Ep 260: Diddy Trial: Keith Raniere, R Kelly - Inside the Blueprint for Charges Against Sean Combs, Part 6

Laura and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by Sarah Edmondson, NXIVM cult whistleblower, actor and author of Scarred. As the prosecution start to wrap their case, Laura, Lisa and Sarah highlight the important parrels and blueprint of the successful prosecutions of NXIVM boss Keith Raniere and R Kelly and discuss whether the legal standard of the charges against Combs have been met.
Sarah shares sharp insight into the mindset of victims and the slow line bending erosion of autonomy, drawing powerful comparisons between her experience in NXIVM and the behavior laid out in the charges against Combs. Laura breaks down the impact of victim blaming including Bill Maher’s disgraceful monologue blaming Cassie telling women to ‘just leave,’ as well as coercive control tactics used by perpetrators, including recruiting female lieutenants, to dominate not just intimate partners, but also employees, associates, and entire systems.
This episode goes beyond headlines — it asks harder questions about accountability, those who choose to look away and those who enable abusers and how people with power maintain control.
Listen now and share widely. Understanding coercive control isn’t just knowledge- it’s protection for you and those you know so you don’t get caught in the trap.
