Kanye West is making headlines...again. The controversial rapper - who now goes by Ye - allegedly got physical late Tuesday night at the infamous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. According to police, Ye slugged an unidentified man in the face after he “pushed” and “grabbed” Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori. But a rep for the “Flashing Lights” rapper says it was more than just pushing and grabbing - it was more like full-on physical and sexual assault. This isn’t the first time Ye’s been accused of physical violence, but with those other incidents, he didn’t face any criminal charges. But will he this time?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On February 1st, 2004, Janet Jackson’s right breast was exposed to a live audience of over 144 million at the Super Bowl — for 9/16ths of a second. What should have been a fleeting moment of professional embarrassment became a national scandal. It was a story that had everything: a titillating costume change gone wrong, a powerful black woman who refused to grovel, and a squeaky-clean, young white upstart who was only too happy to align himself with power. Racism, sexism and misogyny collided to turn one of the greatest entertainers in the world into nothing more than a political scapegoat. In the first episode of our special two-part series, we'll tell you the story of how one woman found a way to achieve the American dream — then had it all snatched away in an instant.Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Patty Hearst would eventually put the SLA in her rearview mirror; she’d go on to have two kids and act in a string of John Waters films. But through the years, the debate has continued: was Patty really brainwashed, or did she voluntarily join the SLA? To help answer this question, Brooke and Aricia are joined by author and social scientist Alexandra Stein. Alexandra studies the psychological tactics cult leaders use to brainwash their subjects. She also has first hand experience with cults, having survived a decade in one. Alexandra will explain why it’s so hard to leave a cult and what can help people break free.To learn more about her story, check out Alexandra’s memoir: http://www.alexandrastein.com/inside-out-a-memoir-of-entering-and-breaking-out-of-a-minneapolis-political-cult.htmlAnd her latest book, Terror, Love and Brainwashing:https://www.routledge.com/Terror--Love-and-Brain-washing-Attachment-in-Cults-and-Totalitarian/Stein/p/book/9780367467715?utm_source=individuals&utm_medium=shared_link&utm_campaign=B012494_dm1_1au_1aj_d741Listen ad free with Wondery+.

Now imagine that, ten weeks later, she finally reemerges – waving a gun and robbing a bank alongside the people who kidnapped her.It sounds too far-fetched to be true, but a version of this story really did happen. Back in 1974, left-wing terrorists abducted nineteen-year-old heiress Patty Hearst, the granddaughter of media tycoon William Randolph Hearst. And two months later, Patty publicly joined their cause.But was Patty a participant or a victim?
