My new podcast Catch Me If You Ken is No. 1 in all series and No. 12 out of all shows! š Thank you to everyone for listening and most importantly to the sources for sharing their stories. If you havenāt listened yet, itās about an alleged scammer who told victims he was a billionaireās son, a crypto mogul and a tech genius. Victims say he took hundreds of thousands of dollars from themāand made it impossible to trust again.

My new podcast, ALLISON AFTER NXIVM, is out today. In it, Allison Mack shares her story for the first timeāhow she went from child star to cult member in the notorious group run by Keith Raniere, and how she became both a victim and a victimizer in the process. Read about it in Vanity Fair via @janeborden , and listen to episodes 1 and 2 right now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Thank you to my writing partner and executive producer, @vanessagrigoriadis , without whom none of this wouldāve been possible.

Thank you @uproxx for this lovely feature on @femsynthlab ! Feminist Synth Lab is a collective community project I helped start with @kora_db and @sohvie_ at our parent organization @feministcenterforcreativework . None of this would be possible without them, the support of everyone who has come to events, borrowed from the library and led workshops, and most of all, the people who have stepped up to lead Feminist Synth Lab since my tenure: @athleisure999@omiindustriies@neyvathealien@huil0ta and @jeri.bear__ ā¤ļø
We wouldnāt exist without the inspiration of @synthlibraryportland@s1portland@felishaledesma and so many other brilliant folks who donated gear. This is well and truly a group effort, so even if itās just me talking, know that it took a collective!!!
Love to everyone doing similar work to redistribute resources and build the world they want to see, including our friends at @synthlibrarynyc . ā¤ļø

He wasn't loud about it. He didn't have to be.ā
ā
Ken charmed his way into the lives ā and bank accounts ā of women across two continents. A wealthy heir. Crypto dreams. A future that sounded almost too good.ā
ā
It was.ā
ā
But here's the part that will stay with you: getting the money was never his real gift. Disappearing before anyone could prove a thing ā that's what he was actually good at.ā
ā
This week on Chameleon, Josh Dean unravels the story of a man who made women question their own judgment. And also ā don't miss Catch Me if You Ken, the podcast hosted by Natalie and Abukar, who lived this story up close.ā

Catch Him if You Ken drops tomorrow. šļø ā link in bio š§ā

Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Jen Shah was part of a wide-ranging fraud scheme that allegedly defrauded thousands. Our new series, The Rich Utah Wives and Their Scams, investigates Jenās role, how the scam actually worked, and hears from victims who have never shared their story. Out on now Infamous, featuring @thebravodocket@kateaurthur and more!
A decade ago I wrote this @forbes cover story on @kimkardashian . The year was 2016. The eyebrows were big, but Kimās mobile game was bigger. Americaās most famous woman was kicking off her mogul era, and while this game would end up being a flash in the pan, Skims, which she cofounded three years later, would not. Fun fact: this was the origin of the phrase, āNot bad for a girl with no talent.ā
Listen to @uncovergirlpodcast with @beatricehazlehurst this week to get the full story on THIS story, plus bonus rants on the Jacob Elordi style epidemic, how filler is influencing makeup trends, and why hating Timothee and Kylie might just be misogynistic?
Swipe for a bonus pic of me in 2016!!!!

What do Clavicular, incels and Twin Flames all have in common?
This week on Infamous we talk to @alicehines_ , who broke key parts of the Twin Flames Universe story (thatās the Facebook group and alleged cult you may recall from a documentary or two) AND helped bring the term āChadā to the mainstream to find out.

Why did Deepak Chopraās philosophies appeal to Jeffrey Epstein?
This week on Infamous, we talked to @matthew_remski from @conspiritualitypod about Chopraās philosophies and the relationship between the two.
There are hundreds of messages between Epstein and Chopra in the Justice Departmentās āEpstein Library,ā and the pair had frequent contact between 2016 and 2019.
So what was it about Chopraās philosophies that could have appealed to ā or even enabled ā Epstein? Could the eastern philosophical idea of non-duality have been used to justify nefarious behavior?

This week on Infamous, Bridget tells me the story of Angelea Preston, a woman who was initially crowned winner of Cycle 17. But her win never aired. Instead, Tyra and the judges told viewers that Angelea had been disqualified under āunusual circumstances.ā
What really happened is even worse.
