Episodes

  • Melissa and Rebekah take a festive stroll down memory lane with a holiday-themed detour to Graystone Manor. In this special holiday recap, they revisit The Real Housewives of New York, Season 10, Episode 9—aka The Nutcracker Episode—and unwrap all the drama, laughs, and chaos.

    Yes, you remember that Nutcracker moment, but this re-watch is packed with surprises: a candlelit cake collision (thanks, Dorinda), an unforgettable blood drive, and a Luann quote so good it needs its own merch line.

    Cozy up with your favorite holiday beverage and join us for a sleigh ride of RHONY nostalgia. Plus, stick around for an important announcement about what’s coming in 2025 for CRIMINALITY 2025!

    Happily Holidays from Melissa and Rebekah!

  • Janice Dickinson: World's First Super(lative) Model

    Melissa brings us a star-studded episode today—so channel your inner supermodel, strike a pose, and listen up!

    When you think of Janice Dickinson, your mind might jump to her unforgettable run on America’s Next Top Model. But there’s so much more to the self purported “world’s first supermodel” than her TV persona. In this episode, Melissa dives into how Janice truly saw her role on the show and what she thought about the way she was portrayed.

    From steamy romances with Hollywood hotties, and headline-grabbing lawsuits, to her brave decision to speak out against one of Hollywood’s most infamous predators, Janice’s story is as bold and unapologetic as she is. Get ready for an episode full of revelations and runway-worthy drama!

    Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

    Melissa: The Later Daters, NETFLIX

    Rebekah: Woman of the Hour, NETFLIX

    Join us in two weeks for a special holiday episode featuring an iconic CHristmas episode from the Bravo canon!

  • This episode dives deep into a story that’s far more captivating than anything the RHONY reboot has offered so far. Leave behind Rebecca Minkoff’s lackluster appearance on the show as Rebekah pulls back the curtain on the real intrigue: a journey of ambition, family, and faith, woven through fashion, Scientology, and scandal.

    We trace Rebecca Minkoff’s meteoric rise from her early days as a designer, where she struck gold by capturing a cultural zeitgeist, to the helm of a company steeped in the teachings of Scientology. And yes, we’ll unpack the story behind her infamous “Morning After Bag”—though after this episode, you might need more than a purse to help you  recover. But the drama won’t stop there—her family connections take this tale to an entirely new level.

    Enter Rebecca’s father, a prominent Scientologist and doctor, whose career became mired in controversy. His practice was linked to not one but two wrongful deaths—tragic losses that many believe could have been entirely avoided. The victims’ stories serve as a stark reminder of the high stakes involved when ambition and ideology intersect.

    Here’s what the hosts are watching:

    Melissa: St. Dennis, Peacock

    Rebekah: All the Housewives!

    Melissa gave three clues for the next episode:

    Bill Cosby

    Ryan Seacrest

    Tyra Banks

  • Melissa is bringing the laughs as she shares the trials and tribulations of our comedy king, Tracy Morgan. From his trauma filled childhood to his turbulent adulthood, Tracy used it all to make him one of the most recognizable names in comedy. Tracy wasn’t just an actor on a show ABOUT a reality show, he was also host on the brief and oft-forgot reality show “Scare Tactics.”

    But when he barely survives a life changing accident, Tracy shows us a side of him we’ve never seen before. While grieving a devastating loss and surviving two weeks in a coma, Tracy had to fight not only  for his recovery but for restitution from the corporate giant who played a role in the accident.

    Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

    Melissa: The Manhattan Alien Abduction, Netflix

    Rebekah: English Teacher, Hulu

    Rebekah gave three clues for the next episode:

  • On today’s episode, Rebekah is taking you on a real journey to a reality show you’ve probably never seen and not because it was an early aughts one-hit-wonder, but because it was never actually a show. Wait, what?

    Join her as she introduces you to a young man with big dreams, four names, and zero idea of how to produce a reality show —  but he doesn’t let that stop him, because Nik Russian is nothing if not a dreamer. Despite his lack of credentials, 30 willing participants give up their jobs, homes and a year of their lives for a shot at winning big and becoming famous - what could go wrong? Let Rebekah count the ways.

  • Can #MomTok survive a Criminality episode? We’re about to find out because Melissa is diving headfirst into the whirlwind world of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” with a focus on none other than the notorious Taylor Frankie Paul.

    Taylor isn't your typical Mormon mom—in fact, her connection to the faith seems more rumor than reality. But what she *is*, is the OG Mom at the center of #MomTok’s rise, fall, and scandalous swinging saga. For years, #MomTok thrived  in one very specific corner of the internet, until a shocking soft-swinging scandal blew up in Utah, grabbing global attention. 

    And just when you thought it couldn't get wilder, Taylor’s personal life took center stage—new man, new drama. From cheating accusations and surprise pregnancies to arrests and criminal charges, it’s a non-stop reality TV-level ride. 

