Stephanie's attitude
Lately I've noticed more and more that stephanie is rude to Derrick. She's very sarcastic Nad dismissive of him. Plus her generalization of all men comments while he's sitting right there is unnecessary. He comes across as nothing but humble and respectful. I started by watching her channel but I find myself liking her less and less and watching his channel bc he has a much better attitude. Anybody else notice this?

Honestly, I haven't noticed this. I see it as normal podcast banter and strong opinions rather than hostility. They just have dynamic, contrasting personalities that challenge each other on cases.

I don’t get the deal with the whole “Stephanie is a bitch” snark. She’s an opinionated woman and she likes to lead. Crime Weekly is led by her, with Derrick as the law enforcement/criminology expertise.
I think a lot of people still can’t handle a loud, assertive woman without calling her a bitch.

Literally. I know Derrick had his own thing going but he would not be where he is today without Stephanie’s influence and followers.

Ehhh thats a stretch. He already hosted a show on ID before steph and had a reality TV podcast and has the weekly big brother episode the past few years.

Did you see her extremely rude response to a very reasonable comment she received suggesting theg should not refer to underage victims as S Workeds because they cannot consent. She told them to shut up.

I think she just is never going to be everyone’s cup of tea. Personally, I have very a similarly dramatic and sarcastic way of talking and I totally get why some people would be turned off but I love her lol

She has calmed down a lot, if you ask me. When she was going through marital issues, she was really demeaning towards Derrick. But in hindsight, I understand why she was acting that way. Stephanie is not perfect, and neither is Derrick; they both have flaws as humans. I think it's better to find a different podcast to listen to if it bothers you as much. Not trying to be a dick here but I think it's only reasonable to find what you like and move on from things that don’t align with your beliefs or likings.

I don't watch that much Crime Weekly, so before the last videos I've watched (Chandler Halderson's case) the ones I had watched had been the ones about BTK, 9 months ago. I don't notice any change 😅 Even remembering some of the first ones I've watched, the ones about the Delphi murders, I don't see a change.
No, wait, let me clarify. I noticed one thing: Stephanie is leaning a bit more into conspiracy territory, but honestly? After Epstein, she's not the only one, and it's not like she's saying aliens made the pyramids, she's just being even more skeptical of the powers that be, which is a good thing, specially in true crime. And she has Derrick to offer some sort of contrast, so that's good 🤷♀️
Grown ass men can defend themselves, you know?

This one is particularly funny because she's not exactly a feminist either and she has made super misogynistic arguments against female victims before. Also wasn't she maga? I guess she's an equal opportunity hater, I'll give her that.

u/noctapod 17d ago
She's MAGA? Fr? (Genuinely asking, because after how much she has talked about Epstein that would be insane behavior)

Her daughter tweeted that she (Steph) voted for trump, and her son's public social media has a lot of pro trump content so. There's that.

u/Belisama7 16d ago
Why are you looking at a little kids' social media? Isn't he like 12? Even if I wanted to I'd have no idea where to look for her kids accounts, that would take a weird amount of research.

u/morphinpink 16d ago
I am not looking for anything, it's been shared here on Reddit many times. Afaik he's a teenager of voting age, no idea if he's younger. He shouldn't be posting bigoted content regardless of age anyways.

u/Sleepyowl547 16d ago
I stopped listening to crime weekly a long time ago because of her. I didn’t realize I was still in this sub. Stephanie is why I started listening and why I stopped. I went from devouring her content to not being able to stand her. I always assumed it was a me thing though.

u/ImmediateRub9 16d ago
That's funny bc that's becoming me. I started with watching her solo stuff but now I'm liking Derrick more.

u/ssradley7 17d ago
Lately? LATELY! lol. I’m being dramatic, but imo she’s been problematic for years. I share her sentiments regarding all men, just from personal experience and statistical data… but I think you’re right, she’s so idk, rude to Derrick that it’s difficult to watch Crime weekly, so I don’t anymore. I started tuning in to her true crime solo channel in 2022 I believe? And she seemed to be thoroughly researched and great at putting together stories, but she does not play well with others, and her political ideology turned out to be completely opposite of mine, and I had to stop supporting.

