the capital punishment! Christians can do that but when Mulsims do that then its wery wrong!
Ske lived in an era when men handled all the finances and marriage vows meant something. Divorce was rare.
Every action has a reaction. He didn't count on Betty having the balls
She didn't have balls, she ambushed them, they were asleep - she's a coward.
@@haintedhouse3052 Don't be silly, as long as she is not covering her tracks, preparing the perfect murder etc, it is ballsy. Killing the hottie is of course inexcusable, her beef was with him. So ballsy but unfair and murderous. You know that I know that you know that most cheated women feel the same way towards their "successful" husbands, and the reason we don't have more of this cougar violence is not that they all value human life too much.

@@sanderkonto297 you just called a perfect stranger a bitch over a RUclips comment that was made almost a year ago. Get a life!
In my life my own brother dragged me through the system for almost 2 years and I lost everything as a result of that .I don't hate my brother nor do I want to kill him . Betty and Dan were similar intellectually therefore when Dan dumped her for younger prettier women she felt totally betrayed this I understand.. Still doesn't warrant what she did. I hope someday Betty realizes the wrong she did. Acceptance is the answer .Not acting out the way she did is childish . In conclusion she had metal disorders. Hopefully she gets proper help. Goodnight to all.
@thomasvariale209 read upon Narcissistic abuse. She reacted towards the abuse.
God it’s scary how much I see myself in this women. I can feel every feeling she’s describing
Go and see the best lawyer 👍
Go get a therapist
I think a lot of people do even if they don't admit it and act like they're better. I would want to be heard if everything was stripped away from me. It's terrible to place in her shoes. To be so desperate to be heard, to have your children back, to be treated like a pest rather than a respected past flame or a person with rights. This is a classic case of narcissist abuse. I don't justify murder, but I do understand it. Her emotions got the better of her and she snapped.
Please seek help
I hope the people in your relationships duck when you aim.
The lavish wedding of Linda and Dan was in extremely poor taste. The adulterous liaison should not have been flaunted.
nonsense - their wedding was not about Betty Broderick
@@EzaVinylAddict yeah he was a divorcee but before them he did an adulterous act
I agree. It was so in your face where Linda just took all of her friends just because those friends wanted to be close to the guy making all that money.

@@haintedhouse3052 It was about two selfish adulterous stinkers. Nothing to to do with "Betts."
She sounds like a victim of a real narcissist. I can relate. I wasted 8 years of my life on a narcissist. It is very angering and frustrating. And if you let the anger consume you, you get this. But the best revenge is to move on, in spite of the anger.

@lucaboden she found out later Linda has a affair with Dan for 5 years A married man with 4 children She didnt have to die but was a golddigger
lucaboden So what? The Bible warns against this. Messing with a married man is stupid! Play stupid games win stupid prizes!!!!!
When you make someone so important in your life, your value diminishes in his eyes. That's why she got treated like an option.
That shouldn't be the case though, not with a normal healthy relationship. He was just an ahole.
@@madamezimba1007 it is true though. once you put someone on a pedestal and give them complete control they ultimately fall out of love with you. it's called being codependent on someone and its the fastest way for a normal person to lose respect and love for you. you need to be independent and never give someone full power over you. thats never going to lead to a healthy relationship.
*Whose here because of the USA Dirty John series? I think the series is showing things from her perspective, unlike the Meredith Baxter Lifetime movie. I don't condone what she did, but I can see why she was so upset.* 💐
(And, for any of you ladies, who are going through a similar situation, just remember:
HAPPINESS IS THE BEST REVENGE! 😎
When your ex sees you with your new man! How happy you both are! He will realize what a mistake he made. Letting you go was the dumbest thing he could do! Because, you are beautiful, smart, funny, and nice! And, he is a jerk and not worth your time! PEACE!😘
You're a bright woman!
Real talk! If Betty had lost weight, started a high-paying new career, got a good looking younger man - Dan Broderick would have lost his mind. But unfortunately, real Betty was a relic from 1950's thinking. She wasn't as tough and ballsy and liberated as Meredith Baxter portrayed her. All she knew was being a suburban housewife and making babies. In real life, she got pregnant 10 times within 10 years. That marriage ending really blew her mind.
@@fwdthinker I agree with you. However, I know today something I didn't know when I was just married, that true love grows bigger as time goes by and life's sweet and sour moments build a Life between 2 people AND our shells are not as relevant as they were when we just got married.
