Trial By Talk Show: When Women are Prosecuted on Live Television

This episode, Stauney and Sadie, dive into the way the media has shaped and often distorted the stories of women in the public eye. We revisit unforgettable talk show moments with Monica Lewinsky, Whitney Houston, Tonya Harding, and Meghan Markle to look at what was really happening beneath the surface. Who controlled the narrative? Who was allowed to be messy, emotional, or complicated, and who was punished for it? From studio audiences to national headlines, we unpack how media framing, cultural expectations, and gender bias influenced the way these women were seen and judged in real time.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
