Don’t Date Brandon: preview

“He was vulnerable, open, funny, honest, charming,” Amber Rasmussen explains of how she and many other women were hoodwinked by serial manipulator Brandon Johnson. But after her hasty engagement raises some red flags, she reaches out to Athena, his ex-wife, and makes a devastating discovery: her Prince Charming has a history of criminal and coercive behavior, with restraining orders out against him from women in multiple states.

Consequently, Amber and Athena create the podcast Ex-Wives Undercover, which goes viral and results in jaw-dropping stories from scores of Brandon's other victims. For Athena, that was “15 years of hell,” as her husband cheated and deceived, and for his various ex partners, obsessive stalking, intimidation, and embezzlement. Eventually, things culminate with a home invasion and attempting kidnapping, all caught on camera and leading to Brandon’s 10-year prison sentence.
