When she said “I used to weigh over 200 pounds, this was very, very embarrassing to my daughter, so I decided to lose the weight so as to make her happy.” 🤣 This Lee is just the ruler of her own universe, and we are all just intrusions into it. 😂😂😂
You should see who played the mother (Joanna Kerns) and daughter (Christine Elise) in the movie version -- nowhere near what these two women look like. 😂
Yes! I recognized the story as soon as I heard it! I think it was on lifetime? Great movie based on this. I felt so bad for the daughter to know how this affected her in her life regarding guilt, which her narcissistic mother placed on her, etc.
This is pure brilliance. Lee needs her own channel. Absolutely hilarious and weird and insane all rolled into one. Kettle is on for that second cuppa...
She put a contract out on her daughter’s husband. She got caught. Now she saying she backed out and they extorted her. Please. lol. Just like the defense Charlie Adelson came up with (extortion). This lady is odd. Very controlling Jewish mom. Absolute narcissist.
YES!! I was thinking the same thing. Except unfortunately the killers didn't go to the cops. Imagine how much different this would be. This woman is exactly like Donna Adelson, Chaaaaaalie's mom lol.
Well Milty you’re gonna have to end up in a old folks home while your wife is in prison I don’t think that’s going to sway courts to keep her out of jail because you’re handicap that’s not the way it works that’s another manipulation you both are manipulators
Lee Goldsmith, the 74-year-old Lauderhill grandmother who hired a hit man to kill her son-in-law, won't be sleeping behind prison bars much longer. After serving 2 1/2 years of her 5 1/2-year sentence for solicitation of murder, Goldsmith is scheduled to be released from prison on Tuesday.Jun 18, 1995
This was the precursor to Donna Adelson….only difference is that her daughter Arlene actually loved and sided with her husband and cut out her parents for a normal life.
This is so amazing, may it be preserved forever as the entertainment and education that it served as. Also - Maya Rudolph - is that you under there, girl?
The fact that he is able to just sit there calmly as she makes one wild accusation after another, says alot about him to me... I would not be able to remain so calm lol . She plays the victim like a academy award winning actress, she's very good at it... However what she's not good at is being a criminal and planning a crime lol. She approached the "rug man" to kill her son in law with $10,000 that poor Milty saved from his va benefits to have his teeth fixed 😂 Poor Milty looks like he's wore out from a lifetime of his wife's crazy dramatics lol... I just know that she's the type that is always into with someone, has to be arguing with someone.
Wow, truly sad situation & obvious denial for this mother/grandmother that is found guilty. Padre God help her & her daughter. Where ate they now? Peace be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
This mother is such a liar! She is so self-centered she reminds me of Leona Helmsley. Her only concerns are for herself. Glad they sent her (and Leona) to prison!
@@susanlane4283I said "I think" not "I know". I was assaulted, severely and permanently injured from head to toe. Having to see him in court, I definitely thought about it. You are very blessed ❤
This is nuts that as we speak another Jewish Mother is headed to prison for the same thing. Sadly, in the current case Dan Markel was actually killed because of his Step-Mother, Donna Adelson. WTH? 🤦🏽♀️
The original air date was 1991, not 2012 as stated in the description. The movie "Mother Knows Best" 1997, was pretty much spot on to the original story, down to the wired taped lmfao! This woman was capable of killing her own husband for life insurance. I'm surprised that didn't happen lol.
The movie really gives the impression that the people irl were glamorous. They look very plain. I understand that movies have to exaggerate but I'm still taken aback.
This is from the 80's if you see the audience hairstyles that's ALL from the 80's ... if you were born in 77 as I'm guessing from your name here, you wouldn't remember 😊❤
Everyone finds her to be funny but what's real is this woman hired someone to kill her daughters husband. Imagine If the hit man wasn't undercover, no one would be laughing then.
A mother in law and an elderly one who hired who she thought was a hitman to take the life of her son n law she must have real h****d in her heart toward her own son n law to have even gone that route Wow 😮

When she said "she's adopted" I SCREAMED!!!
Brutal and a low blow
I screamed too 😂
The mother has the first signs of dementia parnoid dillusional signs .
