The Real Story Behind The New Billie Eilish Outrage

On the show today…

Following on from allegations made by fashion designer Michael Costello, where he alleged that Chrissy Teigen had tormented him to the point of suicide, singer Leona Lewis has now weighed in on the story. The musician alleges that Michael bullied her at a fashion show and refused to dress her because of her size. The responses and allegations are now coming thick and fast, but we also need to look at how and why this is playing out in the public eye.

And former UK and US X-Factor judge Louis Walsh has spoken about his experience of working on the franchise alongside Britney Spears and he paints a disturbing picture of her health and situation behind the scenes. But aside from genuine concern, there’s also a more sinister reason why he chose to tell this particular story.

Plus, Billie Eilish is facing accusations of queerbaiting in her latest music video and Instagram posts. And she’s not the first celebrity to be part of this conversation.
