This week, I go solo to address the recent online attacks directed at me from comedians, podcasts, and strangers who seem to think body shaming, age shaming, and promiscuity shaming qualify as entertainment.
But this episode isn't about being offended by jokes. It's about drawing a line between comedy and cruelty and standing up for the people who do not have the platform or thick skin to defend themselves.
I discuss the hypocrisy of people who claim certain topics are off limits while freely mocking appearance, age, sexuality, adult entertainers, LGBTQ+ people, and anyone they believe society will defend the least. We talk about the real consequences of online bullying, why cruelty doesn't become harmless just because it's packaged as a joke, and how public humiliation affects not only the target but entire communities.
This conversation also explores society's obsession with aging women, cosmetic surgery, body count culture, and the double standards that continue to shape how women are judged for their bodies, sexuality, and profession.
Most importantly, this episode is for anyone who has ever been made to feel disposable because of their age, body, identity, profession, sexuality, or past.
You are not the joke.
