Thank you Joshua for speaking so candidly about your experience with sobriety & the road to recovery. It's so important to normalize these conversations & hopefully get to a place where the shame or embarrassment of addiction is removed so people don't have to suffer in silence any longer. Keep fighting the good fight! ♥️
Wow, Heather… this has been one of my all time favorite shows of yours. I am a 60+ year old woman. I grew up in the 70s and we did EVERY and ANY kind of drug/substance.. just anything we could get our hands on. I stopped about 15 yrs ago, with alcohol and everything. Thank you for bringing this man on.. we need more of people like him. Also, I want to point out, like he said, AA isn’t for everyone. I couldn’t do it, but my sister loves it. So we’re all different. I don’t believe in giving up my power.. I will not say that I have no control. Peace ✌🏼
I found this guest fascinating. Having lost my nephew this year (33 years old) to addiction, this story hits close to home. He’d been through rehab multiple times but could not maintain sobriety. He was so gifted and had so much to offer the world. I have great admiration for how your guest is giving back.
@@HandleForElleJay Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful reply. It has been comforting to know that his pain is over. Also, as another family member said at his memorial, we remember him for who he was, not the addiction that imprisoned him.
Live for this time! 2 AM CT helps me get through my night shift! ❤you Heather, stay strong, prayers for you and your fam, and appreciate your consistency. Much love to all my Juicy Scoopers!❤
When you said Kanye's wife is wearing the nylons from the egg, I almost spit out my coffee. I totally forgot about the egg that panty hose used to come in. LOL
I absolutely loved her guest too, he really spoke to how I feel and I needed to hear someone else who felt something other than rehab or the 12 steps works. Everyone is different. 12 steps saves millions it just doesn’t suit me although I agree with a few of their steps
One of the problems with Mila and Ashton’s apology is they did not acknowledge the actual victims of Danny Masterson. They acknowledged “all” victims. Mila seemed extremely annoyed and incensed that they would have to give an apology.
Especially considering they have an anti trafficking company that stops adult sex workers from being able to live their lives . Mila and Ashton are evil and probably do Epstein island type Ish .
I appreciate Heather bringing on a guest to talk about substance abuse. So many people struggle but are too ashamed to talk about it, admit it, or ask for help.
Thank you so much Heather for bringing on Josh and thank you Josh for telling your story. My family was a family of addicts of alcohol and depression etc, it is tough to beat especially if you don't have someone to help you. Good Luck to everyone that struggles everyday with this crap, the brain really needs to be studied more for issues like this.
I think it's good that bosses are being called out. Abuse of power needs to be addressed. Too many people have to deal with it because they are afraid to lose their jobs. It's not right.
Yes. Unfortunately for SOME people, of course not all, now that translates into even correcting a mistake it's attitude from boss and trauma. It's hard to find people now that don't take everything personal tbh
@pqm2012 Yes, of course, there are employees who lie and abuse the system. I think when there are 16 people saying there is a workplace issue, then it's likely there is something wrong going on.
It is my understanding that dannny masterson was sentenced to life in prison and will be eligible for parole in 30 yrs. The way it was worded makes ppl think he got 30, but im pretty sure it’s life
The letters were only just published, after the sentencing. Then they all became public by the judge. At the time they were written, he hadn’t been yet.
@@bluesmama3726 Its kind of dumb to judge and nobody's business. I dont know enough about the case, the people or anything to make a swift judgement about a character letter, especially when they both do great things with Thorn.
@@LeahSessions not accurate, the letters were written after he was convicted, but before he was sentenced. So they were written in order to try to get him less time, for a crime he was already convicted of!
