Even after years of recordings, evidence, and convictions — the Adelsons still say it’s all a lie.
Why? Because when your identity is built on control, truth becomes negotiable.
In this episode, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and behavioral expert Robin Dreeke examine how cognitive dissonance, self-justification, and moral compartmentalization allowed the Adelsons to maintain their innocence narrative long after it collapsed. Donna’s defiance, Harvey’s “controlled rage,” and their total lack of empathy aren’t just arrogance — they’re survival mechanisms for people whose reality depends on never being wrong.
Robin breaks down how deception fatigue, emotional rigidity, and “narrative dominance” turn ordinary denial into a pathology — one that consumes entire families.
This isn’t just a breakdown of a courtroom moment. It’s a masterclass in how smart people convince themselves of the impossible.
