In the trailer, which you can watch below, Fjellhøy explains that when The Tinder Swindler became a worldwide sensation, women began reaching out to her with their own stories of being conned by manipulative Romeos. 'These scammers have been getting away with this for way too long,' she decides, so she and private eye Brianne Joseph hit the road to investigate these men who are 'almost too good to be true,' confront them on camera and find some measure of justice for the women involved.
'I never imagined my story would resonate the way it has,' Fjellhøy said in a statement. 'Since The Tinder Swindler, I've heard from people all over the world who've been targeted by criminals hiding behind love. Love Con Revenge is a way for me to use what I've learned to help others heal, reclaim their voices, their power, and their lives.'
'Love Con Revenge uncovers the jaw-dropping scale of romance fraud — and the emotional and financial toll it takes on victims,' creative director James O'Reilly added. 'This is a truly modern crime that is exploding in the United States and around the world. It's been incredible to follow Cecilie and Brianne as they investigate these cases — to bring justice to the victims, and hold the perpetrators to account who've gotten away with this for far too long.'

Tina Knowles Writes Long Tribute to Beyoncé's ‘Talent and Hard Work'
THE RUNDOWN On Saturday, Tina Knowles shared a long tribute to her daughter, Beyoncé, posting some of her thoughts about the Renaissance singer's long career and how she reached her icon status. The caption accompanied a montage of Beyoncé's performances over the years from her childhood up to her recent Cowboy Carter tour. 'This is bittersweet! The reenactment of her speech and twirl,' Knowles wrote. 'Yes, her career has come full circle from that moment, when she won her first 'Peoples Workshop award' to her doing it on her sold out concert tour in Houston. She thanked her parents and Houston!' Knowles did not name any names, but as she continued, she seemed to allude to other stars of the industry who did not conduct themselves the way her daughter has in her eyes. 'As a Kid with big dreams, She made a commitment to work hard! Polish her craft, take vocal lessons, dance lessons, sacrifice, focus, train, and mind her own damn business and does not mess with anybody,' Knowles stated. 'She sticks close to her family. She never gossiped or put anybody else down, to make herself feel better.' She continued, 'She was inspired and respectful and paid homage to those great artists that came before her. She gave back to her community. She has never used someone else's name to get publicity or attention for herself. No one lives rent free in her head because she is obsessed with them or jealous of them.' The praise continued, with Knowles asserting that Beyoncé has always been supportive of others and unlikely to share negative comparisons or start feuds. 'She has also NEVER constantly criticized other's looks, talent, and character. Has never lied on, or started false rumors about others, has never started one-sided beefs with anyone, to get her name on mainstream media outlets or be relevant or in the current news,' Knowles added. 'She chose to rely on her talent and hard work and her own name. But if she has helped you stay relevant or to get your name in the press. I'm very happy she could help you. You're welcome! God bless You🙏🏽 Ps. if you haven't done any of these things, then this does not apply to you. But if the shoe fits, I'm sure we will be hearing from you.😆 10,9,8,7,6,5 ,4 ,3 ,2,1.'

On Saturday, Jerry Jones was mum on Micah Parsons (which might say plenty)
Last Saturday, Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones said plenty about linebacker Micah Parsons. This Saturday, Jones said nothing. Asked about the status of the conversations with Parsons by Kristi Scales of 105.3 The Fan before the preseason opener against the Rams, Jones offered up s word shrimp salad. "I'm glad to see he's working out, in shape, and feels great, and so all of that's good, and, I don't have anything to comment on," Jones said. Given the extent to which Jones has been talking (and talking . . . and talking) about Parsons, the silence speaks volumes. Especially with the Hollywood premiere of the Netflix All-About-Jerry docuseries happening on Monday. This week will be about promoting The Jerry Show, which debuts on August 19. What better way to start the push for the latest NFL-Netflix partnership than to dominate the sports news with the signing of Parsons to his overdue long-term deal? Hey, if the series does well enough, maybe the NFL will end up owning 10 percent of Netflix, too.
