    Plane Jane (House of Villains, RuPaul's Drag Race) on Owning the Villain Label & Unapologetic Truth

    Warning: Some adult language Plane Jane has never been afraid to say exactly what’s on her mind, and now she’s bringing that unapologetic energy to House of Villains on Peacock. In this episode of AW Confidential, we sit down with reality TV firestarter Plane Jane to talk about stepping into the villain era, navigating alliances in a house full of competitors, and why bold personalities are so often labeled the villain. From strategy and rivalries inside the House of Villains to the cultural conversation around confidence, authenticity, and speaking without a filter, Plane Jane pulls back the curtain on what it really means to own your reputation in reality television. The conversation explores the psychology of the villain label, the power dynamics inside competitive reality TV, and what happens when someone refuses to shrink themselves to make others comfortable. If you’ve ever been called “too much,” “too direct,” or “too honest,” this conversation might just hit home. • Plane Jane on joining House of Villains and stepping into the villain role• Strategy, alliances, and trust inside the house• Why outspoken women are often labeled the villain• The power of being unapologetically yourself• An AW Truth Bomb on owning your voice House of Villains: Season 3 streams on Peacock, bringing together reality TV icons to compete for the title of America’s ultimate supervillain.

    Katelyn McCullough: When Everything Crashes - The $40 Dream That Nearly Fell Apart

    When circus-performer-turned-filmmaker Katelyn McCulloch lost her entire first short film in a hard-drive crash, it should’ve been the end of the story. Instead, it became the moment everything began. In this powerful episode of AW Confidential, Katelyn joins AW for a raw, funny, and honest conversation about rebuilding after breakdowns — artistic, emotional, and personal. What started as a total loss turned into a $40 pizza-fueled miracle that would eventually become Everybody’s Meg, the award-winning comedy series now premiering on Trailer Park Boys+. But this conversation goes far beyond filmmaking. Together, they unpack: The crash that changed everything — and the others that followed What rebuilding looks like when you have no budget, no plan, and no backup How chaos becomes clarity when you trust your instincts Why women in filmmaking are rewriting the rules, frame by frame The unexpected strength you discover when life falls apart Using humor as healing, resilience, and rebellion Katelyn’s journey is a masterclass in grit, creativity, and comeback energy, a reminder that “dreamers” aren’t the ones who talk about it… They’re the ones who build from whatever they have left. AW Truth Bomb: When everything crashes, strength isn’t who you are when it works; it’s who you choose to be when it doesn’t. If you’re navigating your own rebuild, this episode will meet you right where you are.
