Justine Van der Leun | BELIEVE HER Podcast

Content Warning: Today’s episode deals with sexual abuse and domestic violence. Please take care while listening. If you need help, please reach out to the National Domestic Abuse Hotline: 1-888- 799-SAFE.<br /><br />Today I spoke with Justine Ven der Leun, host of BELIEVE HER, a new podcast by Lemonada Media.<br /><br />BELIEVE HER is not a whodunnit. This is a complicated look at what happens when a woman who has endured abuse at the hands of her partner, shoots and kills him. Nikki Addimando went from being viewed as a victim to a cold blooded killer when she shot and killed her partner, Chris Grover, in 2017.<br /><br />Today’s conversation explores the many complex issues at the heart of this “upside down” true crime story; believing victims, women in prison, domestic abuse, trauma, and whether it’s bad luck or a flawed system that lands people in prison. <br /><br /><br />Listen to BELIEVE HER, by Lemonada Media<br /><a href="https://link.chtbl.com/BelieveHer" rel="noopener">https://link.chtbl.com/BelieveHer</a><br /><br />You can follow Justine on social media IG@jvanderleun<br /><br />Please rate and review DIE-ALOGUE on apple podcasts if you haven't already?!
