In 1992, a 17-year-old girl named Amy Fisher shot Mary Jo Buttafuoco on the doorstep of her Long Island home — igniting one of the most infamous tabloid scandals of the decade. It was a story about sex, betrayal, and violence that consumed America. But behind the headlines and the chaos was a nine-year-old girl whose life would never be the same.This week, Rachel sits down with Jessie Buttafuoco, daughter of Mary Jo and Joey, to talk about what it was like growing up in the long shadow of that scandal — the trauma, the public judgment, and the complicated process of healing from something the world refused to let die.This conversation is about identity, forgiveness, and what happens when you inherit a narrative you never asked for.--- --- —VISIT OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!ROGERS HOOD APOTHECARYGo to rogershood.com and use code RACHEL at checkout for 10% OFF--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!: ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Everyone’s talking about Netflix’s new series Wayward — but for me, it’s not just entertainment. It’s my life story.In this deeply personal episode, I break down what’s real and what’s made for TV in the hit series — because I actually lived it. Long before Wayward became a pop culture obsession, I attended CEDU, the original “therapeutic boarding school” that inspired this world. I graduated from its first campus, endured its methods, and witnessed firsthand how a program built on healing was actually rooted in Synanon, a 1960s cult known for psychological control and emotional abuse.Watching Wayward sent me into full-blown PTSD — not because it’s fiction, but because it’s frighteningly accurate. If you’ve been bingeing the series and find yourself wondering how much of it could really happen… this episode is for you.💡 In this episode, you’ll hear:    •    What was real in Wayward — and what was dramatized for TV    •    The shocking history of CEDU, the program that inspired an entire industry of “troubled teen” schools    •    How the Synanon cult shaped the foundation of emotional-growth education    •    The disturbing practices that students endured in the name of therapy    •    The lasting trauma — and what healing looks like when you finally tell the truth--- --- ---PLEASE LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE, AND GIVE US A 5-STAR REVIEW!:  ratethispodcast.com/missunderstood Become a Patreon Member: https://www.patreon.com/c/MissUnderstoodwithRachelUchitelShop Miss Understood Merch https://missumerch.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Rachel on Instagram!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/racheluchitelnyc/?hl=enFollow Rachel on TikTok! https://www.tiktok.com/@itsracheluchitelExecutive Producer: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Carmona Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The DEA was circling, the deals were getting riskier, and one wrong move could mean prison — or worse.Now, in Part Two of this exclusive three-part series, TJ reveals the scale of the cartel’s cocaine business, how he gained Escobar’s trust, and the close calls that nearly ended it all.🎧 Don’t miss Part Two of this unbelievable saga.

September 11th is a day that forever changed the world — and for me, it is deeply personal. I lost my fiancé on that day, and each year I reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of the FDNY, who lost 343 of their own in the line of duty.In this special episode of Miss Understood, I sit down with FDNY Commissioner Robert S. Tucker, the 35th Fire Commissioner of New York City. Commissioner Tucker’s story is unique — he never served as a firefighter, but his lifelong connection to the department and his new role leading the FDNY give him a profound perspective on legacy, culture, and the future of public safety.Together, we talk about what it means to inherit the weight of the FDNY’s history, the department’s priorities moving forward, and how the legacy of 9/11 continues to shape its mission today. After our conversation, Commissioner Tucker gave me the honor of visiting one of New York’s firehouses — a moment that left me humbled, emotional, and more connected than ever to the sacrifice made by these heroes.What You’ll Hear in This Episode: • The personal and professional journey that led Robert Tucker to become Fire Commissioner • How the FDNY continues to honor and carry forward the legacy of 9/11 • Challenges and changes facing the department under new leadership • The human side of the FDNY — brotherhood, resilience, and generational service • My personal reflections on visiting a firehouse where nearly every member was lost on 9/11This episode is both a tribute and a reminder: remembering isn’t passive — it’s about carrying forward the lessons, courage, and humanity of that day.If this conversation moved you, please subscribe, rate, and share this episode to honor the memory of 9/11 and the ongoing resilience of the FDNY.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/miss-understood-with-rachel-uchitel/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
