She should have won that Emmy
I agree! I love MBB
Who won ?
Don't remember
@@ghostafterlivesmatter8732 Gena Rowlands (the Notebook) won for TV special "Face Of A Stranger"
100 %
Back when tv movies of the week used to be goood
Yeah, Stalking Laura etc.
YES! And now it’s just Lifetime pumping out cheap, slapped together, hard to watch messes. Don’t get me wrong, I still watch them, but I don’t like it!
Those were the days...
Yep
@@Contractnik Richard Thomas should have rec'd an Emmy for his performance in "Stalking Laura." What a GREAT actor!
She played that role flawlessly
Hollywood turned a plain looking woman into a pretty woman.
No she did not! That movie did NOT say what really happened.
@@martinakuhnert9636Why don't you tell us what really happened.
Meredith Baxter was like this lady's sister or daughter. They looked alike back then.
When I see Meredith in other shows, I still see her playing this lady. 😻😻
Meredith is one of my favorites!❤
THANK YOU POSTING THIS Flims4. I like Meredith Baxter she never got the full recognition for skill and talent what a brilliant and amazing actor.
Right, I totally agree. I like watching any movie with Meredith Baxter in it.
I like her too but she didn't have anywhere near the hubris the real Betty Broderick had.
Meredith is one of the most celebrated actresses from the 80s and 90s . She has gotten her due
She is great
@@AliceNsWonderland So the real Betty must’ve really been acting crazy.
I used to approach relationships like this when i was younger. Give my all, sacrifice who i was, do everything and anything to make a partner happy even at my expense. I thought if i show them how much i care, they will also care and not hurt me. When they did, i would flip out, " how dare yiu do this to me after everything i did for you". I know better. Love is a two way street, and if a person doesn't want to be with you, let them go, no matter how painful. Everyone deserves to be with someone who wants to be with them.

Brilliant work. Amazing actress.
An Irish/Italian girl from Brooklyn, working class parents, she met Dan at a party at Notre Dame.
She had come a long way. She just didn't feel she had an identity without being Betty Broderick. She couldn't let go. Dan did cheat on her, obviously, & it literally drove her crazy. 🤯
Except for the murders, many women sympathize and understand the pain and betrayal Betty felt. I wish she had the strength to move on and create the wonderful life she deserved. Very sad she’s in prison so long. She had so much going for her.
She was a narc
@@jennifercooljeo6552 facts!
He really did not cheat. She locked him out of the bedroom accused him of all sorts of untrue things. So he found soneone he could relate too without screaming at him. She had a beautiful house money holidays still not happy. She treated him appaulingly and shocked when he told her about the divorce. Pychopaths never accept defeat.
@@marirothbauer5407 yeah she was horrible. 😐

Their kids suffered in this the most, 3 VERY selfish adults. Affairs hurt the kids too, experienced that as a child twice, makes you feel like you committed a crime watching your parents fall apart.
Don't Forget The Brother

Dan's Money TOO ; He Was Always
Getting Money From Dan
I SEE In The News (NOW) That The

SUE Their Uncle Larry

She truly didn't love him. She loved money more
@@gailtaylor9154Can you please share the link with us?.
Ladies if a man shows you that he doesn’t care about you , that you’re just trash to be dumped on the corner and replaced with something new -you have to move on for yourself -take what little dignity you have and say “see you later & good luck” communicate with lawyers if you need to -you’ll get over him and you just might meet the actual man of your dreams
Men if a woman shows you she's an impossible-to-please foul-mouthed pain-in-the-ass don't wait - make tracks
There is no such man. Don't bother. Invest in being single and doing what you want with your life instead of what society tells women they need. It's all bullshit....marriage benefits men. Singleness benefits women, it's been scientifically proven.
Judith Ivy deserved an Emmy for her performance in this. Anything she’s in is either intense, HILARIOUS, creepy, or just plain GOOD. And did anyone else catch the shot of the real Carrie Wells in the gallery as the 2nd trial begins? Well done!
In life there are consequences. When u choose to pursue a married man, cheat on your spouse, disregard other's feelings, etc, u must be ready for the consequences. Matters of the heart are very delicate & should be handled with extreme caution. No one won in the end.
Exactly especially the other woman assuming they’re better and won God don’t bless no mess eventually time would tell all he would have treated her the same way eventually
No matter what, no one deserves to be harassed and murdered
No but also no one deserves to have their life gone after 20 years, I just did at 63 after 21 years of marriage, lost everything.
Don’t be a judge unless you’ve been there.
@@PaulaMaupin-c9bbut Betty wasn’t killed. She had her way of life taken from her but that doesn’t equate to permanently taking someone’s life from earth
@@Nallisn- Read about this case. You will understand more about what happened. It is a complex case. Sex, Lies. Betrayal. Murder.
What drove this woman over the edge was the fact that the other woman literally took her position
she got dumped, happens everyday - get in line and deal with it like the rest of the grown-ups.
