The Bid Picture with Bidemi Ologunde
445. Sex, Lies, and the O-1 Visa
Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's new show: The Work Ethic Podcast, available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde traces the blurry line between truth and virality—where influencer "exposés" can ignite celebrity sex scandals, trigger defamation lawsuits, and reward the loudest story rather than the most accurate one. How did scandal become a business model? What happens when deepfakes, rumor accounts, and clout incentives collide with real reputations—and real trauma? And in a surprising twist of the creator economy, how are influencers and OnlyFans creators increasingly positioning themselves as "extraordinary talent" in O-1 visa applications to enter the United States? Along the way, Bid weaves in the non-linear story of a high-end escort whose entry into that world coincided with abuse at home—revealing how private pain can echo through public spectacle. Who gets protected in the attention economy—and who gets used? What does "proof" even mean anymore? And what's the true cost of going viral?
