In this episode, we sit down with Sarma Melngailis \u2013 yes, Bad Vegan Sarma \u2013 to get the real story behind the headlines. She\u2019s back for her third culty chat, this time with the exclusive on her brand-new memoir The Girl with the Duck Tattoo (don\u2019t worry, we ask her about the title). Sarma dives into the psychological warfare that turned her life upside down: coercive control, gaslighting, and a manipulative Mr. Fox who left her broke, arrested, and widely misunderstood. She opens up about the pain (and relief) of telling it all, what the Netflix doc twisted, and why she\u2019s reclaiming her narrative \u2013 duck tattoo and all. This one\u2019s raw, redemptive, and a stark reminder: not every headline villain is the real bad guy.  For more on Sarma, you can find her on Instagram @sarmamelngailis, on her website sarmaraw.com, or on Patreon at patreon.com\/sarmasarma.