@@keithabney4665Dan Broderick didn't want to pay alimony or child support. She was entitled to at least 16,000 dollars per month until the youngest child was twenty-one. She didn't get that and her greedy brother-in-law robbed the four kids of what was rightfuly theirs.
So all men are narrssiist?
stop making excuses for her…. That happens to millions of American women and you don’t see them becoming killers
It's advisable to move to another house, other than where the 1st wife lived in
I don’t support murder, but Linda was not the compassionate angel her sister described. If she was, she would have walked away from a married man with 4 kids, the saddest victims in this case.
Drove me crazy them calling the hoe the new wife almost all the time, like that was important..
Agree. Linda was a conniving soul ... no respect for another's marriage, children.
Linda made herself very available to Dan. If she hadn't, he definitely would have found a different woman - in the company cafeteria, at a law library, restaurant, professional associations- anywhere. Linda was just convenient. There's no way to see past the six months they were married, after a few kids, he would probably have cheated on Linda after she wasn't exciting anymore and just home with kids. They absolutely shouldn't have been shot, no question Betty went nuts. But as a woman who turned her single life around as an older woman, moved to a strange place and married an older man who after less than a year, divorced me- for small arguments, I think Linda was Dan's rebound- as I was after his 40 yr marriage. Linda was just right there in his office and willing when she could sniff out trouble at home with Betty. The "Linda type" always listens to what the man complains about then does the complete opposite. Like "oh, she does THIS to you, I would NEVER, I would do THAT. If he complains his wife hates sports, the coniving rebound will read everything about his sport, and wear a cap with his team's name on it. If she doesn't cook, well then, rebound will cook him gourmet meals then service him in bed. If he complains she doesn't like his friends or family, rebound lady will cozy up to them. There was a song years ago called "the cleanup woman." Then rebound lady gets cheated on too.
My ex often text msgs me, sending videos. I'm sure wifey doesn't know he's texting me. Of course, I can block him, but it massages my ego to know that he's doing the same thing to my replacement. Nasty. Dan was not a good man- no commitment, and Linda was an opportunist.
I am not support a murder .. he needs to live a long time with young wife before she is real
Show to him who is who
Yes, Linda was a gold digger and she carried on for about EIGHT YEARS with a married man, not exactly wonderful behavior by any standard. If my daughter had been doing that I would have done everything to talk her out of it. TO BE honest, ALL three of the so called adults in this case were selfish, in love with money and status and NONE OF THEM GAVE much thought to the four children caught in the middle of all their nonsense. VERY sad
You can tell she is actually happier...she does not regret one thing.
she is. shows how f*cked her thinking is. rather than spend her final days with her children she'd rather die in prison
agree. classic sociopath, points the finger at everyone else for her misery. she'll die in jail still thinking 'self defense'
She literally said it in real life that she has no regrets and she was happy
Great movie, tragic story. Those poor children!!
I miss these types of Lifetime movies 🥺🥺
We have some movies I think you would enjoy then!!
Like fr though
Me too!!!
@@Films4You👌
The one acting as Betty was amazing. She did her part very well💯💯
I have been through this, the other women divorced him. It tears up you up.
i've been through it too but still handled it like a grown-up not an entitled out-of-control terrorist
women have never learned to take responsibility for when and why their husbands divorce them for better and younger women. They drive their Men away with treachery, dishonesty and selfishness; they quit taking care of themselves as well. Men need to demand their wives stay up to date and great looking.
That was an amazing performance by Meredith Baxter.
Am I the only one who loves the background music in this movie? So beautiful but haunting. 😮
Yes that music is so creepy and eerie!!!
Mark Snow…think it’s the same guy that did the X-files music 😊
with guitar and piano ❤
I feel the same as you
It's the reason I watch a third time
I'm a child of a nasty divorce by powerful people. Regardless of what may occur, murder is never an acceptable option.
Right, but him being taken care of by Betty while in medical and law school, and later forgetting all about it, it was an enormous offense for her, and many others; he was not the first guy to do this. And the young lady wanted him and his $$ to herself, instigating him against her. I would never work for a guy. I am sorry for all, money in most cases makes dev ils
@user-ec2yw5ep9w the kids lost both of their parents.
@Good guy
I'm so sorry to hear about your experience. I'm one of the lucky ones. My parents had a very amicable divorce.
She was hurt with deep scars, abused and used mistreated her whole life, children was taken away. Understand her pain. She felt no way out. Where and how to move on
Amen to that! The Broderick divorce was a terrible one that had people talking. But Betty SHOULD have bowed out. I doubt Dan's marriage to the much younger wife would have endured. In any case, anything would have been better than the awful end. He was horrible to her; few have denied that. But no one but God Himself has the right to take life. The young wife also provoked Betty badly and cruelly. I wish she'd made better choices. NEVER get into someone else's marriage. Much more than that, NEVER elect to take revenge. If someone doesn't want to be with you, you must let them go. Despite how much it may hurt. Betty was still young; she would have remarried. And her children would have been immeasurably better off. What a tragedy.
