Killing It: How I survived marriage, the media, and the murder of my husband

The "Killing It" Podcast: How I survived marriage, the media, and the murder of my husband.

When Gemma Gold’s husband was found murdered in 2022, the story didn’t just make headlines — it exploded. He was a once-celebrated London comedy writer with a fading career. She was the wife everyone thought they understood. But as whispers turned into accusations, Gemma became the centre of a relentless media storm — painted as everything from grieving widow to prime suspect. The truth? Far messier. They were on the brink of divorce. The press was obsessed with her alleged affair. And the narrative spiralled out of control before she ever had the chance to speak. Now, for the first time, Gemma sits down with award-winning author Gabriel Smith to tell her side of the story — unfiltered, unflinching, and far more complicated than anyone expected. This is a story about love turning sour, about how quickly a life can be rewritten by headlines, and about what it really means to survive when the whole world thinks they know what you did. Because sometimes, the most dangerous story… is the one everyone believes. This is a public episode.
