Why is the guy the bad guy?
If the woman wasn't a titanic whore, then this show wouldn't even exist.
shareRight! And if after her screaming and profanity, she's proven to be the bad guy, Maury asks the guy to lay off her because her accusations were "an honest mistake".

It's man-bashing very loosely pretending to be feminism.
Maury and his producers know that women are his majority audience, especially bored housewives. So, they pander to that by blaming men and framing that as empowerment.
Everyone, this is Alice. Please welcome Alice to the show.
(Audience: applause)
A few years ago, she met this man, Bob. She fell in love with him and devoted herself to their relationship.
(Audience: Aww)
So naturally, she was devestated to find out that Bob had betrayed her her by sleeping with another woman!
(Audience: Oooh!)
Andto make matters worse, it was IN THEIR OWN BED!
(Audience: groans)

Everything was going great until one day when Alicia made a mistake in a moment of weakness. During a rough patch in their relationship, she sought comfort in the arms of another man.
