Jesse Ridgway Is Never Going to Stop and the Audience Is the Reason Why

Every view validates the behavior. Every click fuels the compulsion. Every headline — including the outraged ones, including the ones calling him a fraud — gives Jesse Ridgway’s brain exactly what it’s looking for. He has spent twenty years fabricating crises for attention and every year the stunts get darker because the brain builds a tolerance. Staged family violence. A failed platform. Now a pregnancy announcement that may be the biggest hoax of his career.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins for a three-part investigation. She examines what the clinical framework of Munchausen by Internet reveals about Jesse’s pattern, whether anyone in his life can compete with what four million strangers provide, why the audience is chemically addicted to being outraged by him, and whether the people clicking are co-dependent in a cycle that guarantees the next stunt will be worse than this one.
