I suggest that all the sexist supporters of BB should watch the Meredith Baxter movie on You Tube, she portrays BB in it and boy, it shows you the ungrateful and crazy bitch that BB really was, not this Stepford wife portrayal that Amanda Peet is playing in the NF production, Amanda is acting like BB was this happy, girlie, amazing mother and wife type woman who was hard done by in life, and showing her childhood as if quite old fashioned and cold patents are the reason that BB selfishly walked into her exes home in the dead of the night, and shot dead her ex hubby and his new wife, when she was in her 30s, because BB was insanely jealous that she was only -sarcasm- getting $16k a month in alimony 31 years ago! Christ I would struggle to spend all of that today and I’m a big spender!
Also I’m assuming none of you know about the phone calls that BB would leave on the answering machine of Dan & Linda (years after BB and DB split) where she would call Linda a whore, a slut, a cunt, white trash, stupid etc etc and when her little boy once picked up the phone (real recordings on YT) and cried to his mother that he just wanted her to stop all the awful name calling etc, then BB just said “well if your dad wasn’t fucking his 12 year old secretary then we wouldn’t be where we are today”, or something very very similar, and then the wee boy started crying and BB told him to tell his Dad that he was a slimeball!
Christ yes Dan was a cunt for falling out of love with BB and falling for Linda whilst he was still with BB, but guess what, shit happens and if I was to get $16k per month to live off from my ex then I think I would obviously be cut up for a few months but then I’d happily live my life and have an amazing time doing it all, but BB was obsessed with Dan and she knew that he was making at least $140k per month and she felt like as she supported him when he was at Harvard back when they were skint, then he should’ve owed her his life or some shit like that, and the YT comments section basically all say the same “she supported him through college”, type stuff, but we all know the mentality of YT commenters, thick as fuck
..it’s called being married, you don’t ‘owe’ someone your whole life until you die because they did what they were meant to as, your wife and fucking support you whilst your getting yourself an education to make good money for your future, all BB did was moan and complain about Dan and in the movie Dan’s brother referenced that BB had been saying to Dan “well why don’t we just get divorced”, since their honeymoon
so one day Dan obviously said “yes let’s get a fucking divorce”, and then look how she started a vendetta against him, Linda and even her own kids at times.
All the reasons above are why I won’t watch this shit on NF because it’s been made to make the viewers feel all “poor Betty” type of things, and BB also killed Dan a good few years after they initially separated and BB herself had boyfriends so what the fuck was her issue with D & L?! She dumped the kids on his door and this backfired tremendously didn’t it?!
I also couldn’t believe that during the court trial BB was only 42 years old!!
She looked older than my mother now and my mum is 57 years old!
I hate to say this but BB did let herself go as she aged and when one partner gets too comfy in that they stop making effort with their looks anymore, then it’s no wonder people, esp men, start to stray, put that with BBs crazy making then you’ve got yourself one wife that you want shot of - no pun intended- ASAP.
Also BBs hatred of Dan doesn’t seem to have disappeared in 31 years this November -when she killed him- and she can’t even pretend to show remorse to the prison to get the fuck out of there! It’s Betty Broderick that was crazy and unstable, and this has now been proven, even her own kids aren’t as important to her as her hatred for a dead man who she once loved.
She deserves no sympathy and there are some very intelligent users of MN that are on this thread, and their ‘well done’ type comments are quite worrying, and I have suspected for a while they MN is a man hating site, and because a woman shot a man then she simply must have been ‘pushed into it’ and the bastard deserved it, because quite simply he is a man that, oh gasp
left his wife for a younger, happier, woman, because that’snever been done before has it ladies?!
Also what about poor Linda, yes she fell for a married man, an unhappily married man I may add, but she was just young with her whole life ahead of her, and because she was younger and prettier than BB and also was Dan’s new wife, then BBs mind must’ve nearly combusted at the thought of it all, which led her to do shoot 2 ppl dead, and isn’t sorry or remorseful 31 years later! She is a narcissist crackpot and always will be.
Dan was someone’s son, brother, father, friend and husband, and jealousy and gluttony killed him.
RIP Dan and Linda Broderick
