In the season two finale of Narcissists, Gaslighters, and Cheaters, Oh My!, hosts Behk and LAH go deeper than ever as Behk shares the story that started it all — her very first encounter with a narcissist. At just 15 years old, Behk found herself in a toxic relationship with a 21-year-old man she met online. What began as a seemingly innocent connection soon unraveled into a web of manipulation and harm, leaving scars that would impact her and others for decades.

Joined by her best friend as a special guest, Behk revisits the ripple effects of this early trauma, the permanent marks it left, and the shocking revelation she uncovered after reaching out to a recent ex of her abuser. Over the years, this man’s behavior has only escalated, combining substance abuse and worsening mental health issues to become a significant danger.

The conversation takes an even more personal turn as Behk’s best friend opens up about her own experience with a narcissistic relationship, one tied to Behk’s. Together, they discuss the red flags they wish they had recognized, the importance of breaking the silence, and the power of sharing your story to help others find healing.

This season finale is an emotional and empowering episode you won’t want to miss. Tune in for a raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful conversation about survival, resilience, and reclaiming your voice.

In this eye-opening episode of Narcissists, Gaslighters and Cheaters, Oh My!, hosts Behk and LAH sit down with Charlotte Rivers, a brave woman who shares her unsettling experience within the gaming community, which was marred by toxic masculinity. Charlotte takes us through her journey of finding a supportive, inclusive gaming community—only for it to be shattered by rampant sexism and harassment.

Charlotte opens up about her experience with a local gaming store owner who crossed boundaries with inappropriate comments and even coerced her into an uncomfortable back rub. When Charlotte stood up for herself, she was banned from both the store and the wider gaming community. Even worse, no one came to her defense, and she was left to face the fallout alone.

The conversation takes a darker turn when Charlotte explains how, after leaving a truthful review of the store, the owner and his wife launched an online smear campaign against her. They accused her of cheating on her deployed husband and even threatened her.

This episode is a sobering reminder of the importance of calling out toxic behavior, especially when it comes from men who have the power to protect or harm women in these spaces. We discuss how the gaming world—and society at large—needs men to step up and challenge harmful behavior when they see it, rather than stay silent.

Charlotte's strength and resilience in the face of this injustice are truly inspiring. Listen in to hear how she fought back and how we can all work together to create safer, more respectful environments for everyone.

Join us for this raw conversation, and don't forget to subscribe for more episodes of real talk on toxic behavior, safety, and standing up for yourself.
