Cancel The Steve Wilkos Show

The Issue

Based on compelling evidence, The Steve Wilkos Show is run by selfish and malicious opportunists who willfully exploit and abuse vulnerable guests for profit and revenue. 

Wilkos's wife and executive producer Rachelle Wilkos is aware that Steve Wilkos and the show's former polygrapher Dan Ribacoff are causing innocent guests to attempt and commit suicide with their corrupt and nefarious business practices and yet Mrs. Wilkos is apparently doing nothing to stop their actions:

The following article reveals that Wilkos and Ribacoff bullied former Wilkos guest and mother of 4 Anca Pennington into a near fatal attempted suicide for which she was hospitalized, and for which Ribacoff and Mr. and Mrs. Wilkos never apologized:

Evidence of Anca's innocence of Ribacoff's and Wilkos's false accusations that Anca abused her child could be found in the following video:

The following article shows that Ribacoff bullied and slandered Ms. Pennington yet again, even after her traumatic suicide attempt, and then how Ribacoff tried to erase evidence of his continued libel:

Another previous Wilkos guest named Jesse Perkins "passed" Ribacoff's polygraph for not killing a 15-month-old girl, only to be eventually found guilty of murdering the child, for which Perkins is now being convicted, as this article reports:

Yet another Wilkos guest, Kandie Meinhart, is now being tried for murdering another toddler, despite that Ribacoff's lie detector test found her innocent as well, according to this video, (for which the referenced episode has been deleted by the show, along with numerous other incriminating Wilkos episodes):

Dan Ribacoff has also been exposed as racist against blacks:

Dan and his daughter Lisa Ribacoff were also shown to racially discriminate against an African-American man named Johnathan Carter, as reported by Daily News:

Additionally, Dan and Lisa Ribacoff allegedly encouraged their work colleagues at their investigative company in New York to rape a female subject named Susanne Gold-Smith:

Dan Ribacoff was also removed from The Steve Wilkos Show as a team member and from his position as a polygraph operator for New York transit police, however, Wilkos and his producers never officially announced these respective terminations:

https://dirtycopsandpis.com/ny-mta-terminates-polygraph-services-with-dan-ribacoffs-company-as-more-racist-texts-surface/

Instead, the show appears to have replaced Dan Ribacoff with his daughter Lisa, despite knowing that Ms. Ribacoff is currently undergoing litigation for the alleged aiding and abetting of a rape, along with her father Dan:

https://youtu.be/6z13Kcx0bO8

Jeffrey Augustine, of Crime Beat News, describes how Crime Beat reporters confronted Ms. Ribacoff at an event called Crime Con, which took place during late April to early May in 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Despite the Ribacoff rape lawsuit and despite Wilkos's knowledge of said lawsuit, Crime Con invited Mr. Wilkos and Ms. Ribacoff to appear as hosts at the true crime-themed trade show; Augustine's article covers Ms. Ribacoff's refusal to answer the questions that were asked of her in regards to her father's racist statements and her continued employment of accused rapist Yanti Greene, as captured in dramatic video footage:

Steve Wilkos himself publicly quoted that he himself would never place his full trust on a polygraph and in fact did once pass a polygraph while lying:

 https://youtu.be/Dd3c8mQ7PqY

The mother of a missing woman named Latoya Brown was also horrendously victimized by Dan Ribacoff's fraudulent lie detector test:

https://youtu.be/wbz9nE87dkA

Another alleged victim of the show, Steven Williams, evidently succeeded with an actual suicide, according to this account:

https://youtu.be/YpyZomQ-uzY

A psychic who Steve Wilkos himself, along with his "long-standing friend" and fellow TV personality Jerry Springer, have both publicly acclaimed, also indicated that Wilkos's wife Rachelle is allegedly engaging in malevolent and dangerous cultish practices that could be harming other innocent people associated with Wilkos and the show, for which Mr. Wilkos appears to be doing nothing to stop as well; one possible reason could be that Mrs. Wilkos is abusing her husband from behind the scenes:

https://youtu.be/LtBrFsUGvp4

 https://youtu.be/RR8NMhWqfg0

 https://youtu.be/5LqBSBXdjFM 

Wilkos also publicly reabused, retraumatized and victim-blamed domestic violence survivor Samantha Delcamp; we believe Wilkos's belligerent actions may have partly incited what we feel is a wrongful conviction against this suffering young battered woman:

https://youtu.be/VCubRQAjW6o

As Augustine states in his Crime Beat News article:  "It seems that NBCUniversal likes to profit from the 'True Crime' genre but has swept the racist text message scandal under the rug. The producers of the Steve Wilkos Show are aware of the issue and never released a statement.

Is there a culture of cover-up going on inside of NBCUniversal?  If so, what does this say about their commitment to expose crime wherever they find it?"

We agree that the producers of the Steve Wilkos Show are continuing to attempt to mask over and bury their crimes against their victims by piling on additional self-aggrandizing gimmicks and false good deeds.  If this show is continued, if it remains allowed to reabuse and silence its survivors, and if these survivors continue to remain unheard...more innocent lives may be compromised, and more of a detriment will be placed against them and other potential victims.

For these reasons, we will appreciate as many signatures as possible to prevent even more of these grievous victimizations from happening.  Thank you for your support.