Thank God l was nt adopted by her
Why did you scream???
Right?!!
That mom is delusional. She got caught and then plays victim. Very narcissistic/manipulative.
Arlene appears to be a very well rounded, stable woman considering she was raised by a psychotic unstable piece of work...
She was ‘adopted’. 🤣🤣🤣😫
The way the mother spoke about her daughter I assumed she was a gorgeous beauty .., what I saw and heard completely shocked me 😂
When she said “I used to weigh over 200 pounds, this was very, very embarrassing to my daughter, so I decided to lose the weight so as to make her happy.” 🤣 This Lee is just the ruler of her own universe, and we are all just intrusions into it. 😂😂😂

This mother is a piece of work. She truly believes EVERYTHING she’s saying🤦🏽♀️
30:26 - 30:21 " i dont wanna hear about another case" lmao she shut that down 😂😂😂😂
One of my fav lifetime movies “Mother knows Best” based on this case
Where do ifind it,that movie?
Yes! I recognized the story as soon as I heard it! I think it was on lifetime? Great movie based on this. I felt so bad for the daughter to know how this affected her in her life regarding guilt, which her narcissistic mother placed on her, etc.
@@MargoHardy It's on Tubi for free if you were still looking to watch it.
@@MargoHardy You can watch the movie on UA-cam.
Yup! I couldn't remember who played the mom, but Grant Show from Melrose Place played the husband who had the hit put on him.
'I wouldn't call it a contract... but I couldn't back out of it' 😂😂
“I have never been a socialite”- you don’t say😂
I love that she keeps full naming the man she tried to have killed?!!!😂😂😂
The crying with no tears is hilarious 😆
Yeah that’s the funniest fake crying I’ve seen.
This is pure brilliance. Lee needs her own channel. Absolutely hilarious and weird and insane all rolled into one. Kettle is on for that second cuppa...
Rich people are out of touch with reality. That's why they seem eccentric and outrageous to the rest of us.
@CabrettStartler I am wealthy and still am in touch with reality as I have been poor.
@forgottenpalace4472 good for you. That doesn't automatically negate my point.
@@CabrettStartler It does. I am in touch with reality.
She Has On Those Serial Killer Glasses So That Also Sealed The Deal
The Dahmer Special glasses.
This lady should get an Oscar for her stellar performance 😂
What happened after? I hope the daughter found peace and happiness.
There's some info in the last 30 seconds of this video
Omg this is classic. Lee is a meddling nosy momma too😂🤣😂🤣.
Donna Adelson did the same thing and had her son inlaw killed.....also from Florida.
Chile did y’all see the way Oprah grabbed that lady head🤣🤣🤣😩😩 35:31
Yes I screamed 😂😂😂😂
I can liken the mom to a character from an SNL skit.
Barbara Wawa???
I’m really sitting here like ‘, Is this REAL?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought the same thing! 😂
@callmemshawk I was thinking she is more like a character from Seinfeld.
Totally 😂
This is a MAD TV skit....😮😮😮😂❤
Omg glad to see someone remembers MadTV it was brilliant!!
The music in the movie made it almost comical. Great movie! This lady is cray cray but hilarious!
"He took a showa"😂
To clean up his dungarees
This is so twisted I cracked up LOL 😂
OH MY GOODNESS!! I LOVE THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW 📺!!!!
No accountability and everyone else to blame.
Mother is a classic psychopath- they talk, talk, talk without ever actually answering a single question.
Her voice sounds kind of like Barabra Walters
🤣🤣🤣
Lmao she really does!!!
Yes true
Because they both are from ISNOTREAL
Ok, yeah I can definitely hear it
She put a contract out on her daughter’s husband. She got caught. Now she saying she backed out and they extorted her. Please. lol. Just like the defense Charlie Adelson came up with (extortion). This lady is odd. Very controlling Jewish mom. Absolute narcissist.
…& it happened in FLORIDA! 😳
What about Milty...all in pink sitting there looking cute and quiet?
