  • The Dark Side of Katy Perry (Part 2): No Smoke Without Fire
    Apr 29 2026

    What do you think? Send me a text 📱

    In the final installment of my Katy Perry deep dive, I'm taking you into the heart of some of Katy's closest personal and professional relationships.

    We're going through Katy's Super-MAGA parents, and right through her questionable relationship with alleged rapist, Russell Brand. Then, it's on to Dr Luke and Katy's ties to the scandal-embroiled Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the ever-problematic Blue Origin.

    Why did Katy Perry call herself a feminist when she was working for a company accused of sexual harassment and discrimination against women?

    How does she call herself modern when she's helping to line the pockets of the California GOP (and by that relation, Donald Trump)?

    We're talking all of this and more in the conclusion of The Dark Side of Katy Perry PT 2.

  • The Dark Side of Katy Perry (Part 1): A Problematic Pattern
    Apr 22 2026

    What do you think? Send me a text 📱

    From Dark Horse to just dark, there is a pattern that has followed Katy Perry through the decades.

    This week, I'll be leading you on Part 1 of my journey into one of the darkest pop princesses in the industry. Katy Perry has been a divisive figure, ever since she stepped onto the scene with "I Kissed a Girl," but this bubble gum diva's sparkly pop persona has been hiding a much darker reality.

    I'm taking you through the timeline, from groping Justin Bieber, to alleged assaults against actors and models, and the death of a nun -- this is the history Katy Perry doesn't want you to see.

    And it's only the start...

  • Your Pop Princess Is a Bad Person
    Apr 15 2026

    What do you think? Send me a text 📱

    From Sabrina's "weird" statements at Coachella, to Taylor's flirtation with the right, it's time to admit -- your favorite pop princess is probably a bad person.

    In this episode, I'm breaking it all down. Their bad behavior, the bad people they associate with, and the manipulative techniques they use to dysregulate your emotions and control you.

    We're going into the psychology of what it takes to reach the top of the pop charts, and why supporting these "icons" makes us complicit. It's not a game anymore. It is really that deep, and you're in it.