Betty would have been released many years ago, except for one thing. I watched an interview with the judge who makes decisions about it. Betty has been a model prisoner. The problem is she will NEVER admit she was wrong to kill two people.
true. unfortunately they don't let you out for playing nice with others. 35 years later she's still claiming self defense. she's stubborn as hell and she'll die in prison.
I feel so bad for her kids
If u were in her shoes, u could feel the why, but low thoughts never do
I understand where she was coming from he did her so bad
Meredith Baxter did a great job in this movie. I agree when she said he just got tired of her..he wanted someone younger
That didn't give her a right to kill them
Nope, read up on it, not at all what happened
Great then Betty should focus on getting a younger boyfriend...
Such a Marjorie taylor green💚 😅
Ok, first of all, the break up did NOT occur because her husband wanted someone younger, second, after the split, she DID have boyfriends, several, including at least one who WAS a good bit younger than she.
@@penelopemace7440 Right, people throw comments and opinions out there without researching the actual story.
What I never could understand about this film and I've watched part 1 and 2 loads off Times he had a big gorgeous house with plenty money and wouldn't put up a house alarm
Dan and Linda should've had a dog. I guess alarms weren't as in use back in those years.
@mckjewel I say they were but I totally agree with what you said at least have a big dog , he knew she had a gun and wasn't stable at all
Same thing happened with Versace
I guess he didn't think she would go this far...
@@nybsbfan18 clearly ..lol
He cut one of his daughter’s out of his will , give credence to Betty’s story he’s a bully
He might be a bully but he didn’t deserve to be killed! No one deserves that! The only victim was his children
That’s not just out of nowhere, why is it always about money? She was narcissistic and immature, not to mention she treated him like shit
I'm glad someone is finally speaking the truth @@jennifercooljeo6552
Exactly! WHO does that ! He was not to be messed with
He really did things legally to Betty he should never have been allowed to do. Linda was no innocent sweetie and he was a monster
Never justify murder though, but he drove her to the edge for sure
@@Oliver-le1us when I'm feeling down I pull up the clip of Betty's hefty ass being drug out of her cell by prison guards - guaranteed mood lifter
I can imagine how Betty felt when Dan stopped caring for her, if he ever did. But she didn't think about her children.
according to her son their marriage was more of a business arrangement, no love required - she was more pissed about loosing her perks at Neiman Marcus than Dan not loving her.
@@haintedhouse2990 of course cause he took almost everything from her after all the sacrifice she did helping him with his career
@@Ace-ke7fq perhaps Betty would've received more of a fair shake from Dan if she could've refrained from making her entrance through the front door of his house with her car.
@@haintedhouse2990- She loved her family & sacrificed for them but Betty was no fool!! Dan should have cared more about his family than his money 💰 It is a tragedy - He should ha given her HALF & FAIR Custody Arrangement for the children she GAVE BIRTH to!! You can't play games with BULLETS!! 💀
@@haintedhouse2990- You just can't get over Betty's parking skills!! Dan is lucky she didn't run him over - he lost at playing his own games!! 💀
MBB was made for this role. She is amazing
This story is so sad and heartless,,she needed help you can clearly see she was unhappy in her marriage,only if her ex husband took more legal advice and matters against his ex wife probably they would be alive the most saddest thing is she cared more about her feelings than those beautiful children that now have lost both parents!! Please tell me what is the justice in that??💔💔💔💔
She definitely needed mental help. I wonder why CPS was never involved. She was clearly a danger to her kids. If Dan had worried more about protecting them rather than just appeasing her with visitation, she may have been forced to get therapy.
Dan was a POS. He and Linda got what they deserved. However, I do feel for the children that they had such a heartless father. He created the entire situation.
Steve Harvey did the very same thing to his ex-wife. The court system was designed to fail these women.
@@LyonsM you are as insane as her. She is the sick one here, if she was a man you would blame her/him for everything... to bad she didn't get life, she belongs in jail or in a psychiatric facility! and so do you
This is such a complex story. If you liked this movie youll probably enjoy watching the Betty Brodrick movie that Netflix made called "Dirty John" staring Amanda Pete as Betty and Christian Slater as Dan Broderick. It really goes in depth about how much Betty worked to support Dan and their small children in their young years, Bettys difficult pregnancies due to working to put Dan through school twice, and his unthoughtful mistreatment of Betty. It gives you a better understanding of Betty's mental health decline.
just as Meredith Baxter's version painted Betty as the villain Netflix has done damage control and almost made her a hero. i don't buy it - she was an impossible to please foul-mouthed terrorist, no sympathy here.
Maggie was just going to post the same thing 😸😸😺
I loved Dirty John. That's why I'm here. Don't understand the hate. It's been over 30 year's. She's an old woman.
