Asking For It: Sophie Toscan duPlantier Part 2

In Part Two of our deep dive into the 1996 murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier, we examine the man who would come to dominate headlines: Ian Bailey. As the Garda investigation unfolds, Bailey—a local journalist—emerges not just as a reporter covering the case, but as its prime suspect. We explore the timeline of events, the contradictions in Bailey’s statements, and his troubling history of violence.Through this lens, we look at how power, control, and manipulation can echo in both intimate relationships and high-profile cases. As always on IPV and Me, we center the reality of coercive dynamics and the impact of gender-based violence.This episode contains descriptions of violence and abuse.
