Meet the Devious Dame: Ex-Wife of Reality Star Aaron Goodwin Goes from Spouse to Sworn Enemy after Murder-For-Hire PlotThe dramatic courtroom reunion couldn't have been more harshTheir divorce papers were signed mere days after her arrest
Reality television star Aaron Goodwin faced off with his former wife, Victoria Goodwin, on Thursday at her sentencing for attempting to hire a hitman to eliminate him. As the low-down lawyer handed over the details, the once-lovey-dovey couple sat thrusting daggers at each other in the courtroom.
Victoria, aged 32, was sentenced to a slap-on-the-wrist punishment of three years and seven-and-a-half years in Nevada's slammer, based on a plea deal she had accepted for her guilt in conspiring the murder. The separate accusation of soliciting the murder was dropped as part of the deal.
Yanking on her pearl necklace, Victoria fessed up to her ex-husband in court: "Damn, Aaron, I effin' messed up! I've tortured you, wrecked us, and betrayed you, boy. All I can offer is my heartfelt apologies and a promise to vanish for good from your life."
The plot began in May 2024 when Victoria became smitten with a snake in a true-crime flick, none other than Grant Amato, a lifer in a Florida prison for offing his kin. She alerted the reptile to her husband's movements and whereabouts, constantly updating him through the fruit of Apple's "Find My" device. Dollars and deadliness do have a way of intertwining, don't they?
When the news of Victoria's wicked plans hit the fan, Aaron felt the chill running down his spine and hired guns for protection, never knowing when or if his date with the deep end would arrive. To say he was living on edge would be a massive understatement.
"I can't stomach the fear anymore! I shed tears daily, battling with my emotions, lost in a hostile world. Trust is shattered, and I feel utterly alone," Aaron confessed, shaking from head to toe. Despite not knowing squat about the murder plot, hit man, or blackmail until Victoria got busted, he's now forced to live with security and therapy to put the pieces of his life back together.