Thanks for the tip had no idea that that movie was about these people
Oh, did not even know for Netfilx movie.. Thanks for sharing ❤
I will hand it to her: Meredith Baxter played the hell out of Betty Broadwick. I felt terrible for the children.
Betty Broderick is still in prison and she is still in denial of what she did and she still doesn't see it and its sad and her children lost their father and everything else b/c of what Betty Broderick did and she was pushed over the edge and she killed her ex husband and his new wife Linda and Betty was furious over the divorce and then losing her children and everything came down on her and she couldn't handle it... she should have just stayed away from her children and her ex husband and moved on and gotten her groove back.. its sad that the children lost their father but they also lost their mother too who is still in prison. Money doesn't buy you happiness and it just added more problems. I understand Bettys outrage towards Dan and Linda but she didn't have to kill the both of them in cold blood. She could have made a better choice. The whole thing with Dan and Linda was making her so sick she couldn't handle it.. Sad for the kids who lost everything
She was alread sick constantly abusing him no man wants to come home to that every night after working long hours.
Wife from hell.
And the knife was going to turn in her again WHEN HE AND LINDA started a new family... Betty knew this was next too.
None of these so called
Adults gave a crap about the children. All they did was put their selfish needs above their well being . They are all at fault . No one is innocent but the 4 kids.
Breakups and divorces break you. I honestly feel Betty's pain but murder was not the answer.
No one ever said murder was the answer, but it shows that mental health should be taken seriously and if she had the right treatment, she probably would've not killed them.
They relooked at this case and a whole new show is up.. Concerning the absolute abuse of how she was treated by the standards of how he took everything from her... amazing to see updated version... if it occured today --the end may have been different--she spent her whole life helping him climb up....
And she murdered him in the coldests of blood.
Women should never do that!
She had a $16,000 monthly check, was gifted multi million dollar home on the beach, she owned 3 new luxury cars, it was everything any woman could ask for. She could have lived a life of incredible luxury. She was so filled with hatred and revenge she chose to murder her ex husband and new bride and forfeit everything, including destroying her children's lives. She is a classic narcissist!
@@ggeorge4144sad but very true she felt left out humiliated he cheated on her etc. wish she had moved on and turned to Jesus prayed through the situation you real what you sow prayers for her and her children they all have to live with this will never forget the tragedy
She killed two people.. don't you get that.
You should not judge her so harshly from an ivory tower unless you have been there! At 63, 20 year marriage, my husband just divorced me & I lost everything, marriage, home, family, job, money, retirement, my mind really. It’s been horrible!
Murder is not okay, she is guilty & far from left high & dry. She deserves to go to prison, yes. But have a little compassion, people.
Still, it was her emotions that did this, right or wrong, they ate her up! Just, please, don’t sound like you’re so much better than her unless you have experienced something that horrendous.
She didn't lose everything. Only a marriage. He provided well for her even after she flipped out. Her mouth was her issue and her skitzo bipolar stalking.
@@nosmoke247
You are correct!
I was having a rough x-husband night & did lose home, etc.
She could have everything still! Kids too!
Sorry for my rant.
everybody's been screwed or dumped - get in line Betty and deal like an adult not a spoiled toddler.
11:02 all were wrong husband cheated Linda should have walked away, Betty should have seek counciling after divorce and moved on with her life, she at one time had a boyfriend. Divorce hurts your heart broken u feel ur life is over after devoting to a long time marriage, but that doesn't give you the right to take someone's eles life. She should get out of prison but be placed in a mental hospital to live out the rest of her life due to her illness, her children should be by her side and recognize the serious illness that she has. And they need therapy to deal with the trauma,
@@housemousell she was a foul-mouthed tool years before Linda came around addressing Dan as 'asshole' and 'faggot' in front of friends and co-workers. spare me the sacrificial wife routine
Money is a great tool but a terrible master.
Dan chose to allow the money to be his master. His wife put him through college and he became successful, betrayed her, and exchanged her for a child.
The man was a total narcissist. He drove her crazy to that point. She should have moved on and realize this happens often, she had a great house, money, etc., . But she focused on her injustice and pain and that’s what got her in the end. It’s unfortunate that she killed Dan and Linda, she also destroyed the lives of her children and her own in the process.
How fatal edges drown so many lifes !
Is it because of no talking ?
Is it because of other reasons?
We might probably, discover respons,
many years, later on !
Terrible case, in order to think deeply,
Doupts are necessary .

I guess now that Dan is dead, her children mean everything to her. It’s funny how shortly after saying that, she brought up Dan once again. He’s no longer around and she’s still obsessed with him
Here's the answer: Yes, he did drive her to want to kill him.
Does it mean she had to? No. She made a choice that ended his and Linda's lives, broke up her children's lives, and ruined her life as well.
who hasn't thought "oh I could kill him/her!" - get in line Betty, deal with it like a grown-up not a psychotic toddler.
