Podcast Episode Details

 When the judge read out Donna Adelson’s sentence, the courtroom expected silence — accountability, maybe even remorse. Instead, it became a masterclass in denial. Eye-rolls, muttered words, an almost theatrical refusal to accept reality. To the untrained eye, it looked like arrogance. But as former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke explains, it was something deeper: the collapse of control.
In this powerful breakdown, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Robin dissect the psychological mechanics behind Donna’s unraveling — from her desperate body language to the language of moral blindness. Why do some people fight reality even as it’s closing in around them? What happens inside the mind of a narcissistic manipulator when the truth can no longer be managed or spun?
This episode doesn’t just revisit the sentencing — it rewrites how we understand it. From “controlled rage” to “loss of narrative dominance,” Robin walks us through the science of what we all witnessed: the moment the façade finally broke.
