this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are joined by Alicia Crowder, aka Diana from Tell Me Lies, and it’s peak fangirl chaos and behind-the-scenes tea. they get into the cult-like TikTok community around the show, insane fan theories that almost outdo the writers, and what it’s like to watch people dissect your character in real time. from auditioning over Zoom and finding out she booked the role while sitting on her couch, to the shock of reading THAT plot twist, Alicia shares what it’s really like being at the center of one of the internet’s most unhinged relationship dramas.

the girls dive deep into Diana’s psychology: ambition, codependency, perfectionism, and that terrifying type-A composure that somehow still cracks. they talk toxic men, manipulation disguised as love, and why Stephen isn’t strategic, he just wants control. Alicia opens up about Juilliard, 15-hour shoot days, filming scenes out of order, memorizing five-page dialogues, and the pressure of delivering emotional chaos on cue at 4 a.m. plus, the subtle power move of asking writers to let Diana score higher on the LSAT (as she should).

and because this is Delusional Diaries, it wouldn’t be complete without a little fun: Diana answering Hinge prompts, night owl vs. morning person debates, dog-mom routines, superstitions during auditions, and the very real spiral of waiting to hear if you’re “the final two.” it’s a mix of ambition, vulnerability, internet obsession, and the reminder that even the most put-together girls are still human. chaotic, thoughtful, and slightly delusional, obviously. just, with a special guest this time!
