    DECEPTION: The Hustle That Didn't Hustle Back: Jen Shah

    Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast her as a larger-than-life personality with an enormous entourage, designer everything, and a lifestyle that demanded constant explanation. What Jen Shah didn't explain — until federal agents showed up at a cast event — was that her business empire was built on a telemarketing fraud scheme that targeted thousands of vulnerable people across the country, many of them elderly. She pled guilty in 2022 and was sentenced to six and a half years in federal prison. We look at the mechanics of the scheme, the victims it left behind, and what the cameras captured that nobody thought to question.

  2. DECEPTION: The Mother Who Invented an Illness: Gypsy Rose Blanchard

    6 DAYS AGO

    DECEPTION: The Mother Who Invented an Illness: Gypsy Rose Blanchard

    Gypsy Rose Blanchard spent most of her childhood in a wheelchair she didn't need, taking medications for conditions she didn't have, and telling the story her mother Dee Dee had written for her — of a sick little girl who needed constant care. Dee Dee Blanchard fabricated illness after illness, collecting charity, sympathy, and total control. When Gypsy finally found a way out, it ended in her mother's murder. We examine the crime through the lens of the real victim in this case: a young woman who had never been allowed to know what it felt like to be healthy, and who made a devastating choice to survive. Survivors of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP/MSP) or Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (FDIA) require specialized, trauma-informed care. Immediate help includes contacting Adult/Child Protective Services, or hotlines like the National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-SAFE). Specialized support includes therapy for PTSD, somatic therapy, and specialized resources like MunchausenSupport.com.