He destroyed their lives
She ended it

Knowing that she did more than one job, lived in a dorm, while a studied whatever his heart wanted. To be left like this.. i say she did the right think, made an example out of both of them.
only thing sadder than Betty Broderick are the delusional women who defend her
She surely overfocused on him.
The best choices picking a very good partner that's humble and sweet and decent and does the rightful thing by you
She is a clear textbook narcissist who cant see that what she did is wrong. This is why she will never get out of prison
it would've happened if he stayed away from the ho Linda
She served her sentence, it was injustice to keep her in prison! Is she still alive?
@@jolanzsuzsannakarpati7469she is still in prison-as she should be.
@@jolanzsuzsannakarpati7469 for taking two lives? What is wrong with you?
I don't think she cares about getting out, she got what she wanted, Linda to stop breathing.
Dan's brother: "She killed her children's father." More like, He cheated on, marginalized and emotionally abused his children's mother.
And, she could have just walked away with the excess alimony and divorce settlement. Many men cheat on their wives. Shes, still, a very narcissistic person.
She threw her life away and hurt so many. She killed Dan and Linda. What about her children? They were broken after this case.
Well she was also broken, could you think clear with all this going on
@@pizzachick6884 she's a murderer.. it's hard to really feel sympathy. She made a choice to kill her children's father. She cared more about he suffering than her children's needs
Why would Linda get married to a man with four children?
@@career5690She loved Dan. Unfortunately this was a bad arrangement.
@@career5690 Point blank, Dan used Betty from the beginning.
She just couldn't let go, all up in her feelings...at her lowest...doing the lowest, no gain for anyone. 😢 If she was that far gone in her emotions, I feel empathy for her....but if she acted out her feelings as a spoiled brat I have none.
i'm gonna go with spoiled brat. she had more than enough chances to get it together - she blew everyone of them
Betty had some serious issues just an overall unhappy person. The moment she was left to her own devices she couldn’t pick herself up. Those poor kids
Probably because she lost her entire life building that poor excuse of a man..
Wouldn't you if your husband and the court system betrayed you? It's one thing that her husband betrayed her, but the court system rewarded her husband and Linda with the house and money after she put him through law school while working multiple jobs.
@@starlightrocks7The court rewarded him with the children, too. Her only recourse was to start over without them.
@@starlightrocks7Betty was given $10k a month. She could’ve saw Dan for who he was , got some help and move on.

What got me is they allegedly sent their wedding photo to her with words written on it saying something like "eat your heart out, fat pig"
Adultery, divorce, broken hearts, sin, murder,,,, there was no forgiveness here, or fear of the lord.
All parties involved sinned.
All paid. Even the innocent children who paid a great price.
Deadly sins!
Oh please
“Sin”
Isn’t your judgment a sin in itself?
Yes
It is
Betty will forever be fascinating.
What a great actress Meridith Baxter is so believable as Betty
Most of what ailed Betty & Dan Broderick's marriage was done with complicit agreement between them before he ever met Linda. How Betty dealt with that situation, and the fact Dan was able to do those things to her without apology or change in behavior after the children arrived is what alienated him from her; and from there, it was just a matter of time. If a man is the single source of income, which Dan was after a certain point, he is going to have the upper hand in decision making for the marriage and when it comes to divorce. Betty was of course not his equal, but in her mind the early days when she supported the family while Dan had a worry free life as a student made them equals after he was a high powered attorney, but it wasn't really so. She knew of Dan's reputation as a good attorney and started adopting some of his arrogant qualities herself. Unfortunately, powerful men do not appreciate that type of behavior when they can have a younger, prettier, adoring female looking up to them. The bottom line is, Betty stayed with him and accepted the role they both found to be the easiest path for their marriage. Betty started trying to use the legal system and the media the way she saw it as an outsider looking in, so she could use their marital problems to give a nod to murder as a resolution to her own inability to let go of a marriage that no longer worked at all. It's sad, but nothing from the past warranted murder. Once Betty burned Dan's clothes and started calling on the phone leaving all those awful messages, then slammed her car into his house, that was it, she had lost all control. When she started announcing to her children she was going to kill Dan, that was it. Dan made nothing hell for Betty after the separation, he simply used the proper tools at his disposal and then she did it herself. The legal community is not exactly fair, but they will not put their own careers at risk or improperly turn on each other. Betty did herself no favors with her supposed sarcastic "wit" that was so blaringly out of place as evidenced in this movie. Nothing is funny about what happened. People's lives are not fodder for gossip. Dan really probably had nothing to do with other attorneys not wanting to take her case, and from there, she made everything easier in the courtroom for Dan. To his defense, no one should have to take what she was doing to him. Betty Broderick should never get out of prison for what she did. She cannot love her children very much to do anything like what she did. Those poor kids.
I never saw her like this before, she embodied this role scary good.
