Worst Ex Ever has revealed some truly terrifying stories from past relationships, but what shocks viewers even more is something much bigger.
This show features firsthand accounts from those who narrowly escaped, highlighting horrific experiences that range from murder plots to concealed identities.
Since its release, the series has garnered a substantial following on Netflix, with many viewers expressing disbelief at the events unfold. However, their outrage and disbelief stem from a much deeper issue: the ineffective nature of the criminal justice system.
“After watching Worst Ex Ever, what I’m left with is not all the crazy stuff the exes did, as angry exes do crazy stuff all the time. What I found most shocking is how utterly useless the justice system in those locations were,” noted one Reddit user.
“Especially shocked about the victim being accused of being a criminal. I truly hope that in general the US justice system is not as bad as they portrayed it in the series.”
“My bf and I are watching this series. We are almost finished with the second episode. We are blown away by the treatment of Seemona. Locked away for months and her whole life destroyed,” shared another viewer.
“We haven’t seen the end yet but so far it has been infuriating to watch. And both of the perpetrators so far have been very attractive but psychotic men.”
One of the most disturbing episodes is Episode 2, which focuses on Seemona Sumasar, who was wrongfully imprisoned for months for a crime she did not commit. Her case was so egregious that she successfully sued Nassau County for $2 million.
Moreover, other episodes also showcase how victims are frequently let down by law enforcement, capturing the attention of viewers everywhere.
One viewer expressed, “Our justice system is a joke. In almost any true crime episode, law enforcement fails multiple times before the situation escalates beyond control. It’s appalling.”
“Just watching this series and I never usually comment on anything, however the way these cases were handled by the justice system has appalled me!” remarked another. “The complete incompetence displayed by the justice system is unbelievable! It’s hard to comprehend how they keep getting it so wrong!”
