    Everyone should listen.
    This show is raw and real. There are many people in the world like this that have ruined innocent people.

    Listen if you want to feel better about any decision you’ve ever made
    I started this podcast in the second season and made the mistake of starting the first season. I’ll save you some time- several women let a man cheat on them incessantly, physically abuse them, lie over and over again with undeniable proof, and he’s tall so they all make excuses for him and take him back over and over. It’s painful. If you ever find yourself in constant contact with ex wives and affair partners, it’s time to get the hint that this guy is a piece of trash. Start at the second season, trust me.

    Where are you?
    This was one of my favorite pods. But it’s been so long since anything new has been downloaded for non patreon subscribers. I have thought about unsubscribing, but keep hoping for new episodes.

    Continued greatness
    Listening to your recap, was really happy to hear your statement about not losing yourself in success and having a big head; your fans are witnessing the rapid decline of Tiffany Reese on SWW and are concerned it will happen to you. So far y’all have evolved and still kept what makes you interesting, so well done!

    Fantastic Pod
    Just listened to all of the episodes on Todd Dean. Way to go; very thorough and thoughtfully done. And I love that you two and helping other women recognize a scammer and/or a narcissist. Very important in today’s world. Well done!!!

    New listener!
    Started with season 5 Anna and binged the season…great pod cast. Just some advice, as the episodes went on on season 5 I could tell Anna and the host were drinking as by episode 7, Anna was clearly slurring her words and sounded “tipsy”. Speech got slower and slurred. Got a little frustrating as I started to feel like I was listening to drunk ladies. First episodes were clear speech. It’s hard to listen sometimes. If there is drinking just ease up. It sort of loses some credibility when you feel like your listening to drunk people talk.

    Good
    I listened to the most recent season then decided to go back to season 1. Hearing all the back and forth it sounds like both of them (host and ex husband) were addicted to drama. There is something about it that even though I’m annoyed I can’t stop listening so they are doing something right.

    The sad truth
    These stories hit so hard. I’m listening to the Double Trouble season, and I’m so sorry that this young woman didn’t get support from her husband during the birth of their daughter. I experienced the same situation, and the sad truth of it is that he didn’t love her anymore. It’s a heart breaking situation, but it is reality. And when someone doesn’t love you any more, they aren’t going to treat you as if they do love you.

    Out of order
    Why are these episodes out of order??? Stories are repeated too many times. Too much laughing and immaturity.
  • LMT863
    Season 1
    Almost done with season 1. The editing is horrendous and the hosts are borderline insufferable, but I CANNOT stop listening. Five stars.
  • Ivakota
    Cheesy background music
    The show is reminiscent of Something Was Wrong but a bit slower. It’s good but the background music forces me to turn it off sometimes. ENOUGH WITH THE MUSIC PLEASE. love you gals.

    Narcissism
    I love the show so much. I cried the whole time, because I thought I was the only one! I am so appreciative for the show. We have strengthen numbers and we will conquer!
  • lilmiss925431
    Really great content, awful ad breaks
    The stories are so addicting!! I listened to 13 episodes in one sitting! All the stories shared by all the women are heartbreaking and captivating. But the ads… awfully placed- often mid-sentence of someone. And the volume of the sponsors is much louder than the podcast itself.

    We are not all the same!
    I really like this podcast and I'm so sorry that you both had to suffer because of a person with borderline personality disorder. Even so, I would like you to be more responsible when talking about this disorder because unfortunately I feel that you could cast a stigma and do not really educate about it because you are too influenced by the experiences lived with someone with the disorder who was not accountable in treating it. As a person who lives with the diagnosis and I have sought psychiatric help and a therapist it’s does not seem fair to me, that a disorder that requires not only therapy but also the responsibility of the person suffering from it to seek help is stigmatized in this way. Not all people with borderline are the same. So sorry for the grammar mistakes, but English is not my first language.

    “I’d like to slap sense into Ted”
    How about slapping sense into Anna? She clearly has massive issues making proper decisions in life. Ted is not your problem. You are your problem. Humorously slamming Ted over and over as if you’re so clever and an authority on his behavior is missing the point. YOU have issues that YOU need to work out. Blaming men for your decisions is the opposite of empowering women.
  • kristina198484
    Interesting stories and really enjoy
    I really enjoy this podcast. But one piece of advice is some of these women aren’t great interviewees I.e. Zorrah. Way to long winded about irrelevant stuff and super boring. you just want to scream get on with it! This pod would be much better is hosts narrated stories and just added small snippets of interviews and/or edit it better.

