About this episode

The episode explores the chaotic legal case involving Laura Owens and Clayton Echard, highlighting the internet's obsession with the unfolding drama.

This week on Eavesdroppin' podcast, hosts Geordie & Michelle dive into one of the internet's most chaotic legal rabbit holes - the case involving Laura Owens and former  Bachelor  lead Clayton Echard. When Clayton Echard from Season 26 of America's reality show The Bachelor, invited Laura Owens over to his house for a hook up, he never expected his life to be upended for more than three years. What started as a headline-grabbing paternity dispute spiralled into a years-long online obsession with amateur sleuths, YouTubers, legal commentators and court-watchers trying to piece together what actually happened in the Owens-Echard case and as the proceedings unfolded, more questions than answers emerged, turning this case into a viral obsession. .Listen now to hear a story packed with paternity claims, court hearings, conflicting timelines, fake pregnancies and doctored sonograms, and worst of all - Clayton wasn't the only one... So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat weird Swedish words, annoying people on buses, Jet William's new book and more, only on Eavesdroppin’. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’! *Disclaimer…