In fact, I realize my spouse is much more than a body. We're soulmates.
I wish so much Betty and every other woman in her shoes would just walk away with her head up realizing the man is heartless and lustful and worthless.
@@fwdthinker *That and the fact that she was a devout Catholic. In the Catholic religion, you only get one man. You're supposed to stay with that man until death separates you.*
@@MsJanetWood She was raised Catholic but it's hard to tell she was devouted, otherwise she would have left everything at the foot of the cross and ask Him to grant her strength and grace.
I was also raised Catholic and I was told I had to go through the priest to reach the Lord and I spent 30 plus years trying to reach an unreachable God until Jesus Christ saved my life literally and today I know He hears me and knows me well just like He cares about everyone else. It's about an organic relationship with Him, not a religion.
I hope and pray Betty found the Lord behind bars. ♥️

He didnt take her kids away. She dropped them off at his house one by one. If she really loved her kids she wouldnt have killed their father and his new wife.
Does that make it ok to murder two people in their home?
So, that was her justification for killing him, right? You sick bastard!
@@ronweasley4767 When you look at all that happened if she didn;t kill him he would kill her. He was looking for a hitman to kill the mother of his children he really didn't care about her or his kids.
you don't drive people to insanity/murder - the capacity for homicidal violence is either in you or it's not. she was batshit waay before Dan & Linda - read up on her emotionally unavailable parents who were MIA for both her trials.
They said on every successful man there is a supportive woman behind. Dan was ungrateful to his wife. He thought highly about himself that he forgot the people around him when he has nothing.
No. He purposely targeted her and kept her pregnant and working to put him thru school then got want he really wanted and ultimately wat he really deserved
Yep
God he sounds JUST LIKE MY EX. He locked me in a mental hospital too. Gaslighting can cause tragedy.
so sorry, hope you are well now.
That’s what many men used to do to their wives when they found out he was cheating.
I'm so sorry
So so sorry. It is so cruel. I can Not Imagine how to get through this.....
You have so much ahead of you....glad you are not with him anymore
sums it up "Gaslighting at it's worst! He got what he set out to do, drove her crazy and it backfired."
This story makes me sad. She seemed like she was very devoted to her marriage and her kids. Which is very admirable. I can understand how betrayed she felt when she sacrificed and invested time into her husband’s career and kids. It’s beyond devastating and a knife on your back when you’re dumped for a younger partner and he forgets you were part of establishing his career. Any woman would feel used. I don’t know her personally. But, I wish she chose not to end their lives despite what they did to her. The greatest revenge would’ve been that she made something out of herself. She probably could’ve met someone much better. The anger and depression really can blind u
It's never right to go and murder....Is she better off now? Was it worth it to ruin everyone's Life?

This is like the movie Acrimony. Ladies, Never build a man! There's no guarantee you'll reap the benefits 🤷🏾♀️. And never give your entire being to anyone, but God and love yourself! Have a back up plan in case the relationship or marriage goes south. And the best revenge is moving on! Your life is too precious, get therapy, pray, etc just feel your feelings and then work to heal!!!
Sorry but in some cases there is no healing. There are somethings you can never get back and that includes your mental health which some men steal by their cruelty.
Tsepiso M horrible children money for them your mother should be free please free her
Finally. A wise comment. Murder is not okay!
The 8th Church not true! It’s just your subjective opinion. There’s healing if you really wanted it. Look at life in a more mindful positive outlook. It takes time but you can move on. Adopt a growth mindset.
😥
I feel for Betty - Dan was a user, a liar, a thief and a cheat; Betty didn't kill him, greed did. He no doubt felt he was winning all the battles - Betty won the war - and in my opinion she should not have had to spend all those years in prison.
She won the war; she’s in prison for 32 to life and her daughter hates her.

The new wife was the image of her, but younger. I know she killed them and it’s terrible, but I also feel for her. He may have been a narcissist, and she suffered narcissistic abuse where she didn’t have a sense of self anymore. Extreme co-dependency. They do a lot of damage.
Linda definitely looked exactly like Betty did when she was young - I mean exactly the same.
