The Truth About Advocacy

What are the real warning signs of an abusive relationship—and why is leaving often the most dangerous time for a survivor?

In this powerful episode of Liars & Lovers, host Lisa Ribacoff sits down with Claudia King, a Law & Crime TV analyst, domestic violence expert, and survivor, for an honest conversation about the realities of domestic violence, coercive control, gaslighting, stalking, and relationship abuse.

Too often, people ask, "Why didn't they just leave?" Claudia explains why the answer is far more complex than most people realize. Drawing from both her professional expertise covering high-profile criminal cases and her personal experience as a survivor, she shares how manipulation, isolation, and psychological abuse can escalate into violence—and why recognizing the warning signs early can save lives.

Lisa and Claudia also discuss victim-blaming, the legal system's response to intimate partner violence, stalking behaviors, coercive control, and what friends and family can do to support someone in an abusive relationship. Together, they explore how love, deception, and control can intersect in ways that are often hidden from the outside world.

If you're interested in true crime, domestic violence awareness, relationship red flags, criminal psychology, victim advocacy, or understanding the warning signs of abuse, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
