Kristen Stewart’s Very Public Cheating Scandal

Kristen Stewart’s Very Public Cheating Scandal

In the early 2010’s Gen Z cared about two things A LOT, the movie franchise Twilight, and the fact that it’s stars we’re dating in real life. That was until certain pap photos surfaced breaking the two apart and breaking the hearts of Gen Z’s (and oddly some Gen Xers) everywhere. 

This episode Shannen takes Holly through a cheating scandal so big the former US President weighed in, and Holly surprises everyone with a secret obsession.  

And, we have some sad news... this will be our last ever episode of Lowbrow. We have absolutely love bringing you stories from the pop-culture archive, thank you so much for joining us along the way!

That Time The Internet Believed The Queen Was Reincarnated

There's nothing more we love here at Lowbrow than royal gossip and a conspiracy theory and this episode has both! 

Shannen takes Holly through the internets silliest rumour, was Queen Elizabeth reincarnated into Trisha Paytas' baby? Which obviously left Holly with one question... who is Trisha Paytas?

This is an investigation.
