Top Episodes Quotes
- “So now I fear we've unleashed a lot of confusion, for which I deeply apologize.“ by Anna Wintour
- “But when Kim Kardashian came out, Volta in particular, reported that the booing was very loud, very intense, and very angry. Like, they were saying that the mood in the room completely shifted and that she was trying to hide it, but she looked quite visibly angry and kind of thrown off by it.“ by Laura Brodnick
- “So Kim Kardashian probably felt like she had to address the sex tape thing, even though it was, like, 20 years ago, because people bring it up. So she brings it up first, actually, this is the bit that should be making headlines.“ by Laura Brodnick
