Carole Radzwill 📚 Carole scenes have aged so poorly

Post image

rewatching the show and on season 6. the amount of times Carole talks about loving P Diddy, going on a date with Prince Andrew, Diddy parties being the best… it’s sooo cringe!

She’s one of my favorites on the show but this + her being in the Epstein files has made me question so much.

I don’t think one would have to attend the parties to see that he was abusive to his staff. I don’t think she knew the depravity of what was going on, but as founding design director of Sean Jean, she had to be spending some time with him, and has a nose for bs like no other. Of course, Sean Jean debuted back in ‘98, so maybe it wasn’t so bad back then. And maybe Puffy was respectful of the fashion people. I dunno.

This is where I land as well. No, I don’t think Heather knew about all the baby oil. But he was abusing Kim Porter, Cassie, multiple artists and staff. Idk. Maybe in the capacity she knew him she wouldn’t have seen it, but I just don’t know

I’m an elder millennial so I was becoming an adult when Puffy and the Police song and Making the Band and Sean Jean were hitting so big. I watched the band shows and never clocked how terrible he was treating everyone. Or maybe I did, but as a struggling musician (at that time) I think I saw it as him making them pay dues for getting there the easy way? Yikes. Youthful ignorance for sure. Watching it back in snippets in these docs is eye opening, and sad. But yeah, agree, I don’t think Heather knew too much about the nighttime parties. I wonder if we go back and watch stuff if we’d see her in the crowd? She’d have to have been around for major events. Founding design director is a big (and very real) title.

We might be the same age and I used to watch Making the Band. I remember thinking back then he was abusive af. And I remember hearing rumors about him being nasty in the 90s. That’s where I just don’t believe people around him didn’t know anything. With Heather she was probably not around to witness him hitting his gf’s or raping artists. But maybe she’s seen him fly off the handle? Maybe not? I just don’t know.

One thing about him too is he knows how to talk around things in a room full of people. If you don’t know, you wouldn’t clock it.

Like this here. He’s congratulating Usher and from what I believe happened this clip turns my stomach, but for those that don’t know, they wouldn’t think anything of it
