The Lovebombed™ True Crime Edition

We’re laying down the foundation of The LovebombedTM—telling stories as evidence of a crime scene.

Lovebombing isn’t just manipulation.

It’s often the first crime at the scene—the gateway to deeper control and, sometimes, even darker crimes.

Behind many lovebombs are early fingerprints of future harm:

stalking, coercive control, financial abuse, post-separation harassment, and in the most extreme cases, violence.

These patterns don’t always escalate to physical crimes.

But when they do, the warning signs were there—hidden in plain sight.

Lovebombing can be the first clue that something more dangerous is unfolding.

In this space, we expose how emotional crimes are minimized, overlooked, and too often ignored—until it’s too late.

We name the tactics. We trace the escalation.

We reclaim the story survivors were forced to silence.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself... if you’ve ever felt an unease you couldn’t explain... this episode is your confirmation.

You weren’t imagining it. You were standing at the first crime scene.

EPISODE 3: When Love is the Alibi

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.

2 - The First Crime Was the Lovebomb

New mic. Same host. It wasn’t true love. It was TRUE CRIME.TM

The LovebombedTM Podcast • Hosted by Stella Pierson.

This isn’t a breakup podcast. It’s the unraveling of something much darker.

This podcast is for you if you’ve ever wondered:

Is this love or emotional abuse?
Why do I feel so off in this relationship?
What are the signs of narcissistic or covert abuse?
Am I being manipulated... or am I losing my mind?
What is this doing to my kids?
Should I be calling for help?

If you’ve asked the questions no one wants to hear out loud, The Lovebombed is here to answer them.

The Lovebombed traces the emotional aftermath of intense, toxic, and confusing relationships — starting with the moment it felt like love, and ending with the truth that it wasn’t. Each episode peels back another layer: from idealization and manipulation, to post-separation abuse and legal systems that miss the mark.

It begins with heartbreak.

But what it uncovers?

Might just be a crime scene.

Because eventually, you’ll see:

It wasn’t true love. It was TRUE CRIME.

Not all crimes are written in blood. Some are written in promises, in perfect timing, in overwhelming affection that feels like fate—until the mask slips. In this episode, we go back to the first lie of an abusive dynamic: the lovebomb.

Stella Pierson exposes how idealization isn’t love—it’s strategy. Learn why lovebombing works, what it steals from you, and how false intimacy is used to gain control.

This isn’t a breakup podcast. It’s a crime scene reconstruction. And every second of intensity was part of the setup.
