Where to Watch Southern Fried Lies, Oxygen's Latest True Crime Special

A Southern scandal, a forged will, and a string of suspicious deaths – Oxygen's Southern Fried Lies unravels the jaw-dropping true crime story out of Camden, Arkansas, that has everyone talking. The two-hour special is now streaming on Peacock, and if you missed it the first time, here’s everything you need to know before you press play. 

What is Southern Fried Lies about? 

In Camden, Arkansas, the only thing thicker than the summer air is the gossip. But when beloved local hero Matt Jacobs – one of the richest men in town thanks to a Deepwater Horizon settlement – dies under mysterious circumstances, small-town whispers erupt into a full-blown federal investigation. 

The two-hour Oxygen special, Southern Fried Lies, unpacks the shocking case involving Matt’s unexpected death, a questionable will, and Donna Herring, Camden's self-proclaimed mayor, proud pageant mom, and alleged mastermind behind a tangled web of deception. 

When Matt’s fortune is left almost entirely to Donna’s daughter, Alex, and not to his own teenage son, red flags are raised. Soon after, it’s revealed that the will was forged. That discovery is just the beginning. 

What makes this case so twisted?

What starts as suspected white-collar fraud quickly spirals into something darker. As investigators dig deeper, they uncover a secret mistress, additional unexplained deaths, and the possibility that Matt’s death wasn’t just unfortunate – it was orchestrated. 

Donna Herring has plenty to say about the case – and so do the people closest to it. The special features include interviews with Matt’s son Jordan, the town coroner, the lead FBI agent, and others who witnessed the fallout firsthand. 

With small-town secrets piling up and loyalties tested, Southern Fried Lies explores how greed, gossip, and ambition can turn deadly.
