OMG you guys… I am LITERALLY not OK because I just sat down with comedian, writer, and former America’s Next Top Model contestant Sarah Hartshorne and it was chaotic, healing, hilarious, and deeply unwell in the best way. We’re talking everything from ANTM secrets and quarantine TikToks to her NEW BOOK You Wanna Be On Top?, bisexual awakenings, and why weed (in edible form) is actually self-care.
Sarah gets real about the exploitation behind reality TV, being trapped in a hotel post-elimination, the “Karen haircut” they gave her, and how a threesome basically changed her whole identity. I cried. I laughed. I spiraled. You're gonna LOVE her.