I really appreciate you talking about this topic and related to so much of it. You don't often hear anyone talking about the failure rate of rehab. My son died of an accidental overdose less than 2 months after his 8th trip through rehab and he received no trauma therapy. Trauma was at the heart of his addiction and this is common. The word trauma is not mentioned in 12 step programs. 90% of rehabs are 12 step based . I had no idea about the reality of rehab and AA but it was eye opening, but there is a cult like quality to 12 step programs that you feel you don't dare question it. It is the perfect model too because if it doesn't work, they turn it back on the one struggling with an addiction they are trying to heal. "It works if you work it. You believe it is working for everyone else and wonder what you are doing wrong. Only later did I learn that it was working only for a small vocal minority. I've had all of these thoughts and have never heard anyone else talk about it
I went to many really good Rehabs and was consistently in the rooms of AA yet kept relapsing. Many gave up on me and I even had some people in the rooms bullying me. I kept going to meetings anyway. I finally have year's of sobriety and feel free. It takes as long as it takes. Never Give Up!
I’ve got tears in my eyes and a tight chest, because my nephew is a mad alcoholic drinking destructively. He’s in and out of thinking he should quit. Well, he probably thinks he should quit most of the time, but he’s unable to put it down. Classic struggle trying to quit, rinse and repeat. I really hope and pray he can quit before he gets alcohol poisoning or his life goes to complete crap, or someone else dies. I’ll look into breakthrough recovery and share it with my sister, in case he asks for help. Edit to say thank you for this topic and this guest. I so appreciate you both.
Thank you so much for having Joshua on, my son is alcoholic. I found the information he shared very relatable and helpful. Traditional rehab and AA has not helped my son. Hoping some of Joshua’s ideas will 🥰
As a woman in the construction industry (an office position) crying can happen too. I think a work place with a lot of people/personalities and crap happens in all industries. Entertainment is just a more high profile industry.
"It's really hard cause you lose your voice when you're the addict" "If you lose your voice, no one's listening to you" That hit hard and close to home. 4 years of being sober and still trying to find my voice again.💚
Your guest was fabulous. Very different from any other guest but I really enjoyed it. You did a great job with the interview. I love how you add some of your own experiences and thoughts because it really expands our understanding. Thank you Heather ❤
Heather, this was such an important conversation to have, so thank you. I’ve been watching videos from people filming in places like Kensington Philly, and it’s truly heartbreaking seeing what drugs are doing to humanity. It’s sad that people have to go through so much pain for their addiction. It affects all walks of life.
What are you on about the drugs have always been around. They come and go in cycles. Act like this is the most important conversation ever and we've never had it before. Ok
I totally understand your guests' complaints of prolonged benzo withdrawal. I'm a nurse practitioner, and this is a common thing with those meds (Xanax, Valium, klonipin, ativan). They (benzos) are THE most dangerous meds to take and the WORST to come off of, regardless of cold turkey or not. It's an actual phenomenon to have a second & 3d wave of withdrawal. It can take years until you feel "normal" again. Dr. Jordan B. Peterson also went through the same thing & after years, he's finally feeling better. My elderly mother was put on klonipin at bedtime for years & she didn't understand the consequences. It took me a year to wean her off, but I had to prescribe her a different kind of sleeping pill. Health care providers need to educate people on meds and the consequences!
..and when these seniors go to hospital for other reasons they just suddenly cut them off. I watched it over and over..different hospitals , different doctors until I realized a senior was withdrawing from Xanax each time. When I would point out these awful symtoms, doctors blew me off. I think many seniors are addicted to Xanax because they have , almost casualy, perscribed like drugs for decades. Especially women. And they have no clue theyre addicted. Side note: Now I see generations after..being percribed Adderal and like drugs . (Yes I know sometimes needed.. Im just stating an observation).
