Roger Stone Reveals How the Media Ruined His Life & Left Him With MILLIONS in Debt| Erased! Ep. 3

Roger Stone was one of the most high-profile political targets in recent memory - smeared by the media, convicted, and nearly erased from public life. But what happens after the headlines fade? In this raw, emotional, and brutally honest episode, Roger sits down to share what really happened behind the scenes of his cancellation.

We go deep into the personal toll: the financial ruin, the mental battle, the pain of being labeled guilty in the court of public opinion - even after being proven innocent. He opens up about the millions he still owes, the friends he lost, and how he continues to rebuild his life while carrying the weight of a media-driven takedown.

This isn’t about politics - this is about the human cost of a false narrative.

Guest: Roger Stone
