Episode Overview
In this spirited, irreverent episode of I've Had It, Jennifer and Pumps throw open the doors on various personal and social grievances, but the real focus—a sharp and comedic take-down—centers on the cultural lionization of the ultrarich, notably Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, and the complicity of major media.
