Summary
In this exclusive interview β part one of a five-part series β Blanca takes us back to the very beginning. How she first met Alex Murdaugh in the late 1990s while helping a friend with a legal case. How a chance encounter at a Pizza Hut parking lot led to years of translation work for his law firm. And how she eventually became the trusted housekeeper for one of the most powerful families in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
But more importantly, Blanca sets the record straight on who Maggie and Paul really were. Maggie wasn't the fur-coat-wearing snob the tabloids made her out to be β she shopped at local mom-and-pop stores and made friends everywhere she went. And Paul? He was a little clown who used to hide Blanca's cleaning supplies just to mess with her.
This is the Murdaugh family before the boat crash. Before the lawsuits. Before the murders. A family that, by all appearances, had it all β money, power, respect, and a tight-knit bond that Blanca found genuinely attractive.
But as we'll learn in the coming segments, that picture was about to shatter.
If you're new to this case or you've followed every twist and turn, this interview offers a perspective you haven't heard β from someone who was actually there, inside the house, part of the family's daily life.
Part 2 drops soon. Make sure you're subscribed and hit the bell so you don't miss it.
Blanca Simpson's book is available now β link in the description.
