00:00An Oregon beauty queen seems to have it all.
00:13He thought the moon, the stars, everything.
00:16That was Tina.
00:18Until she takes a fall from grace.
00:21I just kind of let loose.
00:23A new man introduces her to the bright lights of the big city.
00:29This is a whole new class of person that I had never met.
00:33She's blinded by his deep-seated demons, but she's not going down without a fight.
00:38And she just pulled a knife out right there.
00:40I was like, oh my God, she is going to try to kill me today.
00:43You want to be crazy?
00:45Tina, stop it.
00:46Tina, ah!
00:50Not all fairy tales have happy endings.
00:54When love goes wrong, a woman can do the unthinkable.
01:04At just 13 years old, Tina Gardner is a natural on the pageant stage.
01:09Tina, if you had one wish, what would it be?
01:11That would be easy.
01:14To educate the world's children.
01:16We received an invitation to Miss Teen Oregon.
01:22Which was, if you made it to the finals, then you would be in Miss Teen USA.
01:26And now, in third place, we have Tina Gardner.
01:34She goes on to win Best Smile and Miss Congeniality.
01:37She was the star of the whole pageant.
01:41She was so beautiful.
01:45And she was the best.
01:51She learns early on to use her looks to get what she wants.
01:55It was definitely highlight of my younger years.
02:05Tina and her older sister, Maria, have lived with their grandparents since they were very
02:09small.
02:11Tina's relationship was really good with both of my grandparents.
02:15I mean, we were all pretty close.
02:17Their mother was trapped in an abusive relationship and couldn't take care of them, and they never
02:23really knew their father.
02:25Their mother begged me to come and get the girls.
02:29Luckily, life with their grandparents is pretty good.
02:33They live in the small coastal town of Brookings, Oregon.
02:37You thought of your grandmother as your mother, as your primary caregiver from day one.
02:43Tina and her sister, Maria, have always been close.
02:50Their grandma dotes on the girls and showers them with love and attention.
02:55I'm going to make you lasagna.
02:57Yay!
02:58Yeah!
02:59Their grandfather is loving, but strict.
03:02Sorry.
03:03Sorry, Grandpa.
03:04We did a lot of things together.
03:07What's always ruckus in here?
03:09Grandma's making lasagna.
03:11The girls got good grades in school.
03:14I was very proud of my girls.
03:17Up until we were like about 10 and 12 years old, things were like kind of storybook in
03:23our life.
03:24No dinner unless you finish that homework and I get on it.
03:29But as a young teenager, Maria grows depressed.
03:35I was going through that change and becoming a woman and getting more emotions.
03:41One day, she does the unthinkable.
03:44I thought the answer was suicide, so I did get a knife and try to kill myself.
03:50Their grandparents don't think they can handle Maria's challenges and send her away to a
03:55children's shelter.
03:56My sister was my best friend.
04:00I didn't even get to say goodbye.
04:02Dr. Casey Jordan studies criminal behavior.
04:05The bond that Tina shared with her sister has been ripped apart and that kind of emotional
04:11turmoil can have lasting effects on a child and may make it harder for Tina to open her
04:16heart to others in the future.
04:18I know what you want to do.
04:22Don't tell me what.
04:23What matters worse, as she enters her teenage years, Tina's relationship with her grandfather
04:29deteriorates.
04:30Well, my dad has always been very, very stern.
04:35He's always been very strict.
04:38When Tina tells him she wants to be a teacher, he shoots down her dreams in a cloud of smoke.
04:45He was very critical and told me that teachers don't make that much money.
04:51He also disapproves of her social life.
05:01I was super active.
05:02I mean, I played volleyball, basketball.
05:04He didn't like that.
05:05He wanted me home on the weekends.
05:07It was like once boys were in the picture, that's when he was like, oh no.
05:12Tina's so outgoing.
05:15She's a social creature.
05:17I could see that could cause friction.
05:25When high school ends, Tina's excited about her future.
05:29She's planning to live at home and go to college.
05:35But her grandfather has a different plan.
05:41Once I graduated, my things were packed.
05:44What the hell is this?
05:46And when I got back from the ceremony?
05:48It's time for you to leave.
05:49I was out of the house.
05:51This is total and you know it.
05:53I'm not going anywhere.
05:55Do we really have to do this today?
05:57Yes.
