The episode explores that question through the lens of two public figures—Hilton and Ariana Grande—while working from a central conviction: what looks like a mental health crisis may actually be something deeper, and the Bible provides the framework for discerning the difference.
The Hilton Case: What We Know and Don't Know

But his subsequent videos revealed serious problems. He said he "no longer needs to have faith" because he now "knows" God is real—a statement that confuses intellectual acknowledgment with saving faith. He also declared, "I'm still gay. Very gay.

Show Notes
Did Perez Hilton suffer a mental breakdown, or was he possessed by a demon? Allie dives into how the blogger and media personality was hospitalized on August 4 due to severe self-harm and his unstable mental state. Hilton claimed to be a Christian afterward, but some things don’t add up. Allie discusses the question of whether or not a believer can be possessed by a demon and if what Perez Hilton is experiencing is demonic possession or the result of living in sin. Allie also looks at Ariana Grande’s new music video “Petal,” examining the glorification of gore and her sickly state. Both Hilton and Grande exemplify what life without Christ looks like and show that true healing can only be found in him. Allie also talks about Jackie Oshry, co-host of the podcast “The Toast,” who made her appearance on second lady Usha Vance’s podcast promoting her new children’s book, despite receiving a lot of backlash. Conversely, Nara Smith disowned her "tradwife" persona that made her who she is during an appearance on “Call Her Daddy.” Allie also answers a voicemail asking about first-time obedience.
