This week, we’re diving deep into The Real Housewives as one of the most revealing pop-culture franchises of the past 20 years. While Sarah is away this week, Sadaf is joined by Housewives expert Laura Hensley (creator of the That’s My Opinion! newsletter) to break down why we’re obsessed. We get into how this empire kicked off, the beloved format from the taglines to reunions, the most memorable moments and breakout stars, and, of course, all the criticism: the alcohol consumption, the racial ickiness, the rampant crime. And the big question: is it feminist?

This week, we continue with the Beckham family drama, after Brooklyn published a jaw-dropping six-page Instagram statement accusing his mother, Victoria , of humiliating him at his wedding. Is this feud salvageable or officially beyond repair? Then, we turn to the latest round of cruel fat-shaming aimed at journalist and filmmaker Keely Shaye Smith, Pierce Brosnan’s wife of more than two decades. In the era of Ozempic, why does the internet still seem personally offended by happy, long-married couples? The centrepiece of our episode, however, is the increasingly explosive legal saga between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. We unpack her sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit, his $400-million countersuit, and the leaked text messages revealed during discovery, which feature none other than Taylor Swift.

Amanda Seyfried is, in a low-key way, one of the most recognizable stars in the world. From blockbuster musicals like Mama Mia! and Les Mis, to thrillers like The Housemaid, who hasn't seen Amanda in something? Despite her fame, she has managed to stay largely scandal-free; however, that doesn't mean she hasn't done some edgy things. This week, we explore the times she narrowly escaped the sort of cheating scandals that take down countless other female celebrities, from Angelina Jolie to Olivia Munn. Did you know some people believe Amanda may have broken up her husband's first marriage? Neither does anyone else. We'll also dig into why we believe she might have made an EVEN BETTER Galinda than Ariana Grande...
