The Voyeurism Of Celeb Trials

Hi pals! 

After our interview last week there’s a lot to catch up on. Firstly, rumours of A$AP Rocky cheating on a pregnant Rihanna spread like wildfire and we share our Coachella highlights (and low lights). 

Next, Johnny Depp is taking his ex-wife Amber Heard to trial over her 2018 Washington Post article about violence against women. We chart the couple's relationship and discuss the social commentary around celebrity trials. Jas references a Guardian article titled ‘The OJ Simpson case 20 years later: making 'trials into television' by ​​Lilah Raptopoulos. We also reference this TikTok by Milani Cosmetics.

Speaking of TikTok, user Kimi has begun a conversation around treating your full-time job as a side hustle. “[I’m] considering my full-time job to actually be my part-time job, and life to be my full-time job.” We discuss the evolution of ambition and work post-pandemic and how we’re incorporating this mindset shift into our own lives. Maggie references her article ‘TikTokers Are Treating Their Full-Time Job As A Side Hustle To Live Their Best Lives & I Want In’ forRefinery29 Australia.

We have two movie recommendations this week! Jas recommends the Comedy/ Adventure film ‘The Lost City’ while Maggie recommends the heart-tugging ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once'. She also references her piece on the movie for Refinery29 which you can read here. 

PSA: We’re taking a short break after this week for a couple of weeks! See you on the other side. Love you.
