Summary

When wellness, power, and controversy collide: Loni Coombs sits down with OneTaste founder Nicole Daedone

Dr. Phil and Merit TV's Loni Coombs are pulling back the curtain on a story that shocked the nation and ignited fierce debate. Once celebrated by celebrities and wellness gurus, Nicole Daedone’s OneTaste promised life-changing empowerment through “orgasmic meditation”—but was it truly a path to healing, or something much darker? In this exclusive interview, Loni Coombs sits down with Daedone and her high-profile attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, to ask the tough questions. With Daedone facing serious federal charges and a possible 20-year prison sentence, we dive into the heart of the controversy: is OneTaste a misunderstood revolution in women’s wellness, or a cautionary tale of power, sex, and exploitation?