Betty disrespected dan all the time befor they divorced…documented
Her friends said she was money hungry…documented
They lived in a rental when the old house was being renovated during divorce he moved out bought her a $600,000 home
She would mutually sell the house which eventually the courts let happen she got around $150,000 while Dan got $50,000
She had a nice suv for the kids and a jaguar
A year after up until the day of the murders she Betty had a boyfriend
Dan gave her $6,000 until the judge granted her $16,000 in alimony equivalent to $30,000 a month in todays currency
Dan did not take the kids she thought if Dan had the kids it would destroy his new relationship and Dan would be less happy hence why SHE gave the kids to Dan
The kids stated they were happier when the parents were not living together
The kids told her she can see them if she stopped harassing dan and Linda…did she stop…NO… guess her hate for dan was more than the love for her kids
She still traveled and went on expensive vacations and shopping spree’s with her then boyfriend
She drove her car into dans house with her kids inside smh shame shame
She tried tearing down his character to her friends and associates
Dans parents paid for his medical schooling…dan and Betty took out loans for law school(they were married) which dan paid back
The kids don’t believe their mom
Should be out of prison which they told the parole board( if her own kids think she should be in jail why do you think she should be out)
Kids were not brainwashed they seen the evil things their mom did to harass their father like send them (the kids) family pictures with there dad x’d out call him all kinds of names after they pleaded for her to stop
Now let’s talk about what Dan did
Dan got sick of being belittled and eventually got his money up and bought himself a young woman cheated on his wife and left her…the end
He wanted to erase her from his & their children’s existence…. She erased him from tormenting her
He had all those kids with her and then left her its so irresponsible thats a jerk
So what he is allowed to get divorced.
He compensated her well. She should of just of got a life.
@@jeannewantsjustice He didn't though with what he was worth, but ok then.
Betty supported Dan to reach his position and at the end discarded her so he got exactly what he deserved... i would do the same.
😮 whoa! Who’s the fairer sex again?
then you must not have a problem shitting with your buddies in tight quarters for eternity -
(sorry for the crude language - picked it up from a taped phone call Betty made to her kid)
And you will rot in prison. Period
I agree
hainted house girl he took everything from her! He left her in her broken and BROKE AND TOOK HER KIDS! lol Like how can you not have empathy for her
Before the killing, one of their children Lee chose to stay with Betty. Guess what Dan did? Cut her off his will.
@@melanincurves7055 They were so young when he died, do you really think that is the reason? People take breaks from school all the time, and not everyone is meant to go to college. Plus, who does that just because their child might be taking a different path in life? Look at all the people graduating with useless degrees in women's studies or some other nonsense who can't get jobs now? Shameful he did that.
@@madamezimba1007 He cut her from his will because she refused to go against her mother.
Many people don't understand how narcissists function. They saw him as the primary victim but sadly she was his victim for years. She probably did not even realize what she was dealing with at the time. Unless you know what to look out for they will utterly destroy you. She was a bit unstable already and he pushed her right over the edge and took pleasure in doing so. Those who have no empathy for her have never lived under the thumb of a malignant narc. Among the variants of narcissism, however, malignant narcissists are by far the most damaging. Beyond merely wanting to focus primarily on themselves and be held in overly high regard by virtually everyone in their lives, they tend to have a darker side to their self-absorption.”
I don’t think anyone can really understand the abuse of a narcissist until they experience it personally.. I’d started wondering if I crazy too! This poor woman, I feel her pain too! ♥️
The money is irrelevant, he made a FORTUNE & he never would’ve gotten there without her. She was a wonderful mother and she was the true victim in this sad case!
Exactly!
I thought this would be an update on Betty 30 yrs later! 🤔
Me too 😂
It’s time to let Betty out of prison. It’s been 30 years, I believe she wouldn’t hurt anyone else. Betty is the perfect example of a woman who snapped.
They won’t let her out because she still feels the exact same way she did 30 years ago. She hasn’t let go of any of the hate she had for Dan or Linda during all this time she’s sat in jail. Sad. I do believe that Dan pushed her to her absolute limit and there should have been some punishment for him, but murder is never the answer.
Agree with you
$37K for clothes in one year, and back in '87?! Geeesh.
