The Girlfriends S5/E2: The Busted Nut

The Girlfriends S5/Bonus Ep 1: Get Back Down Here Off Your High Horse

In the years leading up to Derek’s conviction, his victims sometimes came forward to the media about their experiences.  But when they did so, the reaction from the public wasn’t always sympathetic.  In bonus episode one, Anna takes a closer look at the stigma that surrounds romance fraud with journalist Rachel Monroe, who covered Derek’s sentencing for The Atlantic back in 2018.   In this four part mini-series, we take a deep dive into our archive of never before heard interviews, to take a closer look at the key themes that underpinned Trust Me Babe.    If you’re affected by any of the themes in this show, our charity partners NO MORE have available resources at https://www.nomore.org [https://www.nomore.org/].