    But wait—there’s another Mormon mom who went viral in the #MomTok universe for an unforgettable moment that you won’t believe. Melissa breaks it all down, so whether you’re deeply entrenched in #MomTok drama or just catching up, this story has a little something for everyone.

    Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

    Melissa: Jailbreak, Netflix

    Rebekah: Nobody Wants This, Netflix

    Rebekah gave three clues for the next episode:

  • Though she is best known for her brief and bumpy marriage to Charlie Sheen, there’s a lot more to Brooke Mueller and Rebekah wants to share stories and scenes that paint a fuller picture.

    Brooke was a Palm Beach socialite turned Hollywood party girl, despite her decidedly lackluster acting resume. She didn’t land great roles but she had money, famous friends, and an insatiable appetite for fun, and sometimes that’s enough to keep you in Hollywood.

    On the heels of her tumultuous marriage to Charlie, Brooke made her reality TV debut with her “best friend, Paris, on the Oxygen show, “The World According to Paris.”  ( with friends like Paris, who needs enemies?) Unfortunately, it was Brooke’s off camera activity that seemed to perpetuate her fame and dominate the headlines. Run ins with the law and seveIt was in these high end treatment centers that Brooke made connections that would ultimately place her near the investigation around Matthew Perry’s tragic fatal overdose. 

    Whether you question her choices or cheer for her recovery, Brooke Mueller’s Hollywood story isn’t over,we just hope it doesn’t end up a tragedy.

  • Melissa delights us with a peek into one of TV’s brightest stars — Sherri Shepherd. Her charisma and drive took her from hit show to hit show and soon Sherri was on top of the world — just don’t ask her if it’s round or flat. But as these stories often reveal, the VIEW from the top isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.

    Sherri was one of the funniest women on tv, but things at home were anything but happy. Torn between work and caring for her son with special needs, Sherry struggled to make things with work with her first husband leading to their eventual divorce. She remarried and what follows with husband number two landed Sherri and her husband in court over a battle about surrogacy and parental responsibility.

    In an episode chock full of great tv clips and one decent Ba-ba Wa-Wa impression, this episode will also make you ponder what you might do in a similar situation.

    Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

    Melissa: Chimp Crazy, MAX

    Rebekah: Pop Star Academy, Netflix

    Rebekah gave three clues for the next episode:

    TWINS

    PARIS HILTON

    DENISE RICHARDS

  • ALL ABOARD: Since the most recent season of RHONJ derailed, Rebekah decided to course correct and include more than you probably care to know about the newest Jersey house husband, Luis Ruelas. He is more than Tre’s new love, more than a pizza oven business thief, he’s just a man in a “forgivity” shirt, asking people on social media, to trust him.

    But should we? If you ask his most recent ex, Vanessa Reiser, that would be a hard no. She outed him as an alleged narcissistic sociopath, but Luis has 99 problems and that’s just one.

    From “inventing businesses” to hiring investigators, Luis is always booked and busy doing the devil’s work. Rebekah will walk you through today’s episode, but beware, it’s a CRIMINALITY episode today, but could be a much darker story in the future.

    Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

    Melissa: American Murder: Lacy Peterson, Netflix

    Rebekah: RHOC, Bravo

    Melissa gave three clues for the next episode:

  • Melissa and Rebekah are back from a summer hiatus and waste no time getting back into the wild world of reality TV crimes. Melissa leads this week’s episode with a trip to one of her favorite places — TLC! She introduces us to TLC’s latest larger than life family, the Plaths’; stars of “Welcome to Plathville.”

    Join us as Melissa takes us with her to explore life on the Plath farm in Cairo, Georgia. No shoes? No problem. Nobody seems to wear any on this show and it bothers Melissa almost as much as the actual crimes committed by family matriarch, Kim Plath. Can we really blame Kim for her problematic parenting when all she really wants to do is listen to Meatloaf in her car in peace?! If her blood alcohol level is above the legal limit, then the answer is yes. This family has the veneer of the Von Trapps, but the behavior of the BRowns — who could ask for anything more?

    Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

    Melissa: Claim to Fame, Hulu/ABC

    Rebekah: Love is Blind UK, Netflix

  • This episode is a replay from December 2022. Since airing, the Chrisley’s have managed to stay in the news, most recently, as Julie Chrisley’s sentence is overturned citing lack of sufficient evidence of her direct involvement. Listen to this episode and let us know if YOU think she was involved or not!

    Happy Holidays from CRIMINALITY! We didn’t mean to, but I guess we are giving you a very CHRISLEY CHRISTMAS. Rebekah and Melissa reveal just how little she knew about the very boisterous, very blonde family that America got to know on the USA show, Chrisley Knows Best. We learn Todd is a fraud in every sense of the word and Julie is CRAFTY in more ways than one. Come for Todd’s decade long Ponzi scheme, and stay for his utterly petty and disgusting parenting style!

  • Melissa and Rebekah are on a brief summer hiatus! Due to the current obsession Tori Spelling’s podcast, please enjoy this REPLAY of their 25th episode about the legend herself. Criminality will be back with an all new episode on Aug 9, 2024!

