Criminality

Special episode alert for two reasons! First and foremost, Melissa is home from the hospital and shares what happened and how she is doing now (much better, thankfully)! Secondly, it’s special because in lieu of a new story we decided to dedicate some time to Scandoval by recapping Part 2 of the VPR Season 10 reunion, and wow, just wow.From pill bottle antics to Andy parenting James, Melissa and Rebekah provide their insights on the reunion and each cast member. Melissa catches two moments Rebekah missed that are truly weird, and Rebekah wants to capitalize on Raquel’s accountability blazer.Melissa gave the following clues for next episode:BROTHERFLORIDAVH1As always, they end the show with what shows they are watching:MELISSA: ID Discovery, The Curious Case of Natalia GraceREBEKAH: PARAMOUNT + Fatal Attraction TV SeriesWe are @criminalityshow on IG/FB + TwitterWe are @criminalitypodcastTikTok on TikTokYou can say hi and tell us what you’re watching: criminalityshow@gmail.comEnjoy the show?

Today’s episode is on FYAH! At least Rebekah thinks so and she’s going to be really disappointed if you don’t agree. She’s heating things up in Miami and sharing the cinematic story of Alexia Echeverria – seriously, her life is a movie and she even stars as herself in the Netflix documentary, Cocaine Cowboys.But you more likely know Alexia from The Real Housewives of Miami; the doomed franchise that was canceled after 3 seasons in 2014. In 2021 they rebooted on Peacock and the women are hotter than ever. Put on some neon swimwear and tune in to hear about Alexia’s drug cartel connection, and her many losses, loves, and lawsuits.Stick around to the end of the episode where Melissa and Rebekah give a detailed account of their time together in New York City, including two near altercations!Melissa gave the following clues for next episode:VH1FLORIDABROTHERHere’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:Melissa: Baby J, John Mulaney Comedy Special, NetflixRebekah: Jewish Matchmaking, NetflixSOURCESMiami New TImeshttps://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/peter-rosello-real-housewives-son-turns-himself-in-for-nut-slapping-a-bum-6533328Daily Mail UKhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9881505/RHOM-alum-Alexia-Echevarria-opens-marriage-cocaine-cowboy-Pedro-Pegy-Rosello.htmlhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4335000/Housewife-Alexia-sues-stepsons-mansion-Maserati.htmlNY Posthttps://pagesix.com/2022/01/06/rhom-star-alexia-echevarrias-son-arrested-for-domestic-violence/Peoplehttps://people.com/tv/rhom-star-alexia-echevarria-son-peter-rosello-arrested-accused-of-domestic-violence/CBS Newshttps://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/ex-husband-alexia-echevarria-pedro-rosello-cocaine-charges/I Real Housewives.comhttp://www.irealhousewives.com/2017/09/alexia-echevarria-hit-with-foreclosure.htmlStarcasmhttps://starcasm.net/herman-and-alexia-echevarria-sued-by-country-club-for-166k-in-back-dues/https://starcasm.net/alexia-echevarria-suing-over-sons-near-fatal-car-crash/Distractifyhttps://www.distractify.com/p/what-happened-to-alexia-echevarria-son#:~:text=What%20happened%20to%20'The%20Real,car%20accident%20before%20Season%202All ABout TTRHhttps://www.allabouttrh.com/2023/03/16/rhom-alexia-echevarria-still-not-speaking-to-adriana-de-moura-says-adriana-has-went-on-a-press-tour-bringing-up-things-from-the-past/https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/3542228/rhom-alexia-echevarrias-mom-dead-battle-covid-wedding-day/RHOM Season 1-3 Recaphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmM0K3_Ok4cNetflixhttps://www.netflix.com/title/80996810Peacockhttps://www.peacocktv.com/watch/playback/vod/GMO_00000000209988_02_HDSDR/df01824a-7ba0-3b8e-9a94-9634d558b5ed?paused=truehttps://www.peacocktv.com/watch/playback/vod/GMO_00000000211856_02_HDSDR/5bf0674a-0788-3ed5-95b0-cfb14709a994?paused=trueFYAH Audiana De Mourahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZZmhlBpoY8See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Nick Lachey hoped for a red hot career but as Melissa reveals in today's episode, it was only ever luke-warm at best.As the frontman of the boy-band, 98 degrees, Nick longed for a solo career that would take him to the next level. Meanwhile his future wife, Jessica Simpson, was desperate to step out of Britney and Christna’s shadows. This would be a marriage made in heaven — or at least on MTV’s reality show, “Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.”Though Nick’s body temperature was normal, it seems there was a white hot rage that boiled beneath his frosted tip surface, and he directed it at unsuspecting people which got him into some legal and criminal trouble.Tune in for some iconic reality show moments and to hear Melissa and Rebekah’s rating of boy bands from the 90’s and early 00’s.Rebekah gave the following clues for next episode:MANSIONMASERATIMIAMIHere’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:Melissa: Seeking Brother Husband, TLCRebekah: How to Get Rich, NetflixWe are @criminalityshow on IG/FB + TwitterWe are @criminalitypodcastTikTok on TikTokYou can say hi and tell us what you’re watching: criminalityshow@gmail.comEnjoy the show?

Is it too soon to look back on 2020 with fondness? Not for the hellscape we lived, but for the reality shows Netflix gave us? Love is Blind, My Unorthodox Life, Selling Sunset, and the subject of today’s episode: Bling Empire.Rebekah asks us to go back to the moment we meet Kelly Mi Li and re-examine her story which includes two guys; the raging red power ranger and a scamming first husband. She also asks us to be honest and admit to buying ringtones in the early aughts - who knew such a nostalgic memory would be at the center of this story’s multi-million dollar scam?! Come for the sugar baby stories, stay to find out if Kelly will win in her lawsuit against your favorite streamer and mine; NETFLIX!We watched a lot of over the top wealth on display in the show, but her first husband Lin Miao, was making his money under the radar and thought he was above the law.Melissa gave the following clues for next episode:MTVMUSICMARRIAGEHere’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:Melissa: Jury Duty, Amazon PrimeRebekah: Beef, NetflixWe are @criminalityshow on IG/FB + TwitterWe are @criminalitypodcastTikTok on TikTokYou can say hi and tell us what you’re watching: criminalityshow@gmail.comEnjoy the show?

Melissa invites us to Dixon, Kentucky, where we meet Amy and Tammy Slaton, stars of the TLC show, 1000 Pound Sisters. Much like their weight loss journeys, this story is full of ups and downs.)While issues with their weight caused them immense physical and emotional pain, there is nothing criminal about being overweight. It’s the choices they made when the money started rolling in that led to some big trouble including excessive “partying” (TLC euphemism!), and shoplifting. The supporting characters in the sisters' lives also inflicted pain and caused them to rely on each other even more.Today’s episode is Rebekah gave the following clues for next episode:LOS ANGELESHOT SAUCEPOWER RANGERHere’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:Melissa: 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, TLCRebekah: Wellmania, NetflixWe are @criminalityshow on IG/FB + TwitterWe are @criminalitypodcastTikTok on TikTokYou can say hi and tell us what you’re watching: criminalityshow@gmail.comEnjoy the show?