YES!! I was thinking the same thing. Except unfortunately the killers didn't go to the cops. Imagine how much different this would be. This woman is exactly like Donna Adelson, Chaaaaaalie's mom lol.
First I’ve seen this own show, but saw the movie of this story in lifetime many years ago. Great movie, done well, and so shocking and heinous.
10:44 The NERVE of her mother 🤨🤣 She absolutely crossed the line & doesn’t seem to understand that! Totally outrageous.
Unbelievable!
Well Milty you’re gonna have to end up in a old folks home while your wife is in prison I don’t think that’s going to sway courts to keep her out of jail because you’re handicap that’s not the way it works that’s another manipulation you both are manipulators
“I had no place to turn.” Hahaha

What about poor Milty?
This is the comment I was looking for 🤦🏽♀️ they should’ve made her serve every day down to the second of that 5 1/2 sentence 🙄
This was the precursor to Donna Adelson….only difference is that her daughter Arlene actually loved and sided with her husband and cut out her parents for a normal life.

How do i find the movie?
@@MargoHardy Mother Knows Best on tubi.
@@MargoHardyIt’s in u tube..
God forbid someone take a shower! Lol! Maybe he was thanking his future MIL. for such a gracious welcome ..
She is such a master manipulator but plays the victim so well. Very arrogant individual!
She ended up doing 2
1/2 years of her 5 1/2 year sentence
😮
Did they let her out early due to her talking on and on and on about....nothing. Also...how much hairspray would you need for her hair per day?
Is she dead now
@@mimig6511this episode coincided with the Aqua Net shortage of 1996.
Wow this woman is off of the rails.
Looks like Mrs Doubtfire
😂😂😂😂
This is so amazing, may it be preserved forever as the entertainment and education that it served as. Also - Maya Rudolph - is that you under there, girl?
I need to see all the cutting room floor footage for this episode. I need 4 more hours of Lee!
I can't look away.
There's got to be alot because this woman just drones on and on and on.🤣🤣🤣
No tears with the fake wiping of the eyes 🤦🏼♀️🙄
Wonder if Arlene and David still together
they are!
Her voice believe it or not is a good asmr😭😭🫠
So death penalty for messing up her bathroom. Damn.
Id love to no if her daughter and this man stayed together 😂😂I need an update
That woman is a complete narcissist and comes off as quite the liar as well.
The fact that he is able to just sit there calmly as she makes one wild accusation after another, says alot about him to me... I would not be able to remain so calm lol .

I watched this on a Lifetime movie.
What’s the name of the movie?
Mother knows Best! Joanna Kerns@@VibeOnTheRise
@@VibeOnTheRise"Mother knows best"
All I want is a Milty that feels like I can do no wrong I'm perfect, where's my Milty?? ❤
Wow, truly sad situation & obvious denial for this mother/grandmother that is found guilty. Padre God help her & her daughter. Where ate they now? Peace be with us all 🙏. "Isa"
Watching this is truly like getting into a time machine. The way that the people are is just so foreign to me. It's so odd.
This mother is such a liar! She is so self-centered she reminds me of Leona Helmsley. Her only concerns are for herself. Glad they sent her (and Leona) to prison!
You can tell how controlling she is by how she's sitting with the husband. Wicked woman.
Facts 💯💯💯 NOT even a strand of hair out of place. She sure dressed for the victim part smh 🤦🏽 straight PSYCHOPATH.
MOTHER KNOWS BEST IS THE REMAKE… REALLY GOOD MOVIE
"I didn't want to meet the hitman." Then cackles on the tape
I think as human beings, we all have the feelings of murder. Being human, all feelings are normal. BUT! Acting on those feelings is NOT NORMAL.
@@kateramsay8462 ❤
i have never had feelings of murder ever, so don't say we ALL because that's not true at all
@@susanlane4283I said "I think" not "I know".
I was assaulted, severely and permanently injured from head to toe. Having to see him in court, I definitely thought about it.
You are very blessed ❤
@@earthling8585❤
the daughter is very strong and don't ever go back to that want to be a killer
This is nuts that as we speak another Jewish Mother is headed to prison for the same thing. Sadly, in the current case Dan Markel was actually killed because of his Step-Mother, Donna Adelson. WTH? 🤦🏽♀️
Jews truly believe that they’re better than anyone! It’s drummed into them from birth. This woman is a typical one imo.