Good interview,, Heather. I had a good friend/coworker who moved away and I didn't see her very often. We stayed in contact in emails,etc., and one day she revealed she was detoxing from Xanax and struggling with the withdrawal. I was shocked. Her doctor had her on different meds to supposedly help come off the Xanax, but she ended up killing herself. The note she left for her family said she just couldn't take it anymore, the physical symptoms from the withdrawal were affecting her brain she said. She was 75 years old and never had any issues with alcohol or drugs, but asked her doctor for an antidepressant after she lost her own mother. That started her downward spiral and it lasted several years before she died. She told me one time, don't ever take benzo's. 😢
Sometimes i wonder if the timing is about the studio wanting to replace Fallon with someone they dont have to pay as much. I found it interesting how there were no public complaints about Ellen then suddenly there was a big hate campaign and she was out. Wondering if this is the same strategy to remove him. Not saying that it is not a toxic work place but it will be interesting if they end up replacing Fallon.
Rule number one. Never pay a rehab place if they bill you separately from your insurance. Due to privacy laws, they cannot send you to collections! Will not ruin your credit.
Amy Schumer was being mean but not a “bully”. According to the Anti-Bullying Alliance, bullying is the “repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power.” This was one-off, not repetitive and there isn’t an imbalance of power tilted to Amy’s side. Nicole K is the bigger star.
Another great show Heather . I wish all the best for James Reed it would be great to have him on again after 5 years to see how he is doing and give us an update on how his sobriety is doing.❤
I’m honestly so shocked by the comments from people saying “suck it up” from Jimmy’s staff. Anyone who knows about what goes on in those late night writing sessions knows it’s not a cake walk. Especially if you hear the stories from SNL where jimmy and some of his staff come from. I don’t doubt the place could become quite toxic. I hope jimmy addresses it and makes changes. I don’t think it’s the worst writing room to have ever existed I’m sure some small changes and it would probably be better for everyone. Some things need a headline before they get changed I suppose
Thank you for having The Bravery to cover these stories. I had stopped watching you but now I am back. Keep telling the stories that you told today they need to come out. Someone has to say it! The burden May lie on you unfortunately. Lots of love.
The Jimmy Fallon show sounds like every job I’ve ever had. Doesn’t it make it right but that’s life out in the real world. It sucks and it’s hard. Dog eat dog if you are working in a busy successful establishment even if it’s a bar or an office. Love you Heather!! Amazing show!!!! Laughing my ass off as usual! ❤❤😂😂
Wow, very educating. No wonder my Dr is so careful about prescribing sleep tablets. He told me addiction to benzo is worse than heroin addiction withdrawal. So scary.
Took his youngest son out of the school he’s always been in CONVENIENTLY just as he was losing child support for the oldest to move to Hawaii where child support is…. HIGHEST!! He’s a scam city. He was getting money hustled to him on the low during the conservatorship, he’s just trying to even out the amount of losing it for one son. He was about the money from jump. It’s SICK! I hope her current lawyer slaughters his dignity in court though, she’ll probably still have to pay more if that is what the laws are in Hawaii but how about GET A JOB!!! It’ll be so nice when she doesn’t have to pay & she can do things directly for the kids. Maybe they’ll see the lifeSTYLE they have is because of her.
Thank you for this. We have family that have addictions. It’s hard, he is a good person. I don’t know the name, but I remember there was a celebrity that wrote a book, about AA wasn’t for them. Be well Josh, he is such a kind soul.
I love for my juicy scoop. Heather is a queen and makes me so happy. I’m a stressed out bride this week laying in bed about to face a long day of crazy tasks and what a beautiful moment to myself to just enjoy regroup and get the scoop
I really enjoyed the guest. I agree that the road to sobriety is a very personal thing. What works for one person may not work for another. I will say, however, I don't think an addict can do ANY substance if they want to be sober. Regardless of whether or not they view it as their "problem" substance, Addiction is not specific to a substance. It is a brain disease. Any substance you do will awaken the addict in you. Have to nix it all to really get healthy. I do my own version of AA. It isn't all for me, and I am ok with that.
