Why Karen Read’s Words to O’Keefe’s Kids Are Psychologically Alarming

Karen Read didn’t just allegedly leave John O’Keefe in the snow. According to testimony and records, she also ranted to his orphaned niece and nephew—kids he was raising—calling him a “f-ing pervert,” a “f-ing loser,” and accusing him of cheating… all because someone mentioned a woman’s name as a navigation marker.

In this powerful conversation, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to discuss what these moments reveal about Karen Read’s emotional control, potential narcissistic tendencies, and the trauma such behavior may cause to children.

What does this say about Karen Read’s mental state? Why is this moment so pivotal in the trial? And how might jurors interpret this mix of rage, projection, and cruelty?

You won’t want to miss this mental health deep dive into one of the most emotionally volatile true crime cases we’ve covered.
