In this week's episode, I explore the Hollywood smear campaign through the lends of the 'It Ends With Us' legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. I look at the history of smear campaigns, politically and culturally, before questioning how the internet's mob mentality and our obsessive pursuit for virality aid in conducting these targeted attacks.