Heather, Thank you so much for my birthday cameo. I was shocked and so happy when you wished me a happy birthday and gave me some juicy scoop. I hope I get to eat some fancy food on tiny plates at some rich persons house today. You are so lovely, thank you very much. -Lindsey and Kris
Loved this guest, love the content. Something new and I think important to talk about. It was a really nice surprise to get a different type of guest. I disagree with peoples comments about the guest being scattered in his thoughts. I think he did a really good job.
The kiss is about a history of entitlement and believing you're allowed. Perhaps the whole thing has been magnified but there are reasons for it. Bet won't happen again.
I'm a care worker, and at times I feel like I walk on egg shells with other colleagues and my management, then other days its all good and lovely, isnt that just being a human?. The only difference is, if their was a thought someone might be drunk/drinking, we'd have to report that, but i think that should be in any job.
A crying room? I live in the real world and I've had some awful eff'ed up jobs but there was no crying room available. Life is hard, suck it up Hollywood folks. No body is forcing these people to work these jobs.
Benzodiazepines are most definitely one of the most detrimental and dangerous prescriptions drugs. Most people have no idea. I’m happy and relieved for you, you were able to find your way out and through. ❤
Thank you!!!!! 100 thousand percent. She is a rapist and to be supporting or excited is gross. If she were a man, it would be a 180 reaction from the public and very likely not a Netflix movie with giant stars
If you are working a program for freedom from any addiction it’s important to be honest. ‘Let’s not and say we did’ … doesn’t work. Because if you aren’t honest about breaking your sobriety … you won’t stop. I should say in my humble experience … and I’ve had a lot … this is almost always the case. 🙏🏼
Remembering the phd process and all the tears that go into putting years of work into your research to have a self intersted supervisor tell you what you did was not close enough to hers, start over. I think anyone who puts their creativity into their job understands the tears. It all comes from the heart.
Wow Heather, this interview was so good. I've been in his shoes myself! Mental health is no joke! Like Dr. Drew says, brains get sick like other parts of our body! Wonderful podcast, as always! ❤❤❤
Just a point: there were plenty more accusers in the Masterson rape(s) trial. The statute of limitations had run out in many of the cases because he had "only" raped the women by drugging them or by using coercive control. They could only go to trial with 3 of the cases because they had evidence of him using force (violence) in the rapes and therefore the crimes had a longer statute of limitations.
Heather you look smashing - I have listened to your audiobook probably five times while driving on trips. I could listen to your stories over and over again they’re so real and relatable.
That 2nd part of the reunion didn't even seem real. Its like if you forced AI to watch every past Housewives reunion, and then asked it to generate its own. What we watched would be the product of that.
They actually separated and she got cancer and conned him into to coming back to her. She would never admit what she did was wrong. But when she was dying it seemed he started to grasp he was groomed.
RE the kiss in Spain - the woman who got kissed did not care, she joked about it later and the next day in one radio program she said she didn't really liked it but was not a big deal. And then the pressure came from other team members who wanted to get rid of this guy before and then feminists and politicians in Spain so she got worked up into this. It's so insane for us who live here seeing it how it played out and how media created a victim along the way. Not that what he did is not wrong but its also Spain, people kiss here and a "pico" (kiss in the lips) you often see in male soccer or as a joke in tv programs and no one says a thing...
I had that thought... the kiss was so incredibly brief and the reaction was so over the top that I thought the kiss stood in for something else... similar to prime minister Justin Trudeau and his elbowgate
I had to look up benzo and it scared me. I lost my father and husband within 3 months of each other. I lived on valium and wine for nearly a year. It dulled my misery and prolonged it simultaneously, yet I’m not sure if I could’ve made through without it.
I think it’s messed up Masterson got life (not because it’s harsh, the punishment fits the crime) but because so many do not! It’s a crazy world we live in.