05:58Tina's grandpa ignores his wife's protests.
06:02Are you proud of that?
06:04Her whole world comes crashing down.
06:15Now homeless, Tina moves in with a friend and tries to support herself working two jobs.
06:21Her dreams of going to college are temporarily dashed, but this determined young woman isn't about to give up.
06:28She applies for a writing scholarship.
06:32Tina saw that her scholarship was her way to do something besides stay in a small town and work at McDonald's.
06:40Tina wins her way back into school.
06:43At Oregon State University, she starts working towards her degree in early childhood education.
06:50Tina worked hard.
06:51She was motivated.
06:52The sky was the limit and she was going after it.
06:57But there was one thing missing.
07:00A man.
07:01Until Jake.
07:02Hey.
07:03Hi.
07:04He brought a new air of light into my life.
07:08He was like such a gentleman.
07:09Just working on some settings.
07:11After just a couple of dates, Tina and Jake are inseparable.
07:16Jake was very kind, very sweet to Tina, always looked after her, took really good care of
07:23her.
07:24He just worshipped her pretty much.
07:26Tina also loves Jake's tight-knit, well-to-do family.
07:33They welcome her with open arms.
07:35Jake said that his mom always wanted a daughter.
07:40And when she told me herself, she's like, you're like a daughter to me.
07:44That was an amazing piece.
07:46After Jake and Tina have been dating for a couple of years, his parents rent them an apartment.
07:55Then, according to Tina, one morning Jake's mom completely crosses the line.
08:00I'm still under the sheets and I'm, you know, in my birthday suit.
08:05Good morning, sunshine.
08:06Good morning.
08:07She would come into the bed.
08:09Like, come sit on the bed?
08:10Come sit on the bed.
08:12And lay on top of the covers and I'm like, hello, do you see what's going on here?
08:17Okay, you kids.
08:18I'll talk to you later.
08:20Have a lovely morning.
08:21Hope you're going to get dressed at some point.
08:23Hey, listen.
08:24Something for you.
08:25The relationship with Jake's mother pushed Tina away because it was like she couldn't
08:31be number one to him.
08:32It was still his mom that was number one.
08:34I don't know why this is such a big deal.
08:36Don't let your mom come in the bedroom while we're both naked.
08:41Money is also an issue.
08:43For God's sakes, Jake, grow up.
08:46Let go of the nipple.
08:49Jake was definitely a mama's boy.
08:51We can talk about this later.
08:52I've got stuff I've got to do.
08:53He's got a mom and dad that can financially support him.
08:57And, you know, she's having to get student loans and food stamps.
09:00That was a big issue for Tina.
09:02She's really weird.
09:03Tina will always play second fiddle to Jake's mom.
09:06And the fact that his parents are footing the bills means that whatever they say goes.
09:10Well, this kind of meddling will only serve to drive a wedge between her and Jake.
09:14I don't want us to end on bad terms.
09:17We're going to separate.
09:18We're going to kind of go our own way.
09:20And was it amicable when you finally ended it?
09:23There was always that thought that maybe we could work it back out.
09:26But if this is the way that you're going to behave, I can't do anything about it.
09:29I can't do anything about it.
09:30Well, fine.
09:31Go!
09:35With Jake's help, Tina finds a new place to live.
09:38Wow, Mackenzie, you look pretty.
09:40Her roommate is Mackenzie, a fellow student who's also a friend of Jake's family.
09:46I'm actually running late.
09:47Are you going to be okay?
09:49Yeah, I'll be fine.
09:50Once she's alone, Tina starts thinking about Jake.
09:56She's trying to forget him, but she misses him desperately.
09:59You know, I was still in the back of my mind thinking, well, let me give this one last go around.
10:05She heads over to Jake's place, hoping to rekindle the romance.
10:17Jake, open the door.
10:19It's me, Tina.
10:20He comes, answers the door, and he has on just a pair of basketball shorts.
10:24The shirt's off.
10:25He's like, oh, kind of shocked.
10:26Look on his face.
10:27Tina, what are you doing here?
10:28I wanted to talk.
10:29It's not a good time.
10:30Why?
10:31What's going on?
10:33Tina Gardner is a young college co-ed who's going through a painful breakup.
10:53We're just going through different things.
10:55She's still in love with her ex-boyfriend, Jake, and shows up at his doorstep hoping to get him back.
