* ''Series/TheBrothers'': Until the beginning of the show, Jennifer had told her daughter Barbara that she was married to Barbara's father, a man who died before she was born. She'd actually been having a long-term affair with her married boss, Robert, and decided she couldn't have her daughter know about him in order to preserve her job and her boss's marriage. When he dies, she reveals the truth to Barbara.

* One comic from ''Once Upon a Trope'' from ''Mythcreants'' gives an incredibly justified one, albeit PlayedForLaughs. A little girl asks a servant about her parents, who tells her that her father was very noble and her mother was very beautiful. Cue portraits of the ObviouslyEvil parents, with the servant desperately coming up with some flimsy excuses for some of the "oddities" within the pictures. (The red stuff around the mother is spilled tomato juice, and the father's black, angular clothes are from a costume party.)

* ''Series/{{Willow|2022}}'': Jade had been told her whole family was killed by the Bone Reavers except for her. It turns out she's actually General Kael's biological daughter and a Bone Reaver by birth, with a long-lost older half-sister she never knew. She was raised to hate the Bone Reavers as a result of this, and thus (unknowingly) her only living family.
