What a Creep
Season 29, Episode 5
“The Cotton Club Murders”

This week’s episode covers the 1983 murder of Roy Radin, a theatrical producer with ties to a planned film called The Cotton Club. At the time, director Francis Ford Coppola and producer Robert Evans were developing the film, a period crime drama loosely inspired by the original club. Radin was found murdered execution-style in a remote canyon in California. The killing was eventually tied to a tangled web involving cocaine-fueled ambition, mob connections, and a bitter feud over money tied to the movie’s production. One of the key figures implicated was Karen Greenberger, a drug-addled femme fatale with ties to organized crime.

Trigger Warnings: Murder and sexual assault.

What a Creep
Season 29, Episode 4
William Randolph Hearst

William Randolph Hearst was a newspaper publisher, media mogul, and politician. He all but created yellow journalism (also known as tabloid journalism), focusing on sensationalism over facts to sell more newspapers. He made the blueprint for sensationalized, politicized, and profit-driven media. He owned 28 major newspapers, 18 magazines, radio stations, and film companies. 
Hearst was one of the first media moguls to become a public figure. Now we have Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, and others who are part of the news and control it. In other words, we probably wouldn’t have Fox News without Hearst. Gee, thanks, you creep.

Season 29, Episode 3
Brian Buckmire (ABC News Legal Contributor)
Host of Bad Rap: The Case Against Diddy

Sean "Diddy" Combs was among hip-hop's most influential entertainers and entrepreneurs for decades. But Diddy’s star began to implode when a video came out showing the music mogul assaulting his then-girlfriend. There had long been whispers about Diddy's aggression. But critics say his influence and relevance kept the rumors quiet until now. A raft of new lawsuits detail shocking allegations of sexual abuse and manipulation orchestrated in so-called "freak offs" -- sex parties Diddy allegedly ordered, videotaped, and controlled.

Diddy now faces federal charges that include sex trafficking. He has denied all wrongdoing and said all encounters were consensual. A new podcast from 20/20 and ABC Audio traces how whispers of abuse came to light and led to Diddy’s downfall. ABC News legal contributor Brian Buckmire takes listeners inside the rise and fall of Diddy, the allegations and his defense in a six-part weekly narrative series launching March 25, and returning with twice weekly real-time updates once the trial slated for May gets underway. Bad Rap: The Case Against Diddy, 

Trigger warning: Sexual assault and sex trafficking.

Season 29, Episode 2
Stephen Collins & Jeffrey Jones (Replay ep!)

Stephen Collins is best known for his role on the wholesome WB drama series 7th Heaven, which aired from 1996 to 2007. Jeffrey Jones is likely most recognized for portraying the cartoonish principal in Ferris Bueller's Day Off and the clueless dad in Beetlejuice. The Max show "Hollywood Demons" includes an entire episode discussing Collins's disturbing behavior, featuring testimonies from one of his victims. So we thought replaying this episode while Sonia goes on a well-deserved vacation would be good. Stephen Collins & Jeffrey Jones- What Creeps!

Trigger warning: Child molestation and digital child sexual assault
