She hates anyone who is a republican or a Christian. She has no tolerance for them or interest in discussing an opinion different than hers. And she mentions these options in one form or another multiple times in each show. So just know that going into this
Saying on a public platform that Amanda has an unhealthy relationship with food is so inappropriate and weird. Just irresponsible journalism. Also it’s pronounced “ee-von” not ya-von, and it’s Georgina not Georgiana. Sloppy work.
The level of hate that Amanda is receiving from the west scandal is over the top! I’d love to see people put all this energy towards the release of the Epstein files instead !
Aside from Mandy’s voice feeling like a maternal hug I appreciate how grounded her takes are. And if “critical” it’s a perfect balance of honesty and kindness. I think diplomacy is really important and rare current day especially with bravo podcasts that are meant for escapism and I feel like Mandy is very diplomatic in her analysis and feelz should it relate to sensi contemporary topics. Is this real life is a very warm hug 🤗
You can’t state that someone has an eating disorder. Would you like it if someone spoke about your body and looks? Completely insensitive and cruel. And you want a kind review? Ok
