In this episode we dig into the psychology of virtuous victimhood and how it plays out in both everyday life and celebrity culture. We start with an AITA story and move into examples from Britney Spears, Jussie Smollett, Chappell Roan and Justin Bieber. We talk about what virtuous victimhood actually is, why some people might lean into it and how these narratives shape the way we see responsibility, fame and social media.
