**WME Asking Justin Baldoni For MONEY?? Kate Gosselin Is Evil, The Golden Life Thoughts & More**
Grab your coffee, because today's episode is a LOT. 👀☕
First up: the Justin Baldoni saga takes another wild turn. WME is reportedly coming after Baldoni for money?? After everything that went down with the agency, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds, I have questions, and I'm breaking down what this could mean for his case.
Then we're getting into Kate Gosselin. With Collin's memoir out and the allegations he's sharing about his childhood, I'm giving my honest (and very unfiltered) opinion on Kate, how she's responded, and why I can't look at Jon & Kate Plus 8 the same way.
Plus, my thoughts on The Golden Life, and a few other stories you've been asking me about in the comments.
Let me know what YOU think below. Team Baldoni or not? Has your opinion of Kate changed? 👇
