  • How to Lose Friends and Manifest Legal Trouble: Amanda Frances
    Feb 4 2026

    Legal Team, we’re back in Beverly Hills with more research into Amanda Frances. From questionable cease-and-desist letters allegedly sent to Redditors leaving reviews, to a failed federal lawsuit over the “look and feel” of another woman’s finance book. In this episode, we break down the consumer rights issues, the limits of non-disparagement clauses for people leaving honest reviews, and why Amanda’s attempt to claim ownership over “As F**k” and bathtub-money vibes didn’t exactly impress a federal judge. Spoiler: manifestation doesn’t work on trade dress law.

    What’s on the Docket?

    • The cease and desist letters Amanda’s team sent to online critics
    • How the Consumer Review Fairness Act protects online reviews
    • Amanda’s federal lawsuit claiming another author copied her book’s “look and feel”
    • What trade dress actually means
    • Why the judge denied Amanda’s request to pull an allegedly competing book from shelves

    Legal Team, surprise! We’re dropping a bonus episode with a behind-the-scenes recap of our BravoCon adventures with Larry from Bravo by Gays. From chaotic travel days and unexpected celeb run-ins to late-night parties, packed panels, and the absolute marathon that is BravoCon weekend, we’re spilling all the tea.

    • How we met Larry and why BravoCon friendships hit different
    • The wild kickoff events, surprise sightings, and lobby celeb moments
    • Inside the Watch What Happens Live tapings and Bravos madness
    • The reality of BravoCon logistics: lines, lounges, and survival tactics
    • After-parties, creator meetups, and the best moments off the convention floor
    • What we’d do differently next time (and what’s absolutely worth it)

  • From Roses to Restraining Orders: The Traitors’ Colton Underwood
    Jan 28 2026

    Legal Team, we’re heading to Scotland… by way of The Bachelor and a very disturbing real-life paper trail. This week we break down the restraining order filed by Cassie Randolph against former Bachelor Colton Underwood, whose alleged stalking behavior included harassing texts, anonymous burner numbers, and a tracking device found taped to her car. We walk through the court filings, the receipts, and how it all connects to the carefully managed public image he presents today on The Traitors. This isn’t just reality TV drama — it’s a sobering look at coercion, control, and how legal systems handle stalking cases.


    What’s on the Docket?

    • How Colton Underwood went from Bachelor lead to restraining order respondent
    • The alleged stalking behavior, including burner texts and messages sent to himself
    • The tracking device discovered taped underneath Cassie’s car
    • How California law defines stalking and why these cases are hard to prosecute
    • Why the restraining order was ultimately dismissed and what that legally means
