This week on The Bubble Chat, we’re covering a mix of pop culture, entertainment, and some real conversations that need to be had.

We start off with Mean Girls director Mark Waters revealing that Rachel McAdams originally auditioned to play Cady before Lindsay Lohan landed the role. It’s wild to imagine what that version of the movie would have looked like!

Then, we get into Audra McDonald speaking out about a boundary violation she experienced over an autograph — a reminder that respecting personal space matters, even with celebrities.

From there, we dive into why intimacy choreographers are becoming so important in high school theatre. These roles help create a safe environment for students while still bringing honesty and authenticity to performances.

We also touch on Roblox, which is facing a lawsuit over child safety concerns. Parents and kids spend so much time on this platform, so these conversations about online safety are more important than ever.

On a much heavier note, actress Ashley Argota has opened up about the emotional, financial, and physical abuse she allegedly suffered from her mother while growing up in the entertainment industry. We discuss how stories like hers shed light on the darker side of child stardom.

And finally, we look back at an episode of That’s So Raven where Raven experiences racial discrimination in the workplace after a job rejection in her vision. It may be a Disney Channel classic, but the themes are very real — and it’s a reminder of why we can’t afford to overlook or minimize behavior like this.

We’ve reached the end of Season 3, and in true Bubble Chat fashion, we’re wrapping things up with some real stories, iconic moments, and a whole lot to reflect on.

Here’s what we’re talking about in this finale:

🌀 Texas Floods: We open the episode by sending our love to everyone affected by the tragic floods in Central Texas. Families are grieving, communities are hurting, and the damage is heartbreaking. We’ve included some resources in the show notes if you’re looking to help or need support. If we come across any verified GoFundMe pages, we’ll link those here as well.

• The Red Cross: https://www.redcross.org/contact-us.html?srsltid=AfmBOorsYsafunmQVJB0FkHYU8tHnQ3NTCz7UyAkvivH7UnKcuOfJo8i

• Texas Flood Relief Fund: https://www.gofundme.com/f/flood-relief-fund-2025

🎬 Regina Hall and the Titanic Door Debate: Regina Hall shared her take on that never-ending debate about Jack, Rose, and the floating door. Was there really no space? Was Rose just… comfortable? We get into it.

💍 Blac Chyna & Derrick Milano: The engagement is officially off. The couple announced their split on good terms, but we talk about how there’s no telling what really happens behind the scenes in relationships—especially under the spotlight.

📺 Larry Charles on ‘80s Hollywood: The former Seinfeld writer revealed how drug culture—specifically cocaine—played a huge role behind the scenes in TV during the 1980s. It’s wild to think how many of those iconic shows came from people just trying to survive the chaos of the industry.

🎤 Zayn Malik Speaks Out: Zayn dropped a lyric that called out the racism he faced during his time in One Direction. We dive into why it matters, and how artists—especially those of color—are finally telling the truth about what they went through.

🎶 Throwback Moment – Fergie’s Anthem: And finally… we’re taking it back to 2018 when Fergie gave us that version of the National Anthem. Let’s just say—some performances live on forever.

Thanks for tuning in this season! The Bubble Chat will be back on August 25th with Season 4. Until then, stay safe, stay curious, and stay real.
