Ep 793: Choose Your Hard with Linda Mitchell

This week on the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., host Linda Mitchell sits down with senior correspondent for Extra, Mona Khazar Abdi, for a powerful and timely discussion on one of the most explosive verdicts in entertainment history: the Diddy trial. In this special "Verdict Edition," Mona breaks down the key courtroom moments, the shocking evidence, and the cultural fallout surrounding the case. From coercive control and sex trafficking allegations to NDAs, blackmail, and decades of alleged abuse, Mona walks us through what this verdict means—not just for Diddy, but for the music industry, the justice system, and the broader conversation around power, fame, and accountability. This is a must-listen for anyone following the intersection of pop culture and real-world justice.

Together, they explore the resilience of the MAGA movement, the breakdown of trust in elite institutions, and what Trump’s political comeback means for America’s future. Whether you’re intrigued by modern political history or curious about the forces shaping the next chapter of the American story, this episode offers an unfiltered look through the eyes of one of the most influential Republican figures of our time.