I would give her more credit if she would just come right out and say, “NO, I have ZERO remorse!” It seems clear that she still justifies the killings. When asked if she is remorseful, she always circles around the issue that she’s remorseful for all things that happened (including him cheating) blaming everyone for what happened. I get it, she was gaslighted and treated pretty horribly. If she ever wants out of prison, she needs to show remorse...but I don’t think she can stomach the thought of saying that 🤷🏻♀️
Stacey Shaffer especially with COVID
I feel sorry for this women she didn't deserve this. I know she killed 2people but I feel the way he was treating her lead up to what she did.
Exactly. He had no class and was flaunting and taunting and very ungrateful. Then he dethroned her in front of his kids with Linda. It’s too bad she couldn’t separate herself from him and just enjoy the money and upping the bills so Linda got less. Him being totally remorseless just set her off. He couldn’t be grateful for what he had. Perfect example of how anyone can become dangerous under certain conditions.
@@chineseslaves1971 Dan and Betty were toxic from day one tormenting each other during their marriage and after their divorce. A match made in hell!
Stop justifying evil
No, she’s delusional. Turns out it was all in her head, he never threatened her
Dan drove her crazy for years after all she done for him. Such a sad situation.
She got done DIRTY....her ex was waaaaayyyyy to powerful and narcissistic...I feel like the only way to “win” with someone like Dan is to disappear or kill em (killing is wrong...but I can see how she was pushed to irrational action)
I agree
Pls spare me! That lying b.... Is where she should be.
They had it coming I'm not for killing but they made her this way a person can only take so much
Lawrence Malloy so true dan and Linda were unsympathetic victims they were bothering moraless pigs
@@scottlabossiere1866 Yes
What do u do when a man leaves?
Shut the door!
Not with my fucking kids
@@kmix7928 but she was obsessed with him it says it with the show she didn’t even want custody for the kids she just wanted him she didn’t want to raise the kids without him
@@isishenderson3698 I know you don't feel sorry for him 😮 have you ever heard of temporarily insanity or crime of passion ? That shit is real he did it to hisself and that women should be free
@@kmix7928 you need to watch dirty John season 2 it shows everything
For God's sake, release her. Maybe shouldnt have killed them, but I wondered what I would have done. She's suffered enough.
I feel for Betty I just do. I cried when she lost her court hearing for spousal support. He did her so dirty Linda was absolutely vindictive
A human being can only take so much! Physical and verbal abuse is horrible to live with.
She shouldn't have done what she did but she isn't a threat to anyone. She isn't a menace to society. She should have gotten parole long ago.
Unless he was your in your family
i agree , her pain blinded her , she was the one so long to provide and one he made it he takes of and leaves her with little to nothing , sad really
@@notagrdthere's lots of men who have murdered women long after this case and they've only served ten to maybe twenty years and some are paroling today. She served her time and deserves to be out, just like the other murderers.
No parole face it betty u did plan the murder if u could not have him. No one could
Lady is goofy
So, what would happen if every one that cheated on someone would get killed?............there be five people left in this world...........probably less than that.
Freedom First OMG SHUT UP! i hate comments like this, why tf would you think it’s only about cheating? do your research, this is very degrading of you, she ain’t sitting in prison JUST cause he’s a cheater!!
Good then all the cheating f***s are gone 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Freaking jerk, he was cruel and vicious!
I feel bad for her for wasting her life for him wether it be before or after his death!
She was all used up and then he threw her! This is a lesson, put yourself, your needs first, never give up your life for anyone!
Free Betty Broderick !!
She was a good person when she work.i remember her.
I believe you I sure do
I feel so sorry for her. I can really understand how she felt.
Am I a bad person for being team Betty?🤷🏼♀️
Zenobia. You’re not alone. So many others feel the way you do!
Team Betty forever & always 👌🏻
Yeah, no. I feel for this girl 😭🤕
not bad. just sad.
Yes
When women snap , its because of a push .. she was pushed so hard that she finally shot
They’re making a new series about this case. I thought the Meredith Baxter movies were great, but I’m still looking forward to the USA channel series.
I was wondering why now for this new movie?? Meredith Baxter did a great job in 1992! @Jennifer Nelson
@@traceylennon1204 My favorite scene is when Betty drove her suburban into Dan's house...they don't make Lifetime movies like that anymore...Meridith Baxter killed it.
You should read The Twelfth Of Never by Bella Stumbo.
@@The_Whimsical_Stenographer I'm reading that now and it's so good!!
I’ve seen the old movies and the new series. I like the new series, it shows their courtship and early marriage and Betty is more sympathetic. Meredith Baxter did a great job, but of making Betty unsympathetic.
