Chapter 1: Why are celebrities demanding privacy?
So if you guys have watched the show for a while now, then you probably know that I like patterns. When I look for things on social media to cover on the show, I like seeing repetition, I like seeing things bubbling up in a grassroots way.
And I think I've talked about my, like, chat that I have with myself before where I just send myself stories and posts from X and TikToks and all of these things that I know are somehow kind of connected but I'm waiting for the stories to come together. And today we have yet another pattern that I have been noticing on social media and more specifically in celebrity culture.
And that pattern would be celebrities and influencers demanding privacy and then berating us for not respecting their boundaries and privacy and then doing the exact opposite and never, ever, ever getting out of our faces. And I am sure because you all are very smart individuals, you know the person that has inspired this episode right now, today.
Obviously, that would be my good old friend, Meghan Markle.
Even though Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as she's wanting us all to call her now, even though she left the royal family, even though they have led the charge on their privacy world tour, they are far from the only public figure who has done this charade, has done this dance of the privacy, and the no, I don't want privacy, and pay attention to me, and you're not paying attention to me, even though I want privacy.
They've fallen into this hypocritical trap of begging for one thing and then doing another, and basically... The public is done. We're saying we're tired. We're seeing through it. We don't care anymore. And that is what we're witnessing with the response of Megan's new show on Netflix.
And like we talked about last month with celebrities and celebrity culture, we are simply unwilling as a society and culture to play their mind games anymore. We are tapped out, we've seen through the facade, we've, you know, the veil has been pulled back, and we're just done. We're seeing hypocrisy for what it is.
And we also need to talk about fame in general and how fame drives people to act this way and what we all, as normal individuals, can learn from it. And to help tell this story and round out this idea, I called up one of the most prolific tabloid reporters and celebrity biographers from the last couple of decades who, guys, I think you will just adore because he is hysterical.
But before we get into this story, if you want ad-free episodes and a weekly advice video for me called Dear Brett. And guys, I wanna let you know that this is the last week that you can order my exclusive launch merch. This is the merch that we just created for the launch of the Brett Cooper Show. It was always gonna be limited, so we are closing out the sale.

Chapter 2: What criticism is Meghan Markle facing for her new show?
Literally, guys, that is what was printed in the New York Times. Dylan Mulvaney dreams of privacy. Really? But also, he has an entire profile in the New York Times about me and a photoshoot inside my house.
And yes, again, please buy my memoir and learn all about my life and my transition from the last couple of years that you guys have also seen on social media because I literally documented my life every single day for multiple years. Like, come on. Like, the charades. Like, just be honest and consistent. It is 2025. People wanting to be famous is not shocking.
People blowing up and becoming viral on social media and becoming influencers is not shocking. That happens every single day. You can just say that you want to be famous. And honestly, I think more people would be on board and kind of respect that. But apparently these people think that you can't say that because just a couple of weeks after that Dylan Mulvaney profile, Casey Anthony.
And yes, it is the same Casey Anthony who was tried and later acquitted in her daughter's murder, which to this day is an incredibly controversial case where most people don't actually believe that this mother is innocent. But you know, all that aside, this is not a true crime podcast. I'm not trying to get into that. That's just what the internet is saying.
Well, after doing God knows what for the last decade since that trial, Casey Anthony was so inspired, maybe I should say enraged by Trump's presidency and everything that he has done this first month in office, that she decided to make a TikTok to create a new public profile and create a sub stack so that she could become, just wait,
an LGBTQ and women's rights activist and hopefully make some change in the world since she has been in the legal field for the last decade. Yeah, that's because you were accused of murder. That is why you are in the legal field. She also said that this was how she was going to reintroduce herself to the public. and hopefully build a career. So again, she is literally becoming public.
She is saying she is going to build this into a career. This is gonna be great for her.
But even though she's doing all of that, even though she made this very huge TikTok that literally got over a hundred million views across all of these different platforms, even though she's creating a sub stack and wants everybody to subscribe to it, she's gonna make all of these videos, she still wants her privacy. Take a listen.
I feel that it's important that I use this platform that was thrust upon me and now look at as a blessing as opposed to the curse that it has been since 2008.
