The queen of scam reporting, Gabrielle Bluestone, joins us this week to talk about all of our favorite scams. This woman broke the news about the Fyre Festival, people, and now she has a new book out about it all. She also tells us her opinion on Khloe Kardashian, Instagram, and even the Barbra Streisand effect. Plus, why aren’t more people talking about Vandepump alum, Jax, already scamming his baby? AND Gabrielle spills the tea on why Billy McFarland’s ass wasn’t in the Netflix doc about the Fyre Festival, (which she produced!) Also, did you know that guy owes $26 million in restitution? Ahahahahahahah!
