Karen Read’s ‘Pervert’ Rant and Screaming Fits: A Therapist’s Perspective

Karen Read’s defense is unraveling—not because of what others are saying, but because of what she keeps saying.
In this episode, renowned psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to examine how Karen Read’s own words—her rants about John O’Keefe being a “f-ing pervert,” her bizarre meltdown over the name “Kathy,” and her attacks on the very children John raised—are doing more damage than any witness ever could.
Shavaun brings a clinical lens to this emotional spiral, explaining why Read’s behavior may indicate narcissistic rage, disordered attachment, or a loss of emotional control under pressure. We explore how these traits can present in high-stakes legal settings, and how they’re often dismissed—until they show up on the record.
When your words become your worst evidence, psychology matters more than ever.
