Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a ... more

  • Had me hooked within the first few minutes!

    I hadn’t watched Clayton’s season of The Bachelor, so I wasn’t familiar with him, but this story has completely pulled me in. The layers of his turmoil, along with the exploration of Laura’s mental health, are told in such a compelling way that I can’t stop listening. I love the commentator’s delivery. She has a natural gift for storytelling, and even the background music feels essential, almost like another character in the story.I’m completely gripped by this podcast and keep diving into more ... more

  • Shocking

    This was a fantastic investigation. Absolutely sickening to see what these men went through. A toxic liar enabled by her parents. I hope they are all held fully accountable.

  • Diabolical

    This is thoroughly researched, very well told, without partiality or emotional bias.

    So many people lie and defame those who have rejected them, but Laura Owens has taken this to extreme heights. It is poetic justice to hear she is finally reaping what she’s sewn. She has tried and almost been successful at least three times to destroy men’s lives, all because they had the audacity to say “no thank you”. The legal system is not one to play with.

    It’s nice to see some evil people get their co... more

    This is a really well told and shocking story. My heart goes out to the individuals targeted, I just can’t believe how much hell one person can raise. A seriously good listen.
