Margaret Qualley Splits from Jack Antonoff, Graham Platner's Exit Video Is a Disaster & The Nolan Wells Case
About this episode
The episode discusses the split between Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff, Graham Platner's controversial exit from the Maine Senate race, and the disappearance of Nolan Wells.
Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff have split, and Dr. Sarah Oreck breaks down the relationship red flags that were there from the beginning, from love bombing to power differentials to body language on the red carpet. Then, Graham Platner officially drops out of the Maine Senate race with an 11-minute backyard video that manages to feed conspiracy theories, invoke his pregnant wife, and never once apologize. Meredith and Sarah also get into why Democrats need to stop fixating on Susan Collins (and Patrick Dempsey) and start targeting the people who actually make MAGA run. Plus, the Nolan Wells case: an 18-year-old Black freshman athlete disappears during a July 4th boating trip in Mississippi, his friends leave without him, and his family has retained attorney Ben Crump in their search for truth. PLUS: RHOC’s Jennifer Pedranti’s son and a SoCal brush fire, Emmy nominations hot takes including Jean Smart in Hacks, Robert Pattinson comparing his Odyssey role to Twilight, and a listener question about solo dating in Scotland and what mom doesn't need to know. The Moment LIVE is hosted by Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès. New episodes every Tuesday and Friday. Subscribe so you…
