It started with a cupcake. A tearful TikTok from a single mom baking her own birthday dessert for her kids captured the hearts of millions and turned Elizabeth Teckenbrock into “Cupcake Mom” overnight. But just as quickly as she rose to viral fame, her ex-husband came forward with a video of his own—and a completely different version of who Elizabeth really was.
He accused her of faking cancer, scamming donors, and lying about everything from custody to court orders. And while the internet was still deciding who to believe, we started digging… and what we found went far beyond a messy divorce.
In our premiere episode, we go deeper than a TikTok takedown. From faking her child’s cancer diagnosis, to telling friends she’d been cast on 16 and Pregnant, to reinventing herself under a new name—Elizabeth’s story spans over a decade of deception. And this is just the beginning.
