JANA KRAMER EXECUTIVE PRODUCES AND STARS ALONG WITH AUSTIN NICHOLS IN "GASLIT BY MY HUSBAND: THE MORGAN METZER STORY" BASED ON A TRUE STORY NEW MOVIE FOLLOWS METZER WHO SURVIVED A BRUTAL ATTACK STAGED BY HER EX-HUSBAND

Kramer's Daughter Jolie Rae Caussin Also Stars

LOS ANGELES, CA (MARCH 27, 2024) - Lifetime announces the greenlight and casting of Jana Kramer (A Cowboy Christmas Romance, One Tree Hill) and Austin Nichols (Minx, One Tree Hill) in the new original movie, Gaslit By My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story, based on a true story. Kramer executive produces and stars as Morgan Metzer who was "gaslighted" by her abusive husband Rodney for years, culminating with Morgan being brutally attack by a masked man, only to discover it was Rodney all along. Kramer's real-life daughter Jolie Rae Caussin also stars as her onscreen daughter, Amelia. The thriller will film this month and will debut as part of Lifetime's summer Ripped from the Headlines slate.

Kramer, who has openly spoken about domestic abuse, will film a new a PSA for Lifetime's Stop Violence Against Women initiative to align with the subject matter of this movie.

Gaslit By My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story is based on a true story and follows Morgan (Kramer) and Rodney Metzer (Nichols) who were childhood sweethearts and married by the time Morgan was just 21 years old. The couple loses their first child shortly after birth but are overjoyed when they have twins a year later. Tensions began to rise when Rodney loses his job and goes into debt. Rodney blames their fights on Morgan's drinking - even if she'd only had one - and convinces Morgan that she pushed him down the stairs in a blackout rage. The couple finally separates, and Morgan's life begins to turn around, until Rodney gets diagnosed with cancer. Not long after, a masked intruder breaks into Morgan's home and assaults her. Rodney shows up only minutes after the intruder is gone; when authorities question him, Rodney's story doesn't seem to be adding up. Does Rodney really have cancer and is he the hero that he claims to be, or has he been gaslighting Morgan for decades? J. Barrett Cooper, Denise Dal Vera and Maximo Sherman also star.

Gaslit By My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story is produced by Allegheny Image Factory for Lifetime. Jeffrey Tinnell produces and Robert Tinnell, Whitney White, Maritte Go and Jana Kramer serve as executive producers. The film is written by Benjamin Anderson and Lee Gabiana directs.
