Amanda seemingly had everything she wanted: the “perfect” family she and her husband, Cory fought extensively for in court, the love and support of friends, family, internet strangers, cancer foundations, and even celebrities as she battled years of aggressive cancer. But in 2015, an anonymous tip submitted to investigative journalist Nancy Moscatiello was about to expose the one thing Amanda didn’t have: Cancer.  

Join us this week as Sarah takes us through the case behind Scamanda, and the crazy twists and turns in this story. The sisters share some hot takes on the medical industrial complex (call us, girl) and our new best friend, investigative journalist Nancy.
