Cancel Me, Daddy

Epstein, Me Too, and the Justice We Never Got (ft. Lyz Lenz)


Listen Later

How deep does the media’s complicity go? In this episode of Cancel Me, Daddy, Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi unpack the disturbing connection between the "Shitty Media Men" list, the MeToo movement, and the recently released Epstein files.

While the world focuses on the spectacle, we dig into the systems that allowed abuse to thrive. We explore how names on the infamous 2017 "Shitty Media Men" spreadsheet—originally created to warn women about harassment and assault—surfaced years later in the Department of Justice's redacted Epstein list.

In this episode we cover:

-Why the Epstein survivors still haven't found justice

-Lyz's own harrowing story of sexual harassment from a man who ended up in the Epstein files

-What happens to women who become known for being victims of the men who they speak up against

Featuring Guest: Lyz Lenz, author and host of the “Dingus of the Week” newsletter, joins us to discuss the bleak reality of seeking justice and why we need to stop asking "why didn't they speak up?" and start asking "why didn't we listen?"
