Betty’s Most Controversial Mad Men Story Was Set Up Much Earlier Than You Think

There are a few controversies surrounding the former Mrs. Draper, but one particular Betty storyline was set up all the way back in Mad Menseason 1. When we first meet Betty, she is portrayed as the picture-perfect model of a 1960s housewife. The initial fan perception of Betty was that she was a terrible mother, particularly to Sally. However, while she can be cold, the character has since been reevaluated, and there are many sad truths about Betty in Mad Men.
