## Resource

On a livestream, Jesse Ridgway said, “I’m glad my dad didn’t terminate me, but I’m normal.” That sentence — delivered in the middle of a firestorm about his unborn child — tells a psychotherapist something very specific. Jesse Ridgway has staged events for attention his entire career. Four years of fake family violence. A platform that burned through a million users. And now a pregnancy announcement that may or may not be real, from a man whose record is built entirely on making people believe things that didn’t happen. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down what she hears in that quote, what the clinical escalation pattern looks like across Ridgway’s career, and what a framework called Munchausen by Internet reveals about someone who fabricates crises online to harvest sympathy and attention. If Jesse Ridgway’s career is a case study, what is the diagnosis?
