    PEREZ HILTON: The Disturbing Livestream, His Controversial Past, TikTok’s Failures & Backlash Over His Request For Privacy Amid Mental Health Crisis | 675

    Last week, OG celebrity blogger Perez Hilton was hospitalised following an incredibly disturbing mental health crisis that played out live on TikTok…  Today, we unpack exactly what happened, the concerning events leading up to Perez’s hospitalisation, his messy history with TikTok and the serious questions the platform now has to answer about its moderation systems. We also revisit Perez’s controversial past and his now-rather-eerie 2022 So Dramatic! Interview, including his candid admissions about the harm he caused at the height of his fame and the haunting comments that hit VERY differently now… PLUS, Perez’s family’s plea for privacy has sparked a huge debate: does someone who built an empire exposing other people’s darkest moments deserve privacy when the tables are turned? And can we hold someone accountable for the harm they’ve caused while still showing them compassion during the darkest moment of their own life? PS.

    THE DARK SIDE OF FAME: What REALLY Led to Perez Hilton’s Mental Health Breakdown & My Own Struggles as a Celebrity Reporter | EXTRA

    After recording a deep dive into Perez Hilton’s disturbing livestream and subsequent hospitalisation, my algorithm sent me down one HELL of a rabbit hole — and what I found raised even more questions… In this Extra episode, we unpack the wild theories circulating about what may have contributed to Perez’s mental health crisis – from his recent battle with sepsis and religious awakening to reports of serious financial pressure, declining relevance and the relentless pursuit of attention after more than two decades in the public eye. We also take a much deeper look at the psychology of fame: what happens when your income, identity and self-worth become intertwined with millions of strangers watching you? What happens when that attention starts disappearing? And could evolving from the controversial person who made you famous create an identity crisis of its own? PLUS, some truly horrific moments from Perez’s past are resurfacing — including his treatment of Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse, outing gay celebrities, sexualising teenage stars and the brutal way he covered young women and even celebrities’ children. But can we still show someone compassion if they’ve still caused significant harm? PLUS, I share some of my own personal struggles with mental health and BTS insight into celebrity reporting and the toll it can take on you! PLUS LOTS MORE! CONTENT WARNING: This episode discusses self-harm, suicide, mental health and disturbing treatment of minors.

    SICK & TIRED! Why I’ve Had Enough of MAFS, the Copycats, the Hypocritical Critics & the Industry Desperate To Silence Me | EXTRA

    After six years of eating, sleeping and breathing Married at First Sight, I think I've finally reached my breaking point... In this very raw and honest episode (which I actually recorded at the start of April but forgot to upload - sorry!), I'm reflecting on and opening up about why my MAFS coverage changed so much this season, why I've become increasingly disillusioned with the franchise, why I stepped back from it all, and why I'm seriously questioning whether I even want to keep covering the show anymore. I'm sharing why I think MAFS has lost its spark, why I'm embarrassed to be associated with it these days, and how the cast’s desperate race for fame has completely changed the culture surrounding the show and become more exhausting than entertaining! I also address the recent wave of So Dramatic! copycat podcasts, what happened when I discovered other creators stealing my work, my name, my branding, my quotes, my likeness, and the industry's ongoing attempts to freeze me out! Plus, I unpack what I believe are some glaring double standards when it comes to my reporting and how certain former critics like Abbie Chatfield, Laura Byrne and Brittany Hockley went from condemning my work to copying it! Plus my thoughts on their platforming of controversial, problematic and abusive contestants without any pushback or attempts to hold them accountable! This is probably one of my most candid episodes yet, and if you've been wondering why things have felt different lately, this should hopefully explain a lot of it...

