EP. 186 — In Our Shameless Era with Simon Rex

This week, Jameela is joined by one of her good friends, Simon Rex, known for the Scary Movie series, as the ‘Red Rocket’ award-winning actor, former MTV VJ, and his music alter ego, Dirt Nasty. They discuss the steep rise and fall of working in the entertainment industry, especially Simon’s visibility in the early canon of Internet scandals (plus a recent ethical decision regarding Meghan Markle), along with adult mental health in the context of childhood abandonment, the lack of solid representation in male role models, Simon’s recent ADHD diagnosis, and much more.
