Content warning: This episode discusses sexual assault, trauma, and abuse.
This week on Barely Famous, Kail speaks with psychologist and former model Kaja Sokola, one of the first women to publicly come forward against Harvey Weinstein. At just 16, Kaja endured assault while navigating the modeling industry alone in NYC. Now, she shares her journey of survival, healing, and advocacy.
Kaja opens up about the trauma, her battle with eating disorders, family betrayal during the trial and how becoming a mother gave her the strength to speak out. Her unique perspective as both a survivor and a psychologist offers powerful insight into abuse, resilience, and the long road to recovery.
