Despite valid concerns about the rise in true crime entertainment, stoked largely by the popularity of the new Netflix mini-series, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, not every piece of media based upon real violence is quite so unethical.

A brief revisit of the most ludicrous thing the E! channel has ever released, Pretty Wild, a reality show starring the “superficial, materialistic, and amoral” (according to Emma Watson) criminal Alexis Neiers. Will the new Netflix docuseries be enough to redeem the public image of the infamous “Bling Ring,” or will the self-righteous condemnation of Nancy Jo Sales prevail yet again?

In terms of weird celebrity drama, 2022 just keeps on shilling out new stories for us to over-analyze and obsess about. This time, at least, the conversation is MOSTLY made up of petty gossip and rumors, but as with many things this year, there's also a hint of misogyny in the discourse. So strap in for a run-down on a winding narrative made up of trashy hearsay as we examine the behind-the-scenes drama on the set (and at the premiere) of Don't Worry Darling. #LeaveOliviaWildeALONE

A more rant-based finale for this four-part series of torture covering the most exhausting source of online discourse in recent history. Rants featured: dumb things people have said to me personally about Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, myths and misconceptions that surround the trials (fuck you, Morgan Tremaine), and the shit way social media talks about domestic abuse.

Against my better judgement, I've decided to weigh in on yet another matter of exhausting Internet discourse. From their first meeting until the trial of the 21st century, this episode goes through all the major claims between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp. It's... a lot.Referenced:Everything you need to know about the relationship of Johnny Depp and Amber HeardMedusone.comFinal judgement in UK trialNew York Post: “Threesomes and vodka: the wild rise of Kate Moss”Depp's interview regarding paparazzi assaultAlleged assault at Iggy Pop concertPeople magazine coverDaily Mail on Depp's new girlfriendAlleged City of Lies assaultThe Sun calls Depp a wife-beaterRolling Stone: “The Trouble With Johnny Depp”Business Insider: “Here Are The American Executives Who Are Working On Behalf Of Putin”GQ: “Johnny Depp Will Not Be Buried”Amber Heard's Wa-Po op-edThe Hollywood Reporter: “‘He's Radioactive': Inside Johnny Depp's Self-made Implosion”Paul Barresi: says he was hired by Amber Heard; podcast interview (references to Eddie Murphy case); claims about Amber's father, assault allegations on City of Lies, Anthony Fox's disappearanceGeneral info on Hollywood “fixers”

Now that Britney Spears is out of her conservatorship, after years of the #FreeBritney movement fighting to publicize the abuse she endured at the hands of her father, I'm re-watching the 2017 Lifetime film, Britney Ever After. It didn't age well. Read my rant about biopics, inspired by the new Baz Luhrmann film, Elvis, at Medusone.com.

In a sad two-parter, I'm finally discussing *that* trial. Instead of just weighing in on the verdict for the trial, though, I'm breaking down the entirety of Johnny Depp's and Amber Heard's relationship, starting with their lives prior to meeting one another. Do they display patterns of abusive behavior outside of their relationship with each other? Were they both psychologically damaged prior to their union? Are there more victims of abuse in the actors' romantic rosters that have yet to come forward?Also in this episode: why I hate “body language expert” Youtube, how Taylor Swift killed it as a defendant in her own defamation trial, and an underlying theme of the Internet being awful.

The second entry into the Kardashian Retrospective series, looking at how Kim Kardashian achieved fame as an emerging socialite–utilizing the fame-whoring antics of Speidi ( Spencer and Heidi of The Hills), getting photographed with people that were actual celebrities, and making the best of an awful situation. We'll answer the questions: Why is the Kardashian family so hated? Is Kim Kardashian a "bad role model" for girls? Is she a narcissist? Are tabloids and reality shows feminist actually? And most importantly, Do celebrities really leak their own sex tapes?

With the publicity of Britney Spears' now-terminated conservatorship and the #FreeBritney movement, how guardianship arrangements work across the U.S. is an increasingly hot topic, prompting nationwide discussions about the value and potential problems within guardianship proceedings. What may be surprising is that Britney Spears is not the first celebrity to be put into a conservatorship or guardianship. In this episode, we'll overview guardianship laws across the country, then discuss six celebrities who've been in these situations before or still are today: Nichelle Nichols, Casey Kasem, Mikey Rooney, Brian Wilson, Bam Margera, and Amanda Bynes.Twitter: @JasminpigemojiInstagram: @JasminheartemojiInformation referenced in this episode came from the following sources:General info on guardianships:“The Use of Conservatorships and Adult Guardianships and Other Options in the Care of the Mentally Ill in the United States”Briefs on conservatorship exploitation from The Nation Center for State Courts“A 50-State Review of Guardianship Laws: Specific Concerns for Special Needs Planning” from the Journal of Financial Service ProfessionalsMap showing conservatees' rights to representation across the U.S.State Adult Guardian Legislation Summary: Directions of Reform - 2018 (americanbar.org)The Guardians documentary, available on Amazon VideoBritney Spears June 2021 court testimonyNichelle Nichols conservatorship-“Inside the heartbreaking conservatorship battle of a ‘Star Trek' legend” by The LA Times“Man faces legal hurdles to restore rights after guardianship” by ABC Action NewsRemote deposition of BJ Hawkins“Fawcette Says Nichelle's Son Was Estranged for Years; Attempted to Escape from Nursing Home”“Nichelle's Own Words”“Friends of Star Trek Actress Nichelle Nichols, 86, React to Video of Her Screaming”Casey Kasem- Statement from Kasemcares.org“Casey Kasem News Kids Kerri Kasem Family Friends Peacefully Protest Jean Kasem Battle”“Casey Kasem's kids: We just want to see our dad”“Casey Kasem missing: Is wife hiding him?”“Two sides of Casey Kasem's family blamed each other for the radio legend's death”“Bitter Blood: Kasem vs. Kasem” podcast on AudibleMickey Rooney-“Tears and Terror: The Disturbing Final Years of Mickey Rooney” by The Hollywood ReporterMickey Rooney's testimony on conservatorship abuseBrian Wilson-“Beach Boy Wilson sues former conservator” by VarietyWilson V.
