    The Dark Side of Katy Perry (Part 1): A Problematic Pattern

    From Dark Horse to just dark, there is a pattern that has followed Katy Perry through the decades.

    This week, I'll be leading you on Part 1 of my journey into one of the darkest pop princesses in the industry. Katy Perry has been a divisive figure, ever since she stepped onto the scene with "I Kissed a Girl," but this bubble gum diva's sparkly pop persona has been hiding a much darker reality.

    I'm taking you through the timeline, from groping Justin Bieber, to alleged assaults against actors and models, and the death of a nun -- this is the history Katy Perry doesn't want you to see.

    And it's only the start...

  • Your Pop Princess Is a Bad Person

    Your Pop Princess Is a Bad Person

    From Sabrina's "weird" statements at Coachella, to Taylor's flirtation with the right, it's time to admit -- your favorite pop princess is probably a bad person.

    In this episode, I'm breaking it all down. Their bad behavior, the bad people they associate with, and the manipulative techniques they use to dysregulate your emotions and control you.

    We're going into the psychology of what it takes to reach the top of the pop charts, and why supporting these "icons" makes us complicit. It's not a game anymore. It is really that deep, and you're in it.

  • The Chappell Roan Autopsy: Death of the Midwest Princess

    The Chappell Roan Autopsy: Death of the Midwest Princess

    The "Midwest Princess" was born on a golf course, and her "protest" just got bought by a billionaire.

    This week, I am performing a surgical autopsy on the spectacular collapse of Chappell Roan. We’re moving past the indie-darling branding to look at the clinical receipts: from the hotel lobby outburst that left an 11-year-old child in tears to the multi-million dollar MAC Cosmetics deal that links her "activism" to a corporate heir cited 450 times in the Epstein Files.

    How does a "protest artist" refuse the White House over "values" while signing checks from the very systems she claims to despise? I'm deconstructing the weaponization of "boundaries," the "trailer park" childhood that was actually a country-club resort, and why the fandom is finally hitting the exit.
