Summary

today we take a deep dive into the darkest allegations surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs, as the prosecution nears its end. I’m joined by criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards and Sarah Edmondson—whose experiences inside NXIVM give us absolutely raw, firsthand insight into coercive control, manipulation, and survival. Together, we break down the blueprint of racketeering, sex trafficking, forced labor, and how abusers weaponize power—all while tackling the media’s misunderstandings and society’s persistent victim-blaming. With chilling real-life parallels, behind-the-scenes analysis, vulnerable personal stories, and a critical look at high-profile defense tactics, this is a must-listen for anyone ready to fully understand the stakes of this groundbreaking case—and why real accountability matters.
