In this gripping episode Laura and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by Dr. Ann Burgess  and defense attorney Karen Conti to take a powerful and in-depth look at the complex layers of coercive control, grooming tactics, the links between these patterns and trafficking, and unpack likely defense strategies in the case against Sean “Diddy” Comb to silence victims, and the trial’s centerpiece - Cassie’s lawsuit and the now-viral hotel video.

This isn’t about celebrity scandal—this is about sharing the knowledge to recognise the red flags and protect those at risk, shining a light on systemic abuse, the realities of celebrity, power, control and the urgent need for survivor-informed justice and coercive control laws.

You are NOT alone—these patterns are real, and together, we can make sure NONE of us ever have to suffer in silence again.
