Smear Campaigns | Isolation, Narrative Control, and Abuse

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks about smear campaigns as a form of isolation, narrative control, and abuse. He explains how smear campaigns often begin long before a survivor leaves, while a false story is quietly being built around them. Brandon breaks down why abusive people do this, how they shape the opinions of friends, family, schools, and other systems, and why it can feel so destabilizing when your reality is being rewritten in front of other people. He also shares a few ways survivors can protect themselves, document patterns, and focus their energy where it matters most.
