Welcome to The Lovebombed—the true crime podcast where love stories turn criminal.

Hosted by Stella Pierson—a survivor of narcissistic abuse, solo parent, and certified life coach who had to piece together the evidence of her own emotional crime scene—this gripping series exposes the hidden crimes behind charm and control: lovebombing, gaslighting, stalking, financial sabotage, custody abuse, and post-separation wreckage.

These are the crimes that don’t always leave bruises—but they do leave lasting damage.

Each episode investigates the manipulative patterns of coercive control, shines a light on the systems that enable abusers, and shares the voices of survivors who were never supposed to make it out.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Was that abuse?” or “Why didn’t anyone believe me?”—this is your show.

Because some crimes don’t start with violence.

They start with love.

This wasn’t a breakup. It was a setup.

Because coercive control is a pattern. A strategy. A crime.

Even when the courts won’t call it one.

He didn’t raise a fist.

But he raised doubt.

In this debut episode, host Stella Pierson unpacks how narcissistic abuse starts—not with violence, but with adoration. What feels like a fairytale is actually a setup: a psychological crime scene carefully disguised as love.

Stella takes listeners through her own story of lovebombing, gaslighting, financial control, and post-separation abuse—illustrating how coercive control operates in plain sight and why the justice system often fails to see it as a crime.

If you’ve ever questioned your reality, felt invisible bruises, or been told “it’s not abuse if he didn’t hit you”—this episode is for you.

Because some crimes don’t start with violence.

They start with love.

What if the greatest con was love itself?

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the early stages of narcissistic abuse—the lovebomb, the pedestal, the promises. But this isn’t a story about romance. It’s about grooming. The Setup is where they disarm you with affection, lure you into dependency, then vanish when you need them most. We break down how love becomes the perfect alibi for psychological crimes, and how the discard phase isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning of post-separation abuse, smear campaigns, and silence by design.

If you’ve ever been told “It wasn’t that bad,” or questioned your own memories just to make peace, this episode is your proof: it wasn’t love. It was a setup.
