In 1982, Dan Broderick made the fateful decision to hire former flight attendant Linda Kolkena as one of his legal assistants. The pair began an affair, and the Brodericks were soon embroiled in a vicious yearslong divorce. As proceedings dragged on, Betty's behavior became more alarming. She left hundreds of threatening messages on Dan's answering machine, blew through restraining orders that banned her from seeing him and once even drove her car into his house despite their children being at home.
