Get the Full StoryIf you're still reeling from the wild Dirty John finale, we're right there with you.

Yes, it's true that Meehan and Newell tied the knot after only a couple of months of dating. And yes, it's true that Meehan set Newell's car on fire when they were separated, though it was actually a Tesla, not a Maserati. Still, there were a few important details that the Bravo series left out from the harrowing true story. Maybe they just couldn't fit them all in eight episodes? We get it - it's a lot.
