I used to watch the Kardashian’s show just for mindless escape. I will never watch it again nor will I watch anything they are in nor will I buy anything they produce after seeing that disgusting display of Kim in her Nazi tram.

Loved this Laura! It's been so interesting to see the rise of the Kardashians, and now I think we're witnessing the fall. Sure, they'll be okay either way but consumers are definitely over them.

Molly Mae's series might be a good place to start for a potential new show to focus on. It will likely only have six eps in total but it's definitely what people are watching. I wonder if the new Celeb Big Brother might be a good one to follow too? They typically tape up brands so it might be good if you could spot any products!

Laura, how about doing the new Housewives of London when it comes out?

Or Love Island is coming up? (Although I’m pretty over that and BB House now. Feels too staged and that the people aren’t real).

The Kardashians are so out of touch with reality. They still think any press is good press but like you, I’d agree, this period of time in our lives feels different. I’m still able to watch Kylie and Khloe *sometimes* but purely with the knowledge that this is NOT how normal people live. It’s a bit of an escapism.

Talking of misogyny, have you read the book by Laura Bates called Men Who Hate Women 😳 it’s hard hitting but incredible that she brings forward so much accessible knowledge about this subject.

I just came across this article but even months after it all happened, it still sickens me. Thanks for writing about it. It was gross and the divide just seemed so crystal clear and sad. They've reached their billionaire status because of their consumers and they're just proving time and time again, how little they care about others.

Respect for this. She is backing the wrong horse. A war horse.

I don't know anything about the Kardashians. I've never been interested in them so avoid them. We do have a Tesla. I really wouldn't judge people who have them. Most of them are company cars. Personally, we don't have the luxury of being able to afford to change our family car just because we don't like the founder's politics and I'm sure that many Tesla owners are the same.
