    What Is a Sugar Baby? My Seeking Arrangement Tell-All

    Before the "honey please" texts made sugar babies front-page news, I was hired by Seeking Arrangement — the controversial dating website — to destigmatize sugar baby/sugar daddy relationships, taking the argument all the way to the Wendy Williams Show! Filming from New York with my friend Diana, I tells the full saga: how I got hired, what a sugar baby actually is, and how it connects to the scandal engulfing Kimberly Guilfoyle, whose lawyer disputes the reported $100,000 "honey please" texts.

    "Honey Please" — Has Kimberly Guilfoyle Been Outed as a Sugar Baby?

    The Wall Street Journal published text messages showing Kimberly Guilfoyle — the U.S. ambassador to Greece — asking a MAGA donor for $100,000 to pay off her American Express bill just days before her confirmation hearing. "Honey please, I need you to get this done for me today." I break down what this really looks like: money for access, access for money — quid pro quo, plain and simple. So I'll ask what everyone's thinking: is she a modern-day sugar baby? Plus — I share a big secret. I'm back in New York, and Friday is a huge day for me. Only my subscribers get to know why and what's happening. --- --- --- Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

    REPLAY: Maddie Kowalski Went Viral Against Her Will — Why the Cornell Case Brought Us Back to Her Story

    Cornell is all over the news right now — a former student alleges she was drugged and assaulted by fraternity brothers two years ago, and it's only coming out now. But nobody's talking about Maddie Kowalski. And it just happened to her. Just last year Maddie was a sophomore at the University of Florida, when she says she was heavily intoxicated — in no position to consent — as intimate videos of her were filmed and posted online without her knowledge. Five million views. Memes. AI edits. Strangers saying she asked for it, that she deserved it. Her family harassed. She withdrew from school and stopped leaving her apartment. She told her story to Rachel, exclusively. Different school, different girl — same questions. Who do you believe? Why didn't the school take a stand? Did she deserve it because of her reputation? And the person who filmed it and put it online — should they face legal punishment? This is an encore presentation of Rachel's conversation with Maddie Kowalski. --- --- --- Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

    The Other Side of Perfect: How Venus Griffin Rebuilt Her Life After Everything Collapsed

    From the outside, Venus Griffin appeared to have the perfect life. She and her husband were raising six children in Augusta, Georgia. They were PTA presidents, sat front row at church every Sunday, and were known around town as the “Ken and Barbie of Augusta.” Behind closed doors, Venus says her marriage was becoming increasingly abusive. Then a phone call in the middle of the night began unraveling everything. A woman told Venus she was involved with her husband. Venus went to meet her convinced she could prove his innocence. Instead, it became the beginning of a series of revelations that would ultimately end her marriage and lead to her husband being convicted and sentenced to 45 years in prison. Suddenly, Venus was raising six children, living in a two-bedroom house and trying to rebuild a family dealing with trauma, shame and financial uncertainty. Her first year selling real estate, Venus made $20,000 while working 70-hour weeks. Seven years later, she was grossing seven figures. Rachel Uchitel sits down with Venus to unpack the story behind the life that once looked perfect, why she stayed as long as she did, the guilt she carried afterward, the extraordinary way she rebuilt financially, and why she believes forgiving herself was harder than forgiving anyone else. Her new book, The Other Side of Perfect, turns the story she once worked desperately to hide into a roadmap for women who feel trapped, ashamed or convinced there is no way forward. https://www.venusmorrisgriffin.com/book --- --- --- Want some more BTS bonus content of Miss Understood?

    Teal Swan on the Cult Allegations, The Deep End, and Why She's Misunderstood

    She has millions of followers who say she saved their lives — and critics who say she's running a cult.Teal Swan is one of the most polarizing spiritual teachers on the internet. She built an empire on YouTube talking about trauma, depression, and healing, with no formal training in psychology — and thousands of followers who traveled to her retreats in Costa Rica. Then came the 2018 investigation accusing her of targeting people with suicidal thoughts, and the 2022 docuseries The Deep End, which put cameras inside her inner circle for three years and turned the whispers into a question the whole internet was asking: is this a cult?In this conversation, Rachel asks Teal the questions her critics never stop asking — and Teal answers all of them herself, including the moment she admits she structured her company almost exactly the way a notorious cult leader structured his.This is an encore presentation of our January 2024 conversation.
