What really happened that night—was it a tragic accident or something far more calculated? Karen Read's shifting stories and foggy memories make it hard to pin down the truth. One minute she’s unsure if she even hit him, the next she’s got vivid recollections involving loud U2 music and emotional play-by-plays. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to dig into the inconsistencies and psychological clues that may reveal what’s really going on in her mind.

We’re talking memory blackouts, the bizarre Dateline clip, and whether someone can genuinely convince themselves of a false reality. And what’s the deal with her relationship with John O’Keefe? Why do empathetic people seem to end up with partners who bulldoze holidays and flip out over innocent conversations?

Throw in booze, alleged toxic dynamics, and potential narcissistic traits (we’re not diagnosing, just observing), and you’ve got a tangled mess that keeps getting weirder. Is Karen a victim of her own mind—or does she know more than she lets on?

What other memories might surface—and will any of them actually lead to the truth?