11:01Tina, what are you doing here?
11:04And from behind the screen, here comes my roommate.
11:11I see why it's not a good time.
11:15She is wearing one of his jerseys and nothing else.
11:20Are you kidding me?
11:21I guess he had moved on.
11:22How can you portray me like this?
11:24You have no soul.
11:26I thought us was over, okay?
11:29Tina feels completely betrayed.
11:32I was devastated because I wanted that picturesque family.
11:36You lost on the best thing you ever had.
11:39Even more than losing Jake, Tina is grieving the loss of his family.
11:44Her search for a relationship goes hand in hand with her desperate longing for the family that she never had growing up.
11:50Tina moves out of the apartment she shares with Mackenzie the next day.
11:56Now brokenhearted, the rest of her dreams start falling by the wayside.
12:01She starts partying to drown her sorrows, and her grades begin falling.
12:06I saw the change in my sister from doing really well to starting to slip.
12:12The grades, the partying, all of that started to kind of get out of control.
12:18Tina ends up dropping out of school.
12:25Her sister Maria invites her to visit her in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
12:29I was a bartender at the time at a gentleman's club.
12:33Maria thinks she knows a way to cheer her sister up.
12:37My sister had someone she wanted me to meet.
12:42A well-to-do businessman, you have someone that's a big-time CEO,
12:47and I was intrigued by that.
12:50This is my baby sis, Tina.
12:53Nice to meet you. Pleasure.
12:55Let me introduce you to somebody who's fun.
12:58He's not looking for anything serious.
13:00Nick is just the escape Tina's looking for.
13:04Little bit of this here?
13:07Yeah, sure, why not?
13:09All right, you're my kind of girl.
13:11First thing, he offers me a bump.
13:14Mmm.
13:15Of cocaine.
13:19Like straight off the plane.
13:20Straight off the plane.
13:23Okay, welcome to the city.
13:25Let's get it on.
13:27Let's party.
13:28Cheers.
13:29It's gonna be a good night.
13:30Mmm.
13:31You know, I just kind of let loose.
13:33Good, homie.
13:34Get out of here.
13:35Tina's launched into the stratosphere.
13:38Let's go have some fun.
13:40Nick invites Tina to stay at his lavish home.
13:47She figures she has nothing to lose.
13:50He starts using her to live out his wildest fantasies.
13:55And he keeps the cocaine coming.
13:58He put jewelry on me that was, like, extravagant.
14:04But he wanted me to strip down.
14:09And then he'd order pizza.
14:12And he'd want me to go and answer the door and my heels
14:14and all of this, you know, eloquent jewelry.
14:17And...
14:18Nude.
14:1922.

14:2822.
14:2922.
14:3050.
14:31Did you see his photos?
14:32I believe that Tina's relationship with the CEO was very toxic.
14:45They got into a binge and both became very detached from reality.
14:5322.

17:12starting from square one and it was gonna be a rough ride but I was gonna make
17:17it happen what exactly would I be doing the fact that Andre is successful and
17:21older makes Tina even more intrigued by him and it doesn't hurt that he's

18:19lavish lifestyle may actually be a nightmare

18:45caution to the wind by embarking on an adventure with a man she barely knows
18:50sure I'll buy my ticket today but after touching down in Las Vegas to be with him
18:56she gets the welcome rug pulled out from under her as we are pulling up my heart
19:03is racing I can barely breathe I'm like oh my gosh
19:10Tina's cab drops her at a low-rent motel what happened where's the condo where's
19:20the pool is it just a big misunderstanding oh no I've been lied to not sure at all I was
19:27actually staying with a friend at a time and I was in the process of moving so I
19:34told Tina all of this before she came out there what the hell is this it's a motel she knew what
19:41I was gonna go through to get my company set up and like I told her I was starting from square one is
19:46this your business I was very clear with you Tina weighs her options if she goes back to Oregon she has no
19:53prospects at least here she has a shot at a better future I don't think you were very clear I still had
20:01a job that's what kept me hanging on even though the bubble of her fabulous Vegas life has burst
20:07Tina ignores her instincts and she stays with Andre all of her failures in the past have ruined her
20:13confidence she feels that she needs to rely on him to save her all right I'll give it a shot and only a
20:21a shot okay that's all I ask for just give it a chance my bag the next morning Andre tells Tina it's
20:39time to get to work he's run radio ads promoting his tax-saving business and she has to follow up with
20:46all the people who have called in he hands up a script to me says you need to practice this and
20:53we're gonna get on the phone really simple really easy just hit these few points so we're not going to
20:58office this is the office so we're doing this out of the hotel and then just hop on the phone I was
