The Sleepover Club: Why Can't We Leave Britney Alone? Because TikTok Correspondents Are Turning Us All Into Monstrous Tabloid Journalists

Britney Spears is once again the focus point of internet gossip.

No longer is the worst person online Perez Hilton, because millions of us on TikTok are elongating his legacy; using celebrities pain to generate engagement and boost our own profiles. Are we sleepwalking into another nightmare, in which marginalised celebrities are treated with no regard for their wellbeing? Ione and Eden discuss.
