EP 7. Credibility Issues

EP 7. Credibility Issues

When I was a teenager, I reported child sexual abuse to a School Resource Officer. Years later, I obtained the police report and discovered something I never expected: before any real investigation could begin, concerns about my "credibility" had already been documented. In this episode of Real Funny Real Cute, I discuss what happened after I came forward, the lasting impact of being dismissed by trusted adults, and why the response to abuse disclosures can sometimes leave deeper scars than the abuse itself. We talk about: * Reporting child sexual abuse as a teenager * Being labeled as having "credibility issues" * Institutional failures and accountability * Why creating a paper trail matters * The emotional cost of not being believed * Spending years trying to tell your story This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse and may be difficult for some listeners. Please listen with care. 🎙️ Real Funny Real Cute is a podcast about breaking down what is serious through humor, chisme, and personal storytelling.

Ep. 6 Growing Up in a Hispanic Bubble

This week, Roman hits pause on the legal talk to dive into the hilarious culture shocks of growing up Mexican-American. We’re talking about the "Storage Oven," the Fabuloso obsession, and the absolute chaos of moving out and realizing not everyone dilutes their dish soap in a Daisy sour cream container. It’s a lighthearted look at the quirks of Mexican-American households, the "toxic" traits we keep, and the ones we finally let go of (like washing dishes in scalding water without gloves).

Ep5. Part 2 The Hidden Stalking Tactics That Could Threaten Your Safety

Most people think stalking looks like someone hiding in bushes or following you home. Reality is quieter, more obsessive, and a lot easier to miss. In this episode, Roman breaks down the subtle patterns of control, fixation, and boundary-crossing that don’t always get labeled for what they are—until it’s too late. From constant monitoring and “coincidental” appearances to emotional manipulation disguised as care, this isn’t just about one experience—it’s about how easily these behaviors get normalized. Because the truth is, the warning signs are usually there. They’re just not always obvious. And when no one calls it what it is, it keeps happening. This episode pulls those patterns into the light—so you can recognize them before they escalate.

Ep 5. 0NateB 212 Finale Part 1. Coincidences or Patterns?

Most people don’t recognize manipulation while it’s happening. They call it coincidence. They call it overthinking. They call it nothing—until it’s too late. In this episode, Roman breaks down a relationship that didn’t just end—it unraveled. What started as confusion turned into patterns: repeated “coincidences,” social media monitoring, location tracking, and escalating behavior that stopped making sense. This isn’t just about one person. It’s about how manipulation hides in plain sight—how easily reality can be rewritten, and how quickly things can turn when you start noticing the patterns. If you’ve ever questioned your instincts or been told you’re “crazy” for connecting the dots, this episode is going to hit.
