Summary

In this raw and insane episode, I break down my wild two-week nightmare during the LA fires. From flames creeping toward my house and having to evacuate in chaos to my house getting broken into.

Oh, and all those conspiracy theories? I’m spilling the truth—was it arson? Is State Farm really bailing on people? And why was LA so unprepared for this? Buckle up, because I’m sharing everything you didn’t know the LA fires and debunking/confirming the conspiracy theories everyone’s been talking about.

Hit play to find out what really went down during the LA/Palisades fires.
