Alex Cooper vs Alix Earle: The Feud Explained (Call Her Daddy Podcast Drama).
ON THE POD TODAY>>> What happened in Belle Burden's smash hit memoir Strangers? (and why did my carousel about it go viral?) I chat about the devastating prenup, what my husband said about the husband leaving, and what my carousel angle taught me about Instagram metrics.

Hold your florals, because in this episode I SAVE BLAKE LIVELY'S REPUTATION. Also in this ep, it's the Blake Lively Justin Baldoni case explained - well, the updates anyway.

How Alix Earle sold out Reale Actives in 19 hours...and why is Kris Jenner blowing up in China?! 🇨🇳
Alix Earle just sold out a skincare brand in 19 hours. Here's exactly how she did it. In Dirty Dish, hundreds of thousands of Chinese social media users are changing their profile pictures to Kris Jenner's face....but why?

Taylor Frankie Paul, The Bachelorette drama, and the $70 Million Cost of Bad PR
This week I'm unpacking the full Taylor Frankie Paul situation: the assault footage, the cancelled season, the lawsuit rumours, and the one question nobody's really asking....why did ABC cast her in the first place when they knew? (We're blaming Nick). I also have a full PR plan for three different parties caught in this mess: * the Bachelorette franchise * The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives * and Taylor herself. And yes, I pitched ABC a plan to save their show. Six days later, D...

First up in Dirty Dish - Meghan Markle. The Her Best Life retreat in Sydney sold out in days, there are conflicting reports about whether she's getting paid $1 million or doing it "as ...

Kim Kardashian has a new brand?! And the *best* psychology tweak to get more sales.
Did Kim Kardashian just waste the best launch story of 2026? Obviously I have thoughts. This week on Dirty Chats: my husband bought me a Thermomix and I've basically become a different person, Lily Allen showed up to her tour opening night wearing a dress made of actual receipts (and it's a masterclass in specific storytelling), and Kim Kardashian quietly became co-founder of an energy drink brand with absolutely zero buildup — which, for a woman who built her entire career on anticipation, i...

Tyra Banks Has a Problem + The Nancy Guthrie Mystery (And Why Curiosity Sells)
Dirty Chats is BACCCCCK and firstly a note: the audio isn't quite as good as I'd hoped... 😬 In this episode, I’m breaking down two stories that had me (and the internet) in a full chokehold: – The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, in Tucson, Arizona – The Netflix docuseries Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model and the cultural reckoning around Tyra Banks and ANTM And because I physically cannot consume media without turning it into a market...

This week on Dirty Chats, I’m finally doing what you’ve all been waiting for: a forensic analysis of the Brooklyn Beckham family drama...plus my draft PR plan for Brooklyn and Nicola to help them come out on top of the PR war (which they absolutely can, if they become the first clients of my imaginary PR company). Yes, I know. This episode is late...BUT I'M STILL ON HOLIDAY, so feel special. So this episode is a bonus Dirty Chats: less business, more gossip (for now), and a brutal...

Erika Kirk gets a PR makeover...and my 8 marketing predictions for 2026.

First, I give Erika Kirk a no-BS PR and marketing makeover, unpacking why public perception matters more than intention...and my cutthroat suggestions for her to win the public over. Then, I share my biggest predictions for business and marketing in 2026, including why visibility is e...
