Twenty Years of Jesse Ridgway Faking Crises and It’s Only Getting Worse
About this episode
The episode explores the manipulative tactics of Jesse Ridgway over two decades, featuring insights from psychotherapist Shavaun Scott.
Staged family violence that fooled a thousand people into calling the police. A creator platform that burned through a million users and got sold as an NFT. And now a pregnancy announcement involving a Down syndrome diagnosis that may or may not be real, from a man who has built his entire career on making people believe things that never happened. Jesse Ridgway has been escalating for twenty years and nothing in the ecosystem around him — not the media, not the audience, not the people in his life — is slowing him down. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins for a three-part conversation that goes where nobody else in media is willing to go. The brain behind the behavior. The machine that feeds it. And the audience that guarantees it never stops. If Jesse Ridgway is a case study, this is the clinical examination his record has been asking for.
