About this episode

This week on Eavesdroppin’, hosts Geordie & Michelle look at celebrity cults… What happens when fame, influence and wellness collide? This episode dips into the unsettling world of celebrity cults and the stars who found themselves caught up in the orbit of charismatic leaders, unconventional belief systems and communities that demand absolute devotion. From Michelle Pfeiffer to Patricia Arquette and Glenn Close, we uncover the cults connected to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. But at the heart of the episode is the story of Game of Thrones star Hannah Murray. After a fellow castmate on the film Detroit recommended a wellness healer, Hannah gave it a go, but what initially seemed like a path to healing and self-discovery soon took a darker turn. As the healer’s influence grew, so did the financial, emotional and psychological toll, until Hannah began to realise just how much energy, money and self-esteem was being spent. So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat Devil's Breath, gardening and more more on Eavesdroppin’.
