This week on Intentionally DISTURBING—we’ve got a special treat: a crossover episode with The Tara Palmeri Show.

Ghislaine Maxwell sat down with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for days, spilling “her truth” about Jeffrey Epstein. But what was fact—and what was pure fiction?

In this jaw-dropping episode, Tara Palmeri and forensic psychologist Dr. Leslie Dobson dissect Maxwell’s testimony like never before. Tara—who’s spent over two years traveling the country with Epstein survivors—brings raw, first-hand insight into the case. Meanwhile, Dr. Dobson peels back Maxwell’s evasive answers, rehearsed lines, and subtle manipulations, exposing what she’s hiding…and who she might still be protecting.

From Maxwell’s carefully calculated courtroom performance to the lies buried in her words, this crossover episode uncovers the darker truths about one of Epstein’s most infamous allies.

🎙️ The tapes were exhausting—we did the work for you. Now, you just have to listen.
