Raven Symone made the biggest bombshell 10 years ago when she told Oprah in an interview that she didn’t want to be labeled as an African-American, but rather as just an American. That interview was initially supposed to be the interview where she came out as a lesbian, but she changed her mind at the last minute because she didn’t want to be labeled as gay. Though Raven clarified her comments on a podcast episode with her wife, her initial 2014 interview got me thinking: Wouldn’t the world be in a much better place if we only saw people for who they are rather than for what they’re labeled as? Let’s discuss…

Lindsay Lohan is currently filming the sequel to her 2003 hit, ”Freaky Friday’, with Jamie Lee Curtis. She’s at the very top of her game. She’s a married mother of one, and her career is thriving as of late thanks to Netflix’s 2022 rom-com, ‘Falling For Christmas’, as well as 2024’s ‘Irish Wish’. But that wasn’t always the case. After gaining massive success in the early 2000’s, Lohan hit rock bottom and experienced many failures as an adult woman. After numerous tries of getting back up again, she didn’t know whether she’d find exactly what she was looking for. So I wanted to really understand her journey by looking at her past – both in her work and her personal journey. Let’s discuss…

Hilary Duff has had a long-lasting career that began with her starring in Disney’s ‘Lizzie McGuire’ series between 2001 and 2004. A movie was also made in 2003 as a continuation of Lizzie’s story. Since then, she’s had a successful music and movie career in the 2000’s. Everything changed in the 2010’s when she got married and had a child as, in Duff’s own words, her priorities shifted. She’s made some bad career moves throughout, which cost her seeing the success she once experienced as a child and adolescent. But there’s one major thing she got right in 2020’s, which is not go through with what Disney wanted for her character, Lizzie, in their (axed) planned revival. Let’s discuss…

Miley Cyrus has been working her butt off since a very young age. She was also in a long-term relationship from a very young age. If you recall, she was in an on-and-off relationship with actor Liam Hemsworth for 10 whole years from the age of 16. This particular relationship was very loving, but also very wrong for her. While looking back on Miley’s career and success, it’s become evident that she was most dedicated and most passionate about her craft when she wasn’t with him, starting from 2013’s ‘Bangerz’ to 2023’s ‘Endless Summer Vacation.’ Let’s discuss…

Miley Cyrus recently appeared on David Letterman’s Netflix Show, ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’, where she opened up about her individual relationships with her parents, mom Tish and dad Billy Ray. Billy Ray Cyrus was a country music superstar back in the 90’s, with a smash hit record ‘Achy Braky Heart’ being released in 1992. Miley specifically talked about her father’s relationship with fame. With Billy Ray recently filing for divorce from his third wife, Firerose on the basis of ‘fraud’, Miley’s words made me think of how what we think of our parents when we’re adults says a lot about them as people. Let’s discuss…

Gabby Petito was a young, vibrant 22 year old influencer who had her entire life ahead of her before her fiancé, Brian Laundrie, took her life by manual strangulation in August 2021. He then died by suicide a month later, and left a notebook with him where he took full responsibility for Petito’s demise. Now, almost 3 years later, Petito is making big changes in how we see domestic violence and Intimate Partner Violence relationships. It’s a tragic tale of a woman so in love that she failed to see the signs. But Laundrie isn’t fully to blame for her death that could’ve very much been avoidable had she been protected. Let’s discuss…

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard has been doing a lot of work since being released from prison on December 28, 2023 for the murder of her mother, Dee Dee. It’s as though she never sleeps. She says she wants to step away from the limelight eventually to work at a 9-5 job, but it doesn’t seem like it’s happening anytime soon. She’s busy making documentaries, posting on her socials as an influencer, and as we learned very, very recently, making a difference in the world. But it’s her relationships with Nicholas Godejohn, Ryan Anderson and Ken Urker that are making the waves. All 3 somehow represent abuse in her life, and she herself does too. Let’s discuss…

The recent documentary, ‘Fallen Idols: Nick And Aaron Carter’ unfolded dark family secrets of the Carter family, specifically of Nick Carter and his abusive ways through interviews with his accusers, Melissa Schuman, Ashley Repp, and Shay Ruth. It also looks at the brothers’ family history and how they got to where they were at the time of Aaron’s death in November 2022. It’s a sad tale, to say the least. I do believe that Nick Carter did, in fact, abuse these three women, along with Paris Hilton, and possibly even more women who are staying quiet. But I also believe there’s a chance for him to redeem himself. Let’s discuss…

Paris Hilton is one of the most hard-working women out there, and it’s a bold thing to say considering most might say that she’s known for doing absolutely nothing. I’ve personally followed Hilton’s career for years. There was always something interesting about her that I couldn’t quite point out. Then, in 2020, ‘This Is Paris’ came out, where She opened up her childhood and the abuse she’d endured in private schools. The moment I watched it was the day I could finally understand her and empathize with her. And not only that, but I could finally analyze her friendships with Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan, look at them more in-depth and understand how they each represent her trauma. Let’s discuss…

We can’t stop saying Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ron Goldman’s names. They were brurally murdered in June 1994, and with the 30th anniversary just passing, as well as OJ Simpson’s death in April, we’re reminded of all that endured over again. The fact of the matter is that Nicole Brown Simpson could’ve been alive today. With that being said, changes need to be made before any more lives are lost. Here’s how Nicole Brown Simpson and her children were failed by the legal system and her family. And Ron Goldman? He made one deadly mistake on that fateful night. I tell you all about it in this blog post.
