We’ve all admired public figures, coaches, and leaders...until they show us a side we never expected. Think Snoop, Nelly, Bill Cosby, Diddy… and let’s not forget Chrisette Michele. Why do some get a pass while others are canceled? When the people we respect don’t live up to their image, what does it say about celebrity culture, accountability, and the double standards that exist, especially between Black men and Black women?
In this episode of The Real Connect podcast, we’re getting into uncomfortable conversations about how influence is built, why some fall harder than others, and what it all says about the way we view power, race, and redemption.
Key Takeaways:
1. Why Some Get a Pass & Others Don’t? What determines who gets canceled, who gets forgiven, and who gets to continue their career untouched?
2. The double standard when it comes to Black women and Black men facing public backlash.
3. Separating the art from the artist. Should we still support the work of public figures after they’ve been exposed?