If Ashton would’ve not lied to the cops and said he wasn’t there he just said he looked through the window if he would’ve called the cops when he walked in that house and saw her they might’ve caught that killer before he killed again and he did kill two other people afterwards Also he went to a party afterwards yeah real nice guy if you wanna know who I got my information from it was the channel growing up in Scientology you can hear it all there
A conspiracy around Ashton is probably not going anywhere. When accused of a horrible crime, family members will still reach out to people who knew them in a different relationship to talk about the person they knew. It's done on the regular. It may or may not be a good idea. It's of little or no weight in a trial if the person is guilty of the crime they are accused of.
Can you do a short, edited edition too though love your channel? Thank you for sharing. I m from UK and during lockdown loved his home, family podcast and his zooms, especially singing with the Roots. Imo. Then I look at his show and thought it was entertaining though found my favourite with Conan O'Brien. ❤👵🇬🇧
Heather I think ( notice I still am unsure) but deep down I KNEW I was making mistakes before both of my weddings- pathetic but those who call off weddings r sooooooooo BRAVE and we need to start applauding cancelled weddings and as a guest I’d say don’t worry about reimbursement
I think Lindsay is trying to get deals like Arianna. The new habits with Bravo to pick back up cameras and all the Bravolebritits want this claim to fame of how on their show the cameras went back up! Now it's the new normal apparently.
A lot to unpick here but very very interesting and affects so many individuals and families. Well done Heather for discussing this and asking the questions we would ask.
I am a retired RN. You can’t imagine how Doctors, people in power would scream at, demean us on the job in the OR especially cause the pts were “asleep” and even in the open in front of patients. It’s part of all work places. People in power usually abuse their power It was bad but I must say I became stronger, tougher because of it. I wasn’t going to let a few assholes ruin my great job for me. You learn to navigate around said assholes. There are plenty of really wonderful Drs too.
I'm an RN in the OR (21 years)- it's such a toxic environment but I love the work. It makes some stronger and, unfortunately, turns some into assholes just like the assholes before them. I hope you're enjoying every minute of you retirement🥳
I stand with Jimmy Fallon. Entertainment busness is not an easy job. Thse people are coming out and publicly dragging him for being a human in a highly stressful job. They suck.
Note to producers: please show the screen when the guest or Heather are pointing something out as a visual reference because we can see them pointing but never see the screen.
Yes please !!
I think Peter is the producer.
This has always been a problem
Love u Peter, but stop with the camera❤

WHO on earth witnesses a horrific crime scene and walks away to enjoy oneself at a party??!!!! That says ALOT about one’s true character 😮.
I think it’s hard to judge- addiction is a horrible disease .

"If you lose your voice, no one's listening to you"
That hit hard and close to home. 4 years of being sober and still trying to find my voice again.💚

That started her downward spiral and it lasted several years before she died. She told me one time, don't ever take benzo's. 😢
Great interview. It’s such an important topic to address these days. Thanks Heather.
Sometimes i wonder if the timing is about the studio wanting to replace Fallon with someone they dont have to pay as much. I found it interesting how there were no public complaints about Ellen then suddenly there was a big hate campaign and she was out. Wondering if this is the same strategy to remove him. Not saying that it is not a toxic work place but it will be interesting if they end up replacing Fallon.
MY FIRST EXACT THOUGHT.... A TAKE DOWN
.
And heather is right there first in line. Is heather a nightmare?
Ooooh very good point,, u might be right
Rule number one. Never pay a rehab place if they bill you separately from your insurance. Due to privacy laws, they cannot send you to collections! Will not ruin your credit.
Amy Schumer was being mean but not a “bully”. According to the Anti-Bullying Alliance, bullying is the “repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power.” This was one-off, not repetitive and there isn’t an imbalance of power tilted to Amy’s side. Nicole K is the bigger star.

Flat tire on the freeway, waiting for roadside assistance listening to Juicy Scoop 😎 Thank you Heather!!
The average addict and there family do not have the money or ability to hire a 24 sober coach for an extended amount of time
I know but can they afford rehab? A sober solo person could be less in some cases. Just a thought, not saying I’m correct
Another great show Heather . I wish all the best for James Reed it would be great to have him on again after 5 years to see how he is doing and give us an update on how his sobriety is doing.❤
I agree!
