TRIGGER WARNING: sensitive topics discussed including abuse & sexual assault. Move to minute 24:36 to skip.

In this week's episode, host Maddy McClain takes us all on a rollercoaster of pop culture events and discussions. Starting with a series of strangers sucker punching young women in NYC, Maddy shares her own similar experience.

Next, we break down the serious allegations surrounding P. Diddy, delving into lawsuits including accusations from his ex, Cassie, ranging from manipulation to sexual assault, and the recent federal raid on his homes. Shifting gears, Maddy addresses a concerning incident involving Rebel Wilson and Sacha Baron Cohen during the shooting of 'The Brothers Grimsby,' where Wilson alleges inappropriate behavior by Cohen.