No one should be murdered. However, can’t say this wasn’t coming.
Agree.
or that you're not the happier it came
Let her out she has done her time in my opion
Poor Betty. Eventhough I don't condone murder what Dan did was despicable, and I am having a hard time having empathy towards him. And I honestly think Betty has served enough time, they should release her by now. Oh God! I Just wish her all the best!♥️
Free Betty Broderick !
The face of a sociopath when she asks the prosecutor….Why would he be afraid of me? Well he was afraid for good reason. She still sits in prison because she will not show or admit remorse. She was eligible for parole in 2010. I’ve heard men say it before. If I can’t have you no one will. Betty absolutely undoubtedly had the same mentality.
I cried through the whole series on Netflix. Dan is a disgusting, self centered, narcissist, ungrateful 😤 she didn't get any closer he pulled the rug from under her. I think anyone! Who loves so deeply and is so dependent and the coldness he treated her with would drive anyone wild. I'd say if anyone is in the position please leave! Plan ahead it's hard to let go but those kids lost both parents. Linda deserved everything she got #homewrecker
Linda was a self centered home wrecker!!
Betty had 1000 chances to get out
It's TV we have no clue what went on because she killed them
Netflix is notorious for glorifying real criminals and painting them out to be otherwise. remember, Dan wasn’t around to defend himself. He wanted a divorce and got one. You can’t make someone love you.
I loved the netflix series & it broke my heart. Such unbelievable pain, gaslighting and manipulation he put her through.
She struggled with him all the years to make him where he was... I just feel so sad abt this story ... she made him and she finished him!! I don’t blame her.
You don’t blame someone for killing an ex? Pretty messed up statement right there
That is one messed up statement, you just made. I hope the men you date reads your statement first.
Farura999 i left you a message.
it's been a year but i'm sure they still hold feminazi rallies in every major city. you'd be a great candidate.
The writer of this new podcast tries to make Betty seem nuts. She asks why can't Betty just "get over it"..... But honestly Betty got screwed over in the worst way! She supported this guy and helped make him what he was and he used her up and threw her away. I don't blame her one bit and I'm a man.
She threw herself away. Let herself go completely. No one is to blame for you doing that. She's as narcissist as he was.
I mean she did act crazy. She went from a good mom to a horrible mom. My heart still breaks hearing the one little son begging his mom to stop calling and swearing.
The little boy said on Oprah that that's what his dad told him why he couldn't live with his mom at that time. That's why he told her to stop it but he as a kid had no right to reprimand his own mother over using foul language. The father is a total disgrace.
I love that. "I Just wanted to talk to Dan, so I drove my car thru his door!"
Yeah and she just went over there to commit suicide but she killed them she is truly narsicist those poor kids
I cried so much for this woman watching her story.
5:57 Prosecutor: Is it true that you told reporters that he never touched you? Betty: Well that's not true isn't it? We have 5 children, he's obviously touched me. Me: Flatlined📈 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
Same 😅 I love Betty shes so witty ... I would’ve shot him 2 #teambetty
In the lifetime movie on Amazon prime , her friend said she’s funnier than two comedians combined. I even laughed at some of the messages she left on the voice mail.
She hasn't had any counseling, and it's a shame. It isn't easy when yr ex treats you poorly, and I also endured the "we" answering machine messages.
However, when she lit the clothing on fire, that was a huge red flag she needed to have heeded!!!!!
We are always responsible for our own behavior choices.
Saw this happen to my aunty. She was practically treated like a slave by her husband who she had 3 kids to. Years of physical, emotional and financial abuse. He was a control freak. He was having an affair and then kicked my aunt out of the house and kept the children and moved the new girlfriend into her home . And 20 years later he still has the audacity to blame my aunty for how the kids turned out! The kids know now just how evil he really is! 😏
Why do people say she “lost it”/“snapped”? She harassed them on their phone, vandalized their house, and drove her car into his house when her children were in it! I mean I’m sorry her husband dumped her. And had she sought remedy within the law, she would rightfully have everyone’s sympathy but that’s not a woman suddenly snapped.
she even took a refresher course in firearms training so she wouldn't miss. she knew exactly what she was doing.
