This week on December 18th, 2024, the world lost an amazing human and friends, and one of my favorite humans of all time, survivor and warrior, Kevin Sutherland. In lieu of Kevin's devastating passing, I am devoted to finish the mission he started by continuing to share his story, continuing to call out every last person who failed him, and continuing to shed a light on the darkness that Kevin and many other survivors face, fight, and overcome their entire lives. Kevin was such a special person - I can't convey this enough. He was a bright light, a brilliant mind and story-teller, a humble soul, and someone who was too good for this world.

Today we welcome back on the show for the third time: child care, foster care home and rape survivor, warrior, dog-lover, social butterfly, travel connoisseur, content creator, absolute sweetheart, and whistleblower against some of the biggest names trending in the UK: Kevin Sutherland

I met Kevin in my first season of podcasting on an Instagram post he made saying he was ready to publicly share his story and was looking for a podcast to do his expose on. Another former podcast guest, Molly Skye Brown, tagged me in the post, I commented on Kevin’s post that I’d be happy to host him, and Kevin and I became instant friends right after. Kevin shared his testimony for the first time ever on ‘The Imagination’ and was one of the first guests I had on the show.

Just under a year ago, a massive sex abuse scandal broke in the UK where survivors and victims of Dan Wootton began speaking out making mainstream headlines and validating Kevin’s testimony. It seemed that Dan was finally being exposed for crimes against his victims and Kevin’s voice was being heard prominently again as a couple of his tweets on Twitter went viral and survivors began elevating each other’s voices. As time has gone on, however, there has been a concerted effort once again to gaslight survivors and to elevate Dan’s side of the story in order to restore his reputation in the public eye.

Kevin is coming back on today to whistleblow the politically charged narrative of the Dan Wootton scandal and the after-effects this has had - including putting to rest and directly responding to the twisted narrative and false claims that have been said against Kevin as well as discussing Dan’s allegations of being ‘falsely accused’ when nothing could be further from the truth. As you will see today, there is a conspiracy involving the media, politics, and popular podcasters to cover-up abuse allegations of survivor’s like Kevin and to restore Dan’s reputation in the public.

It’s important that we shine a light on the truth of this matter and hear all sides of the story. I personally find it sickening how the UK news media is asking for sympathy for Dan Wootton without giving any of his victims a chance to share their side of the story. Why have there been no survivor’s given a platform to share their allegations against Dan? Kevin is here to not only speak on behalf of himself, but to speak on behalf of every other victim who has come forward only to be silenced. We know that mainstream media exists to control narratives and it’s podcasts like this one that exist to share the counter-narrative and what the fake news will never share with the public. Kevin is a hero in every way and his voice and story speak for so many other abuse survivors who don’t have and were never given a voice. I ask that you put away whatever you are doing and give this brave warrior your attention as we break this massive story here on ‘The Imagination’. Lets blow up this episode everyone - our voices need