    I love this podcast!
    Ive been listening since the beginning and Im such a fangirl! Keep up the incredible work! Thank you for helping educate and give a safe space to survivors! -Behk

    Great show! All young girls should listen.
    You guys are great, but Bruce refers to MAGA as hateful and goes on and on about Trump’s lawsuits. He was wrong about everything he said. And if you’re a nice person, you don’t insult half the country flat out without knowing them. Nor do you sit in silence and let someone else do that. No matter where you are politically, why sit there and let him insult people he doesn’t know? It’s like you learned nothing from Brandon/Ben. Also the girl in 90 Day fiancé, holy screaming Batman! It was hard to listen because she scream talked through a four part podcast. 📢 Yikes! But you guys handled it well.

    Season 5 Wow Amazing (Kelly story 1-4)
    Kelly’s story and the accounting of Sara’s experience was a compelling tale of resilience.Amber & Athena you have successfully created a platform of healing. Hope you do get a movie deal. Women across America need to be forewarned about men like Ben and be provided tools on how to see the warning signals and have the courage to move on & not move in. I can envision a Nationwide non-profit organization for the empowerment of women coming from this situation.
  • Alrab2828
    Painful
    Liked the first season but couldn’t get through the hosts uncontrollable laughter (or as one of the hosts put it, she “got the giggles”) in the first episode of season 5. They were so clueless they didn’t realize the victim was not laughing with them, but trying to bear her soul while the hosts sounded like a bunch of junior high girls talking about things I can’t even repeat otherwise this review won’t get posted. It’s not only annoying, but it overshadows the story. I’ve never written a negative podcast review, but I feel like I’d rather get a root canal, then listen to another episode.
  • LisaGypsy418
    Love this podcast! It’s like a Dirty John Series!
    Athena & Amber, you need to have this produced as a mini-series! Just when you think it couldn’t get worse and “Ben” could not come up with a bigger lie, he tops himself, once again!! I once dated someone who turned out to be a huge cheater, full of lies and gaslighting. It was so hard because he always managed to get me back. And btw, I’ve ALWAYS said stay away from a man with two first names…always bad news! Great job, ladies. God bless and stay strong.
  • Emphotogalvaca
    Thank you, thank you.
    "Ex-Wives Undercover" deserves a resounding 5 stars! Amber and Athena navigate the challenging tale of a psychopathic narcissist ex with kindness and humor, making the podcast both gripping and enjoyable. Their camaraderie, not only with each other but also with other exes of Ben, is truly endearing. The podcast's portrayal of their determination to seek the justice Ben deserved is nothing short of exhilarating, respectful, and impressive. With grace and charisma, they unfold the story that kept me hooked— I didn't want to stop listening. Their narrative resonated deeply, offering valuable insights that could help many women recognize red flags and manipulation in their own relationships. A heartfelt thank you for sharing your story and shedding light on such an important topic.
  • K2kristy
    Excellent!!!
    This podcast is one of the best I’ve listened to. I just finished all 5 seasons and can’t wait for more! The format is great, and the voices are incredibly easy listening. I’ve been through similar relationships & situations as all of these women, and it is so validating to hear the inspirational stories of how they got out and banded together to bring light to these type of people so they aren’t able to hurt as many others, and work with law enforcement to bring justice. Athena & Amber, thank you for your courage to share, and also to encourage others to do the same!!

    Warning: Todd’s Voice!
    Dear my Pi-Tiger sisters…. You didn’t warn us on how gross Todd is when he speaks 🤢
  • Groovystig
    Totally held my attention...
    I know how hard it is to leave a relationship with a narcissist. Been there, done that, and it took me many times to actually leave. I feel for the guests and what a rollercoaster it can be, especially with a manipulative person. And the stories are wild, heartbreaking and sadly too common. But I do struggle with the guests who blame the woman that cheated with their partner. Which Athena and Amber clearly didn't do. They knew these other women were being manipulated, too. I appreciate that. There is only one person to blame and that is the partner who cheated. Don't get me wrong, if the woman knows he's married, then that is definitely crappy and totally different. But if he's duping you, he's duping them. I appreciate the women who recognize that. It's so frustrating to see women turn on each other and in essence still protect the actual cheater.
  • sbdrklr
    I love this podcast
    I have been glued to this podcast . I love thèse women
  • Momo or mo
    These ladies gave me my voice!
    I cannot imagine not meeting Amber and Athena almost one year ago!!! It seems as if it’s been 10 years we have been through so much. Not only have they treated me with love and kindness but a true sisterhood bond that cannot be broken. Please listen and share their stories. Love you girls.
  • krys71887
    Love this podcast!
    As someone who has been with a narcissist and luckily got out early I really enjoy this podcast. These women have been through so much and it is great to see women supporting women.
  • ralphiesx
    Excellent podcast
    I love this podcast! I really think they have helped so many women who are in abusive relationships see the light as well as expose the abusers. Keep doing what you’re doing!

