Asking For It: Sophie Toscan duPlantier Part 2
In Part Two of our deep dive into the 1996 murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier, we examine the man who would come to dominate headlines: Ian Bailey. As the Garda investigation unfolds, Bailey—a local journalist—emerges not just as a reporter covering the case, but as its prime suspect. We explore the timeline of events, the contradictions in Bailey’s statements, and his troubling history of violence. Through this lens, we look at how power, control, and manipulation can echo in both intimate relationships and high-profile cases. As always on IPV and Me, we center the reality of coercive dynamics and the impact of gender-based violence. This episode contains descriptions of violence and abuse.

Asking For It: Sophie Toscan duPlantier Part 1
In this special two-part, I examine the tragic and deeply unsettling case of Sophie Toscan du Plantier— a French woman who was brutally murdered outside her holiday home in West Cork, Ireland, just before Christmas in 1996. In Part One, I’ll walk you through Sophie’s life, the days leading up to her death, and the strange, isolated setting where this horrific crime took place. We’ll look at the early investigation, the rumors that began to swirl, and the man who quickly emerged as the prime suspect: Ian Bailey. Sophie’s story touches on issues of power, control, violence, and the way women are often failed by justice systems—no matter where they are in the world.

Kerry Katona
In this episode of IPV and Me – My Journey with Domestic Abuse, I’m sharing the story of Kerry Katona. Many people know Kerry as a singer, TV personality, and someone who has lived much of her life in the public eye. But behind the fame, she was also living through the pain and fear of domestic abuse. Kerry’s story is a powerful reminder that abuse can happen to anyone, no matter who they are or what their life looks like from the outside. In telling her journey, I want to highlight not only the challenges she faced but also the strength and resilience it takes to survive and speak out.
