Donna & Wendi Adelson EXPOSED, What Turned Wendi AGAINST Donna!

The Adelson family once projected strength, privilege, and unity. Now, piece by piece, it’s collapsing in public view.

In this combined episode, we cover two seismic developments in the Donna Adelson trial. First: the courtroom showdown where Wendi Adelson refused to testify for her mother. Her lawyers fought back against a defense subpoena, and the judge quashed it. That refusal marks a dramatic fracture in family loyalty. Wendi is choosing survival over solidarity, while her brother Charlie — already convicted — is still clinging to his mother’s defense.

Then: Donna herself. Unlike most defendants, she’s insisting on taking the stand. Against the advice of her legal team, she’s confident she can sway the jury. But will that confidence read as arrogance? Or worse, denial?

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me to analyze both sides of this unraveling family saga:

• Why Wendi’s silence may speak louder than Charlie’s loyalty.

•

•

• How Donna’s need for control, mixed with possible age-related decline, could push her to self-destruct on the stand.

•

•

• What this trial means for the next generation — Dan Markel’s teenage sons — who are now old enough to understand the full weight of their family’s tragic legacy.

•

•

This isn’t just a trial update. It’s a psychological deep dive into denial, narcissism, and survival inside a family that’s become synonymous with true crime.
