    What Kept Diddy's Crew Silent For So Many Years?

    What happens when power, money, and silence collide? In the case of Sean "Diddy" Combs, the alleged crimes paint a picture of an industry that looked the other way—whether out of fear, self-preservation, or willful ignorance. How did so many people in his orbit, from music executives to fellow celebrities, fail to see—or at least acknowledge—what was happening? Were they protecting their own interests, or did they simply lack the integrity to speak out? Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to break down the psychology of enablers in high-profile abuse cases. From celebrity culture to fear-driven silence, we unpack why people ignored the red flags and how power continues to shield those at the top. And the real question—now that the floodgates are opening, will anyone finally speak up, or will silence win again? #Diddy #TrueCrime #CelebrityScandal #MusicIndustry #PowerAndAbuse #PsychologyOfEnablers #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    Will New Diddy Charges Enable Bigger Names To Speak Out Against Diddy?

    Why do people stay in toxic environments when they could just walk away? Is it the allure of power, money, or celebrity status? In this episode, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to break down the psychology of those who willingly orbit alleged abusers—knowing full well that something isn’t right but sticking around anyway. From bystanders who enabled disturbing behavior to those now claiming moral outrage, the conversation digs into the uncomfortable truth about how people rationalize the absurd. Is it fear? Desensitization? Or were some of them complicit all along? And in a world where wealth and influence can blur ethical lines, are we just rewarding the worst behavior? #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #PsychologyOfEvil #DarkTruths #Complicity #CelebrityCulture #HumanBehavior Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

    DNA IGG Against Kohberger Is SOLID, But Did Police Legally Obtain It?

    Is your DNA data helping to catch killers—or is it a privacy nightmare waiting to happen? With investigative genetic genealogy cracking cold cases and leading to alleged suspects like Bryan Kohberger and the Golden State Killer, the moral and ethical debates are heating up. Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins the conversation to explore the psychological impact of using personal genetic data in criminal investigations. Should consent be a requirement, or is the pursuit of justice more important than privacy? What happens when families discover their DNA helped nab an alleged murderer? And where do we draw the line—should this tech be reserved for violent crimes, or will we be solving parking violations with a cheek swab next? #TrueCrime #GeneticGenealogy #BryanKohberger #PrivacyDebate #EthicalDilemmas #ColdCaseBreakthrough #CrimeSolvingTech Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

  • Injustice isn’t just a possibility—it’s a reality. Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth dives deep into the shocking failures of the investigation into the brutal murders of Abby Williams and Liberty German. Hosted by Tony Brueski, this podcast unpacks the glaring inconsistencies, the ignored evidence, and the disturbing judicial process that led to the conviction of a man who may very well be innocent. Why did investigators shift focus away from Ron Logan, the man whose property was the crime scene? Why was Richard Allen, with no direct physical evidence linking him to the crime, put on trial in what many are calling a sham? And how did law enforcement and prosecutors seemingly manipulate the narrative to fit a conclusion they needed rather than the truth? We explore every angle, every lead that was dismissed, and every questionable move made by those in charge. Featuring exclusive interviews, expert analysis, and in-depth reporting, Delphi Murders: Richard Allen & The Search For The Truth is dedicated to uncovering what really happened—and holding those responsible accountable. If you believe in justice, if you believe in truth, then you need to listen.
