  • The brutal truth about money, power, and relationships
  • Her rise as an accidental influencer on TikTok and how she exposes the industry’s biggest scams
  • The unspoken truth about money and power in relationships—"Whoever makes the gold makes the rules"
  • Paris Fashion Week, walking for L’Oréal, and the moment she finally felt worthy
  • The moment she realized celebrities like Blake Lively and Jennifer Lopez are playing an outdated PR game
  • The future of media, reality TV, and why she refuses to fake it
  • How she became the blueprint for celebrity liquor deals (before George Clooney and Ryan Reynolds cashed in)
  • Fake designer bags, "cringe" reality TV, and why she refuses to play along with the new wave of inauthenticity
  • The real reason she sold Skinnygirl (and why she fought to keep the intellectual property)
  • Why Lisa Rinna texted her mad about her brutal review of Harry Hamlin’s tomato sauce
