• [S1:E1] Not your Average Valentine's Day
    Oct 30 2020
    In this jaw-dropping first season, hosts Amber Rasmussen and Athena Klingerman share the story of abuse by their mutual ex-husband. Ben wasn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill POS but a conniving and manipulative con man who shocked even his most loyal followers. But that's how a psychopath works, right? They make the victim out to be the crazy one. It turns out that his worst nightmare came true when two women [his ex-wives] whom he pitted against one another for years came together and brought to light his lies, scams, seedy tactics and so much more. In fact...by doing this podcast, they even saved one of his victims' lives!!!! Episode 1 of Ex-Wives Undercover is the 'preface' to the entire story. February 14, 2019, was a day that Amber (ex-wife #2) will never forget. After learning that her estranged husband, Ben, was a lying, cheating fraud...she finds herself entrapped in his home while he threatens to kill himself, his first wife Athena, and one of his many mistresses. Please Note: At the time of this recording, we used a faux name, 'Ben', for our ex-husband. Since then, we have come forward with his real name which is Brandon Johnson. Seasons one and two of Ex-Wives Undercover are currently being made into a docuseries for TV! Stay tuned for more information. DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN STORY TO SHARE?
