Lindsay Clancy, KJ Biermann & RHONY’s Jessel vs. the Kennedys (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on Pop Therapy, I unpack the questions still troubling me about Lindsay Clancy, Reddington's moves and intentions for the next imminent court date, and the online debates surrounding this deeply complex case. I also discuss the disturbing allegations against Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s son, KJ, and the family fallout playing out publicly. Then, we’re back in Bravo territory: Real Housewives of New York, Jessel Taank testing my patience and the OG Housewives reminding us why we fell
Patrick Clancy’s 60 Minutes Interview: Rachel Danis, Public Backlash and What Was Left Out (opens the original)
Read excerpt

But the question at the heart of this case isn’t just whether Lindsay was mentally unwell. It’s al
Hayu, Housewives & Hollywood: Jus Hill Tells All (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week's guest has spent 20 years in the entertainment industry , which means he has interviewed everyone from genuine Hollywood A-listers to reality TV royalty - and, crucially, has lived to tell the tale. Justin Hill is one of those people who has been behind the microphone, on the red carpet and in the room for some of the biggest celebrity moments - and after meeting in person at Hayu FanFest , I knew I needed to get him on Pop Therapy and start asking questions.