    THE STORY I NEVER THOUGHT I’D HAVE TO TELL: My Falling Out With MAFS Bride Sierah Swepstone (Part 9) | EXTRA

    Part 9... Well, this definitely wasn't the episode I ever thought I'd be recording, and I am truly sad that it has come to this. Over the past two weeks, I've found myself at the centre of one of the most shocking and confusing situations I've experienced since starting So Dramatic! If you've been listening for a while, you'll know MAFS 2025 bride Sierah Swepstone, and I worked very closely together over the past year. I spent months helping her tell her story in a nine-part podcast series, supporting her behind the scenes, advocating for her, and staying in regular contact ever since. So you can imagine my shock when the very person I'd spent months fighting for suddenly turned on me and then publicly accused me of some very serious and deeply distressing things. What started as Sierah sending me some pretty aggressive texts because (???) quickly spiralled into serious public accusations, a dramatic falling out, and what some might even describe as a targeted smear campaign – which all kicked off after my appearance on The Morning Show, where I referenced Sierah's experience to raise awareness about the alleged failures of duty of care on MAFS – has since exploded into one of the biggest behind-the-scenes dramas I've ever personally experienced (and as you know, there have been many!) But then things got even stranger. Our private Patreon community was infiltrated by a rogue "undercover agent" who made a very targeted attack, leaving many of you caught in the crossfire and just as confused as I was. And so, here we are. This wasn't a story I ever wanted to tell. But after the public allegations made against me by Sierah and those close to her, particularly regarding my character, intentions, and actions, I feel it's only fair that I respond and clear my name. So, in this special multi-part series, I'll explain everything that happened: why I scrapped the original episode I'd already recorded, the shocking turn of events after my appearance on The Morning Show, the deeply hurtful messages Sierah sent me, why she blocked me, what she and her mum have publicly accused me of, the Patreon drama that unfolded in real time, the dramatic fallout, the new information that's since come to light and completely changed everything, my response to everything that's happened, and of course, the receipts behind it all, and why I felt it was only fair to tell you the full story. Although these allegations have been made publicly, for now I'm choosing to respond here, in this relatively private, paywalled space, with the people whose opinions matter most to me. I hope this series answers your questions, clears up the confusion, and gives you a much better understanding of what has been one of the most unexpected and heartbreaking plot twists I've experienced since starting this podcast.

    FANTASY STORY EXPOSED! Luke Bateman's Ex-Fiancée Responds to His 'Vile Lies' Claim & Reveals Whether He's Really Repaid the Stolen $50K | EXTRA

    Part 4... During our recent 'Luke Bateman Enters The Chat' series and previous reporting, the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star accused me of spreading "vile lies" when I reported that he allegedly stole money from his ex-fiancée and still owed her $50k. He insisted he'd never stolen a cent, didn't owe her anything, and had already repaid all of his debts. Then, in messages to a member of the Drama Army, he doubled down, claiming he'd repaid the money and no longer owed his ex anything. So I went straight to the source to get her version of events… In this episode, you'll hear an exclusive update from Luke's ex-fiancée, via her sister, on whether he's actually telling the truth and has repaid the money he once insisted he never stole, or whether it's another fictional version of reality... Plus, why this latest revelation once again backs up my original reporting. Plus, lots more! Xoxo

    LUKE BATEMAN ENTERS THE CHAT: He DMs Us With More Excuses, Gaslighting, PR Spin & Victim-Blaming + Responds to Stolen $50k Claims (Part 3) | EXTRA

    Part 3... Well... Luke Bateman has officially entered the chat. Following my last episode, The Bachelor and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has finally responded to the allegations of abuse raised by multiple former partners in previous So Dramatic! episodes. In a series of lengthy messages, Luke shares his side of the story, addressing the allegations, defends both his character and his public advocacy, explains why he believes the claims against him are not only false but fundamentally unfair, and makes explosive claims about his victims. So today, in the interests of fairness and transparency, I'm reading Luke's response in full. Then I'll be unpacking exactly what he said, the fresh claims he’s made, analysing his intentional choice of wording, separating the facts from his PR strategy, and why I think he still has not taken meaningful and honest accountability for the harm he caused several women. Then, I'll unpack exactly what he said, analyse the language and messaging throughout, examine the new claims he's made, separate the facts from what I believe is strategic reputation management, and explain why I don't believe he's taken meaningful accountability for the harm he admits to causing or the allegations made by former partners. Plus, there's a major update from Luke's former fiancée regarding the $50,000 she alleges he stole from her, including whether she says she's ever been repaid. Buckle up. There's a lot to unpack… Xoxo
