    If one can say anything uplifting about season 2 of “The Valley,” it’s probably that the show is, at least, providing video documentation of Jax Taylor’s misdeeds — and his slimy attempts to throw blame for his horrific behavior on everyone around him, his ex-wife Brittany Cartwright in particular.

    In this latest batch of episodes, Jax steps up his harassment of Britt. He continues to rage-text her, reaches out to their mutual friends and family to try to convince them he’s truly changed and needs Britt’s sympathy and care, watches her from the family home’s interior surveillance cameras, apparently fakes (or at least exaggerates) a medical emergency, dumps his disastrous financial problems on her, and continues to imply (under the guise of taking full accountability) that Britt is responsible for his bad behavior. After all, she should have held him accountable before! She should have left him! He wishes she had! Oh, if only someone had forced him to be less of a piece of s**t!

    Carrie Bradshaw is swanning about in tulle in her massive Gramercy Park townhouse. Her boyfriend is in Virginia, her jewelry designer millennial neighbor is now living in her old uptown apartment, and her friends are busy f*****g nuns and stalking elite college counselors.

    What would Jesse Solomon do (if you were a hot model in his proximity)?

  • The 'Mormon Wives' Are Back To Battle For The Soul Of MomTok
    2025/05/23

    What is MomTok? A business? A friend group? A sisterhood? A vehicle for TV drama? A tool for dismantling the patriarchal forces undergirding the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? In season 2 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” the ladies of MomTok are back — and they have very different answers to that big question.

    In this episode, we get into as much of the season’s drama as we can, including Taylor and Demi’s showdown, Zac’s attempts at redemption, and the final bombshell accusations that are thrown Jessi’s way. We also dig into some of the post-show drama. (Will MomTok survive this???)

    When “What Not To Wear,” a fashion makeover show starring stylists Clinton Kelly and Stacy London, first aired on TLC in 2003, the two of us were in the midst of our high school years — smack dab in the middle of style self-discovery and anxiety.
