Celebrities, athletes, politicians, influencers and even royalty can all land in the firing line.

Why does it matter? Because we invest in them.

We give them space in our homes, our budgets, our feeds, and sometimes, our hearts. We put them on pedestals. So when they fall, we want the truth. But in an age of AI-generated "evidence", misinformation, and unqualified newsfluencers, separating fact fr... more

    Anoushka’s hate on Taylor swift is literally so uncalled for. Enough is enough she’s not on trial. Quit speaking out of turn on things you don’t know.

  • Not the best journalism

    I enjoyed the P Diddy trial updates but the baldoni-lively podcast showcased a low level of journalism. It’s OK if you are clear you are just an entertainment podcast I guess… Presenting baldoni’s arguments but not his evidence, and countering them with Lively’s un-evidenced claims from 11 months ago is poor and deceiving. The next episode is going to showcase her response - here’s hoping you’ll also counter it with 11 months of facts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

D4vd on trial, Witnesses to take the stand
Q: With a preliminary hearing, how is it not biasing a potential jury pool when they lay out the evidence to determine if the case should go forward?
The speakers explain that although press and public access can influence perceptions, the selection process includes voir dire and peremptory challenges to mitigate bias, and the core standard is whether there is probable cause for the case to proceed.
Diddy’s leaked tape controversy and the appeal to overturn his sentence
Q: Why is there so much debate about using acquitted conduct at sentencing?
Because it can undermine the jury's verdict and lead to harsher penalties for conduct the jury explicitly did not find proven, raising concerns about fairness and the integrity of the trial process in the federal system.
Diddy’s leaked tape controversy and the appeal to overturn his sentence
Q: Sean, what does 'acquitted conduct' actually mean in layman's terms?
Acquitted conduct refers to actions a jury found not guilty of, which a judge cannot punish directly, but in federal sentencing, a judge may still consider those actions when determining the overall punishment, creating a potential mismatch between the jury verdict and the sentence.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settle lawsuit
Q: What do you think of that joint settlement statement?
Sean Kent says it was nuanced and carefully worded, crafted to avoid committing either side to public discussion while signaling resolution.
D4vd charged with murder after Celeste Rivas Hernandez case update
Q: Can you explain the difference between a grand jury indictment and a preliminary hearing in California?
In California, the grand jury can indict after hearing presented evidence in a secret proceeding, while a preliminary hearing is a public proceeding where the defense can question the state's case; both serve to determine whether there is probable cause to move forward to trial, but the grand jury process is private and the preliminary hearing is public.
