Because loving reality isn't a crime!
Melissa is bringing the laughs as she shares the trials and tribulations of our comedy king, Tracy Morgan. From his trauma filled childhood to his turbulent adulthood, Tracy used it all to make him one of the most recognizable names in comedy. Tracy wasn’t just an actor on a show ABOUT a reality show, he was also host on the brief and oft-forgot reality show “Scare Tactics.”
But when he barely survives a life changing accident, Tracy shows us a side of him we’ve never seen before. While grieving a devastating loss and surviving two weeks in a coma, Tracy had to fight not only for his recovery but for restitution from the corporate giant who played a role in the accident.
Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:
Melissa: The Manhattan Alien Abduction, Netflix
Rebekah: English Teacher, Hulu
Rebekah gave three clues for the next episode:

Are you ready for a whale of a tale? You might know him as Dorit’s husband, but Rebekah would like to introduce you to Paul Kemsley, International Man of tax evasion and gambling debts. Oh, he also loves soccer! PK went from a teenaged suit salesman to one of London’s top tycoons, now he is a house husband whom Rebekah and Melissa can’t agree on. Listen with an open mind, a closed wallet, and ask yourself; Is PK Winsome?
For the next episode, Melissa shared 3 clues:

On today’s episode, Rebekah is taking you on a real journey to a reality show you’ve probably never seen and not because it was an early aughts one-hit-wonder, but because it was never actually a show. Wait, what?
Join her as she introduces you to a young man with big dreams, four names, and zero idea of how to produce a reality show — but he doesn’t let that stop him, because Nik Russian is nothing if not a dreamer. Despite his lack of credentials, 30 willing participants give up their jobs, homes and a year of their lives for a shot at winning big and becoming famous - what could go wrong? Let Rebekah count the ways.
Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:
Melissa: Anatomy of Lies, Peacock
Rebekah: Single Lady, Ali Wong, Netflix
Melissa gave three clues for the next episode:

Can #MomTok survive a Criminality episode? We’re about to find out because Melissa is diving headfirst into the whirlwind world of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” with a focus on none other than the notorious Taylor Frankie Paul.
Taylor isn't your typical Mormon mom—in fact, her connection to the faith seems more rumor than reality. But what she *is*, is the OG Mom at the center of #MomTok’s rise, fall, and scandalous swinging saga. For years, #MomTok thrived in one very specific corner of the internet, until a shocking soft-swinging scandal blew up in Utah, grabbing global attention.
And just when you thought it couldn't get wilder, Taylor’s personal life took center stage—new man, new drama. From cheating accusations and surprise pregnancies to arrests and criminal charges, it’s a non-stop reality TV-level ride.
But wait—there’s another Mormon mom who went viral in the #MomTok universe for an unforgettable moment that you won’t believe. Melissa breaks it all down, so whether you’re deeply entrenched in #MomTok drama or just catching up, this story has a little something for everyone.
Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:
Melissa: Jailbreak, Netflix
Rebekah: Nobody Wants This, Netflix
Rebekah gave three clues for the next episode:

Though she is best known for her brief and bumpy marriage to Charlie Sheen, there’s a lot more to Brooke Mueller and Rebekah wants to share stories and scenes that paint a fuller picture.
Brooke was a Palm Beach socialite turned Hollywood party girl, despite her decidedly lackluster acting resume. She didn’t land great roles but she had money, famous friends, and an insatiable appetite for fun, and sometimes that’s enough to keep you in Hollywood.
On the heels of her tumultuous marriage to Charlie, Brooke made her reality TV debut with her “best friend, Paris, on the Oxygen show, “The World According to Paris.” ( with friends like Paris, who needs enemies?) Unfortunately, it was Brooke’s off camera activity that seemed to perpetuate her fame and dominate the headlines. Run ins with the law and seveIt was in these high end treatment centers that Brooke made connections that would ultimately place her near the investigation around Matthew Perry’s tragic fatal overdose.
Whether you question her choices or cheer for her recovery, Brooke Mueller’s Hollywood story isn’t over,we just hope it doesn’t end up a tragedy.

