The Sleepover Club: The Farce Of #MeToo & Why Abuse Of Power Still Comes As No Surprise

The Sleepover Club: The Farce Of #MeToo & Why Abuse Of Power Still Comes As No Surprise

It's been a grim week, month, and year when it comes to abuses of power in Hollywood. As a string of stories in the past few weeks have been published pertaining to the abuse of women on film and tv sets; Ione and Eden are contemplating the effectiveness of Hollywoods activism. From allegations surrounding Sam Levinson's 'The Idol' production to Jonathan Major's assault arrest and women coming forward with accusations towards Emrata's ex and Uncut Gems producer Sebastian Bear-MclCard - the news cycle, and the state of how women are still being treated in the entertainment industry, is pretty bleak.


In what we're dubbing ‘the allegedly episode’, Ione and Eden are touching upon whatever happened to the Times Up organisation and corporate Hollywood activism, if anti-cancellation discourse is preventing recourse for those that abuse their power, why it feels like a joke when Hollywood tries to portray such narratives on screen, and how we can move forward, while attempting to make change, without losing our minds. TW: sexual assault, abuse.


Order Ione's book, Poor Little Sick Girls, here!
