This week on RFT, Brenna speaks to Terra & Debra Newell, who you might know from the Netflix series “Dirty John.” The series is based off of the Newell’s life a few years back when Debra met a man, John Meehan, online. John ended up being the ultimate con artist and spent his time with the Newell’s lying, cheating, and deceiving them to the fullest extent.

Terra and Brenna explain signs of psychopathy, and what it was like for her watching her mother be controlled and manipulated by John. Debra and Terra divulge what it was like for them watching their trauma play out on TV, how similar the Netflix series is to what really happened, and how their relationship has evolved since John left their lives.