Melissa delights us with a peek into one of TV’s brightest stars — Sherri Shepherd. Her charisma and drive took her from hit show to hit show and soon Sherri was on top of the world — just don’t ask her if it’s round or flat. But as these stories often reveal, the VIEW from the top isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
Sherri was one of the funniest women on tv, but things at home were anything but happy. Torn between work and caring for her son with special needs, Sherry struggled to make things with work with her first husband leading to their eventual divorce. She remarried and what follows with husband number two landed Sherri and her husband in court over a battle about surrogacy and parental responsibility.
In an episode chock full of great tv clips and one decent Ba-ba Wa-Wa impression, this episode will also make you ponder what you might do in a similar situation.
Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:
Melissa: Chimp Crazy, MAX
Rebekah: Pop Star Academy, Netflix
Rebekah gave three clues for the next episode:
TWINS
PARIS HILTON

ALL ABOARD: Since the most recent season of RHONJ derailed, Rebekah decided to course correct and include more than you probably care to know about the newest Jersey house husband, Luis Ruelas. He is more than Tre’s new love, more than a pizza oven business thief, he’s just a man in a “forgivity” shirt, asking people on social media, to trust him.
But should we? If you ask his most recent ex, Vanessa Reiser, that would be a hard no. She outed him as an alleged narcissistic sociopath, but Luis has 99 problems and that’s just one.
From “inventing businesses” to hiring investigators, Luis is always booked and busy doing the devil’s work. Rebekah will walk you through today’s episode, but beware, it’s a CRIMINALITY episode today, but could be a much darker story in the future.
Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:
Melissa: American Murder: Lacy Peterson, Netflix
Rebekah: RHOC, Bravo
Melissa gave three clues for the next episode:

Melissa and Rebekah are back from a summer hiatus and waste no time getting back into the wild world of reality TV crimes. Melissa leads this week’s episode with a trip to one of her favorite places — TLC! She introduces us to TLC’s latest larger than life family, the Plaths’; stars of “Welcome to Plathville.”
Join us as Melissa takes us with her to explore life on the Plath farm in Cairo, Georgia. No shoes? No problem. Nobody seems to wear any on this show and it bothers Melissa almost as much as the actual crimes committed by family matriarch, Kim Plath. Can we really blame Kim for her problematic parenting when all she really wants to do is listen to Meatloaf in her car in peace?! If her blood alcohol level is above the legal limit, then the answer is yes. This family has the veneer of the Von Trapps, but the behavior of the BRowns — who could ask for anything more?
Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:
Melissa: Claim to Fame, Hulu/ABC
Rebekah: Love is Blind UK, Netflix

This episode is a replay from December 2022. Since airing, the Chrisley’s have managed to stay in the news, most recently, as Julie Chrisley’s sentence is overturned citing lack of sufficient evidence of her direct involvement. Listen to this episode and let us know if YOU think she was involved or not!
Happy Holidays from CRIMINALITY! We didn’t mean to, but I guess we are giving you a very CHRISLEY CHRISTMAS. Rebekah and Melissa reveal just how little she knew about the very boisterous, very blonde family that America got to know on the USA show, Chrisley Knows Best. We learn Todd is a fraud in every sense of the word and Julie is CRAFTY in more ways than one. Come for Todd’s decade long Ponzi scheme, and stay for his utterly petty and disgusting parenting style!

Melissa and Rebekah are on a brief summer hiatus! Due to the current obsession Tori Spelling’s podcast, please enjoy this REPLAY of their 25th episode about the legend herself. Criminality will be back with an all new episode on Aug 9, 2024!
Welcome to the 25th episode of CRIMINALITY - because loving reality (TV) isn’t a crime! Melissa shares the “stori” of a woman who has TV in her blood. Tori Spelling grew up in a life of luxury due to the successful shows her Dad, Aaron Spelling, created. But she went on to have a “Rags to Riches in Reverse” kind of story. From a measly inheritance to back taxes, and a couple pricey lawsuits, Tori Spelling was “inn”over head financially. Today’s episode has a lot of nostalgic tv memories and a video clip you will never unsee!
