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

• Texas RioGrande Legal Aid: https://www.trla.org/
• 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.

This episode of The Bubble Chat gets heavy, emotional, and just plain messy. We break it down everything from heartbreaking news in a maternity case to shady showbiz callouts that have the internet buzzing. Grab a drink, breathe deep, and let’s talk about it.

🕊️ Tragic Update: Adriana Smith
We start with some devastating news. Adriana Smith has sadly been taken off life support after giving birth via C-section. Our hearts go out to her family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. We send our deepest condolences and prayers for her newborn baby and everyone affected by this loss.

😷 Sunny Hostin’s Near-Death Experience
Sunny Hostin opened up about a terrifying moment from her past — a near-fatal allergic reaction she once experienced. On The View, she detailed what happened, how quickly things escalated, and how it changed her perspective on health and advocacy for allergy awareness.

🎭 Margaret Cho Breaks Her Silence
Margaret Cho finally speaks out about her past experience with Ellen DeGeneres. After years of speculation and stories from other celebs, Cho gives her side and shares how the interaction affected her personally and professionally. It’s another piece of the puzzle when it comes to Ellen’s behind-the-scenes reputation.

📱Madonna and the iPad at Hamilton?!
Anthony Ramos isn’t holding back. He called out Madonna for reportedly using her iPad during a Hamilton performance — yes, you read that right. He expressed frustration about how distracting and disrespectful it was, especially for the cast giving it their all on stage. Broadway etiquette, folks — it matters!

🍼 Trace Cyrus vs. Brenda Song
Trace Cyrus has made some serious allegations, claiming that Brenda Song faked a pregnancy and even cancer during their past relationship. We gave honest thoughts — from acknowledging how young we were when their relationship went down to stressing that unless we know the full truth, we can't pick sides. Either way, it's a messy situation that needs to be handled with care.

⛪ Tamar Braxton Uses Adrienne's Church Clip
Tamar Braxton stirred up talk online after using an old video of Adrienne Bailon-Houghton at a church event from 2018. The post seemed out of nowhere, and fans had questions — was it shade? Was it praise? Or something else entirely? We dig into the timeline and try to unpack what really went down.

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.
