Jeremy Allen White & Famous Men Who ‘Abandon’ Their Wives
Hosts Laura and Emily are obsessed with a new movie that’s out this week, so we kick things off with a recommendation. And there are two actors, our current It Boys of the moment, Jeremy Allen White from The Bear and Barry Keoghan from Saltburn, who have both been recently accused of leaving their partners and children at the height of their fame. They’re not the first A-List actors to be accused of this, but as we look deeper into the facts, it appears there could be more to this story.
