Molly Mae

In 2021, a record 493 new people became billionaires – on average there was a new billionaire created every 17 hours. Meanwhile in Britain, over the crisis, the poorest 30% of adults gained an average additional wealth of just £86, compared to £50,000 for the richest 10%. The rich have lined their already deep pockets further, while the poor have only gotten poorer. So, when multi-millionaires chime in with hot takes that essentially shame those on the losing end of wealth inequality for their lack of “success”, it usually doesn’t end well. That’s something reality star Molly-May Hague can attest to after a series of tone-deaf comments that read like the infamous Paris Hilton “Stop Being Poor” t-shirt meme made her public enemy number one...

Kate Forbes

On the 15th of February 2023, before a hastily assembled press pack, Scotland’s first minister, Nicola Sturgeon, informed Edinburgh - and the world - of her decision to resign after eight years in the post. The personal cost of political theatre had become all too high for the longest-serving first minister in Scotland’s history. Amidst the furore that descended upon the party, one forerunner in particular made waves: the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Economy, and the Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch, Kate Forbes. Although debates for the SNP leadership have finished - with Humza Yusaf, not Forbes as the victorious candidate - today we’re exploring a debate of a different nature that’s taken place. One that hinges on Forbes’ personal politics…. This episode was written by Paula Akpan. This is a Broccoli Production. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tyra Banks

You may know her as the first African American supermodel to grace the covers of Sports Illustrated and GQ with that body 'ody 'ody. You may know her as the ethereal beauty that sashayed down the runway as one of Victoria’s Secret’s iconic angels. You may EVEN know her as the shining star of the iconic, straight to TV, 2000 film... “Life Size”. But at her most iconic, she is the host and face of America’s Next Top Model and brought 24 cycles of drama, challenges, ‘go-sees’, eliminations, controversial photoshoots and a whole variety of beautiful women into our living rooms throughout the 00s. So how and why exactly has someone that has all the credentials of a trailblazer been cancelled so vehemently by every corner of the internet?

Jameela Jamil

Jamil is best known for her body-positivity activism, having battled with anorexia as a teenage model, and a young woman navigating the fashion and tv worlds, her crusade against the misogynist and fat-shaming diet and detox industry has delivered some impressive results but she also regularly finds herself in the middle of online spats. None more genuinely confounding than in February 2020 when she faced Tracie Egan Morrissey – an ex-Jezebel editor who suggested that Jamil has, or is acting like she has, Munchausen syndrome, a disorder where people fake illnesses...

Sia

Here’s the thing about fame; it gives you carte blanche. Fame equals money equals access equals freedom –freedom to do pretty much anything you want. Sounds great, right? This inter-disciplinary zeal has produced some extraordinary moments of art and culture. But a blank cheque can be a dangerous thing. You can attempt to cash in too much, and then it all goes horribly wrong. Sometimes, sticking to what you know is for the best. And having insulted a whole section of society with her directorial debut, and handled the fallout appallingly, nobody should heed this advice more than Sia.

Kristen Gray [Bali Girl]

A story about a woman who found her Eden, shared it with everyone and then promptly lost it all. It’s a story about privilege, a collision of culture and the nasty underbelly that makes paradise for a select few possible. It’s a story about ignorance and influencers. And ultimately, it’s a story about getting heavily cancelled. On this episode of Cancelled, we’re going to introduce you to the unfortunate tale of Kristen Gray.
