Emily Simpson

She's continuing to lie.

You know, I wish she was... I didn't hear her name anymore.

I asked Emily Simpson, my friend and fellow true crime podcast host, to come on the show to talk about the case and the documentary's fallout.

Emily, who is a lawyer, is no stranger to being in the spotlight.

In addition to hosting her podcast, Legally Brunette, she's also a cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Hey, Emily, welcome back to the podcast.

Hi, Andrea.

Thanks for having me.

I'm excited to be here.

Yes.

Well, you are the one who actually turned me on to this documentary.

Thank you.

Of course.

And then I saw that our NBC Studios team was also covering it for their video podcast, allegedly on Netflix.

So, Emily, what was your takeaway from Mackenzie's interview in the doc?

I do like the fact that they showed that she had her attorney present because you didn't know that in the beginning of her interview.

She's just sitting there answering questions, constantly talking about she wanted to make sure she hammered in the intent, that there was no intent.

They showed a little bit of her conversation with her attorney saying, basically, did I nail it?

Did I make all the points that there was no intent?

Part of, I think, why people are so interested in this is because of the division, right?
