4.5 out of 5 stars from 33.4k ratings
  • Used to be good, from former Patreon member

    She is checked out, which is fine but maybe do one good episode per week instead of two in a Patreon? I don’t even try listening to interviews, they are the worst. I enjoyed her just catching me up on juicy gossip I don’t have time to read myself. As someone who has seen her shows 3, I am hoping it gets better but it is no longer a must listen for me. I think I she does a good job of staying apolitical so I don’t understand the comments about that.

    I have given Heather the benefit of the doubt as to whether she is MAGA or not. But now that she is proudly supporting Spencer Pratt a MAGA and vehemently Pro-ICE mayoral candidate I will no longer support her. I may be one listener but I hope others understand that these creators can only succeed if they are supported. Don’t support bigots, racists and grifters!
