The entertainment industry loves to set the rules—and then break them for whoever they choose. From how men and women are treated in music and film to the blatant disparities in opportunities, pay, and public perception, Hollywood has long operated on a system of double standards.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the unspoken rules of fame and success, exposing the bias in the industry, and asking the real questions: Who gets a pass? Who gets canceled? And who’s really in control?
