When Jennair Gerardot suspects her husband, Mark, is having an affair with his dynamic and beautiful boss, Jennair begins secretly recording the new lovers. When Mark’s lies and deceit become too much to bear, Jennair begins recording herself as well, and then… she writes a suicide letter outlining a monstrous plan for vengeance. This cautionary tale is told through Jennair’s actual recordings, and with insight from esteemed clinical psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula, who helps unravel this true story of what can happen when powerful emotions like desire, betrayal and revenge take root in someone’s soul. Hosted and reported by Barbara Schroeder, writer/director of Netflix’s “Evil Genius.” Launching June 30.
Jennair’s acts of violence shock the world, but when her husband tells his side of the story- on national TV and in a book - backlash ensues, creating a whole new drama and great curiosity about the undisclosed confessional materials Jennair left behind.
The Gerardot’s love story began with the “Three Things” everyone needs in order to be happy in life. But not everybody is convinced this union is a love match. And decades later, this “perfect” marriage will crumble as temptation sets in.
Who is Meredith Sullivan Chapman? Mark Gerardo is enchanted by his new boss, but doesn’t want to lose his wife. Jennair enlists an unlikely co-conspirator to catch Mark and Meredith in the act, and unveils her secret recordings.
Jennair is now also recording her own conversations with Mark, capturing an almost unbelievable soundtrack of a marriage falling apart. When Mark still won’t confess all to Jennair, she ends up on top of a building, camera in hand, as she records a suicide attempt.
Jennair confronts Meredith, whispering an alarming caution to her “rival”. Then, Jennair gears up for revenge. An unsuspecting Meredith is ambushed. Jennair sends Mark 4 last texts, before ending her own life. Jennair’s suicide letter contains a gruesome dying wish.
Dr. Ramini reveals who is really to blame for this tragedy, and speaks to the role mental health played. Mark Gerardot faces accusations from Jennair’s letter. Meredith’s legacy is treasured by friends and family. And the cat Jennair left behind…gets a final farewell.
Dr. Ramani is in studio to answer questions from listeners, she shares her thoughts about the term “healthy narcissism” and then reveals the key component you need in order to have great relationships.
For the first time, Dr. Ramani Durvasula and Mark Gerardot meet in person. Mark asks Dr. Ramani why she used the word narcissist to describe him, and then Dr. Ramani has some questions for Mark. And finally, Dr. Ramani reveals the most important psychological tool that would have helped all involved in this tragedy.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the podcast episode titled "Bad Bad Thing: The Blackstone Sisters." The storytelling and production quality were exceptional, making it a gripping and immersive experience. The episode brilliantly delved into the intriguing lives of the Blackstone Sisters, providing a fascinating blend of history, mystery, and drama. http://www.greenvillecityguide.com/brooklyn-ny/local-services/kraft-paper-studio The hosts did a commendable job in their research, uncovering the captivating and often enigmatic stories surrounding these sisters. The way they navigated through the intricacies of their lives and the events that surrounded them was not only informative but also emotionally engaging. https://www.fixerhub.com/new-york/brooklyn/professional-service/kraft-paper-studio

This woman was completely neurotic. She was not narcissistic. Yes, maybe Mark should have been more curt about what he wanted, but he shouldn’t be blamed for how insane this woman was.. and Meredith knew he was married. She could have walked away, easily. She knew what Jenair was capable of but she didn’t care, she pursued Mark just as much as he pursued her. I think Meredith fed off the drama. All 3 were culpable in the endgame.

This reporter is weird. It doesn't matter if someone talks willingly. The cops are required to read their rights if they've been arrested. That's what makes it so simple. Read people's rights upon arrest, period.

What a crazy lady ,so much effort to stalk with tracking and listening devices. She wanted to know control and know everything. They where getting a divorce why couldn't she leave him alone. If Mark stalked and murdered his ex wife's lover the conversation would be so different.
