The Spencer Files
🎙️ The Spencer Files is a true story of family betrayal and a legacy quietly unraveled. Hosted by E.J. LeClair, it follows the fall of a once-close family through secrets, lawsuits, and manipulation. At the center: Chet Spencer, a retired LAPD commander, and those he trusted most — his daughter Melissa and her husband Darren, a powerful financial CEO. What appeared to be family support may have been something darker: theft, embezzlement, and abuse. This is what happens when loyalty meets greed. 📌 Season 2 coming October 5th.