She's a very very Good Actress.. very Convinsing❤❤❤
Sorry, but there is NO excuse for murder. Betty was obsessed and i for one, hope she NEVER gets out of prison. Meredith did a great job in this role.
This movie is stressful! What an amazing movie. As a mom I would NEVER do that to my husband's child!
She got a huge alimony. She should have invested in her life instead of destroying it. I understand her anger but at the same time, she was emotionally abusive to him.
I agree. She could have just lived and enjoy her life
This isn’t about money, it’s about infidelity and abuse, abuse from both parties!
of course it's about money - Betty was trained by her cold-as-ice parents to marry a motivated catholic then rake in the bucks - love was not required. she was more pissed about loosing her perks at Neiman Marcus.
Having watched a great deal of the trial, the actress actually put on a better case than the prosecuting attorney. There’s simply no way two murders should have produced a hung jury. Anyone defending Betty, essentially blaming Dan, know this: The diagnosis of any psychopathy, clinical narcissism (we now know) involves psychological and emotional abuse to the MATE. Her murderous entitled outrageous endeavors didn’t begin with Dan’s new bride. We can’t hear his stories of daily hardship living with a psychopath. Nothing less than spousal abuse. She is a heartless animal that should never see daylight. Consider for a moment how many marriages end amicably, co-parenting with grace for the children. Her intent all along was murder alone.
I'm sorry I disagree with your statement that she's a psychopath Dan and Linda should have not been murdered and she should have been acquitted she was a found acquitted she never should have been charged twice OJ Simpson was well known that he killed Nicole Brown and her friend yeah he was acquitted at least Betty admitted that she shot Dan and Linda psychopath but if she's a psychopath and what is Dan and Linda use their abuser and then as she got older he wanted someone younger and I believe that because linda looks like who Betty did Betty act like an adult know but what would you do if you spouse was a high-profile turning for the city of California and you have nowhere to turn because there's no attorney that would take you because of your powerful ex-husband that is an attorney you worked your whole life taking care of your spouse and taking care of your children and making sure they have a very education and sports whatever these kids wanted to do and you find the house you decorate the house you make your whole entire life as he's being an attorney you're giving His Image right off the bat he ends up having to make crisis and he basically felt that Betty was less than he was but she was also going to college the same time he was going to college and she was still working he wasn't but she was and she had kids so you're going to tell me she's a psychopath no you're wrong and if I would have been on the secondary I still would have acquitted her because I believe Dan abused Betty after he did he got successful he didn't want an older looking wife I'm sorry I believe that to the hardest car but daddy did not act as she should have I agree with that in front of her children as far as the conduct between her and Linda they're both grown adults Linda ends up working for his so-called secretary yeah he was she ended up being his secretary all right you got that much straight so they were obviously sleeping together before they even got married and probably more than likely before even Dan and Linda were divorced so what does that make them yeah you may seem the name hard-coded and I don't care that they both lost their life but Daddy lost her life from when she married then and now she's still paying for his life because she's in prison Dan and Linda is still serving hell because of her ex-husband you're not in her shoes you don't know what it's like to do this for somebody and then have the whole entire world slipped out from underneath you you think it was about the money I disagree I think she actually truly wanted her family back as one and she wanted Linda who was what 1821 at the time when they got married I believe Linda was only two years older than his oldest daughter don't you find that a little sickening I do let's talk about the children did you know that one of the children is out of Dan's will why because he sighted with her mother so what does that tell you he's controlling the whole entire family with money just the same as he did with Betty he was a high profile attorney for the State of California and daddy could not get no justice that much is true they only downfall that Betty did what you put out her story was that it hurt her if she would have kept quiet I guarantee you she would have gotten the second acquittal is this day and age I guarantee you she never would have served other than the time she served because it is true there is fossil abuse that are narcissists and I'm sorry Dan was a narcissist and Linda seen the money seen the power and she wanted it that is where Betty should have been even if the marriage didn't make it Linda was way too young to be involved in this but she wanted the money so that even she gets involved according to the story and goes and gets the wedding list so is she not also poking and stabbing her yeah that you all know everybody everyone knows is stabbing a dogging and the other spouse let's go up a little bit okay I'm not making excuses for the fact that she committed murder whatsoever there are people that have committed multi murders more than one more than two more than three and they're getting out 1530 years she just killed two people and she's going to have to serve her whole entire life she's Let Her Go becoming a successful person and she still taking care of him even though he's gone they're both deceased I understand that but she still paying the price for Dan that's what I believe she's done her time she's been up twice for parole Let Her Go choose 80 years old what's she going to do what's she going to do if I was on the parole board I would release Betty let's beat the clock waiting for all the old judges and attorneys to get out of there so that they can release her she needs to be released millions and millions and millions of murderers have been released during the pandemic in California was one of the highest states that released more murders back into society but they cannot release Betty why is that because she still worth millions in California ain't got enough millions of the residents so they got to get some more let it go get real California get real why didn't you convict OJ we all know he killed Nicole and Mr Brown so you know you kind of got things a little wrong they're California and as a matter of fact isn't it funny after he gets acquitted they never try him but they do Betty ask yourself why I keep telling you it's because her ex-spouse Dan was an attorney she did not get her Fair Shake I'm not talking about the money her justice but what do you expect of a California hey it's California good luck with all the immigrants coming illegal immigrants pardon my statement their yeah and thanks to you morons are even here in my state and their poor more in the Chicago you know way to tear up a country just like you tear up other people's life and then blame the other ones peace California ain't no peace about you
@@alessiaqueen6445 OMG. Your ranting does not make any sense. Betty let her emotions cloud her judgment to reason . She was consumed by vengeance. Lots of people have affairs&divorce. Then move on. Betty is still alive.The real victims are the kids&families, friends connected. Sad green monster!
