EP 26: Royal Announcement: Princess Kate Diagnosis, Quiet On Set, and Ruby Franke

In this jam-packed episode, we shine a spotlight on the seismic shockwaves rippling through Buckingham Palace following Kate Middleton's cancer diagnosis. Join Raya as she dissects the royal family's catastrophic PR blunders and their questionable decision to throw Kate under the bus for the infamous "photo Kate" scandal. We leave no stone unturned in our exploration of the fallout and its profound implications for the monarchy.

But the drama doesn't end there. Brace yourself as we dive into the daring debut of Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand, American Rivera Orchard, amidst the chaos of Kate's announcement. What does this strategic maneuver reveal about the power dynamics within the royal family, and how will it shape the future of the monarchy?

Our rollercoaster ride through the celebrity circus continues with Raya's impassioned analysis of the hard-hitting documentary Quiet on Set and Drake Bell's courageous revelation of his personal ordeal with sexual assault and the exploitation of child actors. Prepare to be enlightened and outraged as we confront the dark truths lurking beneath the glitzy facade of Hollywood.

But wait, there's more! We delve into the shocking sentencing of Ruby Franke to 30 years for the heinous abuse of her children, Christine Quinn's decision to file for divorce from husband amidst allegations of domestic violence, and the highly anticipated premiere of The Valley on Bravo, featuring familiar faces like Jax Taylor and Kristen Doute.

EP 25: Kate Gate V. Waity Katie, Summer House, Boeing Whistleblower, and Riley Strain Missing

As a self-proclaimed royalst, Raya has been busy keeping up with all of the Kate Middleton conspiricies. Do you think we will see the fall of the Monarchy in our lifetime!? Think about it.....are we in the French Revolution times..!? We want to hear your thoughts!

With the rumormill swirling surrounding Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, with her ever so impeccable timing, has rejoined Instagram to lauch her international lifestyle brand, American Rivera Orchard. Didn't Sonja Morgan do that in 2015?

We move on from The Royals, to talk about the TikTok ban, Love Is Blind Reunuion and how Nick Lachey sounds like hes recruting people for a cult, the Boeing whistleblower is found dead, and how Raya really really wishes the no pants trend would die.

Last but not least, we discuss the second weekend in a row of Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard fighting on Summer House. Lindsay questions Carl's sobriety and the both spin different stories. We know how the story ends, but interesting to see how it goes down.

Speaking of WaterKate, The Princess of Wales allegedly admitted to doctoring her Mother's Day photo that Kensington Palace shared via social media that the Associated Press later issues a kill notice for! Talk about juicy!! WHERE IS KATE?! The Kate-spiricies are running deep and Raya cannot wait to follow this niche story.

We also discuss the fall of Jay Shetty, which doesn't seem like his MLM career will be over anytime soon, as he published an episode on his podcast On Purpose With Jay Shetty this week titled, How To Stop Worrying About Other People's Opinions.

Q***r Eye drama surrounding Jonathan Van Ness (aka JVN) is being said by colleagues that he becomes enraged at least once a day and to that I have to ask, is it just because he's an aries?
