Inside the Signal chat disaster—and how to hold your ground when someone blames you to save themselves.

When denial, deflection, and blame collide

Hey you—

This week’s topic is a juicy one.
And honestly? Fine for a media story, but a bit of a mess to unravel.

Did you get the change to listen to my podcast this week?

You can listen to ‘Inside the Messaging Meltdown of the Signal Chat: From Denial to Damage Control?’ You can listen to it here on Spotify👇

or watch the video on YouTube.

I dug hard into the wild comms unraveling that followed the Signal chat leak—yes, still a news story, involving Trump officials, military plans, and a whole lot of public scrambling. It’s a perfect case study in what not to do when crisis hits:

❌ Deny until caught.

❌ Blame someone else.

❌ Hope it fades before the next news cycle. (As you know, it didn’t.)

But crisis doesn't work like that. And neither does trust.

This episode was personal. I detest blame-shifting as a tactic to get out of a mess, particularly when you’ve hurt someone.
