About Believe Her
Believe Her is true crime, upside down. In September 2017, young mom Nikki Addimando shot and killed her partner, Chris Grover. She was sentenced to nineteen years to life in prison for murder. Through rare access to police audio, a month-long trial, conversations with Nikki, and original reporting, journalist Justine van der Leun lays out the killing, the evidence, and the aftermath. As this six-part series unfolds, listeners will put together different pieces of a disturbing puzzle. One thing is clear: perception ≠ reality. Believe Her is a riveting chronicle that grapples with assumptions we make about domestic and sexual violence, the long reach of trauma, and the ways in which survival is criminalized, leaving us shocked at how far people will go to avoid seeing what's right in front of them. From Lemonada Media and Spiegel & Grau.

[…] I am open to the possibility that she doesn't understand the world around her. I think she still committed fraud. I think she still lied. I think she knew she was lying. But there is sort of an interesting question that this movie raised for me about, I don't know, is Elizabeth Holmes... Absolutely diabolical, which I think is Eliza's opinion. is there something else going on? You know, one of the things that we'll talk about today is, or is she somebody who is just incredibly easily manipulated by men? And I don't know if that's the message she was trying to send in this movie. That's certainly the message she tried to send at her trial about her first relationship with her, you know, co-defendant, Sonny Balwani. […]
