Chappell Roan’s in the news after being accused of making Jude Law’s 11-year-old daughter cry, so this week we’re diving into the debate around celebrity boundaries vs fan behaviour. Do stars have a right to set limits when it comes to fame? And is the kind of brutal trolling Barry Keoghan has recently spoken out about ever justified? Also on the show: the latest AI publishing controversy, our review of Saturday Night Live UK, the glossy new thriller starring Elizabeth Moss and Kerry Washington, Rose Byrne’s motherhood horror, and a return to the ethics of reality TV after The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette was abruptly cancelled.
