About this episode
Summary: This week, Karen, Steph, and Manny react to Sean Combs: The Reckoning — the explosive 50 Cent-produced Netflix documentary on Diddy's rise to fame and the decades of alleged abuse that flew under the radar. The hosts unpack Bad Boy Records' predatory contracts, how Diddy used tragedy to elevate his career, and the generational cycles of abuse surrounding his inner circle. Plus: Madam Morrible gets crowned Karen of the Week after a Wicked: For Good watch party, and Christopher Columbus gets put on trial in a 9th grade classroom.
⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses violence and sexual assault.