21:08disappointed but I stuck it out I practiced the script and I brought in a couple deals for the
21:22first few months Tina and Andre are just scraping by financially but the tough times only make them
21:28grow closer we started from zero so Tina and I had to depend on each other a lot to eat keep the
21:37bills paid to make it day to day and we became very close Tina was my everything she was my best
21:44friend at one time she was my partner the hard work pays off pretty soon the business turns a profit
21:58oh my god we would have our extreme great moments Tina claims the couple starts rubbing elbows with the
22:07Las Vegas elite to making money and saving it you were out there with billionaires those are the moments
22:17that that kept you going you felt like a rock star absolutely but Tina's big break is short-lived so it
22:32was like this this a cycle about a three-month cycle up three months down three months nothing this time
22:40they barely have enough money to eat meals out of the vending machine we got one last one Andre and I
22:47are splitting ding-dongs for dinner you went all in and now the coffers are dry right it's New Year's
23:01Eve 2004 and Tina's been in Vegas for over a year the financial rollercoaster has become unbearable Tina heads to
23:16a local casino to blow off some steam and gets a taste of Sin City that catches her completely off
23:24guard there was two women and a gentleman I had caught their eye and they'd asked me to join their party
23:35the man makes it clear to Tina that he'll make it worth her while if she has some adventurous fun with
23:44him and his party pals come upstairs with me so you went back to the room yes and engaged in the show yes
23:59I was up for it I mean these women were were beautiful they just made it seem like very natural
24:08I could tell America that yes I kissed a girl the next morning Tina has dozens of messages from Andre
24:30when she gets back to their motel she shows Andre the cash she earned make it rain baby
24:39where'd you get all this I made it he's like well where'd you get this money some guy at the
24:46casino I hung out with him you don't get paid this money just to hang out he doesn't believe he doesn't

25:12Tina was actually going out prostituting one of the girls that I did the show with texted me she said
25:23that I was a great kisser and she would love to see me again when Andre sees the messages Tina claims
25:30he has a complete meltdown this is what you do is how you make your money are you serious we're having
25:35a struggle for the phone this is what hanging out means to you are you searching through my phone I'm

26:09he punches me when I felt the pain of it I was like did he really just hit me I would never put
26:20my hands on her first but when she hit me I would hit her back you better not touch me again it's hard
26:28to say who the aggressor is in this relationship more than likely they're both at fault and they feed
26:34off each other's egos when things go south they're quick to point the finger at each other and refuse to
26:39own up to their own anger issues when Tina returns to the room later that day Andre apologizes he said
26:47that he just got in a rage because I had lied to him I mean slap I don't want to do that I just I
26:52just care about you he did pull on her heartstrings all the time and say you know nobody's ever loved
26:58me it hurts all right it hurts so I lost my cool I'm sorry and Tina from being from the same thing not
27:05having that security or the love or an approval that she was seeking they found out in each other in
27:11a very dysfunctional way I promise you I'll never hit you again I just want you to be with me I want
27:16you to believe in me I was determined to make things work Tina and Andre make up in a big way
27:26things get you know heated and I end up conceiving that night when Tina discovers she's pregnant she has
27:48mixed feelings she's always wanted a family but isn't sure she wants one with Andre Andre I'm pregnant
27:58when she breaks the news to him he's thrilled to see his eyes light up that he would be a father and
28:10then we talk about you know the future of our family is it a girl or boy I don't know I told
28:17myself that I'm gonna make it work I'm gonna do whatever I can to make it work not only are they
28:24thrilled about the baby business is booming and their luck holds Andre's wealthy friend invites them
28:31to stay in his upscale home did you feel like you had arrived I felt yes this is it this is it
28:38we are working together but there's still this anger I mean you're gonna be a mother for God's sake
28:56that just doesn't go away in Andre he's paranoid Tina was always cheating I didn't trust her and when I
29:07I quit trusting Tina I kept girlfriends on the side after that don't have girlfriends all right
29:12are you gonna are you gonna change or what Tina also claims Andre tightens his control over her by
29:17clamping down on the purse strings so if you give me money anyway look I'll start giving you money
