Welcome back to Fame Under Fire from BBC Sounds with me, Anushka Matanda Dougherty. Now, you know we have a back to back trial schedule for the rest of this year. We have the Blake Lively and Justin Bondoni trial in New York. That finishes straight into the Andrew Tate civil trial in the uk that backs into the two pack trial in Los Angeles and potentially the trial of David. We've done a few episodes on him that's going to be announced shortly. Then in October, we have the Russell Brand trial here in the uk. And to finish the year, of course, we have some civil trials for Kanye west in the United States. All of these trials are pretty heavy, pretty heavy topics. We know you're coming with us, as always, clocking in, locking in. So this week we are having a much needed mental health break and we're going to look at some lighter hearted lawsuits. Although I'm aware me saying it's lighter hearted is one thing, I'm not the person being sued. But joining me for a well needed break, he's been with us every step of the way is our resident trial attorney, Sean Ken in South Carolina. Hi, Sean.
