Xaviaer DuRousseau said on "The Riley Gaines Show" that his break with Black Lives Matter began during the 2020 George Floyd riots, which he said exposed performative activism and anti-police excesses.
Netflix casting for "The Circle" pushed him to study conservative arguments to rebut them, he said, but that research instead convinced him his own views had been shaped by confirmation bias and indoctrination.
Millions raised in BLM's name became a key turning point for DuRousseau, who said questions about whether victims' families received support were met with pressure to "stay in line."
Federal scrutiny has since added context: prosecutors opened a 2025 probe into whether senior BLM leaders defrauded donors, and BLM OKC's executive director was later indicted on 25 counts tied to more than $3 million.
From devoted activist to staunch critic, what triggers such a profound reversal in personal beliefs?
