Happy Friday, Flop Tarts! We are coming to you with all the flops you need to be aware of this week, as per usual!

This week, we try to understand what's going on over on team Janet Jackson in the wake of her recent comments on Kamala Harris. Also, is Moo Deng the pygmy hippo the new Chappell Roan? Oh and by the way, they're trying to do Fyre Festival 2.0 and we have to ask, can Fire Island 2.0 and Fyre Festival 2.0 somehow form a joint fire flop?

Katy Perry's album also came out so we HAVE to circle back on all THAT.

And MOST importantly, our main hot flopic for this week is the Olivia Nuzzi x Robert F. Kenndy Jr. "collab" aka "digital affair" that broke this week. Is journalism okay? Was it ever?

Tune in!! <3