So called ‘rantings’ make perfect sense! Read it again. Probably not if the reader had a prejudged decision & a cookie cutter reaction to any murder.
Murder absolutely is wrong. However having an opinion that is real, looking beyond Betty is obviously the only ‘bad’ narcissistic psychopath monster here, is terrible judge mental unless you’re in her shoes.
What happened to her, what that meant to her, was devastating because it was her life. Another young pretty woman waltzing into your husbands office, then his marriage, had to be painful & cut away at her self worth, self esteem, further confirming her idea of she’s old, ugly, unwanted. Acting with that mindset & the heartbreak she had, can bring out awful, ugly acts without thinking thru consequences.
That’s not saying she was right to shoot Dan & his replacement wife. But it should allow the viewer to look at this situation with a much wider lens than simply an attitude such as looking down on her because you’re better & never would. Don’t say never unless you’ve been tested in the exact way and your reaction was thoroughly saint like and admirable.
Insanity in love matters, can cause a normally rational‘good’ person to lose it. That is why there’s a defense of ‘crime if passion’! Way different than a murder during robbery or rape, serial killers or hate crimes.
If somebody dissects a case like this & sees things from views unlike yours, does not mean they are saying, we agree with murder, they deserved to die, who cares about the kids! No, but it seems that is what is immediately assumed with the finger pointing at a person you judge incorrectly.
@@alessiaqueen6445
Please see my comment in the Betty Broadwick case. I appreciate the time you took to reply and understand where you are coming from. Much more than ‘rantings’. Looking down from an ivory tower, it much look like that.
Are you a doctor, psychiatrist?
Quote of the century, After shooting dead their father and his new wife to death, The Mother ( The killer ) says
to their children, I quote " Sorry, If this has spoilt your day, " unquote. Amazing.
Lol, she was like, "i hope you didn't have any plans for the day." I was like wtf!!!!? Mind baffled, honestly
I saw Betty interviewed 10 years ago or so. Might have been by Oprah. She was still ranting and raving and bitter. Very disturbed. No parole.
Meredith Baxter had the BEST hair. Lovely. Gurl work that hair. Lovely. Her actin skills were exceptional. Very realistic. It made you feel like you were there.
I totally agree!
Linda was conniving. Out for the brass ring.
I am shocked at how many sociopaths think murdering 2 people without any thought of what’s that’s going to do her children, is ok. Sick world we live in. BB is & always was a sociopathic liar that is exactly where she’s always belonged.
Agreed
Glad justice was served for the murders she committed in such a cowardly way. There's no justification for murder.
Never built up a men.
💯💯💯Dan used her from the start.
Absolutely
@@starlightrocks7 Like Oprah said don't give up your identity for a man.
She was controlling and manipulative and chose someone she could push to get her what she wanted. She went psycho when he would no longer accept it & moved on. She didn't care about anyone but herself. No true mother would cause such harm to her children.
I can only imagine the pain she went through....but I wish she could have just let Go
Yes.
She went too far, she was real Sick!!!!
Betty was very disturbed. She had mental problems. Her ex and new wife did not deserve to die.
She should of just moved on. And stopped acting stupid. I seen a video of her in prison acting stupid they had to carry her out of a cell. And leaving stupid messages like that for her children to hear..she needs to stay locked up. I believed she actually thought a jury would of set her free. I dont blame Dan for leaving if she talks to her own children that way no telling how she talks to Dan..
She was verbally abusive their entire marriage. Calling him a Fag, ugly nerd, etc, the real life story. She came first when it was between her and Dan, but clearly wanted everyone to know what all she done for him. Think she suffers from narcissistic behavior, Bi-Polar, and maybe Boarderline Personality Disorder. She wanted to be front and center, even before her kids. Used them in a scheme to break up Dan's relationship, no matter how it affected them. Got $16,000.00 a month, but her words, got nothing. Drop those kids off one by one when angered. She got what she brought on herself, and is still in denial. Rather kill, than have her children with both parents in their lives, and a mental stable woman, moves on! She was obsessed with her own wants. Her parents showed no support.
