Just hours after CNN confirmed The Daily Beast’s report that a former Herschel Walker campaign staffer had accused conservative powerbroker Matt Schlapp of sexually assaulting him, a Schlapp ally was trying to malign the accuser—publicly and privately. In a text message to this reporter just after midnight on Jan. 12, a Republican fundraiser who’s been working for the Schlapps asked what she thought was a damning question about the accuser: “How’s his marriage going?” The fundraiser, Caroline Wren, who has worked for Lindsey Graham , Donald Trump , organizers of the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally , Kari Lake , and Caitlyn Jenner —and who now appears by name in the accuser’s $10 million sexual battery and defamation lawsuit against the Schlapps —likely knew the answer to that question.

But what lay beneath that shiny happy surface was cultlike … [Read more...] about 6 Podcasts About Cults and Their Enduring Sinister Attraction

Tiffany “New York” Pollard—the Lewis and Clark of reality television, by way of pioneering a historic amount of indelible memes—is back! And this time, she’s not playing any games. Well, alright. She’s playing a few games. In Season 2 of OUTtv’s Hot Haus , which fashions itself as The Apprentice for queer OnlyFans creators and adult entertainers, Pollard returns to her hosting spot appropriately riled up. “This year alone, over 300 anti-queer laws have been written and passed,” Pollard tells this season’s cast, in the exclusive trailer premiering on The Daily Beast’s Obsessed—which you can watch below. “What they’re aiming to do is erase queerness.” Hot Haus , which premiered on the OUTtv network last year to rave reviews, couldn’t be returning at a more appropriate time. In the face of a barrage of anti-queer bills, drag-banning states, and gender affirming care being stripped away from the youth of America, Hot Haus is a defiant middle finger to all who … [Read more...] about ‘Hot Haus,’ ‘The Apprentice’ for Queer OnlyFans Creators, Is Back!