I'm not saying it's not possible... But it always amazes me that people tend to go fuzzy and get forgetful during the moment the crime is committed. in my opinion it is just A way to minimize or attempt to minimize their responsibility. It's like someone saying I don't remember rather than saying I didn't do it.
In some cases that's true but the brain does have ways of making traumatic moments seem fuzzy. I'm a survivor of a rape and attack. I remember bits and pieces but not the whole attack. (I had no hits to the head or head wounds) So my mind blocks things. Many survivors of childhood abuse don't remember for many years. It's a well documented phenomenon. I think in some cases it is trauma or an altered mental state but it does make a convenient excuse.
@@OhLanie I understand with and agree what you are saying. First of all let me say that I am so sorry for that traumatic experience that you had. No one should have to experience something such as that. But what I was actually saying was it is amazing how the person who commits the crime seems to be fuzzy when it comes to the details Of them committing their violent act or their assault or whatever the crime is. He can clearly remember everything that Dan did to her but she can't remember what she did to kill them. That's what I was saying. And again I am so so so sorry that you have had to live with that. I hope that you were able to get the help you needed. That is just terrible
I've been a court reporter 30 plus years. They never remember. 😆
You know nothing about the psyche
@@AMTSA1 I know a lot about the psyche and human behavior. The bottom line is she lied. She planned that murder starting with her daughter Keys all the way up to the early morning entry. She pretending to be "fuzzy" to minimize her actions in my opinion.
Mothers who are stay at home moms will understand what it feels like to be used.
She wasn't used. He fell in love with someone else. It happens. It doesn't give her the right to take two lifes away.
He got what he wanted , 2 be out of her life!!!!!
lol!
Good one! Not funny but sorry it is. 😎
And she got what she wanted there dead and she's in prison
Wow your a jerk.
Exactly dumb ass bitch
DON'T MESS AROUND ON YOUR WIFE OR HUSBAND ,GET A DIVORCE ,SHE DESERVED HALF OF EVERYTHING ,I FELL SORRY FOR THE KIDS !
I feel bad 😢 for her and he was the one who should have suffered for cheating
He should not have taunted her words have power,Words can Heal words can Kill
Oh come on. People exchange words all the time. That doesn't give anyone the right to murder them in cold blood.
@@danieldavis3035 when it is constantly drilled into your head that you are nothing and you listen to lie after lie any 'normal' human being would crack
This is so sad. The way this couple treated each other is just so sad. There was emotional abuse going in both directions. It should be emphasized that emotional abuse is as harmful as physical abuse and can lead to life ending consequences. Trust your instincts and if you think something is wrong in your marriage, get help, if not with your spouse, at least for yourself.
Or just get out of it with a reasonable estate from the finances...Move the heck on!
@@rehab5355
I 2nd that emotion tul
The end was truly tragic and horrible. She had lost it, because she was hurt so deeply... Poor, poor Betty... 😞
I can’t blame her. Being a wife that give the whole life to her husband and family. It’s mixed emotions. The angry and the other side jealousy. As a wife, I don’t know what I can do .
you cant blame her for murdering two people in cold blood? listen i get she got divorced and it hurts. but it happens all the time. you cant just kill people. this comment section really has opened my eyes to the fact women put emotions over logic. you are all defending murder and its truly sick and disturbing.
He didn't have to take the children, come on you had the affair I do believe he was tainting and controlling the situation but I don't think she should have killed them
They wanted to live with Dan!
Because of the lavish life
@@Girl-101 yes cause there mom would call them na.Ed and take it out on them and she was a ticking time bomb I don't condone what they did but death is an awful price
She dumped the kids at his house, plus she is coo coo, that's why that happened.
She took them to his house... they were living with her before
Betty was a codependent married to a narcissist. This is picture book!
This woman was failed by the court system (a very broken system that for
some reason favors narcissists) and in an effort to protect herself and
the kids, was driven to desperation. I believe her when she says she
did not intend to kill anyone. The only thing she is not understanding
is that Dan wasn't putting her thru hell because of custody or because
he wanted to win. No, he wanted to annihilate her and make sure she
walks away with nothing but the shirt on her back. Narcissist split into
black and white thinking, meaning you are either one their side or if
not, than you are against them making you their enemy. Narcissists
cannot grasp the concept of object permanence and the relational object
constancy that develops from that later on.
Dan was a coward and far from a real man. I also believe that many
people cannot see what I and others see because they themselves have to
lived through it. Once you have, you will not only understand, but
recognize it immediately but that requires healing and a ton of self
work.