Just gotta say my husband works in construction and if you think people aree always kind and courteous on the construction site 😂
I’m honestly so shocked by the comments from people saying “suck it up” from Jimmy’s staff. Anyone who knows about what goes on in those late night writing sessions knows it’s not a cake walk. Especially if you hear the stories from SNL where jimmy and some of his staff come from. I don’t doubt the place could become quite toxic. I hope jimmy addresses it and makes changes. I don’t think it’s the worst writing room to have ever existed I’m sure some small changes and it would probably be better for everyone. Some things need a headline before they get changed I suppose
Joshua Reed, thank you. And thank you for this interview. ❤
What an interesting interview. Thank you for helping inform us about this issue.❤
Such an honest interview with Josh ! Keep going Josh ❤ you should be so proud of yourself overcoming your addiction .
Thank you for having The Bravery to cover these stories. I had stopped watching you but now I am back. Keep telling the stories that you told today they need to come out. Someone has to say it! The burden May lie on you unfortunately. Lots of love.
Thank you, I will
This will always be my favorite podcast ❤
The Jimmy Fallon show sounds like every job I’ve ever had. Doesn’t it make it right but that’s life out in the real world. It sucks and it’s hard. Dog eat dog if you are working in a busy successful establishment even if it’s a bar or an office. Love you Heather!! Amazing show!!!! Laughing my ass off as usual! ❤❤😂😂
I know... so true !!!!!!!

Wow, very educating. No wonder my Dr is so careful about prescribing sleep tablets. He told me addiction to benzo is worse than heroin addiction withdrawal. So scary.
Took his youngest son out of the school he’s always been in CONVENIENTLY just as he was losing child support for the oldest to move to Hawaii where child support is…. HIGHEST!! He’s a scam city. He was getting money hustled to him on the low during the conservatorship, he’s just trying to even out the amount of losing it for one son. He was about the money from jump. It’s SICK! I hope her current lawyer slaughters his dignity in court though, she’ll probably still have to pay more if that is what the laws are in Hawaii but how about GET A JOB!!! It’ll be so nice when she doesn’t have to pay & she can do things directly for the kids. Maybe they’ll see the lifeSTYLE they have is because of her.
Thank you for this. We have family that have addictions. It’s hard, he is a good person. I don’t know the name, but I remember there was a celebrity that wrote a book, about AA wasn’t for them. Be well Josh, he is such a kind soul.
Juicy scooping right on time 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love for my juicy scoop. Heather is a queen and makes me so happy. I’m a stressed out bride this week laying in bed about to face a long day of crazy tasks and what a beautiful moment to myself to just enjoy regroup and get the scoop
Really great show Heather!! I loved the interview!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I really enjoyed the guest. I agree that the road to sobriety is a very personal thing. What works for one person may not work for another. I will say, however, I don't think an addict can do ANY substance if they want to be sober. Regardless of whether or not they view it as their "problem" substance, Addiction is not specific to a substance. It is a brain disease. Any substance you do will awaken the addict in you. Have to nix it all to really get healthy. I do my own version of AA. It isn't all for me, and I am ok with that.
Heather,
Thank you so much for my birthday cameo.
I was shocked and so happy when you wished me a happy birthday and gave me some juicy scoop. I hope I get to eat some fancy food on tiny plates at some rich persons house today. You are so lovely, thank you very much.
-Lindsey and Kris
Loved this guest, love the content. Something new and I think important to talk about. It was a really nice surprise to get a different type of guest. I disagree with peoples comments about the guest being scattered in his thoughts. I think he did a really good job.
Great interview!! Thanks Heather ❤️❤️
Great topic and great guest Heather
Excellent guest/topic
Some reports say Mary L started having x when he was 12. She was his 6th grade teacher.
