What happens when the "Kingmaker" is unmasked?

This week on Scandal Queens, we aren't just talking about a fallout. We are deconstructing the collapse of a music industry cathedral. Following the shocking February 2026 Department of Justice (DOJ) document release, we'll be diving into the 700+ mentions of legendary Sony mogul Tommy Mottola in the unsealed Epstein files.

How did the man who "built" Mariah Carey also build what she called "Sing-Sing"—a 50-acre fortress of surveillance and control? 

We’re connecting the dots from Mariah’s "bed of nails" marriage to the 2002 protest where Michael Jackson famously called Mottola "the devil."