I understand the toll narcissistic abuse takes on an individual's soul,
mind, spirit, and even body but sadly, many do not so the victim that
gets re-victimized by society, attorneys, reporters, and the court
system.
Check out One Mom's Battle and read her story. Or better yet, google my
name. Nothing in my report regarding the incident is true but the truth
doesn't matter in a court of law anymore. You will get as much justice
as your money can buy. I was too sacred to speak up, so I covered for
what he did. I deeply regret that now. Mine did survived because I took
him to a fire station to get him help immediately but I am going thru
hell trying to divorce him 1.5 years after our incident. Dan reminds me
of my own soon-to-be ex-husband in regards to conduct and
characteristics and this hunger for money! I hung in there for 28 years!
Educate yourself on trauma bonding (the reason why Betty stayed),
narcissistic abuse, post divorce abuse, complex PTSD, codependency and
narcissism, attachment patterns, black and white thinking referred to as
splitting. Books like Splitting (Bill Eddy), or Why Does He Do That
(Lundy Bancroft), or In Sheep's Clothing (George Simon), or the
Emotional Destructive Marriage (Leslie Vernick), or Malignant Self Love:
Narcissism Revisited (Sam Vaknin) are excellent resources. In addition,
Ross Rosenberg's work on codependency, or self love deficiency as he
likes to term it, provides accurate and clear look into what and why.
Absolutely 👍 more people should like this post. .. There's alot of people like him hidden in plain sight! NPD is real!
yep.agreed. All the friends Betty thought she had also deserted her. They went on Dan's side because he was the one with the power and the money. She was suddenly alone and felt like every horrible name he ever called her. He and Linda ( that skank) got what they deserved) Sorry but they did, murder is wrong , except in self defense or ..when being driven crazy by pouring salt into the wound, just like you said. A person can only take so much and she gave up and did everything for her family. He paid her off and expected her to go away quietly, like she never existed in his life. He was a jerk off to end all jerk offs, selfish prick and his secretary was a pig gold digger who apparently never heard the saying if they do it with you , they will do it to you..
@@kimwarner1681, "If they do it with you, they will do it to you" is precisely what Linda would have soon or later found out herself after her newness wore off and she was no longer the object of his affection. Somebody else would have come along who is prettier, or younger, or maybe more connected, or has greater status, etc. These people (narcissists) are very self-centered and do not care who gets hurt when they go after what they want and when they want...including hurting their own children whom they claim to love.
@@yagirljen727,! I am living this daily for now and just getting a divorce from him has been a nightmare - he will not move out......7 months after I asked him to move out! That was a reason why I never even bothered to fight the felony charges against him.

What new movie? I would like to see it, please respond with the title
Josie J Acosta It is on USA Dirty John The Betty Broderick Story.
@@msarie0543 Thanks
the Dirty John series has re-written Betty as too nice, no foul-mouth, even cooperative. Amanda Peet is way too tiny to pull off Betty Broderick anyway - she needs abour 6 inches in height, some swear lessons and a fat suit.
I read the book with corroborating statements & given the facts I read it's hard not to feel bad for betty & I get her pain ( I do not think it's ok in any way that she killed dan & linda) they married very young she was not ready for kids & did not know much about birth control & figured dan a med student knew what to do. She miscarried 5 kids 1 was still born one lived only to die before she left the hospital. She worked tons if jobs looked after the kids living in poverty sometimes with no heat or running water so that dan could go to medical then law school. Finally when he was making the big money after she helped put him through school by paying everything she thought now it was her turn for him to take care of her financially. Yet she still had the kids & the house while dan was out working on cases . Then he dumps her for a younger trophy , linda. Tell me u wouldnt be devastated bitter angry & possibly crazy. Betty gave up her youth to live a tough live waiting for the rewards for their family. Linda could not even type but was given her own office & a huge salary over people who were qualified & ran the office for years. Linda would not have been with dan if he waasnt a rich respected lawyer who became the bar president in California
Dan was chummy with the judge & betty got money in spousal support but had to use the money to pay the taxes & mortgage on a house that was in his name. So he could take her h ok me back at some point.
All their couple friends went with him the rich lawyer.
