This week on Olay & Friends, we get into why people keep defending Diddy — and why so much of that defense is rooted in misogyny and homophobia. We break down how the dismissal of women’s accusations, the erasure of queer victims, and the culture of celebrity worship all work together to protect powerful men. We talk patterns, denial, and why accountability still feels optional for someone with this much smoke around him.
