If you’re a real Bravo fan, you’re likely already privy to the latest situation surrounding Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member Jen Shah, who was widely seen as the “villain” after the show’s debut season, following several unhinged outbursts and threats of violence against her fellow cast members.

If you’ve been following pop culture for the past decade, you likely know by now that no one controls their images more closely than the Kardashians.

TRIGGER WARNING: The following article contains references and details surrounding rape, sexual violence, cannibalism, and more.  In case you haven’t heard by now—or simply saw a tweet vaguely referencing “cannibalism” and scrolled past—actor Armie Hammer has been accused of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse by multiple ex-girlfriends and anonymous women he allegedly met on Instagram. (I’m somewhat surprised by how many people apparently haven’t heard of Armie Hammer, so to be clear, his most—and only—notable films include The Social Network and Call Me By Your Name, if that helps ring a bell.)  The allegations are extremely dark, disturbing, and ugly, and should be treated with the utmost seriousness.  Here’s the part where I remind you that this is not “kink-shaming,” unlike what some recent headlines may suggest.

Content warning: This article may be triggering for people who have struggled with eating disorders.

If you’ve noticed an influx in influencers “giving away” hilariously expensive, random things (like Pelotons and Hyundais) via Instagram giveaways lately, you probably have some questions.