Finally when betty & dan married she was a stunning blonde & dan was very gawky & skinny with big glasses. When he got rich he got plastic surgery & matured into a handsome man . Betty was smart educated beautiful funny a great mom & wife. She was a great cook & class mom den mother soccer coach. The perfect wife. I have no respect for dan who never would have gotten to where he was without betty & dumped her & traded up. Linda was a homewrecker & opportunist. I could never take a man away from his family. If he courted me I'd say no u have a family.
Again killing dan & linda was wrong but I truly believe she had a break down.
Natalie Panaro Stack w
Natalie, thanks for sharing the details of the book.
Yea, that's why he was giving her 16K a month in alimony payments because he understood her sacrifices.
What most of you women fail to acknowledge is he no longer wanted her physically. And Dan had every right to move on with his life, no it wasn't fair but that's life it's a Bitch sometimes but you have to move on.
She refused to do that she was begging a man to stay with her that no longer wanted her or desired her. I've been in that situation and it is extremely hard to do because you're not there mentally anymore. So I understand Dan side an I empathize what Betty went through as well... But murder should have never been an option.
Thank you for this reply, i wish i could reach out to her, i want to let her know i understand and maybe even try to get her home, her next Parole Hearing is in 2023 and i’m seriously considering trying to get involved as far as advocating, they won’t release her and it’s sick i understand what she did and of course murder IS NOT the answer but with her situation i just hear and see her, the whole world has all these negative things to say, but i see her and ALL she went though, i love how people call her crazy and make her seem crazy after this man literally tried to make her seem crazy and he gaslit her after accusing him of having an affair he LEFT her only to admit that he infact WAS cheating and ended up dating and marrying the girl that turned her world upside down! then again i can’t blame the girl i have to blame HIM cause if Linda hadve turned him down would there only had been a Sarah later anyway? Just Saying.
@@AHMAD-2324 Like you said, life is a bitch sometimes and you die for treating people like crap. He destroyed her and drove her to that love/hate level where she was ok with killing him and his side bitch. She has no remorse and keeps telling the truth about what everyone did, but no one else is listening to the broke, unattractive wife. Nope, the rich dude that shitted on her is still glorified, but dead. Hope everyone is happy with the parts they played.
My feelings while watching all these Broderik cases are that Dan and Linda were very wicked and DROVE Betty to do what she did..
My feelings too!
This is why it's important to always check your doors to make sure they are locked.
That judge is like..."oh sh-t, coulda been me"
She was in love she truly loved her husband. Love is blind and love a make you do some crazy things. Things you couldn’t even imagine. I’m not justifying what she did because no life should be taken especially this way.... but she felt betrayed she felt belittled she felt used and abused she felt hurt and pain. He husband’s infidelity and all of that made her go insane!!
I know it's been a year but i just read your comment - the Brodericks were in a loveless marriage built on catholic tradition, position, status and money with both parties using the other for their own personal gain. Betty loved the country clubs, the ski trips, the family matching sweaters - not the man. Her anger along with her over-the-top reactions was about her loosing status and perks - not Dan. She spent most of the marriage hurling verbal assaults at him ('faggot' was one of her faves). So if you're gonna dish the crap out you better be prepared when it's your turn to take it. just read up on her cold and distant parents who never showed up during any trials for a clearer picture.
The reason Betty has no remorse is because she believes Dan & his new wife deserved this. Why is the notion that she has no remorse so difficult to understand here. I know people would like to believe that she should, however she doesn't. Also, if she never feels remorse for what she did, it does not mean for sure that she would ever harm anyone again.
more of the reason why she will NEVER be released
@J Moore oops sorry I can only understand things pertaining to the topic 😜🤷
other things didn’t phase her as much as as his betrayal. I understand her
I think we understand quite clear. More of the reason she should spend her dying years in prison tho🤷which more than likely she will
@J Moore What was that ???? Sounded like something that wasnt the topic sorry cant understand you🤷♀️
Tons of evidence at trial that she didn’t want custody of her kids, even exploded at a lawyer for filing motions to get them. Her “destitute” definition doesn’t include that Dan was paying her 9,000 a month before he was ever ruled to pay her anything. He paid the mortgage, her vehicle insurances, health insurance. Why kill him when she did? Because it was finally over, money settlement, custody was settled and he married Linda. There would be no excuse or reason anymore to ever contact him and that’s what she realized, the delays that were caused by HER was over and done
