    What the Culture Showed Us in 2025 | Power, Scandals & Shifts
    Dec 31 2025
    2025 had a way of revealing itself. Across entertainment, sports, media, and power, the same themes kept surfacing — exposure, accountability, and people losing control of the story they thought they owned. In this year-end conversation, Jill Munroe examines the moments that defined 2025 and what they collectively reveal about culture, influence, and public behavior. From the Diddy trial and Cassie’s testimony, to Shannon Sharpe’s fall from grace, to Dr. Cheyenne Bryant challenging masculinity and accountability in real time — these weren’t isolated moments. They were signals. The year also gave us major cultural markers: Beyoncé’s historic COWBOY CARTER Grammy win, Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance, Verzuz returning with Cash Money vs. No Limit, and a growing list of industry shakeups involving Paramount, Skydance, Netflix, and Warner Bros. Before we move ahead, this is what the culture showed us in 2025.
