We break down the ongoing downfall of James Charles and the many capitalist manipulations of Tati Westbrook. We were sold a story about a predator to sell HAIR GUMMIES. HAIR GUMMIES! Who benefitted from this callout? What has the fallout been for the gay community in the international conservative press? What can we learn from the rise of influencers who's moral compasses are guided by profits?

Eating For Free is a bi-weekly gossip podcast reporting from the edge of the internet! We're a new wave of celebrity reporters at a time when pop culture is increasingly chaotic and media lacks the ability or moral direction to make sense of this capitalist nightmare!
