Show Notes
With the release of the new documentary series Handsome Devil: Charming Killer about Wade Wilson, Chalene shares the first episode of a Between Friends series exploring the psychology behind hybristophilia, the phenomenon where people become romantically drawn to violent criminals. In this first episode, she shares a personal story from early in her career that first exposed her to this behavior, then connects it to modern cases that reveal how attraction, manipulation, and control play out behind prison walls. This is not true crime for shock value. It is a psychological deep dive into why these relationships form, how dangerous men exploit empathy and attention, and why understanding these dynamics matters for personal safety.
🚨 This episode includes discussion of violent criminal acts and is not suitable for all listeners. Listener discretion is strongly advised.🚨
