Friend Breakups: Real Life Drama & Celebrity Feuds with Christy from Snark Bait

info@thesonarnetwork.com(The Sonar Network) — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 20:15:00 +0000

We’re tackling a heartbreak that often goes unspoken: friend breakups. Joined by Christy from the Snark Bait podcast, we’re diving into the emotional toll of losing a friend—whether it’s through a dramatic event or slow-growing distance. Why isn’t this pain talked about more often? We’ll unpack how friendship breakups can sting just as deeply as romantic ones and explore how these dynamics shift as we grow older. And we’ll draw parallels to iconic celebrity friendship fallouts (51:12)—like Kylie Jenner & Jordyn Woods, Winona Ryder & Gwyneth Paltrow, Will Ferrell & Adam McKay, and Selena Gomez & Francia Raisa—to see how their messy splits mirror our own experiences. Because sometimes, losing a friend can leave a void that’s just as hard to fill.

Brooke Shields reflects on how she made it out alive after becoming the biggest child star of the 1980s. From her controlling mother who set her up to pose nude in Playboy at age 9, to her breakout role playing a child prostitute at age 11, to becoming the biggest model/actor of the decade in the 1980s to raising two daughters, becoming the first big name to de-stigmatize postpartum depression. She looks back at what has changed about the way society sexualizes women and what remains the same.

[CW: child ab*se, SA]

The first time we met the Duggar family was in a one hour special we discuss at (10:25) called “14 Kids and Pregnant Again”, a whimsical look at the day-to-day life of a seemingly loving family. It would go on to evolve 4 more times from 17 Kids and Counting to 18 Kids, 19 Kids its final form, Counting On. We talk about the shiny, glossy side of the show and the sinister undertones of it’s rigid and cult-like nature. Their shows were brought to a screeching halt in 2020 by the most horrifying scandal of Josh Duggar. This is the most grim “Where Are They Now?” the show may ever have, with a look back and how different reality is from how we treated cults in the early 2000s.

We had to drop everything to discuss The Ranch Malibu and its offset, The Ranch Italy. What’s billed as a “luxury wellness retreat” loved by celebrities and regular ol’ rich folk sounds more like a hellscape where you’re also encouraged to lose up to “20lbs in one week!” You get 6 almonds as a snack, hike all day, and that’s just skimming the surface.

Then we head over to the $10K per week ‘Behold Luxury Ayahuasca Retreat’ and its myriad of issues. There was so much to unpack we barely knew where to begin.

It’s the comprehensive review of the lives of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen from childhood to now.

They go through the controversies, including their Rolling Stone cover calling them “America’s Favorite Fantasy” when they were 16 years old to Mary-Kate’s mysterious tie-in to Heath Ledger’s death. We’re here to make sense of their wild legacy.

The Untold Story of Amanda Bynes w/ KP Parker

info@thesonarnetwork.com(The Sonar Network) — Mon, 11 Jul 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Emily and KP Parker sit down to discuss the life and legacy of Amanda Bynes from her start at age 7, to her retirement to now. This conversation goes beyond the results you get when you Google her name and on to a deeper conversation about the way we talk about stars and their legacy vs. mental health. Why do we treat child stars like they’re meant to be frozen in time? Why is so much of the conversation about wearing wigs and getting tattoos when these are things that happen when people are young and finding themselves? Not to mention that male celebrities do this every day without anyone looking twice. Today’s conversation centers around why we’ve chosen certain elements to focus on and the parts of her life and work that don’t get talked about.

It’s a very special bonus episode unlocked from Patreon. We’ve mostly all heard by now about the drama going on in the world of Mormon moms on TikTok. Sammy P and Emily are here for a deep dive to get to the root of it. We take a look at Mormonism as a whole, from its roots to its present-day culture and how one religion can have such a squeaky clean image in the streets and get so collectively freaky in the sheets. From purity culture to swinging, this is a wild one.

And we do get into soaking. And yes, you may want to listen to this one with headphones so as not to perturb those around you.

Why Does Every Celebrity Have a Beauty Brand? w/ Dulma of @iamdulma

info@thesonarnetwork.com(The Sonar Network) — Mon, 09 May 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Emily chats with Dulma Altan, who’s breakdowns of celebrity owned businesses and beauty brands makes business knowledge fun and accessible.

Dulma brings clarity to some questions pop culture lovers have such as:

If celebs have infinite money and resources, why do so many fail? What tips off the consumer that it’s just a cheap cash-grab?
What makes some succeed and immediately recognizable as an authentic labour of love?
Why does every celebrity seem to have a beauty or makeup brand?