29:22when you start acting it's been a year and a half since Tina started helping Andre with his business hey
29:30honey can we talk for a minute I was thinking business is established she decides it's time to

36:4727 year old Tina Gardner has been in a rocky relationship with her boyfriend Andre for the
37:09past five years this is what you do is how you make your money are you serious but a flood of
37:14accusations and abuse has crested to a terrifying tidal wave do not walk away from me according to
37:23Tina she races up the stairs determined to not become a victim of Andre's wrath when I got to the
37:30top of the stairs I locked my son in his room as soon as I turned around there was Andre and all I saw
37:40was the knife and I think he saw that look in my eyes because he was like oh let's just talk let's
37:59just talk I couldn't hear that don't do anything crazy to stop he could have killed me and I said it
38:07was done Tina stop you stop stop she said that's enough I'm not gonna take it anymore she snapped he made
38:24me run so I was gonna make him run for his life Andre knows he's in trouble Tina stop it Tina stop he tries
38:38to slam the bathroom door but I put my foot in the door and all I did was reach around like this and slice
38:48she was swinging that knife I knew she was trying to kill me I cut his arm all the way up under his
39:00bicep and all I could hear was oh my god I'm bleeding I thought I hit bone I didn't even realize she was
39:15cutting me at the time until I started seeing all the blood I think the most shocking part about
39:22after I cut him was seeing the amount of blood Tina tries to stop the bleeding it's like I didn't know
39:33I cut you I didn't know I cut you I didn't know I did that I didn't know although Tina claims she acted
39:43in self-defense Andre claims she pulled a knife on him with the intent to kill I had walked downstairs
39:51and I was raising hell with her you're gonna screw the neighbor so what if I screw the name so what
39:57you're the mother of my child this is what you do really and she just pulled a knife out right there
40:03put the knife in my face and just like I'm tired of you okay wait wait wait she's just rambling on and
40:12it's this look and it's glazing her eyes like I've never seen before I'll show you crazy okay
40:17oh you want to see it washed up beautifully I was like oh my god she is gonna try to kill me today
40:24stop you want to see crazy I start to run from her and run up the stairs and that's when she chased
40:29me up the stairs we may never know who the original aggressor was here the fact remains that Tina got the
40:49knife and went after Andre she could have grabbed the knife and run away but instead she went on the
40:55attack after the stabbing Andre is afraid if he calls the police they'll break up their family then
41:04we both calm down like what are you doing Tina this is stupid and I need to protect you and DJ I do not
41:09want my son and I get split up because I felt like everything was gonna be against me anyway at the end of
41:15the day so Andre comes up with a plan we're gonna go to the hospital we're gonna tell them that I tried to fix the life we can't tell them that I tried to fix the life
41:27Tina drives Andre to the hospital where he's given 24 stitches
41:34I'm so sorry I did not need to get off the doctor said another half a centimeter it would have hit my
41:41main artery you can give me an idea what happened here cuz Tina and Andre are both questioned I told
41:52him I just fell on a knife there was a light that needed to be fixed the only thing I could find at the
41:56time was was a knife so I tried to unscrew it and I slipped it just doesn't feel right to me to be
42:03honest with you they stick to the same script and he fell on a knife even though doctors suspect the two
42:10are lying they don't call the police and let them go home and that's what happened Tina and Andre decide
42:17to separate Andre stays in Florida and Tina and her son DJ go to stay with her sister Maria in Oklahoma
42:25thank God Tina is not with Andre anymore I am very thankful that she is finally recovering from
42:32that relationship since the incident Andre's business has collapsed and he's struggling to
42:39rebuild his life he and Tina are no longer in contact you're acting crazy I'm acting crazy I'll show you
42:47crazy my life with Tina was hell Tina is very manipulative deceitful all she cares about is her
42:55she doesn't care about telling lies this is what you do this is how you make your money I regret
42:59choosing to be with her this is one of the worst mistakes I ever could have made in my life Tina says
43:05she has turned her life around she's engaged to be married and has started her own consulting business
43:11because of everything I've been through I think that I am a strong educated worldly wise woman now as far as
43:24regrets go I have none it started with lies and deceit and it came to the point of a knife and that's where it ended
