Summary

What has two PhDs, a huge smile, and an unshakeable belief in aliens? Brigitte Boisselier, who gave up a rather normal life in France to become the second-in-command to a cult leader, and who rose to infamy when she announced to the world that she was awfully busy cloning humans. How does a woman go from studying chemistry to supporting a sex-obsessed alien addict? And what does she give up when she climbs that particular not-so-corporate ladder?

Hello, hello.

You're listening to Criminal Broads, a true crime podcast about wild women on the wrong side of the law.

I'm your host, Tori Telfer, and I just wanted to say thank you guys so much for all the emails you sent me, the emails of sympathy for the cockroach encounter in my recording

about it, feeling a little bit abandoned, feeling alone with my cockroach. It's okay. I can

1:09.9

Tolita. She has been listening since at least

1:12.9

2021. And she is a doctor. And she emailed me something about the last episode about Dr. Lisa Tsung.

1:20.7

She says, the thing that strikes me about Lisa Tsung is her sheer callousness. I don't think she was

1:25.8

cold or calculating. She was just callous.

1:29.4

And she goes on to say, you mentioned the jury was mostly female, which makes me wonder whether

1:33.9

her sentence may have been especially harsh, being judged by other women and mothers.

1:39.3

I think that's a great point. As any of us who are women know, nobody can be meaner to a woman than another woman. And yeah, mothers on the jury would have made the case especially emotional for those women. I think it's a good point. As we noted in the last episode, her sentence was very different from other people being tried for similar crimes.

2:02.6

So anyway, thanks Tolita for emailing.

Okay, we are going to go to France today.
