This week on Off-Script, Celene Beth welcomes back Lauren Skae to dive into the chaotic trio of Billy Jensen, Armie Hammer, and Jessica Reed Kraus—three public figures clinging to relevance by distorting truth and avoiding accountability.
In a raw moment, Celene shares the devastation of discovering that her abuser, disgraced true crime figure Billy Jensen, was given a platform by Armie Hammer. What followed wasn’t a real conversation. It was a staged podcast stunt. Survivors were mocked and retraumatized while Jensen deflected and Hammer played along.
Then there is Jessica Reed Kraus, the influencer turned “investigator” recently called out in Vanity Fair for spreading misinformation and inflating her credentials. With aestheticized narratives and thinly veiled misogyny, she continues to uphold systems that protect abusers instead of challenging them.
