Margo & Sonia talk about a couple of Creeps who made all of the tabloids in America in the early 90s. Joey Buttafuoco and John Wayne Bobbitt were/are terrible people who did wrong by the women in their lives in too-crazy-to-believe ways and the media loved it. Now we offer our perspective with a modern lens.

The Hulu/FX documentary “Framing Britney Spears” created such a need in both of us to talk about the state of her father’s control over her entire life.

Peter Sellers was an English actor and comedian who influenced generations of legendary performers including The Beatles and Monty Python. Possibly known best by American audiences for playing Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther movies, in real life he was not the life of the party.

Instead of talking about the COVID-19 virus, we’re talking about the creator of anti-virus software, John McAfee. He calls himself the God of Computer Security.

Season 9, Episode 9
We have a saying here at “What a Creep”--we definitely have a schedule for our shows. And we are more than happy to move things around when the world is indicating for us to do so.
The Hulu/FX documentary “Framing Britney Spears” created such a need in both of us to talk about the state of her father’s control over her entire life. Since 2008, her father, Jamie Spears, has taken control over everything from her health decisions, to work schedules to the care of her two children.
Apparently, Britney has not seen the documentary but is planning to release her own which brings us total glee!
