Mercuri on Diddy & Conspiracy Theories: The Hollywood Reporter
Communication Studies Executive-in-Residence and PR expert Kevin Mercuri, who studies conspiracy theories, weighs in on the QAnon rumors circulating around the Sean Combs charges and trial.
These branches of the QAnon saga are based on some level of reality. Jeffrey Epstein obviously had done something egregiously wrong, but there’s a big hole there: where did he really get his money from? And who was on the plane, who’s in the little black book? I think with Diddy, there’s a similar level of mystery. We don’t have firsthand knowledge of what happened at those parties. Some people have talked about what was purportedly leaked. But there’s enough of a hole in the story, QAnon — or anybody else — can fill that hole in.