No she didn't leave married men alone tho
Dan cheated on her took her kids who she loved very much but he didn't deserve to die
@@alliswelledwards5174 he didnt take the kids she dropped them off one by one. Two of her kids said that on a oprah interview..look how she talked to her son. They played a recording on court..
Disturbed AF, she’s guilty!
Dan made her crazy. He was a narcissist
@@nikkifrey9573She allowed him to drive her crazy. She was emotionally unstable
Dan was definitely disturbed for using Betty to put him trough college and raise his children. Linda a homewrecker. Free Betty!
Meredith Baxter is just incredible!
She never misses!!
😢what a tragedy.....
It always bothered me that with all that money they didn't invest in a burglar alarm system. They knew she was dangerous, yet they weren't very sensible about it.
Dan had a burglar alarm, Betty busted it when she rammed her car into the house. Before he could get it fixed.....
AWESOME MOVIE 🍿🍿
So glad you enjoyed it Janet!!!
He didn't "take" her friends.
It was their choice.
She drove her car into his house, she was getting boatloads of money.
She was obsessed, greedy, and behaved horribly, and then killed both Her Kids Father, and Linda, as they were in bed asleep
Come on, really?
Another one who thinks $16K a month is a lot of money when he was earning a million a year.
@@jasminetyana2426 16k a month is alot tho
Betty thought she was a superstar in court they had to show her she was not
that's why she doesn't want released, she's a celebrity in lock-up - rather revel in her fame than spend her final days with her children and grandchildren.
It's odd to me that the COs opted to record Betty's move to detention AND air it on tv! It kind of supported her claims that that system was sided with Dan
This woman truly was twisted in the brain.
I do get that but her husband cause alot of it.
@@MsDisneylandloverno he didnt
@@MsDisneylandlover she was twisted waay before Linda showed up. verbally abusive and impossible to please.
@@jennifercooljeo6552Yes he did!
@@jennifercooljeo6552 No he didn't? Did we watch the same movie? Do you find it right for Dan to rob Betty and give the house and money to Linda? Let's just hope you won't be in Betty's situation.
What so bad Betty don't feel bad she feel justified. You can't just murder someone because how bad they hurt you
No one said anything about it was right for her to kill, but in her mind, it was justifiable because Dan took the house and money and Linda benefitted from it. Betty should be free from having a nervous breakdown.
You can
She did
Saddest family I've ever seen
Jealousy is the most dangerous reason for murder. It affects so many people in such a devastating way.😢😮
Children should have been taken away from both of them. The world no longer revolves around mom or dad once children are in the picture . I am sorry that their beautiful babies were mentally abused and damaged emotionally and were born to selfish people who only truly loved themselves. I pray they found some happiness in their lives!
You mean Dan's children that Betty helped to raise.
So sad that someone else can effect/control another one's life (mind) to this extent...😢
*affect
The problem is Betty married Dan to have kids and his money. She didn't really love Dan and she wasn't really mad at Linda she was mad all of that was being taken from her. Dan as the lawyer had the knowledge and ability to take both
He didn't have money when they married. She worked to put him through medical school and law school
@@maggiefitzgerald1276 Betty just wanted to have kids she didn't love him. She was probably good in bed and Dan just enjoyed the sex she provided
I know the pain, I went through the hard times with my husband. Counting the pennies to eat & having two young kids. He wanted me to get a job but was willing to watch the kids at night. He called it babysitting, not fathering. Then he had. A DUI, which getting the kids up at 7:00 am to take him to work. It was no picnic. Then his 20 yr old secretary came into the picture. She rode the waves once his raises started to come through. As a journeyman as a HV/AC. She got the new built house & all the fixings that came with it!
Are the children in shock when they find out their Mom shot their Dad? They are mighty calm around Betty, especially the girls at 10:30. I would go crazy on my Mom if I found out she killed my Dad or vice versa.
That damn lady gave EVERYBODY hell😩😂😂😂
Sometimes this is what happens when you have a man who taunts you constantly, and that’s what he did. He pushed her over the edge little by little. I understand this all too well as I’ve gone through something similar and after that another man comes along with different methods of abuse. It’s endless and no one helps or hears you.
Betty was a nagging impossible-to-please shrew who blossomed into a hefty foul-mouthed terrorist. I would've ran screaming into the arms of another as well.
Thanks!!
Dan didn’t drive her crazy, she was already crazy before the marriage begun. Let’s stop trying to blame the man all the time. Women need to start taking accountability for the mess that they do!
Agree. It’s crazy the people defending her ! She’s a murderer
Am sure this comment is from a man
Just remember: the trauma of gaslighting, and refusing to communicate hurts ...
And all Betty's hard work.
I agree
I can't believe that everyone says she's selfish! I understand how that kind of love. All the signs were there instead of talking about this situation the break down was there since this 20yr old came in the picture the husband over looked it.i mean on their honeymoon she asked for a divorce. Crazy why did he stay.