Im waiting for an "Archie"!!!😂😂😂
The original air date was 1991, not 2012 as stated in the description. The movie "Mother Knows Best" 1997, was pretty much spot on to the original story, down to the wired taped lmfao! This woman was capable of killing her own husband for life insurance. I'm surprised that didn't happen lol.
She kinda reminds me of the lady Tracey Ullman plays on “Tracey takes on…” I think fern rosenthal (retired housewife)
The OG Donna Adelson
The mother doesn’t seem to care at all about Alene’s feelings at all
This story has been made into a movie on Tubi...its ridiculous that she did this..
What movie???
@@annrodriguez2891 Lifetime has a good movie based on this Mother Knows Best
@@annrodriguez2891it's called Mother Knows Best, made in 1997 qith Joana Kerns as the psychotic mothrt and Christine Elise as the daughter
Aww! 😢😢 I feel for all parties involved.
Who came here after watching Mother Knows best? (Based on this story?)
Karen of the 80s
The movie really gives the impression that the people irl were glamorous. They look very plain. I understand that movies have to exaggerate but I'm still taken aback.
OMG I've had enough
I have never seen this kind of delulu
Count yourself a VERY lucky person! Unfortunately, I’ve witnessed a few in my family
😄😄$100.000 or Milton gets finished. 😂😂😂l wauld have sacrificed poor old Milton. This woman is having a laugh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this whole thing is crazy.
Update about these folks???
lol what about me getting away from a mob catching up to me and i start swimming in the air ... what the heck do that mean :D
She reminds me of an older Cindy Watts
Chiiiileeeeeeee please 🥺
I don't understand the father standing behind her for killing his daughters husband.
Real life Livia Soprano
Poor old Milton is finished anyway. 😂 carpet cleaner mr brownstain needs to be investigated ASAP. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Martha Stewart on Oprah show 2010 episode please 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I believe some of what the mother is saying but it is absolutely no excuse to pay somebody to have him killed
didn't give you the right to try to have him killed though, you didn't have to like him, plus she's a liar
This was on lifetime 🤦🏾♀️🤔
What movie was it plz do tell
@@shannons8724Mother Knows Best...
How did poor Milty survive being married to Lee all those years?!!!!!! The only thing i cam say is that, he never had a dull moment with her.
That mom is delusional.
For a second there I thought Oprah was talking about the Dan Markel murder, so similar
I love Oprah’s hair! I’m surprised she changed it
This is from the 80's if you see the audience hairstyles that's ALL from the 80's ... if you were born in 77 as I'm guessing from your name here, you wouldn't remember 😊❤
Bom dia Opraha Winfrey eu só Victoria parabéns pelo seu trabalho Deus ti a bênção e toda a sua família e sua vida. 👩🎓😁🐕❤❤❤
Just because he use her shower room she decided to kill him? Wild!
What is with the blinking?!?
I said the same thing.
Arthur Shawcross did the same in his interview. Must be a psychopaths thing.
Mr Kotter is in the house
I am surprised she only received 5 years in prison when others such as Dalia Dipolito have gotten life sentences.
Monster-In-Law was convicted 1990. Milty died 2009 (so he survived 19 years after she went to prison. Monster-in-Law bought the farm in 2012.
Everyone finds her to be funny but what's real is this woman hired someone to kill her daughters husband. Imagine If the hit man wasn't undercover, no one would be laughing then.
Yeah , i'm absolutely shocked by the comments finding this woman funny. There's nothing funny about her whatsoever so I'm thoroughly confused.
No tears and big glasses! Classic killer!
Minty didn't die when she went to prison the first time so he will survive this time around
Crazy defamation case he could’ve had against her
my adopted parents didn't try to kill my husband this lady is crazy..he never touched you lady
A mother in law and an elderly one who hired who she thought was a hitman to take the life of her son n law she must have real h****d in her heart toward her own son n law to have even gone that route Wow 😮
