EP 37 | Welcome to Sweetie Pies: Fame, Greed, and a Fatal Scheme

In this episode, The Slippery examines the dark reality behind Welcome to Sweetie Pies, the hit OWN reality show where Tim Norman reigned as a central star. Charismatic and larger-than-life, Norman positioned himself as an aspiring restaurant mogul, musician, and talent manager trying to scale his family’s soul food empire. But as the cameras rolled, a desperate greed took hold—leading Norman to orchestrate a murder for hire scheme that no one saw coming, targeting his own 21-year-old nephew, Andre. A complex, multi-year investigation involving federal agencies—including the FBI, ATF, and local police departments untangled a sprawling web of burner phones, cell tower ping records, fraudulent insurance filings, and paid accomplices across multiple states.
