"When Silence is Profitable"

What do the cases of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein reveal about power, silence, and cover-ups? In this episode, we break down how allegations of sexual and gender-based violence can circulate for years without consequence, how institutions conceal harm until they are forced to be accountable, and why such violence is publicly exposed only when silence is no longer profitable.

We also discuss the new Netflix documentary series executive-produced by 50 Cent about “Diddy,” its social media reception, and how the series shines a light on the mechanisms of complicity that allow exploitation to persist for several decades. For “The Truth in 10,” Olivia walks us through the top things she learned from this new documentary.
