Episode Details

San Diego County’s behavioral health department just underwent a major shake-up after firing director Nadia Privara amid allegations of racism and sexism—claims the county says were substantiated following a lawsuit that demanded transparency. The controversy began when Voice of San Diego sued for access to misconduct records, leading to a judge’s order and swift leadership changes. A former employee reportedly made offensive remarks during a training session, allegedly directed at her mother—though details remain murky. Chief Administrative Officer Ebony Shelton stressed the county’s commitment to accountability and higher standards, while Jennifer Bransford-Koons steps in as interim director. This move underscores the county’s push to rebuild public trust through transparency and action.
