Betrayal: Real-Life Tales of Deception

0:00A new TV series called Betrayal, Secrets, and Lies launches soon on ABC. It's adapted from the hit true crime podcast Betrayal hosted by Andrea Gunning. The show explores egg-gripping real-life tales of deception, from hidden family secrets to outright scams. One standout episode looks at fertility fraud, where a woman's lie upends lives. Another follows a survivor named Crystal, who secretly recorded her husband's abuse, leading to his conviction and jail time. But even after that win, she faced a tough blow, having to pay him spousal support. Gunning notes how people like Crystal channel their hurt into action, pushing for legal changes in California to protect abuse victims. The host finds it inspiring to see survivors transform pain into purpose, and she expects the series to connect deeply with audiences, much like the podcast's loyal fans. Kesta premiered this Sunday at 10 p.m. Eastern, 9 p.m. Central, on ABC, with streams available the next day on Hulu and Disney+.
