Explicit content warning
02/13/25 • 54 min
In this supersized second half of our coffee-fueled pop culture deep dive with Evita, we’re serving up some spicy tea, Wendy Williams-style. 🎤🔥 Recorded on January 16, 2025 — the same day Wendy called into The Breakfast Club — we break down her iconic moments and shade, especially her fearless takedown of pop culture’s darkest secrets. From Bill Cosby to R. Kelly and Diddy, Wendy was always right about the scandals everyone else was too scared to touch.
We dive into Wendy's unapologetic truth-telling from her radio days and explore the broken system surrounding her conservatorship, comparing it to Britney Spears' battle for freedom. Plus, we revisit her unforgettable interviews with Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, cementing her status as the ultimate entertainment journalist. 🎙️✨
Then, we dive into the chaotic "Whore Economy" of LA and some hot pop culture gossip — from Amanda Bynes and Demi Lovato to Jay Z and Rihanna. We end it all with a deep cut on Oprah’s messy drama in South Africa and missing her unhinged moments, like the time Barbara Streisand painted one of her mics white in a wild early 2000s interview you can find here, narrative by Queen Kathy Griffin.
This episode is pure pop culture madness, a rollercoaster of gossip, empowerment, and everything that makes Wendy Williams the queen of chaos. 👑💄
Disclaimer: Punk-fueled, caffeine-induced gossip. Don’t take us too seriously — except our undying love for Wendy Williams and the chaos she reigns over. 😈☕️
Season Two of #RockStarLife: Coffee Break blasts off with new episodes every Thursday—plus surprise Espresso Shots whenever the cosmos (or my caffeine levels) demand it. 🚀☕✨
Plus! The revolution needs YOU! Ethereal Anarchy: Zenobia Darling's Haunted Revolution Part 1 premiered on November 1st, capturing one of the most profound paranormal experiences I’ve ever had—documented in full, raw, reality-fabulousness. But we have more content, and filmed during the preimere, and now on a mission to make a part two, creating a first of its kind, full length paranormal documentry. Your support on our GoFundMe fuels everything from ghost-hunting gear to our fierce crew, keeping the spooky, queer vibes alive for the next chapter. Every dollar helps us push boundaries, bring the supernatural to life, and, yes—raise the dead!

Naomi’s Scandals, South Africa, and the Jozi Housewives with Evita!" (Part 1)
🔥 Brace yourselves, darlings—this two-part Coffee Break is pure pop culture intellectual chaos. I’m joined by the fabulous Evita, whose life story is a globe-trotting masterpiece: born in Nigeria, raised in Johannesburg, and now thriving in Baltimore. We talked for three straight hours, so here’s Part 1 of our supersized, caffeine-fueled convo.
We kick off heavy: dissecting the ugly truths about Apartheid (it’s not over, kids—Google it or book your trip), the eerie similarities between Baltimore and Johannesburg (creative brilliance with a side of systemic nonsense), and the messy, manipulative media machine (looking at you, CNN and The View). Nancy Pelosi makes a cameo, and we unpack the brewing Real Housewives-style feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Then, we shift gears into full-on pop culture madness:
👑 Martha Stewart is crowned queen.
🕳️ Naomi Campbell’s scandal-filled rabbit hole is dark and impossible to look away from.
💥 Her iconic feud with Tyra Banks gets the roasting it deserves (Tyra’s talk show? Unhinged).
📸 America’s Next Top Model is problematic, chaotic, and endlessly meme-worthy.
🍵 We spill tea on Nicki Minaj vs. Cardi B and Nicki vs. Mariah Carey.
👋 Oprah? We’re over her. Monique? We’re stanning.
And just when you think it can’t get juicier, we wrap with a deep dive into the Real Housewives of Johannesburg and Real Housewives of Lagos: Christall Kay’s theatrics, Evodia and Mercy’s iconic mother-daughter tag team, and the pure chaos of Jozi’s first season—arguably one of the best in the Housewives universe.
⚠️ Disclaimer: This is punk-fueled, caffeine-induced gossip. Don’t take us too seriously—except when we’re worshipping Whitney Houston, Martha Stewart, and chaotic 2000s reality TV gold.
Grab your coffee, throw on some glitter, and join us for the ultimate laugh-filled ride. Part 2 drops next week—prepare yourself.

🚨 #FREEWENDYWILLIAMS Espresso Shot ☕🔥
Recorded on the most gag-worthy day of the year—Valentine’s Day (ugh) 💔—I kick things off with a fiery rant about this capitalist fever dream of a holiday, my Diddy doc binge, and my annual tradition of hating the Super Bowl. Because let’s be real—after Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show and his feud with corny AF Drake, I miss Wendy Williams coming in live from New York, spilling the real tea, and breaking it all down in her iconic, unfiltered style. And speaking of Miss Wendy...
I dive headfirst into TMZ’s latest spectacle, Saving Wendy Williams (dropped 2/12/2025), and honey, I have thoughts. I throw some well-earned shade at Harvey Levin—because let’s be real, TMZ plays the media game with some veryinteresting connections to the White House—but I’ll give credit where it’s due: this doc actually sheds light on Wendy’s devastating situation.
I also break down Kathy Griffin’s legendary war with TMZ post-Trump photo scandal and connect it all to Wendy’s heartbreaking saga. Plus, rewatching Where Is Wendy Williams? after this new doc? Oh, it hits different—like an old-school episode of Intervention—and I spill my theories on what’s really going on with our purple chair queen.
And of course, we can’t talk Wendy without mentioning Britney Spears and the conservatorship mess, because history loves to repeat itself—especially when it comes to powerful women getting trapped in dark-sided guardianships. 😤 But more importantly, I share my hopes for Wendy, because let’s be honest—the world is boring without her in it.
And in between all this chaos? I drop some major life news (yes, it’s big), and I’m taking the next two weeks off from the pod—when I return, it’ll be from my brand new podcast studio. So grab your coffee, throw on something dramatic, and let’s get into it.
