How Private Texts Change Legal and Social Choices

What is happening in Minneapolis and why is it being called a “watershed” moment for Trump’s America? Sorry, Amelia Lester, you are not getting a week off from explaining something distressing happening in the USA. And, while we’re at it, what is with the Melania documentary, and why is it opening in cinemas in Australia this week?

How are you meant to behave when your relationship ends in a very public mess not of your choosing? Hide away and lick your wounds? Spill every ugly detail in 25 Instagram stories? 2026 has other ideas and we have a new playbook for “wronged wife”, thanks to Australian former ’WAG’ Jules Neale. 

Also, Amelia, Jessie Stephens and Holly Wainwright consider whether Coco Gauff should have been allowed to have a tennis tantrum in peace. What’s the latest with the Beckham family meltdown and what do leaked celebrity text messages tell us about our own group-chats?
