After Work Drinks
Unpacking Megxit
There was plenty to dissect in Hollywood this week, with the Oscar's releasing their embarrassingly middle-aged-white-dude nomination lineup and Harvey Weinstein's trial beginning in New York. Why can't the entertainment industry get a handle on their diversity problem? And why - after more than 80 women levelled accusations at Weinstein - is his trial hinging on the testimony of only two women? Plus, the topic we were desperate to sink our teeth into: Meghan and Harry's shock decision to step away from their 'senior royal' title. We unpack the serious aspects involved - the sexist treatment of MM in the media, for one - but also the most bizarre stories to emerge from 'Megxit', including surprise appearances from Oprah, Jessica Mulroney and Madame Tussauds (?).
And you asked, we answered: This week Grace shares another embarrassing childhood incident involving physical activity.
