In this week's episode of Easily Entertained, your host and pop culture sherpa, Maddy McClain dives deep into the 'Reality Reckoning' discussing the psychosocial elements and the impact of reality TV on its viewers and stars.
We follow Bethenny Frankel, former Real Housewife of New York who is leading the charge for a deeper look into the handlings of reality TV stars & production. From the Vanity Fair exposé to the recent ABC special, she and other costars are sharing their experiences in hopes to create a safer workplace.
From there, we're discussing the influence of reality TV, the exploitation of reality TV stars and debates the hints of a potential unionization for reality stars, including those from Vanderpump Rules, Love is Blind, Bachelor and more.
Of course, a bit of pop culture news & tidbits alongside the usual unpretentious, humor of being Easily Entertained.
Enjoy homies!
