WATCH: The scary truth behind Netflix series Dirty John IOL_Lifestyle

Love is blind. Never has a statement been more true when it comes to the chilling new Netflix series Dirty John. The US true crime story is based on the podcast series by the same name presented by Christopher Goffard.

But here's where things get interesting. During an interview with ABC News in January, the real Debra Newell shared her story of how she fell in love with a violent conman that inspired a podcast, TV series, and, now a documentary. "I was worried that John was going to kill me to try and get the money because I'd married him," said Newell. The interview further reveals John's different personas and various social security numbers he used to con his way into unsuspecting women's lives.

But soon, their love stories turned sour as he revealed his darker side. "He said I was a wh*re and a b*tch, and was going to pay for what I did," said one of his victims once she decided to press charges against him.

Ex-spy spills the beans on state security dirty tricksA plot to destabilise the ANC would be to stage 'fake shooting and bombings' of ex-North West and Free State premiers and then blame Ramaphosa and his supporters. They call the source prophet or whiskey but Zuma calls him an apartheid spy. Just finished reading the article & it falls under the fake news category. It was written by someone who wants to devide the ANC before the up coming elections. It's obvious that O'Sullivan bought Whisky a lot of whisky in order for whisky to lie. Brandy will tell us the truth. The SSA is a Criminal Institution. A number of SSA officials reported maladministration and criminal acts at the IG long before all of this. The IG did nothing!! That's the Problem. Cases are there for years or just never attended to properly.

Ntsiki Mazwai: So vele, I'm not dirty anymore because I wear TV make-up?'I think I'm trying to understand how wearing make-up suddenly makes me clean, when make-up is dirty, and actually I usually rock a clean face. I don't always understand you guys.' Make up is like an other form of augmenting your looks. It has always been part of human tradition. If you check even people who live primitive lives, they still put some stuff on their hair and faces. If it is not working for you, leave it and shut up.
