What are the real warning signs of an abusive relationship—and why is leaving often the most dangerous time for a survivor?

In this powerful episode of Liars & Lovers, host Lisa Ribacoff sits down with Claudia King, a Law & Crime TV analyst, domestic violence expert, and survivor, for an honest conversation about the realities of domestic violence, coercive control, gaslighting, stalking, and relationship abuse.

Too often, people ask, "Why didn't they just leave?" Claudia explains why the answer is far more complex than most people realize. Drawing from both her professional expertise covering high-profile criminal cases and her personal experience as a survivor, she shares how manipulation, isolation, and psychological abuse can escalate into violence—and why recognizing the warning signs early can save lives.

Lisa and Claudia also discuss victim-blaming, the legal system's response to intimate partner violence, stalking behaviors, coercive control, and what friends and family can do to support someone in an abusive relationship. Together, they explore how love, deception, and control can intersect in ways that are often hidden from the outside world.

If you're interested in true crime, domestic violence awareness, relationship red flags, criminal psychology, victim advocacy, or understanding the warning signs of abuse, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

New York City never sleeps—and neither do its secrets.

On this episode of Liars & Lovers, Lisa Ribacoff sits down with Tom Smith, retired NYPD detective and host of The Gold Shields Show, for a fascinating conversation about crime, investigations, deception, human behavior, and the reality of policing in New York City.

Tom spent years working inside the New York Police Department, seeing firsthand what happens when the story you're told isn't the story that actually happened. From investigations and interrogations to relationships, manipulation, and the psychology behind criminal behavior, Tom shares the perspective that only someone who has lived it from the other side of the badge can provide.

Together, Lisa and Tom explore what happens when nothing is what it seems—and why investigators have to look beyond the obvious to uncover the truth.

We talk about the realities of being an NYPD detective, the challenges of investigating people who don't want to tell the truth, memorable experiences from Tom's career, and what inspired him to create The Gold Shields Show.

Because in true crime, the first story isn't always the real story.

New York, New York… where everyone has a story, every secret has a price, and nothing is ever what it seems.
