About this episode
"She Controlled Everything” — Robert Adelson DESTROYS His Mother in Court

The Donna Adelson trial just delivered its most brutal moment yet. Her eldest son, Robert Adelson, took the stand and tore through the carefully crafted image of his mother. His testimony wasn’t cautious, it wasn’t hesitant — it was devastating.

Robert described Donna as controlling, domineering, the person who always “ran the show.” Unlike Wendy, who hesitated and leaned on “I don’t remember,” Robert offered blunt truths that ripped the curtain off the Adelson family dynamic.

Psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott joins Tony Brueski to break down why Robert finally spoke with such brutal honesty — and why it may be the testimony that seals his mother’s fate. Was this the moment the jury stopped seeing Donna as a grandmother and started seeing her as the architect of control?

This is the testimony everyone’s talking about. And it may go down as the most damaging blow against Donna Adelson yet.