    Welcome to the 25th episode of CRIMINALITY - because loving reality (TV) isn’t a crime! Melissa shares the “stori” of a woman who has TV in her blood. Tori Spelling grew up in a life of luxury due to the successful shows her Dad, Aaron Spelling, created. But she went on to have a “Rags to Riches in Reverse” kind of story. From a measly inheritance to back taxes, and a couple pricey lawsuits, Tori Spelling was “inn”over head financially. Today’s episode has a lot of nostalgic tv memories and a video clip you will never unsee!

  • Martha Stewart going to jail is one of those true stories that is stranger than fiction. Rebekah is excited for Melissa to get to know the many sides of Martha, and explain how this mogul ended up one of the most famous white collar criminals.

    Martha’s journey took an unexpected turn when she sold her shares in a biotech company in 2001; she says selling was always the plan, the SEC disagreed. But like lemons and lemonade, Martha made something beautiful out of of her conviction, and reinvented herself again - this time with one of the world’s most famous rappers by her side.

    Love her or fear her, Martha Stewart is a force to be reckoned with. Rebekah also shares her two encounters with the “higher priestess” of home cooking irl, and thankfully, both hosts are back Under Tori’s Spell!

    Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

    Melissa: Ren Faire, MAX

    Rebekah: Life After Lock Up: GYpsy Rose, Lifetime

    Melissa and Rebekah are taking a one-month summer hiatus! We will be back on August 9 with an all new episode! We will release popular oldies that we hope you enjoy while we refresh and plan for the new season!

  • This episode was previously recorded (but never aired) on February 27 (prior to the passing of Garrison Brown). In this episode, Melissa is joined by special guest, Amye Archer — host of one of our favorite shows, 'Little Miss Recap!

    While Rebekah is away, Melissa decides it’s a great time to go deep into SW history with an equally obsessed sisterphile to discuss the chaos that is season 2, Episode 10 of 'Sister Wives. This is the infamous episode that focuses on the Brown family's tumultuous move from Utah to Las Vegas. Their conversation takes analyzing Kody Brown to academic levels, NY Times worthy critiques of Robyn, and strong opinions on how they might have done things differently.

    In true CRIMINALITY form, they also touch on unrelated topics including their personal Enneagram numbers and other reality TV shows they’re watching 90 Day: The Single Life,' 'Married at First Sight,' 'Prison Brides,' and 'Love is Blind,' to name a few!

    You can learn more about Little Miss Recap on their website: https://www.littlemissrecap.com/ Check out their show wherever you listen to podcasts!

  • Reality TV loves little more than romantically pairing rich people with the poors. But what happens when the rich people frauded their way to wealth, and their rap sheet is larger than their stock portfolio? Rebekah will tell you as she shines a light on the OG matchmaker, Patti Stanger and her thrice retitled TV show, Millionaire Matchmaker.

    Patti herself was also the victim of a crime that remains unsolved and will have you double checking your hotel room the next time you travel. But you will really demand justice when you hear Patti ridicule the matchmaking hopefuls. Tyra walked so Patti Stanger could run.

    Come for the Tori Spelling segment, stay for Rebekah and Melissa’s real-time Patti Stanger discovery at the very end!

  • In the surprise of all surprises, Melissa announces that today’s story is about actor Gary Busey. Perhaps you will be surprised to learn that he was a regular on reality TV shows and really made the rounds from Celebrity Apprentice to Celebrity Rehab. Or maybe you knew that. Don’t worry, because that is the LEAST crazy part of today’s episode.

    Melissa teaches us Gary Busey 101 which involves “busey-isms,” and walks us through his legal troubles which range from pretty comical to very criminal. Tune in for a story you didn’t see coming. Speaking of seeing, watch out for Gary if you are driving in Los Angeles.

    Come for Busey, stay for a correction corner, previous story update, and another segment of “Under Tori’s Spell.”

  • Rebekah is not so reluctantly delving into the TLC waters today. When Melissa mentioned a possible cult connection for one of the couples on the current season of Seeking Sister Wife, it became clear Rebekah would need to dive in and report back. Even she was shocked by what she uncovered about a cult called The Alamo Christian Foundation.

    Justin and Becky Ryan seem like a pretty average couple, at least on the TLC spectrum of rankings. But once Rebekah reveals just how central the Alamo Christian Foundation was in their upbringing, it becomes impossible to view their creepy behavior the same way.

    She explores the serious crimes of Becky Ryan’s step-dad, Tony Alamo, which include body smuggling and kidnapping, and examine the Ryan’s dating tactics - are they simply peculiar or actually predatory?

    And you don’t want to miss Melissa and Rebekah’s newest “segment” at the top of the show where they share what they’ve learned from Tori Spelling’s new podcast, MisSpelling.

    Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

    Melissa: Unlocked: A Jail Experiment, Netflix

    Rebekah: The Tourist, Netflix

    Melissa gave the following clues for the next episode!
