Dec 6, 2024 | betches.com | Kaitlin Byrd |Ilana Frost |Syeda Khaula Saad |Gabi Conti

Sure, we were all excited to see our friends’ Spotify Wrapped this year. We wanted to know who lied about whose side they were on during the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, who’s a secret Swiftie, and who might need to be checked in on based on how many times they replayed “Good Luck, Babe!” But what I find more entertaining than getting a glimpse into my friends’ music taste in 2024 is getting to see what their dating life looked like.

Ruh roh, the girlies are fighting again. MomTok has seen its fair share of drama, including the infamous soft-swinging scandal, the Chippendales temper tantrum, and Whitney’s villain arc. But this time, the girls are not holding back (if they ever did), and they’ve brought their dispute online and into the public sphere. As always, Taylor Frankie Paul is at the centre of the drama and has even instigated this argument.

*Another* Forbes 30 Under 30 GirlBoss' Fraud Arrest Begs The Question: Is There A Curse?

Dec 3, 2024 | betches.com | Marissa Dow |Ilana Frost |Syeda Khaula Saad |Kaitlin Byrd

Each year that I’m left off of the Forbes 30 Under 30 year, I get increasingly offended. Am I now well over 30? Only according to medical doctors and my birth records! Despite the egregious snub, I’m slowly starting to realize that maybe being left out is a blessing in disguise. Formerly applauded AI girl boss Joanna Smith-Griffin was arrested on November 19, 2024, on charges of defrauding the investors she received after her 2021 30 Under 30 crowning — to the tune of 10 million buckaroonies.
Camila Cabello Just Gave A Detailed Update On Her Relationship With Normani

Dec 3, 2024 | betches.com | Syeda Khaula Saad |Kaitlin Byrd |Fleurine Tideman |Marissa Dow

To this day, I still find myself randomly belting and shaking ass to “BOSS / Michelle Obama, purse so heavy gettin’ Oprah dollars” and “That’s my giiiirl.” Say what you want, but those are undeniable bops.