Thank you Joshua for speaking out about addiction. ❤
The kiss is about a history of entitlement and believing you're allowed. Perhaps the whole thing has been magnified but there are reasons for it. Bet won't happen again.
I'm a care worker, and at times I feel like I walk on egg shells with other colleagues and my management, then other days its all good and lovely, isnt that just being a human?. The only difference is, if their was a thought someone might be drunk/drinking, we'd have to report that, but i think that should be in any job.
A crying room? I live in the real world and I've had some awful eff'ed up jobs but there was no crying room available. Life is hard, suck it up Hollywood folks. No body is forcing these people to work these jobs.
No. No No no
In the old days, the bathroom was the crying room
Benzodiazepines are most definitely one of the most detrimental and dangerous prescriptions drugs. Most people have no idea.
I’m happy and relieved for you, you were able to find your way out and through. ❤
Great episode as always but wish you would use the proper terminology for Mary K L. She didn’t get pregnant; she raped a child twice.
Thank you!!!!! 100 thousand percent. She is a rapist and to be supporting or excited is gross. If she were a man, it would be a 180 reaction from the public and very likely not a Netflix movie with giant stars
If you are working a program for freedom from any addiction it’s important to be honest. ‘Let’s not and say we did’ … doesn’t work. Because if you aren’t honest about breaking your sobriety … you won’t stop. I should say in my humble experience … and I’ve had a lot … this is almost always the case. 🙏🏼
Very true
I'm not there yet, what was said for you to respond like that??
Remembering the phd process and all the tears that go into putting years of work into your research to have a self intersted supervisor tell you what you did was not close enough to hers, start over.
I think anyone who puts their creativity into their job understands the tears. It all comes from the heart.
Wow Heather, this interview was so good. I've been in his shoes myself! Mental health is no joke! Like Dr. Drew says, brains get sick like other parts of our body! Wonderful podcast, as always! ❤❤❤
I’m not a Fallon fan but this Rolling Stone piece is laughable and absolutely embarrassing! I hope Fallon ignores it.
Seriously, just about every employer I have ever had has had bad days.
I hope you get a chance to experience work he11 that gives people heart attacks.
Joshua was an excellent guest with so much important information. Thanks to both of you!
Just a point: there were plenty more accusers in the Masterson rape(s) trial. The statute of limitations had run out in many of the cases because he had "only" raped the women by drugging them or by using coercive control. They could only go to trial with 3 of the cases because they had evidence of him using force (violence) in the rapes and therefore the crimes had a longer statute of limitations.
Great interview with Joshua! So important.
Heather you look smashing - I have listened to your audiobook probably five times while driving on trips. I could listen to your stories over and over again they’re so real and relatable.
@@TeamJustin666 as Andy says “with a due” - I disagree.
That 2nd part of the reunion didn't even seem real. Its like if you forced AI to watch every past Housewives reunion, and then asked it to generate its own. What we watched would be the product of that.
Are you gonna talk about the whole ashton and mila pr fiasco?
I did. Did you listen
@JuicyScoop sorry😂 I'll give it a re listen then
They actually separated and she got cancer and conned him into to coming back to her. She would never admit what she did was wrong. But when she was dying it seemed he started to grasp he was groomed.
RE the kiss in Spain - the woman who got kissed did not care, she joked about it later and the next day in one radio program she said she didn't really liked it but was not a big deal. And then the pressure came from other team members who wanted to get rid of this guy before and then feminists and politicians in Spain so she got worked up into this. It's so insane for us who live here seeing it how it played out and how media created a victim along the way. Not that what he did is not wrong but its also Spain, people kiss here and a "pico" (kiss in the lips) you often see in male soccer or as a joke in tv programs and no one says a thing...
If someone kisses me without permission i would whoop they ass.
I had that thought... the kiss was so incredibly brief and the reaction was so over the top that I thought the kiss stood in for something else... similar to prime minister Justin Trudeau and his elbowgate
Benzos and alcohol are the only 2 things that can kill you when going through withdrawal from them. What he did was super dangerous but good for him.
