This week we look back on the ways the sexist media tries to mislabel women in their industry. Hannah discusses the gross and predatory behaviour against Megan Fox and how, when she spoke out against this objectification, she was blacklisted. Holly looks at the racist treatment Serena Williams has recieved and continues to recieve throughout her professional career, including the racist backlash she faced for speaking out against the sexist treatment from the umpire of the 2018 US Open final. We (unfortunately) are still discussing the royal family, Lady Gaga and Adam Driver's on set photos from House of Gucci and the Hannah read (all) of the Vanity Fair article on the disturbing Hammer family.

Content Warning: discussion of self-harm and sexual assault

This week we look at today's child stars compared to the child stars of the 80s and 90s. Holly discusses Billie Eilish and her immense success and questions whether she is as radical as everyone thought she was. Hannah explains how Jojo Siwa subverts sexualisation by dressing 'too young'. We explore how they both subvert the expectations of child stardom and discuss whether it is any better for famous children and teens now than it was 20 years ago. We also share out favourite pop culture moments from the week, like the worrying David Dobrik allegations, a cult recruiting on TikTok, Megan Markle vs the Royal family and Jonah Hill's incredible Instagram post!
