Summary

Shavaun Scott on Karen Read: Emotional Abuse? Narcissistic Rage? Let’s Talk

She heard the name Kathy—not an affair, not a betrayal—just a name used as a turn signal in conversation. And that, according to multiple sources, is all it took to allegedly trigger a rage spiral that ended with John O’Keefe left in the snow.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to unpack the psychological profile behind Karen Read’s volatile reactions, her fixation on perceived slights, and the disturbing statements she made in front of O’Keefe’s children. We dig into what it means when someone can’t emotionally regulate, and how unchecked rage can blur the lines between victim and aggressor.

From disordered thinking to psychological manipulation, this episode is a clinical breakdown of behavior that’s now front and center in a murder trial—and how jurors are likely to interpret it.

This is Hidden Killers with Tony Brewski.

0:03.2

Here now, Tony Brewski.

0:06.0

So let's go over to that next voicemail and her rage now going that way, not to I hit you,

0:14.5

but she's trying to rationalize something else took place here.

0:17.9

John, I'm here with your fucking kids.

0:20.7

Nobody knows what a funky the fucking pervert.

0:25.6

I'm here with your effing kids.

0:27.9

Nobody knows where you are, you effing pervert.

0:30.4

Nobody knows because nobody's been notified that nobody knows where he is.

0:33.6

The only person who doesn't know where he is is is her.

0:40.5

So, that being said, the fact that she jumps over to trying to rationalize this, trying to find some other thing that he's doing

0:47.4

rather than deal with what she just did to him. And again, you got a 0.27 blood alcohol level. You might be going in and out of

0:56.0

remembering what you have done. What's your take thus far as we're working through that?

1:02.6

Well, that's where you get into what is probably the interactional pattern and the

1:08.5

interactional style. And from the alcohol, she's not filtering.

1:14.2

She's not pausing to consider. Is this a reasonable assumption that he's out having sex with

1:20.3

someone right now and he's he's a pervert? You know, this is an old story that she has been telling herself probably for ages in this relationship.

1:33.7

Mm-hmm.

1:34.7

And very much projecting, too, because in reality, she's the one who's sending text messages to

1:42.2

his friend, inviting him over to have sex.

1:45.2

So naturally, John must be doing the same, right?

1:49.6

That's what seems to be going in her mind.
