    This week on The Bubble Chat, we’ve got a lot to unpack — and we’re doing it while also celebrating ✊🏽 Juneteenth happening this week! Let’s continue to honor Black freedom, joy, and resistance while keeping it all the way real.

    Here’s what’s on the rundown:

    🚨 Jared Leto is under fire with allegations of inappropriate behavior involving minors. We get into what’s being reported and why this can’t be brushed under the rug.

    🏋🏽‍♀️ Simone Biles claps back at anti-trans activist Riley Gaines — and she’s not here for the nonsense.

    🤖👔 Are Elon Musk and Donald Trump in a quiet feud? We’re side-eyeing the drama behind the scenes and what this billionaire tension could mean.

    🎤 Miley Cyrus shares that she wasn’t allowed to perform Hannah Montana songs after the show ended — and how she’s officially turned the page on her Disney past.

    🎭 Mindy Kaling is taking a break from acting and opening up about the real struggles of the entertainment industry — we’ve got thoughts.

    🏳️‍⚧️ We also take it back to Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade’s powerful 2023 NAACP Image Awards speech about fighting for trans rights and protecting Black trans youth.

    🎉 Plus, don’t forget — Juneteenth is this week, and we’re holding space to recognize the legacy, resilience, and joy of Black communities across generations.

    In this episode of The Bubble Chat, we’re unpacking some headlines that have everyone talking — and not always for the right reasons:

    💔 Adrianna Smith’s Tragic Case — We take a moment to talk about the heartbreaking story of Adrianna Smith, a woman who is currently brain dead while pregnant. We reflect on the ongoing conversations around medical ethics, women’s rights, and how her family is navigating this impossible situation.

    • (UPDATE 6/21:Adrianna Smith was removed from life support shortly after giving birth to her baby through a C-section a few days ago. From all of us at The Bubble Chat, we send our heartfelt condolences to her loved ones during this difficult time.)

    💞 Victoria Monét x Stormzy? — Victoria finally opens up about her private relationship with Stormzy, and we’re here for the soft launch and honest energy. We discuss what this means for her fans and how both artists have kept it chill behind the scenes.

    🎭 Patti LuPone Walks It Back — The Broadway legend issued an apology after comments surfaced that many found dismissive toward powerhouse performers Kecia Lewis and Audra McDonald. We dive into what was said, how she responded, and why words (especially in the theater world) carry weight.

    🚫 Vanessa Bryant Says Nope. — Once again, people are spreading pregnancy rumors — and Vanessa Bryant is not having it. We touch on the importance of respecting people’s boundaries and why these types of stories can be so damaging, especially after all she’s endured. 🙅🏽‍♀️

    🔥 Jamie Foxx Throws Shade at Diddy — Yes, that clip. Jamie Foxx may have had the room laughing, but fans are wondering if there was some hidden meaning behind his roast of Diddy. We break it down, along with why Jamie’s timing (and tone) raised eyebrows.

    🎶 The Motorsport Mess — We’re going back to 2017 and revisiting that verse change in “Motorsport.” Was this the beginning of the end for a Nicki x Cardi collaboration? We talk about Nicki Minaj’s reaction, how it affected her emotionally, and what this moment says about the rap game and women in hip-hop.

    This week on The Bubble Chat, we’re unpacking some of the wildest headlines making the rounds.

Then, we jump into the latest TikTok chaos: movie theaters are issuing warnings about a strange trend called “Chicken Jockey”—yep, it’s as weird as it sounds.
