Love Lies & Alibis Quick Hit: Why y'all still taking relationship advice from men who cheat?!

🚨 LOVE, LIES & ALIBIS 🚨 Can we have an uncomfortable conversation? Why are we taking relationship advice from men who can't seem to stay faithful to the women they're with? 👀 Every week there's a podcast clip telling women what we're doing wrong, what men want, and how to keep a relationship together... Then a few months later we're finding out the host has a wife, a girlfriend, a side chick, and a public apology video. So let's talk about it. Can a cheater still give good relationship advice? Does good advice become bad advice when the messenger is a hypocrite? Or are we listening for entertainment and calling it expertise? Tonight, we're stirring the pot and asking the questions social media has been dancing around. Grab your wine, because this one might get messy. 🍷 👇🏾 SOUND OFF IN THE COMMENTS 👇🏾 If a relationship podcaster gets exposed for cheating, are you still listening to their advice? #LoveLiesAndAlibis #MelaninMysteries #RelationshipTalk #DatingDebates #PodcastDiscussion #BlackPodcast #RelationshipPodcast #DatingIn2026 #Cheating #PodcastLife

One Bad Night: Get Off Me

A beautiful 22-year-old woman. A festival packed with thousands of people. And one man whose ego couldn't handle being told no. Tiaran Poyau was educated, adventurous, and had her entire future ahead of her. She had just earned her master's degree, landed her first accounting job, and was ready to take on the world. But during Brooklyn's 2016 J'Ouvert Festival, a stranger started dancing on her without permission. Tiaran's response? "Get off me." Four words that should've ended the interaction. Instead, they sparked a chain of events that would leave one family planning a funeral and another family watching their loved one head to prison. This week on One Bad Night, Tiffany aka Det. Lightskinn breaks down the senseless murder of Tiaran Poyau, the absolutely ridiculous way police caught her killer, and why some people let their ego write checks their common sense can't cash. Because cousins... Nobody should lose their life for telling somebody to leave them alone.

The New Era Sharon Patterson & Larketa Collier

Cousins... This week we are headed to Detroit, Michigan to talk about two teenagers who had plenty of options and somehow landed on murder. When 16-year-old Larketha Collier and her 17-year-old girlfriend Sharon Patterson were told they couldn't see each other unsupervised anymore, they came up with a plan so stupid I had to stop reading and stare at the wall a couple times. Instead of doing what normal teenagers do, these two decided that 64-year-old Bertha Atkins had to go. And if that wasn't enough foolishness, after murdering Grandma Bertha and setting the house on fire, these little hoodlums went to the movies to "get their minds off it." Girl... What?! Join me as we discuss teenage obsession, Grandma Bertha's tragic murder, the confession, the trial, the appeals, and the resentencing that would come years later. And as always, I need to know what y'all think because this case had me asking "WHY?" from beginning to end. 💜 If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a 5-star review wherever you're listening.

Introducing: Love Lies & Alibis: Quick Hit

🎙️ LOVE, LIES & ALIBIS: QUICK HIT "What's up, y'all? Welcome to the very first Love, Lies & Alibis Quick Hit. Now unlike our regular Love, Lies & Alibis discussions, these are gonna be short, sweet, and straight to the point. Just a few minutes of relationship talk, hot takes, and the kind of questions that'll have y'all arguing in the comments and texting your friends. So let's get into today's Quick Hit. I was watching that classic episode of A Different World where Dwayne Wayne stops Whitley's wedding to Byron, and it got me thinking... Why do we think wedding protests are so romantic? Because baby, if I'm standing at the altar and somebody comes running through the doors talking about, 'Wait! I love you!' We already got a problem. But if my fiancé actually leaves me standing there after I done spent all this damn money? Somebody getting introduced to this bouquet personally. 💐😒 Now don't get me wrong, Dwayne and Whitley got their happy ending, but can we talk about Byron? Because that man got embarrassed in front of his family, her family, and everybody else who showed up for the free food. So I want to know... Are wedding protests romantic? Or are they selfish and completely out of line? Drop your thoughts in the comments, and I'll see y'all on the next Love, Lies & Alibis Quick Hit."

The New Era Nadiyah Venable & ShaRon Moens

A love triangle. A jealous rage. A pregnant 20-year-old. And four children whose lives would never be the same. This week on Melanin Mysteries, we're heading to Newark, New Jersey, to discuss the tragic case of Sha-Ron Moens and Nadiyah Venable. What started as a messy relationship involving a much older man, his estranged partner, and his young girlfriend quickly spiraled into a deadly confrontation that would leave one woman dead, another facing life in prison, and multiple children caught in the crossfire. We'll break down the complicated relationship between Sha-Ron, Nadiyah, and Ken Jones, the events leading up to the attack, the heartbreaking testimony from a 13-year-old girl forced to relive the worst day of her life, and the questions that still surround Nadiyah's mysterious death in prison just one year after her conviction. Cousins... this case had me talking to my microphone. Grab your wine, your sweet tea, your edible, or whatever gets you through listening to people make terrible life choices, because this one is messy, heartbreaking, and completely avoidable. ⚠️ Listener Discretion Advised: This episode contains discussions of murder, domestic violence, graphic violence, and crimes involving children that may be disturbing to some listeners. #TrueCrime #BlackTrueCrime #MelaninMysteries #ShaRonMoens #NadiyahVenable
