their alleged best friend, Jessica

0:39

Paulie. Imagine falling for someone

0:41

0:46

0:59

control and the need for legislation

1:01

when it comes to advancing technology

1:03

and the emergence of a. I.

1:06

These women were not just victims

1:08

of deception, they were emotionally. And

1:10

psychologically manipulated by someone who knew

1:12

them intimately and push them to

1:14

their extremes. Through the stories of

1:21

love bombing, gas lighting, and the

1:23

devastating impact of online deception is

1:26

not just about exposing the crime,

1:28

it's about preventing future ones from

1:30

happening and empowering these victims to

1:32

seek justice. Something Was Wrong is

1:35

hosted by Tiffany Reese, who has

1:37

a remarkable track record and. Uplifting

1:39

1:43

empathetic, informative and deeply impactful. I

1:46

believe the series will resonate with

1:48

you. It's a gripping, an eye

1:50

opening journey into the darker aspects

1:52

of human behavior, and I think

1:54

you'll find it both compelling and

1:56

thought provoking. I'm about to play

1:58

a preview from something. The wrong follow

2:00

something was wrong on the Wonder He app

2:02

or wherever you get your podcast. This.

2:06

Season on something. Was wrong.

2:08

The. Sydney. Morning

2:14

they say oh, it's publicly

2:16

listed on the internet. Is

2:21

available. Oh. Is your

2:23

privacy important? You. It's

2:26

important, all your victim still. Okay,

2:29

Yeah. I

2:31

have so much proof it's insane. Baby

2:33

girl. So.

2:37

I'm sitting there at work and

2:39

I get this message requests on

2:41

Instagram Oh than it is literally

2:43

a whole as book. Talking

2:46

about. Someone using

2:48

my pictures in Iowa see

2:50

Cassius girls are like you're

2:52

kidding and I believe that

2:54

for one second and Zola

2:56

know it's this, is real.

2:59

I had to tell her three years into

3:01

the relationship quote unquote with Brody that I've

3:03

been talking to the guy I haven't met

3:06

and she's terrified. For me. I wanted

3:08

to fly there because used in the

3:10

hospital and she just had the worst

3:12

feeling about it. At

3:14

the Like. The reason she took so long

3:16

to tell me was because. Deep.

3:18

Down she knew something was

3:21

not right. From. The

3:23

moment more image as I

3:25

thought that. Desolate, Brady. Did

3:28

you tell her that We as we

3:30

as I did. I

3:33

was playing and just as bad I

3:35

was crying my eyes out. She's rubbing

3:37

my back and seeing Christian music hoping

3:39

that I can get through this. He

3:43

said this sounds like.

3:45

A true crime documentary waiting

3:47

to happen where there is

3:49

someone? Obsessed with another person

3:52

and day. Ultimately end up dead.

3:55

I never thought or number could

3:58

fathom it getting worse. or crazier

4:00

or weirder, because it was already so

4:02

bizarre, and then I'm on the phone and

4:05

we connect the dots, and it's

4:07

like 10 steps way worse. I

4:11

met quote Brody in July of

4:14

2019 and then Jess only

4:16

a month or two after.

4:19

I don't know that Jess could be physically that

4:22

close to Bre and Bre not

4:24

realizing that as she's sending texts, Jess

4:27

is responding. So there has to be somebody else. There

4:29

has to be somebody else in this picture, right? Jess

4:33

was screaming at me and just basically saying,

4:35

I want nothing to do with you since

4:37

you think I'm a fake person and played

4:39

it till the very end. I'm

4:43

like blowing their phones up, like

4:45

please answer the fucking phone. Finally

4:48

Bre's roommate picks up and I'm like,

4:50

has Bre ever met Brody in real life?

4:53

And it was like a

4:55

deadpan silence and then I just hear

4:57

her like scream cry. Oh my

4:59

God, it was horrible. That's

5:02

when it truly sat in that I'm dealing with a

5:04

sociopath that I welcomed her into my home. She

5:07

has this crazy twisted mindset. She

5:10

somehow manages to somehow have this

5:12

web of knowledge for all of

5:14

the people she's talking to and

5:16

all of the stories that she

5:19

has to keep straight. I

5:21

genuinely have the purest of intentions

5:23

and it's so sick and cruel

5:25

how someone can keep something going

5:27

like that. Especially

5:30

your best friend who you do

5:32

everything with and you live with

5:34

and you confide in backstabbing. I

5:38

didn't know she still had access to that

5:40

camera in our common space. She

5:43

was very angry with me. That was the first

5:45

time he scared me. That's when

5:47

I tried to get away and the first time he had

5:49

overdosed ended up in the hospital. I

5:52

hear bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, right on the window.

5:54

I run upstairs, I grab her son, I

5:57

grab the dog and we go upstairs and

5:59

the person is shining their boss way in

6:01

my bedroom window. I'm freaking out

6:03

calling the police, crying but also

6:05

completely frozen like I couldn't move.

6:07

All I can say with please

6:09

hurry, Flee Thirty three Very. The.

6:11

Suicide. Everything was exactly the same and

6:14

I was just like a scary insane

6:16

movie and for all these years she

6:18

was friends with both of them and

6:20

kept them so separate. They. Were

6:23

like let us take us a social media I'm done.

6:25

Bless us. Exposure. I

6:28

was the first one and. Then

6:30

I called her and I'm so

6:32

psyched. what the fuck she is

6:35

still doing this and we were

6:37

jumping up and down freaking out.

6:39

I can not believe that she

6:42

is still doing that and to

6:44

this extent the similarities are so

6:46

crazy a her thought process and

6:49

her games and manipulation. Is

6:51

all still the same? as

6:53

all heightened to this expert

6:55

level? Breeze. Like oh,

6:58

there's another victim there's this act on

7:00

adding more girls were getting more stories.

7:02

This brody time period of

7:05

my life was the lowest

7:07

I've ever been. I.

7:10

Was in a very very dark place. It.

7:13

Takes a special kind of

7:15

sick individuals to do this

7:18

to one person, let alone

7:20

the twenty plus. It's Kremlin.

7:22

All and see should be

7:25

in jail. And.

7:27

Fortunately, based on the evidence that we

7:29

have just couple, he has been doing

7:31

this for. Eighteen years. Is

7:34

I'm not surprised by that. I

7:37

am working on it. He on
