A c*ck thirsty YES man. What a reliable source 🤣 how about someone who chose Scientology at a high point. Don’t ever hear those stories. Ironic. Sad when Tom Cruise is your idea of a good partner or someone to idolize. This woman is nuts. Call the snake oil salesmen…we’ve got a village idiot ready to buy 🤣🤣🤣 She sure does have an excuse for everything 🚩 Tom Cruise is only as high up in Scientology as he is because he’s famous and hands over heaps of money because he’s on a power trip. She speaks about Scientology like it’s a cure all. Talk about a placebo effect. Maybe your life is better because you’re busy and motivated. Doesn’t take religion for that. Just means you lack drive. How embarrassing at her age that she’s actually going on record saying all this bs. Shame on her. There’s a fool born every minute. Abusers seek out the weak. She sounds like a great target. She’s probably only doing this because she knows Scientology is controversial and she wants clout from it. Sad. It’s ironic how she’s trying so hard to push him into Scientology, I’m sure that’s how everyone in Scientology acts..pushy. She thinks this and she thinks that WELL opinions are like ***holes. She says she hasn’t “seen”anything almost like that makes what victims say FALSE. Shame on her! Victim blamer 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩not at all a good person. They don’t control you or do bad things to you? Why would they do that when you’re bringing in business and money? Hmm is it cuz you bring in money and clout ?

I couldn't finish the episode, the lady is talking a mile an hour, interrupts all the time, doesn't bring any arguments, only says she loves it. If this is improvement in her life, I can imagine how even more insufferable she used to be. I hope she doesn't drive the same streets as me. Thank you, Andrew, for your tremendous patience in dealing with this squirrel on crack.

Who are these jerks saying that the war in Ukraine doesn't matter? Assange is being tortured psychologically, which is sad, but have they seen pictures of civilians and their kids being tortured by russians in Ukraine? I have no words for these dumbos. Having said that , I appreciate how you, Andrew, gently put them down and redirected. Thank you!

Disgusting. He testified because he thought he loved this man. He also thought this man loved him. That’s what happens with toxic relationships and with sexual abuse. There’s a million reasons why he testified in the defense. This woman can’t even say which way she leans. She’s not “credible” herself. Why a joke. She needs to get educated. She clearly has no experience with sexual abuse victims and she’s just further pushing this negative stigma.

So eager to infantalize an adult man. Boo-who his family was religious and crazy. We know that. So just make this director a scapegoat. I guess MJ lacked common sense. Just because he didn’t abuse one child doesn’t mean he didn’t have the ability to abuse another. Are you kidding me ? this woman spews this bs like it’s a fact. Is she all knowing ? What a moron. Trials and judges don’t mean anything. People get away with things. Our justice system is horrid. You wanna try to argue and call people “grifters”. It’s okay. Karma got him in the end.

The fact that this is even welcomed on your show is so gross to me. No man, let alone MEN who are married and straight are going to come out and ace public scrutiny to make a FALSE claim about sexual grooming/abuse. Just truly heartless and unbelievable. What they talk about is embarrassing and dehumanizing. People don’t just make that up. Especially with how negatively it is stigmatized among men to come forward and speak about sexual abuse and open up about such painful things. Just because you don’t wanna admit your fav pop star is a pervert and a child abuser. What rational adult, let alone man, is going to have private events and sleepovers with young children? That doesn’t seem suspicious at all? He sure has the money and power to pay off people and cover things up. Ridiculous to call it a conspiracy. Way to spit in the victim(S) face

Enjoyed the show but need to point out the 'weird thing' Michael believes, which is that a small % of people are born neither male or female. Intersex conditions are in fact sex specific. Every person with a DSD (disorder of sexual development) is either male or female, not neither or both or another sex entirely. Please correct this misinformation on your podcast.

The narcissist is exhausting. His whole lifestyle sounds exhausting. I'd hate to be in his head.
