Episode Details

Blake Lively has broken her silence on the It Ends With Us chaos, calling it “manufactured shame". With Justin Baldoni’s $614 million countersuit just dismissed, it’s validation for Lively — but the real drama’s not over till 2026. Mia, Jessie and Em Vernem discuss. 

Plus, Wife Guys. You’ve seen them online — gushing about their spouses like it’s their full-time job. Mia, Jessie and Em ask: is it wholesome... or a red flag?

And finally, are we OK? Sydney Sweeney is selling 'vintage' soap made from her actual bath water, and Bonnie Blue was all set to launch a human petting zoo with herself as the star attraction — until Only Fans banned her. We unpack the trend of women turning themselves into brands and whether it’s empowerment to be proud of or something else that's far more troubling.
