Stephen Gately: The Sun exposé & the SHAMELESS Homophobia of the Tabloids.

EP 8: Today's case study unpacks the life of late Boyzone star Stephen Gately and his shocking treatment by the British tabloids. From The Sun’s threat to expose his sexuality to the deeply controversial Daily Mail column published by Jan Moir just days after his untimely death, we look at how the press turned a private life and a personal tragedy into a public spectacle.

Why was Stephen made to feel he had something to hide, and how did a column published in the wake of his death spark such widespread outrage?

Jess and Joey also share their thoughts of the Tate brother's shameless confession and the fans doing push-ups outside the prison in support of Top G.