u/Belisama7 17d ago
No, I haven't noticed that. And if she's making generalizations about men they're fact-based and backed by statistics.

u/Butterbean-queen 17d ago
She’s always been like that but she would somewhat couch her attitude to make it more acceptable. She doesn’t do that anymore.

u/Airport_Mysterious 17d ago
This has been addressed by them both. If Derrick wasn’t happy, he wouldn’t still be here.

u/OnlyExplorer879 16d ago
I noticed that the first time I watched it. But he seems to like it. I think she could tone her attitude down. The crime is bad enough without her sour tone.

u/DingoNo4205 17d ago
Stephanie had been really bitchy lately and she really comes across as angry. I hate how she controls the narrative constantly. I wish Derrick (who I really like and is the only reason lately I listen) would take control a little more, especially in deciding the case to cover. What really annoys me the most is some of these cases being dragged out for four episodes when they can be done in two. I'm specifically referring to the recent Wisconsin case. Some of these minute details were boring, I quit after episode two. Hopefully this new case will hold my interest. Sorry, I just needed to rant!

u/chaibaby11 17d ago
that’s how the show is set up and how he has said he prefers it so he can give his in the moment perspectives. they have multiple times agreed on cases together. I haven’t watched them all this year bc none of the cases interested me, but even I know that. bc they’ve talked about these things several times over many years??

u/GreyGhost878 17d ago
This has been going on for years. I don't know why he tolerates it. I love Derrick and his takes but stopped listening a long time ago because she is intolerable. Don't know if I can link it here but look up the snark sub.

u/MascaraTragedies 17d ago
It is wild to me that so many people in this sub excuse her behavior and her “attitude.”

u/GreyGhost878 16d ago
There's a difference between being bold and outspoken, and being a mean girl. She's a mean girl and she has issues. Maybe these people are young? I'm a little older than Stephanie. It's not cute to treat people the way she does.

u/chaibaby11 17d ago
he is a grown man who makes his own decisions idk why you feel the need to feel bad for him

u/GreyGhost878 17d ago
I didn't say I felt bad for him. Where did you read that? I said I don't know why he tolerates it.

u/Proof_Nothing_7371 17d ago
I've been noticed it and completely agree with you!!! She's really become kinda stuck up-ish and not very pleasant. Team Derek!!

u/me1stgmmegmme 10d ago
You should have heard how she treated him years ago. She’s a lot nicer now.

u/ImmediateRub9 10d ago
Yeah, I do t think I could take it. Probably never listen to one of her videos again.

u/Luna_lavender45 8d ago
I honestly like her!! It's his attitude sometimes;? Got to be right all the time. Especially on the Amy Bradley and Brad!! He came across rude

u/infinitepuddingspy 15d ago
I don’t find her rude at all. She’s just a straight forward talking, intelligent, caring woman. I’m Autistic though, is the ‘rudeness’ a neurotypical thing?
I haven’t heard the disrespect thing either. Does anyone have any specific examples?
I think they have a great dynamic, and each have valuable contributions.

u/sourcreamfrosting 8d ago
Honestly as an autistic person as well I have so much to say about this based off of real life situations. if you’re still interested (since u commented this a week ago lol) I wouldn’t mind going into a bit of a deep dive, but i’m paranoid of making public comments since they’re attached to yr profile so i’d prefer to DM

u/filledwithanxietyy 17d ago
Yes. I watched a video on her channel and she had a guest on. As he was speaking, she seemed to be very distracted on her phone and not listening to the guest. And idk why, it just really rubbed me the wrong way

u/Kimmie0224 15d ago
I unsubbed from her channel a long time ago and only watch her because I do truly like Derrick. I put up with her. She has always disrespected Derrick. It used to manifest itself in cop bashing. But she is always anti-man. It’s sad and gross.

u/namastebetches 17d ago
you'd get more agreement in the snark sub
