Description

In this powerful episode of No Tears For Black Girls, we explore the chilling case of Rebecca "Becky" Bliefnick, whose appearance on Family Feud with her husband became tragically prophetic. When Becky jokingly told Steve Harvey that her biggest mistake was "saying yes to my husband," she had no idea those words would foreshadow her own murder just months later.

On February 23rd, 2023, Becky was found shot to death in her Quincy, Illinois home by her estranged husband Timothy Bliefnick - the same man who smiled on national television while claiming "I love my wife." We dive deep into the investigation that revealed Tim's calculated plan to stalk and murder the mother of his three children, and examine how the system failed to protect Becky despite her desperate pleas for help.

But this episode goes beyond one tragic case. We also tell the story of Korryn Gaines, a 23-year-old Black mother from Baltimore who was killed by police in 2016 while trying to protect herself from an abusive partner. Despite facing similar domestic violence and systemic failures, Korryn's story received a fraction of the media attention that Becky's case generated.

Through these parallel stories, we examine the stark disparity in how our society responds to violence against women - and ask the difficult question: whose tears matter most? Why do some victims become household names while others are forgotten?

Join host Samantha Paul as we demand justice for ALL women and challenge the media's selective empathy. Because every woman deserves to have her story told with dignity, compassion, and the demand for justice - regardless of the color of her skin.
