Summary

Karen Read Said 'I Hit Him' – But What Does That Really Mean?
When a Boston cop ends up dead after a party, the official story says his girlfriend, Karen Read, drunkenly backed over him. But is that really what happened? Or is this a case of gaslighting, memory gaps, and a powerful old boys' club protecting its own? In this episode, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins us to dissect the chaotic first days of Read’s retrial. From conflicting confessions and damning Dateline interviews to speculation that she’s been manipulated into rewriting her own memories, the truth feels more elusive than ever. Is Karen Read a killer, or a scapegoat in a web of law enforcement coverups and social media hysteria? This isn’t just about what happened that night—it’s about who controls the narrative when public opinion becomes weaponized.

manipulation. Shavon, when you look at this case, do you see the mind of a woman who might have blacked out

and made a fatal mistake or the psyche of someone gaslit into believing she didn't do something

1:20.6

that maybe she did do?

1:23.7

Yeah, it's one of those cases that is so convoluted and confusing.
