What a Creep
Betty Broderick
Season 28, Episode 9
Betty Broderick is a convicted murderer known for the killing of her ex-husband, Dan Broderick, and his second wife, Linda Kolkena Broderick, in 1989. The case gained widespread media attention (including a memorable appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show) due to its dramatic elements of betrayal, divorce, and revenge.
Her crimes were the subject of two televison movies starring Meredith Baxter (The Betty Broderick Story) and a USA limited series (Dirty John: Betty) with Amanda Peet and Christian Slater.
Has she ever taken responsibility for the pain she has caused? We will get into that with this episode. Trigger Warnings: DV, mention of suicide, and murder.
