BOOM. When you start telling the truth about abuse, people get uncomfortable. This week, someone close to me said I “wasn’t over it.” That maybe this podcast—and my voice—were becoming my identity. But what they don’t understand is that truth-telling isn’t obsession—it’s liberation.

In this raw bonus episode, I break down the moment I realized the narcissist’s discard didn’t break me—it freed me. I share how he manipulated a court “expert” into believing I was still in love with him, and the brutal (yet ironic) truth about how I found out he left.

This one’s for every survivor who’s been called bitter, dramatic, or too much—for simply refusing to stay silent.

Mentioned in this episode:

•The scripted smear he used in court

•Why the discard didn’t crush me

•The legal warfare that came after

•The truth about that early trailer drop

•And what it really means to move on—with your voice intact.

Because this podcast? It’s not about him. It’s about us finally detonating silence.

The Lovebombed™ | Idealized, Devalued and Discarded by a Narcissist™

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

I’m Stella Pierson— and this isn’t a love story. It’s a crime scene.

The Lovebombed is a true crime podcast that exposes what happens when love is weaponized— when emotional abuse, coercive control, and psychological manipulation hide behind romance, charm, and “concern”—starting with the lovebomb.

This trailer is your warning label.

We call out dating red flags that felt like fireworks. We drag the lies that looked like love. And we shine a Flood light on the long con no one saw coming.

If you’ve ever questioned your relationship, blamed yourself for the chaos or watched your story get rewritten by someone with something to hide—-this is for you

Because it wasn’t drama. It wasn’t mutual. It was calculated.

And you’re not the crazy one. You’re a Bombshell now. And we rise together.

Love love, Stlz xx

The Lovebombed™ 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.

The Lovebombed™ | Idealized, Devalued and Discarded by a Narcissist™

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

We’re laying down the foundation of The Lovebombed™—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.

The Lovebombed™ | Idealized, Devalued and Discarded by a Narcissist™

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

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.
