Shame, Screenshots, and Justice: Inside the Mind of Bully Hunter Dr. James McGibney

from Up + Adam with Adam Montiel · host Adam Montiel

In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam chats with Dr. James McGibney, the former U.S. Marine turned digital justice warrior, to talk about what it takes to take down cyberbullies, online predators, and the shadow networks that traffic in shame. You’ve seen him in the Netflix doc The Most Hated Man on the Internet. You’ve seen his work on VICE, Dr. Phil, and now on A&E’s brand-new special Bully Hunter, premiering Tuesday, September 23rd at 10pm. But this conversation isn’t just about the mission. It’s about the man behind it. From the day he tricked Hunter Moore into handing over a revenge porn empire, to the stories of survivors that still haunt him, McGibney opens up about the emotional toll, the wins no one sees, and what it really means to reclaim power online. Whether you’re a parent, a victim, or just someone who wants to believe in digital justice, this one is required listening.
