About the episode

Amanda Reilly warmed hearts with her blog describing her battle with terminal cancer. The young mother received donations from her church and various fundraisers in her name. But some around her became suspicious her elaborate website was nothing more than theater. Soon, reporters and law enforcement were picking apart her health claims and following the money. Even after her fraud was made public, Amanda maintained she was a cancer survivor being set up by her enemies.Available on Hulu, ABC News Studios presents “Scamanda,” telling Reilly’s story and picking up where the hit 2023 podcast left off. Through interviews with key players, including original host Charlie Webster, the four part documentary recounts her seven year con for cash and sympathy, and relays what Reilly is now doing nearly two years after the number one show made her infamous.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "SCAMANDA" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 13 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: p*ssed off.