They also touch on the business models of GOOP, Kylie Cosmetics and pay respect to Martha Stewart’s empire and legacy.

It’s a meeting of the minds to discuss the many facets of the world of influencers and all its surrounding controversies with two guests covering very different yet overlapping facets of this world.

(6:40) Emily’s intro to Christina Najjar aka Tinx and a quick summary of her recent controversy of her resurfaced tweets from 10 and 2 years ago.

(12:10) Emily and Meredith do a full breakdown and analysis of Tinx; her cult following, why her recent controversy is so significant and the way that it was addressed, and more importantly the many things that remain unaddressed. They talk about the ways they were initially drawn to Tinx platform and their perspective on the PR nightmare that has been her resurfaced tweets, the glossy apology that glazed over acknowledgment of the issue and what our reactions say about our society and ourselves.

(59:05) Emily and Sophie meet to discuss Sophie’s journey from fitness influencer to entrepreneur and mental health advocate. Sophie pulls back the curtain to explain what was really going on in her life through her decade-long journey. She went from a fitness influencer and model to being publicly called out and going through a breakdown only to resurface and launch an innovative mental health app.

What’s the Deal With Scooter Braun? Unlocked from Patreon

info@thesonarnetwork.com(The Sonar Network) — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 06:00:00 +0000

The Scooter Braun content starts at minute (12:20) if you’d like to skip ahead!
This week, from the Patreon archives Emily and Sammy P. deep dive into the infamous world of Scooter Braun, current or former manager of Justin, Bieber, Ariana Grande, Kanye West, Karlie Kloss and many other A-listers. He is also famously the sworn enemy of Taylor Swift.

We discuss his origin story and all the rumors about him being a ruthless and overbearing manager who pushes his artists to the brink.
And of course, we break down the complicated and very public event of him buying Taylor Swift’s masters, leading Taylor to tell her fans to “let him know how they feel about that” aka barrage him with d*ath threats (Taylor’s Version). Many celebrities, including Karlie Kloss, had some choice words about this feud which we break down because, of course.

The Data Behind Modern Relationships & Dating Apps w/ Dr. Aditi Paul

info@thesonarnetwork.com(The Sonar Network) — Mon, 11 Apr 2022 06:00:00 +0000

We’re joined by Dr. Aditi Paul, researcher and professor specializing in online relationships and modern relationships. (5:00) We talk about how the language we use influences how we think about relationships and vice-versa. (8:00) We get into the data behind the confusing term “hooking up” and what it means to different generations. (12:00) We discuss the data behind what Gen Z is actually looking for: meaningless sex, meaningful relationships or somewhere in between? (19:00) We talk about how we pretend to be in online dating profiles vs. how people actually live their lives – ie. everyone pretending to rabidly love hiking when most of us are hobbyless potatoes most of the time. (26:00) I ask her my burning question – how real is Euphoria based on the data?? More specifically, how real is the sex and drug-induced haze that TV portrays for today’s youth? (31:00) Finally, we discuss the #1 dating fear of Gen Z and the lack of progress on the orgasm gap or the differing levels of pleasure that men, women and non-binary folks are getting from their hookups.

We’re joined by Lex Niko to try to make sense of what we all witnessed this past week. First, we get personal and talk about our shared love of all things woo-woo, then (24:50) we get into the topic that got everyone talking – the Oscars. Yes, we share our thoughts on the slap.

(39:50) We also discuss the other notable moments of the night, namely Lauren Zima v. Angus Cloud and Lauren Zima v. Tiffany Haddish, Julia Fox creating a new meme with every word spoken and Beyonce opening the show with new music.

(55:00) We talk about the lack of difference between watching reality tv and pro sports.

(58:00) We talk about our shared favourite show and ask the listeners to take a long hard look at your self in the mirror if you’re not already watching – Summer House.

info@thesonarnetwork.com(The Sonar Network) — Mon, 21 Mar 2022 06:00:00 +0000

Emily and Sam dive deep into the nefarious world of Hillsong, detailing how it went from a trendy celebrity church to shrouded by allegations of scandal, corruption, and systemic abuse.

(2:10) We start off lightly with some chitchat; ranking my past dysfunctional relationships and a shoutout to our listeners in unexpected places. (20:50) Then we explore the origins of Hillsong: an Australian export and their first megachurch. (23:00) We explore its image, looking like a trendy nightclub, turning around the “uncool” image of Christianity and attracting celebs celebs like Justin and Hailey Bieber.

