<v Speaker 1>this community. I'm Andrea Gunning and this is Betrayal onus

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>episode one Girl Tribe. Way back in the beginning of

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the podcast, you might remember all the people in Ackworth,

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>Georgia who supported Jennifer when they found out that Spencer

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 1>had been arrested. They were neighbors and close friends, people

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>that jen had met through the wine bar in the

0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:33.679
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood I kept her afloat during her worst days, and

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.959
<v Speaker 1>as the podcast was wrapping up, Jennifer invited five of

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>these women to her home where they relived some of

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the moments behind the scenes.

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Thank you guys so much for being here tonight.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Because you know, this journey started with you guys too.

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 3>You guys picked me up and just carried me over

0:01:55.640 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 3>the finish line of every single I just kind of

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 3>want to go around and say some things that really

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 3>stick out in my brain about each of you. Jill, Yes,

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk about your reaction when I called

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 3>you to tell you.

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.799
<v Speaker 1>Jill was one of the first people Jennifer called when

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Spencer was arrested, but Jill was out of town with

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.119
<v Speaker 1>her husband, Duncan, taking care of their granddaughters in North Carolina,

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>hours away.

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 4>You were like, Duncan, go ahead and get her. So

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 4>the first thing I said, because I knew I couldn't

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 4>leave because I had our granddaughters and Duncan doesn't know

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 4>how to deal with little girls, And I said, go

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 4>get her, and he just looked at me with his hand.

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I'll never forget his hands open. He goes, Okay, what

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 4>do I do with her? Because he knows you, and

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 4>what the fuck am I supposed to do with Jennifer

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 4>by myself? And I'm like, I don't care. Just take

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 4>her to the house because I was so afraid that

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.360
<v Speaker 4>the news media or somebody would find out your address.

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 4>Then luckily, Danielle showed up and everybody showed up, and

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, I was like, Okay, we're good, We're good, Danielle.

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for answering the phone first of all, which

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 2>was like the most unusual thing.

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Danielle owned her own day spy and app worth and

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>would often be serving clients for long blocks of time,

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>but this time she picked up.

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.840
<v Speaker 5>I was in the middle of doing a facial and

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 5>I stepped out of my treatment room and thought, something's

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 5>not right. And I looked down and my phone was

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 5>ringing hmm, And I said, are you okay?

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 6>And I said I need you to come here. And

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.839
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if you flew, but you were there

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 6>in two seconds. I didn't know what to do, and

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 6>I'm sure you didn't neither.

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 5>It was easy for me because we're friends and I

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 5>wanted to be there for you.

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't ever have to ask for anything. You know,

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 2>we were sitting on the porch Kim one day, and

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 2>it must have been just a day after I found

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 2>out how many women there were. Yeah, and I just

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 2>looked over at you and said, I think I need

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 2>to go to the doctor.

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>I think we both kind of realized at the same

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.239
<v Speaker 1>time that you might have gotten something from him.

0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 3>You said, I'll make the appointment, and you picked me up,

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 3>took me.

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:52.080
<v Speaker 6>It's just those things that like you don't have the

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 6>strength to do because you can barely get through the day.

0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Deborah.

0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:03.479
<v Speaker 1>Deborah experienced her own heartbreak during Jennifer's journey. It was

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.240
<v Speaker 1>different than Gen's, but very difficult. They leaned on each other.

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>You saw the day today progress I did. Look how

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 2>far we've come from sitting on that porch just being

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 2>as positive as we could. Today is a good day

0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 2>to have a good day. We said that every day day.

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>For years.

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>And now look we live across the street from each other.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 4>Just think about the past four years and everything that's happened.

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all of us have gone through something.

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.280
<v Speaker 4>We've all had family stuff or whatever.

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 3>What has happened.

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 5>But no one's world has been turning upside down the way.

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>No no, no, no, no, no, no, not even you.

0:05:55.560 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 5>Are standing on your own two feet. You know this awesome,

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 5>this great outlook on life.

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm just so proud of you.

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 2>This is why I left La and moved here. This

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 2>was going to happen, and it just couldn't have happened

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 2>in a better place.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Jen realized she lost a husband that gained a tribe,

0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>So I thank you for that, but sorry.

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 2>We're growing old together.

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 4>Oh I cannot wait.
