In this episode, Dr. Leslie Dobson provides a candid commentary on the latest happenings in the entertainment world, blending humor with critical insights that resonate with many of us. Section 1: The Overwhelming Shift in Celebrity Landscape Dr. Leslie kicks off the podcast by reflecting on the rapid changes in celebrity news, which have left fans and followers spinning. "The amount of things that have changed... has made me want to kind of sit back and think through it," she notes, humorously justifying her whiskey pour as a coping mechanism. This sets the stage for a deep dive into the controversies surrounding celebrities today. Section 2: Celebrity Trials and Public Backlash From Kristen Bell to Sydney Sweeney, the podcast explores the backlash faced by celebrities for their comments and actions. Leslie highlights Kristen Bell's controversial anniversary post during Domestic Violence Month, where her husband jokingly stated, "I would never kill you even though most men kill their wives eventually." Despite the uproar, Bell has refused to apologize, raising questions about accountability in the public eye. Similarly, Sydney Sweeney faced accusations of being a white supremacist due to a jeans ad. Despite having the opportunity to clarify her stance, she chose silence, leading many to speculate on her political affiliations. Section 3: The Kardashian Legal Chronicles Turning to Kim Kardashian, Dr. Leslie critiques her latest legal show, noting its lack of substance and the absurdity of her on-screen antics. "It looks really f***ing trashy and stupid," she remarks, emphasizing the disparity between Kardashian's persona and the serious subject matter typically associated with legal dramas. Section 4: The Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni Case The podcast also delves into the ongoing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, dissecting the legal maneuvers and public narratives shaping this case. Dr. Leslie emphasizes the dubious tactics employed by Baldoni’s team, describing them as "conniving" and lacking in ethical standards. She questions the validity of their claims, hinting at a potential outcome that could leave Baldoni's supporters disappointed. Section 5: The Ignorance of Celebrity Commentators Dr. Leslie takes aim at media personalities like Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens, critiquing their dismissive remarks regarding serious issues like child abuse and trafficking. She passionately argues for the importance of understanding the complexities of trauma and the responsibility that comes with having a platform. Key Takeaways In this episode, Dr. Leslie Dobson offers listeners a mix of humor, insight, and critical analysis of the celebrity culture that shapes our media landscape. Key takeaways include the importance of accountability among public figures, the need for sensitivity in discussing serious topics, and a reminder that celebrity status does not equate to intelligence or moral superiority.

Introduction: In a recent episode of the Nightly Recap with Dr. Leslie, forensic psychologist Dr. Leslie Dobson delves into the complexities of celebrity trials and the importance of personal safety. With her candid and often humorous perspective, she sheds light on the intricacies of legal battles involving notable figures while emphasizing the need to trust our instincts in everyday situations.Understanding Personal Safety: Dr. Dobson opens the discussion with a provocative statement regarding the return of shopping carts, urging listeners to prioritize their safety over societal expectations. She highlights the dangers of ignoring our instincts, particularly in vulnerable situations. For instance, she suggests that when we choose to return a shopping cart out of fear of judgment, we may inadvertently expose ourselves to potential threats from predators who exploit such vulnerabilities. This counterintuitive advice challenges conventional social norms, encouraging individuals to listen to their gut feelings instead.Celebrity Trials: The podcast also addresses the upcoming legal proceedings involving actress Blake Lively, emphasizing the convoluted nature of celebrity trials. Dr. Dobson explains that while the public often focuses on the personalities involved, the legal complexities are far more intricate. Lively’s legal team is expected to present significant evidence to the judge, potentially eliminating the need for a jury trial. Dr. Dobson speculates on the outcome and shares her insights into the legal system’s theatrics, suggesting that juries can sometimes be swayed by the personalities rather than the facts.Diddy’s Legal Troubles: In a shift to another celebrity, Dr. Dobson discusses Sean Diddy Combs’s recent troubles in prison. She notes his reported rule-breaking behavior, including unauthorized phone calls and possible substance abuse. This commentary reflects on the challenges that high-profile individuals face behind bars, where their fame can complicate their experiences. Dr. Dobson warns that such behavior may stem from deep-seated issues that are unlikely to resolve with incarceration.Kris Jenner’s 70th Birthday Bash: The episode takes a lighter turn as Dr. Dobson recounts Kris Jenner’s extravagant 70th birthday party. Despite the glitz and glamour, she humorously points out the absurdity of billionaires calling the police over noise complaints, raising questions about privilege and entitlement. This anecdote serves as a reminder of the stark contrasts between the lifestyles of the rich and the everyday challenges faced by the average person.Conclusion: Dr. Leslie Dobson’s podcast episode offers a blend of humor and serious insights into personal safety and celebrity culture. Key takeaways include the importance of trusting one’s instincts in potentially dangerous situations, the complexities of celebrity trials, and the often absurd nature of fame. As listeners reflect on these topics, they are encouraged to prioritize their safety and remain aware of the dynamics at play in celebrity legal battles.

Young mom, Sara Ebersole, vanishes without a trace and her family is still searching for answers. On March 31, 2023, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office post a release about Sara’s disappearance. According to the post, Sara was captured on security footage on March 2, 2023, at around 10:00 p.m., in the area of the Circle K gas station located at 17980 N Highway 441 in Reddick, Florida. The release also states Sara willingly left the convenience store in a black pickup truck with two unknown males.
The then-26-year-old Ebersole was given a ride from the convenience store to a residence located off Highway 441 in Reddick. She was dropped off at the home with another individual. Sara spent a portion of that night with a male, who lived in one-half of a subdivided residence. The sheriff’s office states that at around 1:25 a.m. on March 3, 2023, that male known as James Robinson begins texting a man identified as Morman. In those messages, Robinson mentions Ebersole is “hanging out” at his home. During the conversation, Morman asks if Ebersole would be interested in meeting him and asked if he could come to Robinson’s residence. Robinson agreed, and Morman arrived shortly thereafter.
According to Sara's family, she goes missing on March 3, 2023, from Reddick, Florida and Sara's Gmail timeline was viewed and deleted and her iCloud location shows on and she's using YouTube until 240am. Someone also attempted to get on Sara's snapchat, at 1:47pm. Sara is not just missing; she is classified as an endangered person.
Marion County Sheriff’s Office is seeking any information from the public that may help find Sara.
If you have any information, please call Detective Ryan Stith at (352) 368-3542 or the Marion County Sheriff's Office non-emergency number of (352) 732-9111. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers of Marion County at (352) 368-STOP (7867) and reference 23-71 in your tip.

This week Leslie dives into the case of Johnny Deep versus Amber Heard, one of the most publicized and controversial trials of the last 10 years. Leslie dissects how this case turned into a psychological battlefield and help you understand, as a non-expert, what went on in that trial.
From dueling diagnoses to high-stakes testimony, she’ll break down how two of her colleagues, Dr. Shannon Curry and Dr. Dawn Hughes, came to vastly different conclusions about Amber Heard’s mental state—and why that matters more than you might think.
What she hopes you’ll come to understand over the course of this episode is that one of the results of publicizing a psychological assessment is that it turned Amber Heard’s mental illness into clickbait and diminished the complexities of an incredibly complicated legal battle with a powerful, wealthy, and famous ex-husband.
