Meghan Markle's Disrespect, Keith Urban's Sex Secrets, and "Project Runway" Star Exposes Andy Cohen
Maureen is joined by Substack's "Naughty But Nice" celebrity reporter, Rob Shuter, and together they break down the Diddy sentencing, what this means for the convicted rapper going forward and how he'll probably land Malibu-level imprisonment. Then they both go off on the terrible choices exhibited by Meghan Markle and her brazen trip to Paris for Fashion Week, adorned in the shameful designer Balenciaga. Maureen points out how disrespectful it was for Meghan to take video of the very tunnel where Princess Diana was killed in car a crash.

On today's edition of The Nerve, Maureen Callahan unleashes on a trifecta of cultural offenders.

Then Maureen is joined by Substack's "Naughty But Nice" celebrity reporter, Rob Shuter, and the two of them break down the latest details in Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman's shocking split, the falsely reported story about Meghan Markle's estranged father, Hoda Kotb's 'Today Show 'regret, and the dark reality of Priscilla Presley's behavior.Rob Shuter: https://robshuter.substack.com?utm_source=navbar&utm_medium=webGolden Age Fats: Go to https://Goldenagefats.com/MAUREEN and use code MAUREEN for25% off your first order.Pique: Get 20% off your order plus a FREE frother & glass beaker with this exclusive link: https://piquelife.com/THENERVEMasa Chips: Get 25% off your first order | Use code MAUREEN at https://MASAChips.com/MAUREEN Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Whoopi's Retirement Woes, Bill Maher's OnlyFans Obsession, and Oprah Praises Elizabeth Gilbert
Maureen slays the roundtable at The View, zeroing in on Whoopi Goldberg and her history of being on the wrong side of several cultural arguments, plus her absurd claim that she can't afford to retire. Then Maureen takes another swing at Bill Maher for what seems to be an obsession with talking about OnlyFans and making lewd sexual remarks when speaking to his female guests. Maureen also skewers Oprah and Gayle for promoting the murder-plotting-writer, Elizbeth Gilbert, for her shameful new book that strips her deceased girlfriend of her dignity after death. And then another round of audience mail that shines a light on some of our repeat offenders.Remi: Protect your teeth.
