Culture of Silence and NDAs: Wright discusses a longstanding culture of silence within the industry, enforced by non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and financial settlements that keep abuses hidden from the public eye. She mentions how these mechanisms have allowed individuals like Diddy to continue their behavior without consequences.
