The Dark Side of Hollywood: Scandals, Survivors, & Utah's Reality with Lauren Skae

In this new bonus episode, Lauren Skae (formerly Zen Blonde) and Celene Beth discuss Jessica Reed Kraus, the Instagram & Substack creator of House in Habit, and her troubling history of harassing sexual assault survivors who speak out against powerful figures in Hollywood. They examine Kraus' role in enabling toxic behaviors, the harm it caused to survivors, and how her actions further traumatized those speaking out, all while hindering the fight for accountability in the industry.

The conversation then turns to Armie Hammer with Lauren sharing how she became involved in the House of Hammer docuseries after covering the actor’s familial scandals on TikTok. She reflects on the emotional toll of the case and the importance of supporting sexual assault survivors along the way.

The episode also touches on controversial figures like Nick Fuentes, whose post-2024 election rhetoric continues to spark fear in SA survivors around the country. Lauren gives her take on Fuentes’ influence in the political and cultural landscape.

Finally, no conversation with Lauren and Celene would be complete without discussing Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, other Utah-based reality docuseries, and what life is really like in Utah!

This episode offers an insightful look at Hollywood scandals, the fight for justice, and the role of pop culture in shaping public perception and narratives!
