Ep 257: Diddy Trial: When Fear Is Present, Consent Is Not, Part 5

Week 3 of Sean “Diddy” Combs trial and Laura and Lisa Bilyeu dive into the powerful testimony of Capricorn Clark, who described the fear, threats, and intimidation she witnessed and experienced including the threat to Kid Cudi, and Diddy’s calculated use of staff to control and retrieve Cassie. Laura explains the DASH Risk Assessment Model and how it is used to decode coercive control, stalking behaviors and credible threats to harm and/or kill. Dr. Nadine Macaluso unpacks the psychological aftermath of coercive control and the devastating impact of trauma bonds. Laura debunks Stockholm Syndrome, how women’s trauma and survival responses are different to men’s as well as what happens when violence is normalized and abuse becomes routine. Laura and Dr. Nadine bring clarity to how abuser’s use shame, fear, and manipulation to entrap victims. They analyze the courtroom testimony from Deonte Nash and “Mia,” as well as one of the most common things abuser’s say after a violent attack and how grooming and boundary erosion sets the stage for physical and sexual abuse. Finally, Laura and Lisa address the defense’s request for a mistrial and the implications of that move, while sharing resources to better understand coercive control and risk.
