Behind the ‘Circle of Shame’: I worked at Heat magazine in the 00s

Behind the ‘Circle of Shame’: I worked at Heat magazine in the 00s

This week, we’ve been examining the role that nurture played in building our relationships with our bodies - and specifically the role played by the tabloid media of the 90s and 00s.


To really understand how that seismic impact the tabloids had on us - we had to speak to someone who knew how they work from the inside - that’s where Isabel comes in...


Isabel is a writer who started her career in era-defining journalism, most notably at Heat magazine during its mid-noughties peak - where she contributed, alongside a huge team of people, to some of the most iconic features of that time… including The Circle of Shame.


Em spoke to Isabel to find out what it was like working at a magazine that focused so heavily on women’s bodies, the effect it had on her - and how she feels about it now looking back on that time.