(31:05) We detail all the celebs who are or were once involved in the church; Justin and Hailey, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian Chris Pratt, Vanessa Hudgens, Bono and the Australian prime minister, touching on some blind items about Chris Pratt’s involvement in Hillsong and its dark implications.

(38:00) We discuss Justin Bieber’s questionable and bizarre relationship with leaders Carl Letz and Judas Smith; having no boundaries, Justin temporarily moving in with Carl Lentz. Was Carl Lentz grooming Justin?

(42:10) We discuss their flashy marketing as the “cool hipster church” covering up their subtle conversion therapy operation and Chris Pratt defending their homophobia and include a listener’s bizarre firsthand account of attending a Hillsong women’s conference.

(101:00) Content warning: one member’s claims of SA at the church – (103:15)

(1:04:00) From the ashes of Hillsong, Churchome has risen; who’s on the board of directors of the “newest, coolest celebrity church” including the Kardashians, Ciara, and Lou Taylor and current members Justin and Hailey.

The Justin and Hailey Episode w/ Sammy P

info@thesonarnetwork.com(The Sonar Network) — Mon, 07 Mar 2022 06:10:00 +0000

On this episode of Keeping Up with the Biebers, Emily Rose and Sammy P delve at long last into the murky timeline of Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Bieber’s tryst-turned-marriage. Selena Gomez, much to Hailey’s chagrin, is mentioned throughout because she is, of course, a key player throughout their timeline. We go back to Justin’s roots in humble ol’ Ontario, Canada to talk about the trauma he endured throughout his troubled childhood. It becomes clear this has led him to where he is today, a ‘born again Christian’ but still plagued by rumours of infidelity and mistreatment of his wife, Hailey.

Off the Spiritual Deep End w/ The Zen Blonde

info@thesonarnetwork.com(The Sonar Network) — Tue, 01 Mar 2022 06:06:00 +0000

Lauren of The Zen Blonde and I sit down to gossip about pop culture; but first we spent some time discussing our pursuit of the meaning of life. We talk about our shared history of going off the deep end in our youth and immersing ourselves in spiritual practice for years, emerging with some pretty unique perspectives on our experiences from temporarily becoming a monk to spending weeks on end in silent meditation. I told you we contain multitudes in this house.

Pop culture gossip starts at 38:15
– where we talk about the Royals and their many coverups. We wrap up our thoughts on the season of Euphoria and ask, what is the difference between a tv show like this, porn and art? Is it the intention behind the project that defines it? What are the intentions of show runners Sam Levinson and executive producer Drake? Then, the Kanye of it all. Who decides who is crazy? What makes a label stick to a celeb while others continually get redemption arcs? We talk about celebs who can’t shake off their label of being controversial like Azealia Banks and celebs who should have had that label stick to them longer like Armie Hammer who has bounced back a little too quickly from his cannibalism scandal.

The Kristen and Dax Episode w/ Sammy P

By popular demand, here is our deep dive into one of the most divisive and talked about couples in Hollywood, Dax Shepperd and Kristen Bell. We explore their fights, scandals, why some people love them and why so many people love to hate them.

We ask; is there a difference between twin flames and a couple that just argues constantly? What purpose does “radical honesty” serve? Do they hate each other? More specifically, does Dax resent Kristen? And finally, is Dax’s approach to relationships and communication radically honest or just a rebranded pseudo-psychology version of toxic masculinity?

We analyze the controversy surrounding Call Her Daddy and her controversial guests like Jamie Lynn Spears and Colton Underwood.

Keeping Up With the Kardashian’s Body Modifications; a History of Beauty Standards w/Sammy P

info@thesonarnetwork.com(The Sonar Network) — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 06:00:00 +0000

We take a meandering journey through the different shapes the Kardashians have taken through the ages, both literally and figuratively. We look at the meanings behind the tropes upon which the family has built their career and the ways they are backtracking on that as they remove their BBLs and date tattooed white boys. We explore: • the context of how beauty standards have changed throughout the ages and what that has become today in the age of social media • the ways plastic surgery and beauty trends have gone and which cultures they borrow from • the morals that have been imposed on the debate over whether plastic surgery is valid or not. • pretty privilege • the defense of plastic surgery and exploring its downsides & ways people can become addicted to it References: The Age of Instagram Face: How social media, FaceTune, and plastic surgery created a single cyborgian look by Jia Tolentino
