Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one.
At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.

I rarely leave reviews, but this podcast deserves one. It’s a gripping story, and one I wasn’t aware of until I stumbled across the podcast on Audible. (As an aside, there are far too many ads – although that may just be the platform I’m listening on.)

The host/journalist has a great voice and their research is excellent. Pathological lying and people who seem to live in “alternate realities” fascinate me, and this is very much one of those stories. I’d love to hear a forensic psychologist weigh in as well, because the level of commitment to “the lie” is extraordinary.

It’s also striking how much time and how many legal resources can be consumed by situations like this. But these things can and do happen, and it’s important that the stories are told.

I also commend Echard for his willingness to be vulnerable and, at times, "honest to a fault". Well done to the entire team!

Gripping and well-researched storytelling

Brilliantly produced, investigated and delivered… succinctly done. I was gripped from beginning to end… can’t believe I’ve never heard of this case before. If this had been a work of fiction I would have switched off pretty much straight away as a way over the top storyline… I’m still shocked at her behaviour and frustrated that she was getting away with it for so long… unbelievable but true!!! Mindblown…

You couldn’t make this up!