    I’ve been through so much and to hear these stories makes me so understood! I’m currently pregnant and doing it alone but my peace is so much more worth it vs the roller coaster and abuse! Thank you! Thank you thank you
  • Linny4u22
    A Good Binge
    Have followed and listen to the show from the beginning. I have enjoyed and learned a lot about various sociopath traits, and how they manifest in relationships. And the crazy path the girls have been on with their sociopath and the law and getting him finally put behind bars. Definitely worthy of a binge listen!

    I feel so blessed to have spoken to and gotten to know Athena & Amber. Two empathetic, loving women who experienced a true narcissist. I wouldn’t have believed it could ever happen to me. Learning that many high level, intelligent and kind women have also fallen victim to these sick individuals helped me (and others) to know we weren’t alone. Until you’ve been there, met one, been manipulated by one; you have NO IDEA how catastrophic it is. I’m so thankful to A&A for their kindness, thoroughness and for being vulnerable in sharing their personal story. Bravo for coming together to raise awareness to narcissistic behavior and being role models for women to listen to one another. With their help, Jill, myself, Karen, Roxi, Missy and hundreds of other women have come together to bring a face to this type of bait & switch abuse on women. Keep doing the good work ladies. We are all so grateful for telling our stories and putting his face out there. Hundreds of women have been saved heartache by the toad. Thank you, thank you

  • Sandi_K
    Amazing women
    Love this podcast, Athena and Amber are strong resilient women who continue to fight for themselves, the children and other women who have been wronged by other narcissistic men. Thank you for telling your story and giving others a platform to share as well. Y’all are doing a great job!

    THIS PODCAST IS THE BEES KNEES BABY
    thank god for this pod for all the driving I do. Super entertaining, only podcast I can really focus on tbh!
  • Rachel Etes
    Amazing!
    I appreciate the amount of hard work Athena and Amber (as well as the other lovely ladies involved) have put into this podcast! I have sent this to a few friends of mine to help them see the toxic patterns in their relationships and IT WORKED! They were able to see through the love bombing to see the bad. The way these ladies talk is easy to understand and relate to. I love it so much! Thanks ladies
  • LowMichFrank
    I’m podcast picky and this is my favorite
    I’ll be honest, I’m not the kind of person that likes all podcast. Or, honestly, most podcasts. But this one is my faaaav. I found it when I was moving from SC to IL and binged the first season while I drove back and forth and genuinely never got bored. I laughed, I cried, I screamed at the top of my lungs for the A team—all of the things. Listening to Athena and Amber is like being involved in conversation with your closest friends. I feel right at home with EWU🫶 Aannnnd they’ve put so much work into redoing previous seasons. These women listen to their listeners and are incredible examples of resilience.
  • Lauren W Therapist
    A validating show
    From a licensed therapist: Thank you Amber and Athena for sharing your stories to help bring more awareness to the dangers of Cluster B personality disorders. The more awareness the more we can protect others and heal.

    You are the best! Love the way you tell a story.

    Couldn’t Love It More!
    The ex-wives are true WARRIORS! They share the truth that so many of us have gone through at various levels. They lift up victims and make us feel like the survivors we are. This can happen to anyone, relationship abuse doesn’t discriminate. Thank you for everything you do and thank you for making us feel heard!!!
  • Rdrtgrl
    Best podcast

  • mack0098
    One of the best!
    This podcast is very well done these ladies have shared there stories of how they not only got free from their narcissistic abuser but are now helping others as well. They are amazing women!!
  • Marobisno
    Love the variety of stories
    Great podcast that features a variety of women and their experiences. Although the cons all follow the same playbook, their tactics vary. Educational on the different things to watch out for and how common these situations are.
  • Fooemery
    Not Well Done
    Repetitious, stories told out of sequence, narrators who have such poor judgment that it makes you despair about your fellow women. Couldn’t finish one season.
