Love, Lust, and Lies: How Two Ex-Wives Exposed a Master Romance Con-Man with Amber Rasmussen

What if your husband was living a complete lie?

In this gripping episode of lovelustlaw, host Michele Locke sits down with storyteller and podcast host Amber Rasmussen, co-host of Ex-Wives Undercover: Liars, Cheaters & Love Cons and one of the women whose story inspired the shocking docuseries Don’t Date Brandon.

Amber shares how a whirlwind Tinder romance turned into a terrifying web of deception involving manipulation, fake illnesses, cheating, gaslighting, burner phones, and emotional abuse at the hands of serial con artist Brandon Johnson. After uncovering the truth, Amber teamed up with fellow survivor Athena Klingerman to create the podcast Ex-Wives Undercover, using their experiences to expose toxic relationship patterns and help others recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.

In this powerful conversation, Amber opens up about:

🔥 Love-bombing and the red flags she missed
🔥 The emotional toll of narcissistic abuse
🔥 Testifying against her abuser in court
🔥 How technology was used to manipulate and control
🔥 Rebuilding her identity, trust, and confidence after betrayal

Amber also shares how her healing journey led her to launch her spirituality-focused podcast Next Realm, where she explores intuition, connection, and life beyond the physical world, including powerful conversations about signs from loved ones who have passed.
