In this episode of Blurred Lines, we step away from viral narratives and focus on the lives that were lost.

Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz were two women killed by Wade Wilson after a documented pattern of escalating violence. While parts of this case garnered attention online under misleading nicknames and edited clips, the reality is far more serious—and far more devastating.

This episode examines the warning signs of domestic violence, how escalation can turn deadly, and the harm caused when true crime becomes entertainment. We center the victims, acknowledge the survivor whose voice mattered, and look at how social media blurred the line between accountability and idolization.

This is not a story about a persona. It’s a story about real women, real loss, and the consequences of ignoring red flags.

Be aware, I did change Melissa's nickname just due to her privacy thanks!
