Welcome to a new side series called, 'Asking For It'. Here I will be telling stories of violence against women outside of the category of domestic abuse.

Today's episode is about Katie Piper who was viciously attacked by a man she was dating for only two weeks... but more horror was around the corner.

In December 2020, singer FKA Twigs filed a lawsuit against her ex-partner actor Shia LaBeouf accusing him of sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional stress during their relationship. He responded by saying he had been abusive to himself and those around him for years, and that he was ashamed and sorry to those he had hurt. He later denied all allegations. The court date has been set for October 2024.

We are finally back after an extended break! I missed you! On this week's episode, I discuss Victoria Ciller's story. Victoria met a man who was charming, loving and everything she ever wanted. But soon the lies started and a lot of things just weren't adding up. Then, Victoria had a horrific parachuting accident... or was it an accident?
