Brand Breakups and Bravo Truths: Brooklyn Beckham, Amanda and Kyle and why The Valley: Persian Style works.

In this episode of Pop Therapy, we are joined by one of our faves, Dana Regan The Bravo Investigator, for a sharp, fast-moving unpack of the biggest pop-culture moments right now.

We dive into Brooklyn Beckham’s shock statement and the very public separation from his famous family - what it signals, what it exposes, and why it’s landed so loudly. We then turn to the Amanda and Kyle split on Summer House - the slowest relationship unraveling reality TV has ever normalised - and what Amanda’s honesty around mental health reveals about emotional labour in public relationships.

We touch on The Traitors and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, before ending where Bravo is getting it right. The Valley: Persian Style gets its flowers as one of the most exciting new additions to the network - rich cultural context, real relational stakes, and dynamics that feel lived-in rather than produced.

Pop culture, with the therapy lens firmly on.