I had to look up benzo and it scared me. I lost my father and husband within 3 months of each other. I lived on valium and wine for nearly a year. It dulled my misery and prolonged it simultaneously, yet I’m not sure if I could’ve made through without it.
@@IndiGeaux I'm glad you had it when you needed it.
A.A. is free... California sober means you aren't sober.
That scene where Drew sings to Ralph was the most embarrassing thing I've seen on TV 🤣
I think it’s messed up Masterson got life (not because it’s harsh, the punishment fits the crime) but because so many do not! It’s a crazy world we live in.
If Ashton would’ve not lied to the cops and said he wasn’t there he just said he looked through the window if he would’ve called the cops when he walked in that house and saw her they might’ve caught that killer before he killed again and he did kill two other people afterwards Also he went to a party afterwards yeah real nice guy if you wanna know who I got my information from it was the channel growing up in Scientology you can hear it all there
Why doesn’t Kevin get a job to help support the boys himself?
A conspiracy around Ashton is probably not going anywhere. When accused of a horrible crime, family members will still reach out to people who knew them in a different relationship to talk about the person they knew. It's done on the regular. It may or may not be a good idea. It's of little or no weight in a trial if the person is guilty of the crime they are accused of.
Can you do a short, edited edition too though love your channel? Thank you for sharing. I m from UK and during lockdown loved his home, family podcast and his zooms, especially singing with the Roots. Imo. Then I look at his show and thought it was entertaining though found my favourite with Conan O'Brien. ❤👵🇬🇧
It’s crazy when you notice how long Heather’s arms are 😮
Please send you complaint to God
Lol Heather didn’t mean it as an insult just an observation
Heather I think ( notice I still am unsure) but deep down I KNEW I was making mistakes before both of my weddings- pathetic but those who call off weddings r sooooooooo BRAVE and we need to start applauding cancelled weddings and as a guest I’d say don’t worry about reimbursement
I think Lindsay is trying to get deals like Arianna. The new habits with Bravo to pick back up cameras and all the Bravolebritits want this claim to fame of how on their show the cameras went back up! Now it's the new normal apparently.
Good stuff Heather! Thank you for the information.
Go jimmy. You’re human not a nightmare. I love you both.
Good to see I was not the only one that thought the guest “expert” was full of it.
A lot to unpick here but very very interesting and affects so many individuals and families. Well done Heather for discussing this and asking the questions we would ask.
I am a retired RN. You can’t imagine how Doctors, people in power would scream at, demean us on the job in the OR especially cause the pts were “asleep” and even in the open in front of patients. It’s part of all work places. People in power usually abuse their power
It was bad but I must say I became stronger, tougher because of it. I wasn’t going to let a few assholes ruin my great job for me. You learn to navigate around said assholes. There are plenty of really wonderful Drs too.
As an RN it’s not just the doctors!! There are many toxic work environments women have to endure !!!
@@ClaudiaZa yes! Every workplace.
I'm an RN in the OR (21 years)- it's such a toxic environment but I love the work. It makes some stronger and, unfortunately, turns some into assholes just like the assholes before them.
I hope you're enjoying every minute of you retirement🥳
@@thebigleanneski I sure am!
Just awful.
Good morning Juicy Scoopers ,from Canada.
Good morning from Florida.Hope you have a great day.
Three am I’m in, but then later I’m like damn, I already watched it Love heather
Same here.
Wow I feel like your minimizing this behavior. Just because a job is ooveted doesnt mean employees should accept abuse. Spoiled Star Bosses.
I stand with Jimmy Fallon. Entertainment busness is not an easy job. Thse people are coming out and publicly dragging him for being a human in a highly stressful job. They suck.
What an interesting interview. I would like to know if he had any withdrawal symptoms from Adderall or if he just continued to take that to manage.
Great guest. Have a good week, Heather.💖😊
